Because while she’d appreciate another bouquet of flowers, she would *really* love this vintage-y magnifying glass necklace that’ll let her read tiny labels at the store.

Flowers, chocolates, jewelry...they're classic Mother's Day gifts, but for the pragmatic mom who loves things she can really use, they might not be at the very top of her wishlist. These practical gifts are full of function, but they're not without sentimentality, like an instant camera she can use to capture the family's special moments, a gorgeous wineglass printed with her (or her children's) birth month flower, and self-heating Dr. Scholl's foot masks that might actually convince to kick her feet back and relax (for once). 

A Fujifilm Instax instant film camera so she can flex her photography skills in a retro-style format and capture family, friends, and favorite locations in instant prints — perfect for displaying on the fridge, along a wall, or at her desk so she can smile at the memories. It even has a built-in selfie mirror!

It comes with a hand strap, two AA batteries, and a one-year limited warranty. Snag some Instax Mini film so she can instantly get to snapping pics!

Promising review: "Sick instant camera. Easy to use and prints great pictures. Easy on and off button and close up. Has a selfie mirror in the front small enough. The quality of the printouts are great and has an app to download pictures. Great price point. 10/10." —Luis Mendoza Rivera

A new limited-edition Brightland x Hill House olive oil duo featuring their signature "Awake" extra-virgin olive oil with a bold, peppery flavor, plus their "Ardor" chili olive oil if she likes a kick of spice. The set comes *beautifully* packaged with two brushed gold spouts included, and of course, Hill House's pretty Poppy Damask print makes these a dream for spring. She'll want to keep them out on the counter 24/7!

A luxurious silk robe that'll make her feel like the absolute queen she is. It's made with 100% mulberry silk that's incredibly soft to the touch, and — crucially — it's MACHINE WASHABLE so that wine stain won't ruin her new prized piece. The cuffed sleeves are a practical touch, keeping them out of the way while she's washing her face or prepping an evening snack. 

I have a silk robe from Lunya that my sister-in-law got me a couple of years ago and it's hands-down the most luxurious thing I own. It's true 100% silk (like these PJs) and has the most incredible buttery soft texture to it. 

Promising review: "Makes me feel like a grown WOMAN. This to me is the ultimate robe. The sleeves/cuffs!! The design is overall functional and stylish. I do wish the waist tie was a little more ribbon-like and not a super thin tie…but honestly I’m not sure the fabric would stay and do its job holding the robe together. Everything works and is streamlined. God, it’s gorgeous." —Lyzabeth E.

Get them from Lunya for $278 (available in women's sizes XS–XL and nine styles). And check out more of their washable silk styles!

An Omaha Steaks Freezer Filler gift set — the older I get, the more I believe food really is the best gift. And funnily enough, I've been getting Omaha Steaks packages as a Christmas gift from *my* mom for the past few years, so not only can I vouch for their quality, but I can also vouch for how exciting it is to be on the receiving end. Hey, meat's expensive, so she'll definitely welcome such a practical addition to her freezer — and this set will keep her ready to host the next family BBQ at a moment's notice. Everything comes individually packaged, so she can also dig into it over time rather than having to cook all at once.

The set includes four 5-ounce butcher-cut top sirloins, four 6-ounce air-chilled boneless chicken breasts, eight 4-ounce steak burgers, four 3-ounce gourmet jumbo franks, four caramel apple tartlets (yay, dessert!), and one jar of Omaha Steaks seasoning.

Promising review: "As usual, these were a hit as a gift for friends and family, and in today’s prices, this was very reasonable with a fantastic reputation. My friend's family loved them and even invited me over for a cookout." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $99.99 (it's shipped and sold directly by Omaha Steaks).

Ole Henriksen's Pout Preserve Peptide Lip Treatment, because it's a little splurgey for a lip balm, so she might not consider snagging it for herself — but Mother's Day is a great time to treat her to little luxuries like this that'll *actually* get used. This stuff has been converting even die-hard fans of other brands like Summer Fridays, Glossier, Laneige, and more. People are obsessed with the thick, hydrating texture that actually lasts and creates a protective barrier — unlike some balms that seem to disappear after five minutes. The magic in the formula? Cloudberry oil, kokum and mango seed butters, and lip-specific peptides that nourish and make your lips look fuller.

