The 61 Best Mother’s Day Gifts for Every Type of Mom

Mom deserves to wrap herself up in everything luxe, which is where this cozy—and versatile—cardigan comes in. She’ll reach for it on a crisp cool night spent chasing the kids at the playground or for when the A/C is cranking a little too much at the office. The open-front design adds to the throw-on-and-go appeal, but she’ll also love the ultra-flattering (read: bum-covering) length.

Take it from a mom who loves to dress for the drop-off: This set is not just cozy, it’s chic enough to wear out into the world, whether you’re shuttling the kids or running errands...and more. The French terry fabric has a lot to do with it: It’s as soft as it is luxe. But it’s the dropped armholes of the sweatshirt and the perfect bagginess of the pant that will make mom feel cool and modern.

When the kids are finally asleep, the only thing mom will want to reach for is this weighted sleep mask that doubles as a hug for your head. Clinically tested and user-approved, 87 percent of those who tried it felt calmer within five minutes of use. The four-pod design also evenly distributes the weight for a more soothing fit and one that applies pressure, minus any discomfort. Did I mention it's freezer-friendly?

What's better than a bouquet of flowers? A bouquet of flowers bejeweled onto an adorable cardigan, of course. This 100 percent cotton knit glitters with floral embellishments—think of them as built-in brooches if mom loves that sort of thing. It's fun and unique, and definitely something she'll reach for whenever she's getting dressed for a special occasion (like, say, a Mother's Day brunch?).

Perhaps mom is fine-tuning a hobby—or considering a career change. Maybe she’s simply looking to improve her culinary skills. This popular membership will give her access to high-profile experts (everyone from Alice Waters to Bobbi Brown) and online instruction from more than 180 of the world’s most accomplished practitioners in the realms of media, the arts and beyond. Even better, she can stream their videos anytime from her smartphone, computer, Apple TV, Roku and FireTV.

Get mom a gift that will have her heart swelling with nostalgia and love. A view finder isn't only nostalgic in and of itself, but filling it with sweet photos of your youth will likely have both of you in tears looking back on memories while you hear stories of the time you cut your sister's hair or a special moment you had on your wedding day. It holds 14 photos and one center photo and the finder itself is available in a few different color options.

Absolutely nothing beats a bouquet of fresh flowers, but Fresh Sends is in a league of its own thanks to elegant packaging and its thoughtful arrangements of quality, in-season blooms. Also, the price point: You can send mom a selection of 10 stems for just $62 (or upgrade to a few more with vase included for just $149—options abound). Quite frankly, nothing will brighten her day more than a colorful selection of fresh and fragrant florals.

As I described, the mental load is real for moms, but the Skylight gives her a digital space to jot it all down while simultaneously empowering other members of her family (cough, her spouse, cough) to take the lead. As for the new iteration of the calendar, it now comes with a brighter and thinner display, not to mention syncs with Alexa so she can update the grocery list simply by yelling out.

She’s super into mixing up smoothies, ditto making ice cream with the kiddos. This countertop product features easy-to-use functionality so the whole family can participate and mix up frozen treats. In fact, there are seven one-touch programs, making it possible to choose between ice cream, sorbet, gelato, milkshakes and more. It’s the gift that will keep on giving—all year long.

Two words mom loves more than anything: "screen free." This digital point-and-shoot camera channels the nostalgia—and surprise factor!—of film-style photography while allowing her to stay in the moment. (The only way she can peep her pics is by viewing them on the SD memory card that comes included later on.) Even better, this old-school camera is durable enough for her kids to borrow.

In gold vermeil and responsibly sourced aquamarine, these gemstone earrings will make her think of you every time she catches of glimpse of them in the mirror. They measure just over an inch in length, so they’re both subtle and dressy—the perfect style to wear every day, but also out to dinner or to something fancier.

So she’s hosting brunch for Mother’s Day—why not check the charcuterie board off her list? She won’t be able to help but indulge in the 16 hand-selected artisan cheeses, meats, dried fruits, and nuts served on a beautiful acacia wood serving board. And did I mention it arrives fast (you get free overnight shipping) and is fully arranged to enjoy for up to ten days when refrigerated?

Don't underestimate the power of a good sweater. Made from 100 percent organic cotton, this number will look just as elegant with denim as it will thrown on over a dress. The all-over rib detailing delivers the perfect vibe for chill days and nights. You know she’ll live in it (and think of you every time she throws it on).

