Bedhead PJs are a personal favorite, and personally, I can’t think of a better gift. PJs are one of my go-to presents because I’ve never had anyone unhappy receiving them. This beloved style comes in XS to 3X sizes, and is made of lightweight poplin, so Mom can enjoy them right away in the warmer spring-summer season. I love a pair of pajamas that makes me feel pretty (even for bed), and the little print and just-loose enough fit here fit the bill. But what I love even more than feeling gussied up is easy-to-care-for garments, and you can toss these in the washing machine.

I always like to pop a little something extra when I'm gifting anything to single moms—Mother's Day especially. That's because anything that engage the Littles is going to give mom a few minutes of "me time" to indulge something frivolous like dishes or vacuuming. (Ha!) This book is packed with *30* fun, engaging and adventurous activities that will keep kids entertained for hours on end (with minimal supervision). Plus, the interactive scratch-off design will help kids keep track of all the challenges they've completed and all the ones they have to look forward to, like building a house made of snacks and playing "Nature Bingo." So while this gift may come in a small package, it brings on big fun that any kid (and mom) will enjoy.

But here's why one buyer is obsessed: "I love how it has interesting background information and history on every cocktail, simple recipes and even tells you what kind of glass each should be served in...The back of every booklet also has a notes section where you can write down your own recipes for reference." Say no more; your wannabe mixologist will love it.

Don’t underestimate the gift of a cozy throw like this velvety lightweight blanket by Barefoot Dreams.

Coffee might have the culture in a death grip, but I’ve been pleased to start meeting more people who prefer tea—or, at least, get excited at the prospect of drinking it.

It makes enough tea for two people and the sleek glass design means it’s never out of place, no matter the surrounding decor.

We may be post-pandemic, but plenty of people I know are still very much into sourdough and general bread making. Any true nerd knows that to make a solid loaf, you need a dutch oven—and those things are anvils. Luckily, one of my favorite kitchen brands, Lekue, makes a silicone model that’s much lighter but still yields crunchy, crispy, airy, golden loaves. With a 4.5-star average rating and nearly 4,000 reviews, it’s clear they’re on to something. “This clever product has made baking everyday loaves of sourdough bread for my family even easier,” one buyer writes. “Being able to mix the dough, let it ferment and rise and bake a single loaf in one easy-to-clean container makes it practically effortless to make a loaf of really tasty bread several times a week.”

Aside from my pajama present hat trick, the other no-fail gift in my arsenal is an ESW Beauty sheet mask.

(I like combining it with either my Amiro R3 Turbo or Medicube Age-R Booster Pro to help my skin soak up all the moisture.) A single sheet mask is just $5, but you can also pick up sets, like the Raw Juice Cleanse. My favorite scent is the rose/watermelon/grapefruit combo—divine.