Promising reviews: "It’s pretty thick, and usually I don’t like that, but this lip gloss is the GOAT. I will forever rebuy and I got my mom a couple for Mother’s Day — she also told me she’ll never use another lip gloss again." —PandyFackler

"I’ve been using the original tube for two months, and I’m already finishing my second tube. When I tell you I’ve been wanting to GATEKEEP because it’s sooo moisturizing and luscious and even lasts long — just everything I want out of a lip treatment, and the fact they made a TINTED version. I just had to write a review." —vcruz0513

Get it from Sephora for $22 (available in six shades and two finishes).

A bamboo tub caddy, which will motivate her to set a good hour aside for a relaxing bath and pull out all the stops: candles, a cold glass of wine, a bath bomb, and a good novel (or Netflix). It's not only size-adjustable to accommodate different tubs; it also comes equipped with a wineglass holder, edges that safely prop up a book or tablet, a candle holder, and extra space for whatever else her cozy heart desires.

Promising review: "I love this product! It’s perfect for my free-standing tub. The quality is beautiful and goes perfectly with my finishes and decor. I spend much more time in the bath now that I can safely use my iPad and phone! Best Mother’s Day gift I’ve given myself in years." —Christine Mckenna

Get it from Amazon for $24.97+ (available in six styles).

A rainbow collection of flower pots that'll brighten up her days spent in the garden this spring and summer. Perfect for placing on fences or railings, these cheery pots will give her backyard a welcoming feel, but they're just as practical for her plants, with draining holes and hooks so they're easy to water and hang. She could even color-coordinate the flowers she puts inside. 🌈 

Previously, these were only available in the 4-inch size, which some reviewers felt was too small, but they now come in a larger 6-inch size!

Promising review: "Lovely colorful flower pots. Perfect size to hold a single flower, and they add such a nice pop of color to my yard. Very easy to hang up, no hardware required! I’m getting a lot of compliments on them. I bought several sets and planted bright flowers in them. I have them lining the inside of my yard and on the front of the house. They add a lot of cheer and homeyness for a simple and cheap project." —Maegan

Get a set of 10 from Amazon for $27.99 (also available in a smaller size, and all black or all white).

A birth month flower-printed glass that's an Uncommon Goods exclusive (fun fact, the September asters were even picked right outside their offices). You can select the glass for her birthday, and/or each of her kids' birthdays — so she can subtly announce who's her favorite for the day as she sips on her chilled Chardonnay.

Promising review: "I purchased several of these for my mother-in-law as gifts, and she absolutely loves them! They are so beautifully made, great quality, and vivid colors. I am going to start a collection for myself soon because I love them so much!" —Katie

Get it from Uncommon Goods for $26 (available in 12 options)

A Saie Glowy Super Gel Mini Trio — this all-over face illuminator will have her positively ✨ glowing ✨ all summer and beyond. This set comes with three shades that look stunning on all skin tones, so she can switch it up based on the day. There's no chunky glitter or outright sparkle; it just gives that glowy "glass skin" effect that enhances her natural beauty. *And* it's hydrating thanks to glycerin and squalane in the formula. A ton of reviewers with mature skin say it doesn't settle into lines or cling to dry patches! 

Promising review: "Every once in a blue moon you come across a product that absolutely changes your life. This is one of those products. I have purchased this so many times I’ve lost count. I always make sure to reorder ahead of time when I know I’m going to be running out soon. It’s so lightweight, so moisturizing, adds a luminosity to the skin that looks natural and radiant without being glittery and obvious and without looking oily/greasy. I’ll put this on real quick just to run errands on no makeup days and forget that I even applied it and five hours later someone will compliment my skin when I’m at the grocery store. I’m 41. People just don’t stop and compliment my skin, lol. Buy it, play with it, love it. It’s gone viral for a reason." —TickTockAlice 

A vintage-inspired magnifying glass necklace that'll come in clutch when she's trying to read a tiny label at the store and doesn't have her reading glasses on hand. Reviewers say it does a great job of magnifying text without distorting it.

Promising reviews: "Exactly as described and works great! I work in a greenhouse and often have to inspect plants for tiny pests. This magnifier has the size and clarity I need to get up close and in small spaces. It is attractive enough to wear as a necklace, and I have received several compliments and questions as to where I got it when I was working." —Elisabeth Finstad

"I got this for my mom, who has macular degeneration. She was delighted! Now she has a magnifying glass she can wear all the time that is pretty." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in three colors).