For the mom who’s always hemming and hawing about the artwork she hangs, selecting a statement piece (or buying her a gift card to choose her own) from Artfully Walls—a site that curates gallery-worthy affordable art from around the world—will help set her in the right direction. Especially satisfying? The site’s wall designer tool, which will allow her to move things around and mix and match pieces she has her eye on. What could be better than the gift of an upgraded gallery wall?

Layering necklaces is mom’s forte, which is why she’ll treasure this delicate piece from Gorjana, featuring a dainty floating diamond as its understated centerpiece. We tried this on in-store and especially loved the adjustable chain, a detail that made it easy to mix and match with other heftier chains.

The functional carry-all every mom needs. This water-repellent bag from lululemon features a relaxed silhouette that’s surprisingly spacious and designed with organization top of mind. There are zippered exterior pockets as well as interior pockets made to fit the essentials (lip balm, a wallet, a phone). It tucks in close to your frame as a shoulder bag, but the strap can also be adjusted to turn it into a crossbody.

I tend to overheat when I sleep, so this lightweight set has extra appeal. Mom will love the classic striped design almost as much as she loves the breathable weave of the Pima cotton. But truly, this is a PJ set that will leave her feeling polished and, better yet, one that will hold up to wear and tear.

Mom runs around taking care of everyone else all day, but then the effects of her daily stress (think dry, parched skin) take root overnight. Not with this cream from Osea. This overnight moisturizer has been clinically proven to reduce the effects of stress on skin. The ultra-hydrating, plumping cream actively repairs, relying on algae-derived bio retinol, plus five other hydrators to minimize fine lines and wrinkles. She’ll love it.

One and done—that’s the mantra mom believes in when it comes to making meals. And that’s what makes this particular kitchen essential so great. The enameled cast iron delivers even heat distribution and retention and, at 3.5 quarts—5 quarts is also available—there’s plentiful space to bring a full recipe to life. (We whipped up a spaghetti dinner in ours and it easily fit multiple servings.) Not only that, it’s fairly effortless to clean and comes in 23 colors, so there’s an option for every aesthetic.  One dish that minimizes mealtime mess and looks pretty while doing it? That’s the dream.

New moms will attest: There’s nothing that feels quite as good as wearing your new identity loud and proud. Enter this delicate “mama” necklace, made from 14-karat gold and with a pendant that measures just 5 by 18 millimeters. (Truly, the recognition is subtle.)

Delivering a power punch of hydration, this Korean skincare favorite—which has a serious cult following (including one Meghan Markle)—purports to improve skin elasticity and reduce sagging for firmer skin, thanks to hero ingredients like collagen and niacinamide. Additionally, it's said to restore radiance to the complexion, giving it a tightened, glass-like effect.

So mom doesn’t have much of a green thumb—that’s OK! That’s where the elegant and authentic-looking offerings from Balsam Hill come in. For example, this outdoor-safe arrangement would look lovely on her patio or next to her entryway. Every handcrafted piece comes with slight variations, which makes it look like the real deal—no water required.

There’s nothing like a cozy candle—and the easy ambiance it provides—that will provide mom with some much-needed relaxation. The sleek, cylindrical jar features a minimalist style that works with any decor, but what she’ll really love is the scent. The fragrance has notes of bergamot, sage and lavender for a light, floral fragrance with undertones of citrus and spice, with a burn time of 60 to 80 hours. Bonus: The packaging is designed for you to pen a note right on the box.

Ever met a mom whose hair looks like it’s been freshly blown out sans a trip to the salon? Spoiler alert: She’s probably got a Dyson Supersonic beneath her bathroom sink. The four precise heat settings (ranging from 140 degrees for gentle drying all the way up to 212 degrees for faster styling), not to mention arsenal of attachments, enable her to be precise as she styles. It’s also quiet and lightweight, and equipped with a variety of intelligent sensors to optimize her haircare routine.

A little birdie told us it’s been a while since she bought something nice for herself. That’s where you come to the rescue with this gift set featuring the cult-favorite The Cream and The Rich Cream that make skin look and feel as smooth as glass (no, seriously, just read our review). Thanks to its amino acids, high-grade vitamins and synthesized molecule-packed formulas, Augustinus Bader's ultra nourishing products feel like a spa day in a bottle.

