For first-time mothers

Working out is tough, especially if you need to get back in shape after a baby! Treat moms to a pair of Alala workout pants and have them customized so she feels extra incentive!

A cute notebook to write down all the annoying, funny, and personal things from being a first-time mom.

Tory Sport’s seamless cami long bra is great for working out in, or just to wear on a day-to-day basis, as it gives great support and looks chic.

Ask any mother what she craves on her special day, and chances are she’ll say some peace and quiet. If she’s in New York City, a facial at Georgia Louise Atelier (where Katy Perry and Emma Stone are regulars) is an indulgent treat. And if a trip to NYC is out of the question, why not treat her to the Elemis Biotec products the salon uses?

Wine not? Get it!

Breakfast in bed sounds great but can be even better if mama has fabulous new bed linens! Beautifully designed throws made by Boll & Branch will make her special day extra cozy.

Susanne Kaufmann products will bring a smile to any new mom’s face. Treat swollen and tired feet and legs with a chilled, organic mist of yarrow, marigold, dandelion, and menthol (sounds like a refreshing cocktail).

What better treat for a new mom than a week of no cooking? Portable Chef prepares healthy meals using organic ingredients and can incorporate any dietary requirements into each meal.

For eco-friendly mothers

Not only are LemLem’s products handmade in Ethiopia with natural cotton, but the sales of the products will also help support the local artisans and communities.

For beautiful and unique jewelry, try Page Sargisson. Her pieces are made of recycled metals along with conflict-free diamonds.

Handmade in California, Melissa Joy Manning’s nature-inspired jewelry is green certified and uses recycled precious metals, ethically sourced gold, and upcycled stones.

One of the most buzzed-about brands during NYFW is also one of the most ethical and sustainable. Most of the leathers used are vegetable-tanned and dyed, which reduces pollution. They also use Kudu leather, which is an animal byproduct, so animals aren’t killed just for their skins.

At Heidi Merrick’s eponymous label, everything is produced responsibly and locally in Los Angeles. Her Repurposed collection consists of pajamas made from repurposed fabric from her archives. You’ll sleep well in these cute, personalizable pajamas knowing you helped the earth.

Treat your mom with Herbivore Botanicals — all ingredients are plant-based, organic, food-grade, and animal cruelty-free. This coconut milk bath soak will soften and hydrate mom’s skin with the aroma of coconut and natural vanilla.

Feit shoes are vegetable-tanned and handmade. They’re also created in limited volumes to ensure minimal environmental impact, with the highest quality. Give the gift of chic and timeless leather loafers that’ll soon become her everyday go-to.

For a true natural way to paper yourself, Province Apothecary has a variety of products that are vegan, cruelty-free, organic, and green business certified. This detoxifying + clarifying mask works for all skin types and will draw out impurities as well as detox and tighten the skin, reducing signs of aging.

Mom looking for a new bag? Stop at Matt and Nat for bags made of PU vegan leather, recycled plastic bottles for lining, and other sustainable materials. The Row bag is perfect for Mom’s weekend get-togethers.

For the out-of-town mother

Since you can’t be with your mom this year, give her the gift of a flight, so next year, she can come straight to you without any hesitation, financial concerns, ifs, ands, or buts.

This classically beautiful locket can be personalized with a picture of the two of you so you can always be close, even if you’re thousands of miles away.

Give your mom the gift of the ultimate beauty treatment with beGlammed. They’ll send professional hair and makeup stylists direct to her door so she can feel more beautiful than ever in the comfort of her own home. Yahoo Style readers can receive a special 15 percent discount by using the code mothersdayJB15 upon purchase (valid until 6/1/2016).

These will be the freshest flowers you ever send your mom. Order from anywhere in the country and Bouqs will send your mother the freshest bouquet within two to four days from first being cut, versus 10-14 days elsewhere.

Send your mom a pre-made or personally curated selection of candles and stationary that all come beautifully wrapped in a box, straight to her door.

Give your mother a beautiful cashmere scarf from Burberry and make it personal with her embroidered initials. How can your mom not feel like a queen in this?

Give your mom the ultimate personalized tote bag to pack all her day-to-day essentials.

This year, you can send your mom an imprint — a collection of messages, photos, and videos that you, friends, and family members collectively give to your mom — all digitally via a link. Best news? It’s absolutely free.

This new app creates hard-copy monthly zines straight from your phone’s photo library. Pick and choose your photo selects, and with a single tap, you can send your mom an update on your life every month through photos bound in a beautiful magazine printed on archival paper.

For the mother who has everything

For the minimal mom who likes to host parties, this personalized tableware is the perfect gift.

Give the gift of a getaway to this luxurious and romantic oasis in the middle of Utah.

For the laid-back mom who likes to experiment and try new food, we present The Cannabis Cookbook.

For foodie moms, a monthly subscription to FareTrade America would be perfect, as she will get a case of new, made-in-America artisanal treats every month. More toys to play with in the kitchen!

Give your mom the ultimate luxurious gift of a 24K gold plated iMac. We’re sure she doesn’t already have this sitting on her desk.

Be inspired and marvel at the late architect extraordinaire Zaha Hadid.

Obviously if you are treating your mom to a private jet trip, she needs good luggage to go with it! The Luxury Collection x Globe-Trotter collaboration suitcase designed by Sofia Sanchez de Betak comes with a treasure map of four Greek islands. Take your pick from Santorini, Mykonos, Athens, and Messinia. Or better still, buy her the luggage and the trip to go with!

What mom wouldn’t want a soothing, calming bath? After a long day of working or watching the kids, she can take a bath and unwind with the scent of lavender and chamomile.

Treat your mom with a special, beautifully bound book that features all the New York Times’ historical stories from a special date in your mom’s life.

Give mom this ultra-luxurious colorful mink satchel with silk ribbon detail. We promise she does not already own this.

This bag was originally designed by Jean Paul Gaultier that is both bohemian and elegant with an ode to Birkin. Your mom will carry this every day.

Let’s be real, choosing the perfect gift for the person who gave you life is not an easy task. Should you go the traditional route and get some flowers and chocolate or be spontaneous and get her something drastically new? And obviously you need a different type of gift for the earthy-crunchy mom, versus the luxury-loving mom. Whatever the case, we’ve got you covered. Ahead, we found dozens of gifts that’ll make you mother’s favorite.