A stainless-steel wine chiller that'll keep her rosé, chardonnay, or sparkling wine perfectly chilled while lounging in the park or by the pool — because she deserves better than sipping from a warm drink (ugh).

It fits most 750-ml wine bottles and features a double-walled, vacuum-insulated design to keep the wine chilled for hours!

Promising review: "Would make a beautiful gift for a wine lover and I suspect our friends will be wanting one once they see us serving in ours. Really keeps white wine and champagne nice and cold. Every bottle we’ve tried so far has fit just fine as the top adjusts to the height of the bottle. Very, very pleased!" —Sherri

Get it from Amazon for $89.95 (available in 13 colors). 

A pack of Touchland Power Mists, which are a cute, luxurious-feeling upgrade over that bottle of Germ-X that stays packed in her bag. Just a spritz of this sanitizer will help keep her hands clean and fresh (not to mention hydrated, thanks to aloe vera and essential oils in the formula). I've started using these myself and absolutely love how lightweight and fast-drying the mist is — it doesn't leave you with that goopy feeling like regular hand sani briefly does. Plus, they sell cute cases for these, which I would recommend snagging so she can clip one to her bag!

They also do collabs — you can snag a Hello Kitty version with a case or a Mickey Mouse version if she's into Disney.

Promising review: "I love these hand sanitizers and I keep repurchasing! The scents are lovely and it feels good on your hands while also making your hands feel clean. The travel spray is convenient and easy to use and carry in any bag. Whenever I have these people are always wanting to borrow!" —Sarah Balch

Get a pack of three from Amazon for $30 (available in various scent combos and in packs of five).

A shiatsu neck and back massager that looks like pure bliss, and at a fraction of the cost of a professional massage. If she constantly talks about her neck and shoulders aching, she deserves this! This has eight deep-kneading nodes with three speed strengths and optional heat. As shown above, she can loop her arms through to hold it in place and even do other things like typing on a computer.

Promising review: "My pic [above, left] says it alI, so helpful. I already had a back shiatsu massager for years, but could not reach the areas around my shoulder blades and my neck, and for my nanny work, I get so achy. This thing was all I needed. I only expected the knobs and the heat, but you can attach it on you and do computer work as well as driving; it has an attachment to get the power in your car... LOVE LOVE this thing. I was in severe pain and tried everything. This was my missing link, lol. Feels like a human massage but you can control it." —Marinchich

Get it from Amazon for $33.05+ (available in four colors). 

Self-heating Dr. Scholl's foot masks if her sore, aching feet are in dire need of some TLC because she's on her feet *all* day. Made with Epsom salts, lavender, and peppermint, these deeply penetrating masks will warm and relax her tired feet, leaving them moisturized afterward, thanks to the soothing shea butter.

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says, "I'm a long-ish distance runner, and these were certainly an interesting experience for my feet! You slide them on and, after a few minutes, feel a tingling, mildly burning (in a good way) sensation. It doesn't quite numb your feet, but it relaxes them. I kept them on for 30 minutes and then toweled my feet off, and the tingling sensation slowly faded over the next 30 minutes. After that my feet felt very refreshed and relaxed at a time of day when they're usually aching from all the miles I put in. The whole thing was a mess-free, easy process, and I will definitely keep them on hand for longer run days!" 

Promising review: "Very soothing. My husband and l used these on our European vacation, and they definitely felt good on our feet!" —KS2018

Get a set of three pairs from Amazon for $11.97. 

A cheeky baseball cap sporting an embroidered message she can point to anytime one of the kids (or grown adults in the family) asks her what's for dinner. It has an adjustable strap to fit most head types and a soft, relaxed fit that one reviewer describes as feeling "broken in but not floppy." 

Inside Joke is a small, family-run business that creates embroidered and printed essentials with designs that'll make you chuckle (seriously, go check out the full shop).

Promising review: "My new go-to mom hat. Fits great even with my big messy bun. The embroidery looks really clean and hasn’t frayed after a few wears. Strap is easy to adjust." —Alison

Get it from Inside Joke for $32 (available in four colors).