Admit it: When it comes to luggage, it’s easy to take the Goldilocks approach. But unlike other options that can be either too big or too small, this medium-sized option from Away, now available in its softside nylon material, is just right. Not only does this thoughtfully designed bag fit a lot, it comes with a compression pad system that allows you to really maximize the space. And even as the weight goes up, this luggage stays nimble—it corners like it’s on rails, something mom will love.

She’ll appreciate the versatility of this dermatologist-recommended device, which uses red light therapy to help with anti-aging and skin rejuvenation (reducing wrinkles and fine lines included). The best part? It promotes healthier and younger-looking skin while still being a gentle and non-invasive treatment she can do at home.

When I say this lip mask delivers on the perfect pucker, trust me. It’s non-tacky, highly moisturizing and, frankly, exactly what mom needs to leave the house feeling a hair more put together, even on her most frazzled days. Think of it this way: If you do nothing else for yourself all day, this lip mask delivers an act of self-care. The fact that it plumps lips and helps lock in moisture? Even better.

Designed to accommodate both portrait and landscape images, this digital frame (featuring a 1280 by 800 HD display) instantly uploads photos and videos that are added to its corresponding app. What does this mean? Grandma (or any mom) can tap to frame and display all of her favorite pics. “Like so many other moms, I have hundreds (thousands!) of photos of my kids on my phone but I rarely print them out to put into frames,” says PureWow contributing editor Alexia Dellner. “The Aura frame does the hard work for me, and I love the paper-like matted border that really makes the pictures pop,” she adds.  

Whether her preference is a dry Sauvignon Blanc or a funky orange varietal, the boxed wine offerings from Juliet—with grapes sourced from all around California—will delight her palate. The packaging also makes the product a standout (and totally giftable). You can expect the equivalent of two full bottles of wine in each package, which, once cracked, stay good for four full weeks. Not bad.

It’s a cookbook that will reinvigorate mom’s passion for homemade meals. This foundational offering from Julia Turshen is divvied up into six sections (salads and sandwiches; soups, stews and braises; rice, more grains and pasta; vegetables; mains; and baked goods) that feature charts and 100 recipes that focus more on how to build a delicious dish while still leaving room for creativity and resourcefulness (i.e., how to improvise based on what you already have in your fridge).

She loves flowers—that you know. But what if you could gift her blooms that last…forever? Enter LEGO’s Botanical Collection, which offers a buildable floral display she can create herself. This particular set is meant to be a bit of a challenge, too, with 749 pieces. Upon completion, she’ll love displaying her “bouquet,” which doubles as a stunning table centerpiece.

Oh, the things she carries—it’s a lot. But for the occasions when she wants to hold a bit less and look chic while doing it (say, for brunch with friends or a happy hour after work), this stunner from Polène is just the ticket. Per the brand, “Mokki” is borrowed from the Finnish and means “cabin,” which is the vibe this bag gives off as a home to all the essentials. It helps that Polène, the brand, is also super en vogue, with lines out the door in Paris (a tidbit mom will relish passing along to her pals).

You know mom takes a zillion photos but struggles to get them framed. (Guilty!) Framebridge now offers an affordable solution that’s effortless and elegant, too. All you need to do is upload an iPhone pic (you can mine her Instagram for a shot you know she loves)—choose a frame (there are 12 different styles) and they’ll print the pic, frame it and deliver it in a gorgeous, gift-ready box. Onto the gallery wall it goes!

Everyone has a weakness. If hers is cookware, then this set is her match made in heaven. For starters, she'll get a frying pan, saucepan, sauté pan, Dutch oven and a storage solution to cover all the bases. Plus, they're nonstick and eco-friendly, safely reaching 550 degrees Fahrenheit without leaving any stains. Their stainless-steel handles and enameled outer surface for oven-safe cooking are just the cherry on top. But we bet she'll be even more impressed by how well she can pull off cooking with no oil (did you guess we put these pans to the test?).

She's never met a gummy candy she didn’t like, but this elevated (and Swedish-inspired) offering from candy brand BonBon is in a class all its own. The sour fish flavors included range from Elderflower to Wild Strawberry. They’re vegan, gluten-free and naturally colored, so they also check all the boxes in terms of what she cares about, ingredient label-wise. Sharing optional, of course.

A best seller for the British-born beauty brand, this fragrance features fresh, golden King William pear and white freesia blossom for a scent that is both floral and bright. What’s extra fun about Jo Malone is that its perfumes are meant to be layered, which results in a scent that’s personalized to you. This means mom can start with this as her base, then build on it—and with every spritz, she’ll think of her favorite child (you).

