Editor Favorites:

For The Trend-Setting Mom

Here’s to every mom that somehow manages to not only get dressed everyday, but inspire everyone around her to do the same.

1. Birthstone Necklace

Etsy is the perfect place to get something personalized. A birthstone necklace is thoughtful, personal and a true keepsake for any mother. This particular birthstone necklace comes in multiple finishes, and it’s easy to add on to. You can add up to eight different birthstones on this one necklace.

This personalized gift could also be the birthstones of your mother’s parents or even your mother, father and all of your siblings. Just make sure you remember everyone’s birth month! That would be a very embarrassing question to ask a family member.

2. Starling Loafers

If mom loves style and comfort, she’ll love the Starling Loafers from Birdies. These aren’t your average bedroom slippers. These slip-on flats are ready to be worn on the street, yet they’re so comfy mom will want to wear them around the house too.

In addition to memory foam insoles and incredible arch and heel support, these slippers are detailed with a quilted satin lining, making them super chic inside and out.

3. Kiehl’s Restful Radiance Skincare Set

4. Viktor&Rolf Flowerbomb Travel Size Perfume

What woman doesn’t want to smell like luxury? The answer is none. The Viktor&Rolf Flowerbomb Travel Size Perfume is a pretty pink garden party in a bottle.

She can toss it in a handbag or a travel bag without having to worry about spills or leaks.

5. Zizzon 18-in-1 Professional Manicure and Pedicure Set

It comes in a cute leather travel case and features all of the tools that she needs to get a beautiful set of nails at home. Even better, it’s affordable for those of you on a budget.

If you have a bit more cash to splurge and a mom who loves all things beauty, you can gift her this much-coveted Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer. It’s the one you’ve likely heard of for years now and a must-have for any true haircare fanatic. Lightweight, useful for all hair types and designed to last for years, it’s one tool she needs at her vanity, stat.

7. Custom Leather Coin Purse

This adorable and highly reviewed leather coin purse is custom made to match your child’s art work. It’s the perfect way to let Mom take a piece of her heart with her wherever she goes.

For The Homemaking Mom

Whether your mom matches every handtowel to the season or she maintains a more eclectic style, these gifts are great for the mom that can somehow make any house a home.

8. Thank You, Mom Candle

You can never have enough candles. Homesick makes a candle for just about any occasion, and that includes Mother’s Day! This natural soy candle is bound to make mom happy. With notes of bergamot, ylang ylang and lily, the whole family will feel relaxed.

But, if you are more the DIY type, you can always use those scents and make your own candles together.

If mom isn’t a candle lover, or lives in a warmer climate but likes her space to smell nice, you can always snag her a diffuser with specific essential oils.

9. Nixplay Smart Digital Picture Frame

Whether you live at home, down the block or hundreds of miles away, moms always want to see their loved ones beautiful faces. And grandmothers want to see their grandkids all the time! With a digital picture frame, you can sync up with the whole family to send mom pictures.

It works with iPhones, Androids, Google Photos, Dropbox, Facebook and more, so you really have no more excuses for not sending mom pics.

10. Family Pebble Portrait

Looking for a one-of-a-kind gift? The Family Pebble Portrait is the ultimate gift for the sentimental mom.

Handcrafted from pebbles, bits of wood, seashells and other natural materials, you can depict your entire family through tiny natural elements. She can hang it in the living room or prop it up on her desk so she can enjoy some family-inspired motivation while she works.

11. Love Lives Here Map Pillow

Does mom have kids scattered across the country? This Love Lives Here Map pillow will remind her she has love coming from every direction. You can add up to 8 different hearts to include the entire family. 

If you have family in Hawaii, Alaska or abroad, you can add that to the pillow as well. Remind mama she is loved even if you live hundreds of miles away!

12. A Bouquet from UrbanStems

Sending your mom a bouquet from UrbanStems makes for an incredibly easy and thoughtful gift, no matter how far apart you may be. You can send a stand-alone bouquet or a flower subscription. Plus, the shopping options are nearly endless. 

Choose from bouquets that are less than $45 or more elaborate options that cost $100 and more. You can shop by color which is great for those of you who know your mom loves a certain hue. Also, you can pick bouquets that come with extra gifts, like a set of bath bombs.

For The New Mom

Shout out to all the new moms that are running on 4 hours of sleep and still somehow holding the weight of their family’s world. These gifts are great for moms rocking babies, whether its their first or their 5th.

13. 24/7 Nursing Bra 

While this really only makes sense for new moms. A great nursing bra is worth a million bucks. The 24/7 nursing bra from Third Love is made out of Pima cotton and incredibly soft. It looks like a regular bra, but has drop down straps for nursing or pumping; triple win for new mamas.

The new design will give her some momfidence is whatever she is tackling. Plus, with the tagless design, memory foam cups and pleated no slip straps, she might even forget she is wearing a bra!

For The Working Mom

Here are some great gifts for the multitasking master.

28. Ember Smart Mug 

Moms are always running around helping others, which means their coffee (or tea) is constantly lukewarm or cold when they remember to drink it. Keep mama happy with a warm drink.

The Ember Smart Mug is not your typical lame coffee mug gift. She can program her mug from an app on her phone to the perfect temperature, so it is ready for her whenever she finally sits down to drink it.

30. It Was Never A Dress Mug

Show Mom you see how hard she works with this color-changing mug. She’ll start the day off with a classic female stick figure. A cup of coffee later, her true identity is revealed!

31. Gisele Pajamas

There’s nothing better than coming home from a long day of work and sliding into some comfy pajamas.

A favorite with moms of all ages, they’re super-comfortable and come in a range of sizes and different colors. They’re classy, classic and a sure winner.

33. The Milk Bar Sampler

Satisfy your mom’s sweet tooth for all things baked, but without actually doing any baking on your own. After all those cookies she’s made for you over the years, she deserves some cookies all to herself.

Each of them is packaged separately and can be stored in her desk for those much needed pick-me-ups.

34. Immortal Fleur 12 Pink Preserved Rose Box