A luxurious pair of Beckham Hotel Collection pillows in case it's been a while since she invested in new ones — honestly, there's no better gift than an upgrade for her sleep situation (and lord knows she really needs a good eight hours of sleep when she can get it). These cloud-like pillows are filled with plush gel fiber that provides just the right amount of support. Psst — I personally sleep on these and looooove them. (Oh, and did I mention they have over 170,000 5-star ratings?? So it's not just me.)

Promising review: "I was just looking at these pillows again in case I had to purchase new ones. I originally purchased them two years ago. They are the most wonderful and comfy pillows I've ever had. When I read the reviews saying they washed up badly, I was ready to buy new ones. Lo and behold, I washed them and dried them in the dryer, and they turned out great. I just have the older type stackable washer and dryer set, not large, just regular sized. I put both pillows in the washer on gentle, then put both pillows in the dryer. I ran the dryer on medium heat and ran the cycle several times, just to make sure. I'm happy they turned out so well 'cause I love these pillows!" —T. Rune

Get a set of two from Amazon for $59.99 (available in three sizes: standard/queen, king, or European throw). 

A pair of Bombas Friday Sandals she can practically live in during the warmer months, slipping them on with or without socks when she wants to lounge on the patio, relax on the beach, walk the dog, or run some errands. Many reviewers say these are like "walking on clouds" and that they've helped reduce their foot pain. 

BTW, I highly recommend Bombas if you're ever looking to gift high-quality socks or slippers — I got my own mom their fuzzy Sunday Slippers for Christmas a few years back, and she loved them.

Promising reviews: "I have several pair of Birkenstocks and wanted another comfortable sandal. These by far are more comfortable than my Birkenstocks. I’m so happy I bought them in two colors. I might even get some more colors." —Shelly G.

"Planning on taking these shoes on a cruise. They are comfy and should stay on well even when wet due to the textured grippy sole." —Kelley H.

Get them from Bombas for $50 (available in women's sizes 5–11 and nine colors).

An Ember mug if she's constantly pouring herself a hot mug of coffee or tea, then forgetting it while she chases around the kids or gets busy with work on the computer. When she comes back to it, it'll still be toasty warm, so she can finally enjoy her favorite hot bevy on her own schedule.

This fancy mug connects to an app so she can control the temperature of her drink. It's not meant for heating but rather maintaining a hot temperature for an extended period of time.

Promising review: "I absolutely love this cup! I play video games and watch movies on the weekend for a few hours of entertainment. And this cup delivers a perfect cup of hot coffee throughout my gaming sessions even with my fans blowing in my face. I now must have this cup for life. I love coffee, and it tastes even better in this cup because the coffee is consistently hot. It is simply fantastic!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $119.99+ (available in six colors and two sizes). 

A stack of books–shaped ceramic planter — this ~novel~ design will delight any literary-minded mom. She can use it as an actual planter (there's a drainage hole!) or fill it with real or fake flowers; either way, it'll be a stunning conversation starter for her home or office desk. (Psst — if she's someone who can recite Darcy's entire love confession from memory, she might prefer the Jane Austen–specific version!) 

BTW, reviewers note that this comes with a sticker on it that's hard to remove, so you might need a sticker remover kit. 

Steel Mill & Co is a small business that sells cute stationery. 

Promising review: "This was exactly what my coffee bar needed to give it a little piece of my personality! It’s so beautiful and the perfect size!" —Amazon Customer

A high-quality, extra-cushioned Lululemon yoga mat worth treating her to whether she's a longtime yogi or just starting out. 

I have a very similar Lululemon yoga mat that I absolutely love! I use it for all of my indoor workouts, including mat pilates. It's far more comfortable than performing moves directly on carpet (and certainly hard floors) and offers really nice padding for your knees and hands when you're down there doing a cat-cow pose. Its rubber base keeps it from slipping around too. It's super easy to clean with just a damp rag after a particularly sweaty session and dries fairly fast, after which point you can just roll it up and stash it in a corner or closet. Aside from its functionality, I adore how pretty it is, especially the colorful pastel swirl designs.

Get it from Lululemon for $118 (available in five colors and one size, which is 71x26 inches). 

A heart-shaped galvanized raised planter bed here to bring a heavy dose of cuteness to her garden — just imagine how darling her marigolds and daffodils will look sprouting up in that sunshine yellow one! Assembly doesn't require any tools, just about 20 minutes of her time...so maybe offer to help set it up as part of the gift. 😉

Note: The reviewer (above, left) ordered silver and painted them the exact colors they wanted, since the shade range was more limited when they purchased.