It’s giving Jane Birkin—and mom loves it. This vintage-style wicker frame bag is a throwback in the best possible way, but it’s also a statement piece that’s been elegantly modernized, too. (We especially love the sleek leather flap and floral fabric detailing on the inside.) She can carry it with her to her next Mahjong meetup (where she's sure to rake in the compliments).

For the mom who’s on her feet all day (so, every mom?), this soft suede mule is the perfect fit. The Halina combines slip-on convenience with a custom-feel fit, thanks to its molded, leather-lined cork footbed and adjustable strap. “I love the plush cushioning of the Halina and how I easily I can put them on when I need to rush out the door with a couple of kids in tow,” says Dellner. “Crucially, they are super comfortable—and they look just as chic with a pair of jeans as they do with a summer dress.” 

If mom likes to look good but can't quite find time to shop (or just wants to try some new looks), she'll enjoy a gift certificate to Daily Look. The service matches her with a personal stylist who puts together a box of looks for her to review and send back, purchasing only whatever she likes. Each box has a $40 styling fee, but that's folded into the price of whatever she purchases. For a personal touch, promise to visit and bring a bottle of wine to share while she tries on her new outfits.

This durable, washable, tip-proof beach bag is an all-star, whether mom is headed to the beach or simply carrying all the essentials to soccer practice. In its largest format, it fits it all—towels, groceries, water bottles, the works. But mom’s favorite part is the practicality (ahem, like the clear insert bags that come included, perfect for stashing keys and her phone).

Mom can self-select her favorite polishes (or you can choose for her) when you gift this mani system, but even better than the color options are the manicure essentials that come included. For example, Olive & June's innovative “Poppy,” a rounded handle that fits on top of nail polish caps to make brushing on polish smoother and more precise than she’s ever done freehand. (Extra points if you give your mom a manicure with her favorite hue.)

As long as you know her clothing size, this button-up top from Sézane is the kind of shirt she can wear on repeat…forever. Crafted from a crisp, breathable blend of organic cotton and linen, it's as timeless (and seasonless) as it is chic—and the green stripe paired with the soft ecru is both muted and a total stand-out.

If she's set out to cut back on caffeine—but still needs that morning latte—she'll adore this wellness-focused brand's Chai blend. Not only does Clevr load its drinks with adaptogens, probiotics and organic, non-GMO superfoods, they're easy to make (seriously, just a few tablespoons of mix, froth with water and you’re good to go). But back to the ingredients. They’re designed to help the body manage stress while still providing an energy boost via caffeine (but not too much caffeine). The final result is delish—and one mom will want to whip up on repeat.

Maybe you’d like to whisk mom away on vacation, but time and money doesn’t quite allow for it. Enter: ResortPass, which allows you to pay a fee to use hotels for the day. Meaning you can enjoy all of the hotel’s luxury amenities (like pools, spas, beach access and more), without paying for a night’s stay. And with thousands of hotels on offer around the country (including Marriott, Four Seasons and Fontainebleau), you’re sure to find one near you. “I’d love a weekend getaway for Mother’s Day but figuring out the logistics of who will look after my three kids while I’m away is, well, the opposite of relaxing. But sneaking away for a day to a luxury hotel near me with ResortPass is much easier to plan for—yes, please!” Dellner says. 

No more roaming around for her keys. This adhesive-backed, Bluetooth-enabled tracker will ring if her lost item (say, a glasses case or wallet) is within 150 feet. All she has to do is hop on her Life360 app and ring her tile to find whatever she has it attached to. Farther away than that, and a pop-up map shows the location. Crisis averted.

There’s no greater workhorse in your beauty bag than this multi-stick for lips and cheeks—mom will agree. Available in various beautifully buildable colors, she’ll delight at how luminous her skin looks (and feels!), not to mention the pocket-sized packaging. If she likes to keep her makeup bag nice and travel-sized, this multi-use stick will reduce three products to one.

Everyone loves a shortcut, and some moms really prefer them in the kitchen. Enter: this powerhouse of a countertop oven. With a range of culinary features (including the ability to air fry, toast, roast, bake, reheat, broil and steam), it will simplify her weeknight dinner routine—and will also look quite pretty on display.