Promising review: "This was so easy to put together! It's awesome, looks exactly as pictured. It had great instructions and took me like 20 minutes to put it together. I was super impressed with the quality and how easy the whole thing has been. I highly recommend." —Bernadette Felice

Get it from Amazon for $45.97+ (available in nine colors).

A sweet corner bookmark with seasonal-inspired embroidery and a stitched initial, so you can select one based on her name and favorite season. It's a small but thoughtful gift to let the book-obsessed mom know you support her passion!

Promising review: "Very pretty! Gave as a gift to my grandmother and she loves it!" —Ivy Pugliese

Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in a variety of designs and all 26 letters). 

A foldable nonslip stone bath mat as a replacement for that old bath mat she's been using for far too long. It's made from diatomaceous earth, which means it basically absorbs water and dries in seconds, almost like it's pulling the water off your feet when you step on it — seriously, this will be a luxe bathroom upgrade she probably didn't know she needed. I love this particular style because it's not just a giant slab like the others I've seen — it has a neat color gradient and folds up for storage!

Promising review: "Two weeks ago, I didn’t even know stone bath mats existed! But wow! What a game changer! I’m one of those people who avoid my cloth bath mat when it’s wet. Because eww! Now, I can take a shower right after my husband and not have to worry about stepping on a wet bath mat. The stone absorbs the water so fast! Can’t wait to upgrade my other bathroom mats." —Angela

A faaaancy automatic spice grinder with the coolest design. To use, she'll swap in interchangeable pods filled with spices for grinding directly into food — especially helpful when the recipe calls for a *lot* of pepper. It'll give her that freshly ground flavor that tastes way better than out of the shaker!

This uses AA batteries (not included), so snag some if needed!

Promising review: "I'm so glad I ordered one of these after I read about them on Oprah's list of favorite things. As billed, it's so attractive and can sit on your counter, so easy, the charge lasts so long, and the interchangeable pods rock! It's easy to add freshly ground flavor, and fresh pepper is sooo much better than from the shaker. It's so easy to adjust the grind, and the color selection is fantastic. I love mine." —Sasha

Get it from Amazon for $56.66+ (available in nine colors, including three styles; comes with the grinder and two interchangeable pods).

A statement checkered cutting board she'll get use out of on the daily if she's always chopping it up in the kitchen, and it doubles as a striking charcuterie board for her future hosting endeavors. It's made of real wood and has built-in carrying handles, plus a clever groove around the edges that helps catch any excess juices.

Promising review: "I am OBSESSED with this cutting board. It is made so well and looks so expensive. Every time I have guests, I will use it as serving tray or display for charcuterie and I always get compliments on it." —Lorrin Farrell

A question a day journal for the busy mom who's into the idea of journaling, but never quite found the time (or energy) to make it part of her schedule. This gives her just one question each day over a full year (which then repeats), and after five years (!) she'll be able to look back at all of her answers and consider how her thoughts and feelings and evolved over time. 

You can check out BuzzFeed's Q&A a Day: 5-Year Journal review for more on why we love it!

Promising review: "Love this little book! I'm a busy mom, so doing any kind of full-on journaling is just not an option for me, but this little book is the perfect approach for someone who enjoys the idea of documenting life but is so busy living it they can't spend a lot of time! I love the design of the book, very beautifully done and I especially love that the pages are in the thicker side. Not cheaply made at all. My daughters both have requested one of their own, now!" —Alden Stowe

A newly released BrüMate Era Flip 40-ounce tumbler that'll actually help her remember to hydrate, and it's designed with hygiene in mind. The stainless steel straw slides down when not in use so it's not ~exposed~ to people (including kids) coughing and sneezing all around her. It keeps drinks ice-cold for over 24 hours, AND it's totally leakproof — my colleague (and mom to two toddlers) Heather Braga has personally tested this! She says:

"I've been testing this water bottle out and, well, I love it SO much I've been tempted to gatekeep it so I can buy it in more colors. It keeps my water cold overnight, I'm obsessed with the vibrant color, and it's easy to slide the straw under to keep it germ-free. I've gotten a bunch of compliments while walking around my neighborhood with it. Big fan!!"

Get the 40-ounce size from Amazon for $47.99+ (available 30- or 40-ounce sizes and 11 colors).

A glass mosaic bird feeder if she also considers the local bird community her "children." This gorgeous piece has a fly-through design so her avian friends can easily access their daily snack. One reviewer even had a bird lay eggs in theirs. 🥺

Promising review: "Beautiful design with fun colors, durable and stable cord, easy to clean. Perfect for smaller birds but it attracts a lot." —Mely

Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in nine colors).

A customized rubber stamp so she can place her personal mark on her new and well-worn books to help her library feel specially curated. It also means that friend from book club will remember *exactly* where to return that novel after they're done borrowing it.

Paper Peach Shop is a woman-owned small business based in Indianapolis, Indiana! They specialize in all sorts of gorgeous planners, stamps, guestbooks, and more.

Promising review: "I absolutely love this stamp!!! It is high quality, looks fantastic when applied inside my books. This stamp looks exactly like the picture and even better when applied to the paper." —Reva

Get it from Paper Peach Shop on Etsy for $6.39+ (originally $7.99+; available in four stamp types and 14 ink colors). 

A couch arm table made of acacia wood, so it won't clash with her living room aesthetic. It has a built-in cup holder (so no accidental spills), a phone holder to prevent her device from disappearing into the couch again, and a spring load clip that secures it to the couch arm without any wobbling. Whether she's catching up on her favorite Netflix show or chilling with a cup of tea and her Kindle, this'll become her favorite "me time" accessory.

Promising review: "This has exceeded my expectations! The shelf seems well-made and feels sturdy, with plenty of compression to hold it in place. The wood is very pretty, and the cup and phone holder work well. It’s the perfect size — not too big and bulky, while large enough to be functional! I am buying two more for my daughter. GREAT product!" —Amazon Customer

Get from Amazon for $31.44+ (available in seven styles).

A heated eye massager that'll become a crucial part of her end-of-day wind-down routine. It delivers soothing heat and rhythmic compression that can help if her eyes are tired from staring at a screen all day, and it can help calm her body and mind before bedtime if she has trouble sleeping. It can also connect to her phone via Bluetooth so she can listen to music, podcasts, or white noise if she likes.  

Heads up: This product isn't recommended for people with eye conditions like cataracts or glaucoma or who have recently undergone eye surgery.

My colleague Heather Braga vouches for this massager: "I was so excited to finally try it out myself, and I wasn't disappointed! It's a little louder than I thought it would be (as the air compresses in and out to relieve tension), but once I put music on with it, I didn't notice the noise anymore. I've been using it to relax my eyes after a long day of working on screens *and* parenting. I also break it out when I have sinus pain, and it's been really helpful in easing that pain. Consider me a fan! 

Get it from Amazon for $59.99 (available in 14 styles, including three models).

A pair of gauntlet gloves that are totally thornproof so mom stays protected from prickly plants and brambles while weeding and trimming in the yard. The faux leather cuffs extend up the forearms for more coverage, with extra padding in the palms and fingertips that doesn't restrict movement. BTW, these run small so check the size chart or size up if you're not sure!

Promising review: "These long garden gloves are perfect for working with thorny plants. The extended length covers your forearms, making it easy to reach deep into bushes or trees without getting scratched. They’ve been especially great for picking fruit from the back of my lemon tree. Durable, comfortable, and very practical." —Murphy

Get it from Amazon for $16.80+ (available in five sizes and 19 colors).

A Stanley All Day Julienne soft cooler bag, a stylish and compact portable cooler she can sling over her shoulder on the way to the park, beach, campgrounds, or even an outdoor concert (like the reviewer below). It holds up to 10 cans, or any small meals and snacks she wants to pack for the day. If "always stay prepared" is her motto, now she really can be!

Promising review: "I'm not one to write reviews; however, this small cooler/lunch box deserves one. This small cooler is totally worth paying the extra money. I filled it up with sushi rolls for a concert, and it stayed very cold for over 10 hours. The cold packs I placed inside were still frozen after all that time! It is also roomy, a nice soft material, and very stylish, and the shoulder strap option makes it more functional. I love it!" —Leticia Hampton

Get it from Amazon for $79.97+ (available in 21 colors and three sizes).