She can brag to all her foodie friends about her pantry full of acclaimed, California-made blended olive oils with hints of lemon and basil. And the attractive bottles with UV-coated glass that protect the delicate liquids inside? They're Instagram-ready for her next food prep post. The Awake oil is a cold-pressed oil made for cooking, while the Alive oil has a smoother taste meant for topping foods. With this set she'll also get two stainless-steel, easy-pour spouts for a really gourmet experience.

Vive le paper planner—that’s what your mom loves to say. But TBQH, it’s a lost art putting pen to paper, especially in a format this luxe. I love the “Italian Summer” theme, available in four different hues, almost as much as I love the undated pages—flexible planning at its best.

As sleek as it is practically silent, this medical-grade HEPA air purifier will transform her indoor air, but also her interior design. It purports to remove 99.97 percent of harmful particles like allergens, smoke, pet dander and more with alerts about sub-par conditions that come her way via an app. She’ll love the sense of control, but also how clean the air she breathes starts to feel.

This silicone cookware lets her cook pasta in the microwave in a snap. I'm talking penne alla vodka or lemon spaghetti, sauce and all, in the same vessel. She can wash, cook and drain her noodles in this dish, not to mention eat from it after it's done. Other than a fork, it's the only thing she'll have to clean after she's done eating—and all she has to do then is toss it in the dishwasher. Oh, all the scrubbing she'll save.

This elegant candle is lightly scented with citrus and champagne, but it’s the visual of a stroll through New York City’s picturesque West Village that will make mom feel wistful and cool (and, perhaps, remind her of the times she hung out there herself). The scent is lovely for spring and summertime, so May is the perfect time for her to light it. “I say it’s like lighting a citrus candle in a cabin in the woods that hasn’t been renovated since the 1970s…. and I mean this in the best way. Glorious,” analogized one customer.

The blue light emitted from digital devices has been linked to headaches, sleeplessness and at the very least, eye fatigue. These blue-light frames have a retro design and a durable finish, and they are available in multiple magnification strengths.

She can put these little plastic booties on for an hour, then a week later, all the callouses and dead skin on her heels and toes will magically slough off. (Overall, way less ticklish than using a pumice stone.) It's formulated with 16 natural extracts, and the simple instructions make it an easy self-care task she'll love keeping up with. Each box comes with one pair of booties, so grab her a few for months of smooth feet.

A gift fit for the queen of the bake sale. This sleek, sturdy and pro-quality mixer earned high marks from our VP of Editorial Candace Davison. “The 12-speed dial makes it easy to gradually up the ante—and pause it, if you need to double-check your recipe—but what I loved most was the guide alongside the controls,” she says. That double-sided scraper beater is designed to swipe the sides and bottom of the bowl at every turn, so you don’t have to pause and scrape down batter manually as often (legit, genius).

This minimalist bird feeder can be hung from a tree or suctioned onto the glass window next to mom's breakfast nook, the perfect spot to catch a view of all the bird varieties frequenting her backyard. Bonus: If you attach it to glass, it also works as a squirrel deterrent—you know those critters always drive her mad. Make sure she follows the specific instructions on how to suction cup the feeder to the window so it doesn't fall off.

These lightweight joggers will convince her to set aside those bulky cotton sweatpants she’s been living in. The premium stretch fabric is incredibly breathable and soft like butter, but they also feature a slightly cropped leg, side pockets and a drawstring waist for peak functionality. They’ll be mom’s new go-to.

Help her gently wake to a custom glowing sunrise designed to support healthy cortisol levels. This alarm clock also includes a soft reading light without eye-straining blue hues. She can alter the colors, wake up times, sounds and more right from the app so she can customize it to her liking for an optimal wakeup. The clock also dims at night so it's not bright in the dark, but if she taps on it, it lights up so she can see the time. Nifty is an understatement.

Nothing feels quite as cathartic (and calming) as this hand-held depuffing wand, which features both cold and hot facial treatments that will help reduce under-eye puffiness and improve skin elasticity and radiance. Take it from one sleep-deprived mom (me!), this device not only works, it soothes. The easy-glide tip is the best part, making it a cinch to navigate delicate areas (like under the eyes). Plus, it's compact enough to fit in her purse.

Moms are selfless, this you know, but they also love nothing more than lifting up their community. Which is exactly why she’ll love receiving a shirt where 100 percent of the proceeds help support pregnant and parenting teens in L.A.’s foster care system so that they can build a positive future for themselves and their children. This design was created as part of a partnership with artist and poet, Cleo Wade. She’ll wear it proudly, and so appreciate the good behind the gesture (and gorge new tee).