A pack of 23 Facetory sheet masks packed with all sorts of skin-friendly ingredients, from soothing rice bran extracts and brightening lemon to detoxifying charcoal and plumping collagen. She'll feel so luxurious having this many ~options~ to choose from when her skin needs a pick-me-up, and the positively adorable packaging is just the cherry on top. ✨

Facetory is a Korean brand that launched in 2016, and all of their products are made in Korea. The masks are also cruelty free and free of sulfates, parabens, fragrances, and synthetic colors. 

I've bought this face mask collection myself and absolutely love it. Each one has a few key benefits, which are detailed on the back along with the main ingredients (plus a super cute illustration with directions on how to use, in case you've never used sheet masks before). I leave each mask on for ~15 minutes, then pat the remaining product into my skin until it absorbs completely, and follow with a moisturizer to lock it all in. 

Get the variety pack from Amazon for $34.50 (also available in other packs). 

An ultra-slim Anker power bank to keep her phone juiced up so you can always contact her when you need to, and vice versa. This isn't one of those bulky power bricks that are a pain to lug around; this slim charger attaches magnetically for fast, unobtrusive charging. (For a frame of reference, it can charge a dead iPhone 17 to 25% in half an hour.) 

This is meant for iPhones — if she's rocking an Android (like me), you can always get her a MagSafe conversion kit so she can use power banks like this.

Promising review: "I love this portable charger. It's so convenient to carry in my purse and very useful. I have yet to use it to charge a completely dead phone, but I used it to charge it when it was less than 20%. It charged my phone to halfway in about six minutes. The added bonus of the slimness is awesome; it feels great in my hands. It doesn't overheat. I am very happy with it." —Emily

Get it from Amazon for $45.99 (available in five colors).

A ~berry cute~ strawberry candle warmer lamp that might be one of the most darling iterations of this product I've seen to date. It's a great option if you don't want to get her *another* candle and instead want to help her get the most of the candles she already has. This warmer's heat will slowly melt a candle as if it were lit, releasing its delicious aroma into the air without any of the hazards of an open flame. It's also just a gorgeous lamp with a design that's perfect for spring and summer. 

Promising review: "I’d never used a candle warmer before but now I’m definitely a fan. This is super charming, and has timers so you don’t burn your house down. Nice!" —Superheroresin

A gold decorative mirror she can hang or even use as a tray to elegantly display jewelry, perfume, or decor on her vanity or dresser. This low-key looks like something out of Beauty and the Beast and I'm here for it.

Promising review: "I am forever in love with this! Very aesthetically pleasing!! Mirror hasn’t scratched and adds some *spice* to my perfume collection." —Morgan Newbanks

Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in three colors). 

A beautiful S'well stainless-steel salad bowl with a leakproof lid so she can shake her salads instead of tediously mixing them. It also has a removable tray for stashing ingredients she might want to add at the last second, plus a closable mini canister that can hold her salad dressing. One reviewer also notes that the lid is very easy to take off and put on, a pro for their 98-year-old mom with arthritis. 

Promising review: "What a beautiful, durable travel bowl! I love being able to take my foods with me. This bowl works well for salads and cold mixes. It works equally well for soups, noodles and hot dishes. The seals are good. The interior shelf can be used as is, or removed for more overall capacity. I don't use the community fridge (it's gross), so this stays in my bag. It keeps my food warm or cold for the few hours needed. I get compliments on it all the time. Go for it!" —Lmaxx

Get it from Amazon for $40 (available in 15 designs).

A luxuriously soft pashmina shawl wrap if she always runs cold — this stylish shawl makes for a cozy extra layer she can use at home or while out and about. One mom even wore it over their dress to their daughter's wedding! And the design makes it hassle-free to throw on: Just pull the end through the slot in the front to secure it.

Promising review: "This is a very beautiful shawl. I got it for my grandma and she felt so cute and warm in it! The color was exactly as pictured, and the price was really good for the quality." —Rebecca

"This shawl is the best!!! It feels so comfortable on and is soooo soft! I ordered khaki and black. I may have to go back and order the white as well. It will be perfect at the movies, on a plane, at the mall, or in a store when you don't want to wear your jacket, dressed up with a little dress when you need a little something for warmth or style!! Love that you don’t have to tie it and make it too bulky, you just slip the end through the slot and it fits perfectly!!" —Nana Beth

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in eight colors). 

A wine decanter designed to aerate wine and release its natural aromas for an even better taste, so she can appreciate her favorite merlot on a whole new level. It's also just a stunning piece of glassware she'll happily welcome into her collection.

Promising reviews: "I bought this as a Christmas gift for my mom and she absolutely loved it! You can see the quality craftsmanship immediately after taking it out of the box." —Jack Evans

"My family loves this decanter. It improves the taste of all kinds of wines and looks very nice when displayed. It is much cheaper than many $100 or $200 decanters, while looking and working just as nicely. While these can be a bit tricky to clean, I've been using a quick trick to make it look like new! 1) Rinse with warm water (if you have time, let it soak for an hour). 2) Fill about 1 centimeter with salt and add 2 centimeters of white wine vinegar. 3) Swirl the solution and CAREFULLY shake if stains are higher up. 4) Rinse with warm water. That should get your decanter ready for the next bottle! Hope this helps!" —Jackson L.

A Mau luxury cat tree for the cat mom who dotes on her beloved felines, but also cares about maintaining her carefully curated home aesthetic. Mau cat trees are beautifully crafted by hand using real tree branches, and all the parts are replaceable for when her cats inevitably wear them down over time, including that sisal rope they'll want to unleash their claws on. I personally own a Mau cat tree, and not only does it look great in person, but my cats are obsessed with it.

This safely supports several cats up to 15 pounds.

Promising review: "This is a beautiful piece of furniture that I personally love looking at in our living room. I love it so much I thought that even if the cats didn't like it, it would still be great to have as a decorative piece. However, the cats (especially our smaller, young cat) love sitting on the top level and playing with the rope! Gorgeous design, as are all Mau products, and functional. I love this purchase for our cats and for us!" —Beth S.

Get it from Amazon or direct from Mau for $189 (available in three colors, between the two storefronts).

A ~dreamy~ pair of Eberjey pajamas that'll make bedtime her favorite time of day (if it's not already). They're a throwback Oprah's Favorite Things pick *and* beloved by several of our editors, and they're worth the splurge. They're made with this incredible temperature-regulating fabric that's buttery soft and breathable enough for year-round wear (though if she prefers to sleep in shorts, Eberjey sells these in other styles). She'll be wrapped up in bed feeling like the coziest cinnamon roll, all thanks to you.

Here's what my colleague Melanie Aman says: "I am not lying when I say that they are truly the comfiest pajamas that I own, hands-down. I've contemplated buying a pair for every day of the week because there's a period of the year, usually around early November until spring, when these are glued to my body, only to be removed for laundry day, and then they go straight back on me. The weight is nice (decently heavy without being too hot), and the fabric is incredibly soft and offers a fantastic stretch, so I can pretzel my body on the couch to get comfy for an all-day movie marathon without feeling like my pajamas are constricting me. These pajamas will ruin all other pajamas for you because nothing else will feel as comfy and cozy." 

Promising review: "Soft, very comfortable, and they look good! I love that they wash and dry well and leave almost no wrinkles coming out of the dryer! Best pajamas I’ve ever bought!" —Lynn W. 

Get them from Eberjey for $158 (available in women's sizes XXS–XXL and 23 colors).

A gorgeously designed Hatch Restore 3, the new-and-improved version of TikTok's favorite sunrise alarm clock. This beauty will gently wind her down at night and wake her up just as gently with its soft glow and gentle sounds. It also functions as a touch-controlled smart light and bedside lamp! 

The Hatch lets her personalize a "bedtime routine" each night to train her brain to recognize sleep cues and get a better night's rest. Options include changing the light settings to more amber tones to help produce melatonin for sleep, soothing noise options, and sleep meditations and sleep stories available in the Hatch app.

Promising review: "I’ve been using the Hatch 3 for a few weeks now, and I must say, it has completely transformed my mornings. The customizable sounds and soothing noise options create such a calming, peaceful atmosphere that makes waking up feel like a pleasant experience rather than a jarring event. I’ve found myself waking up feeling more relaxed, with the gradual transition from soft sounds to more lively tones gently guiding me out of sleep. The app is another great bonus. It allows for full customization of the wake-up and wind-down routines, so I can set the tone of my day from the moment I wake up to when I’m getting ready for bed. The soft, warm light feature is also fantastic. It mimics the sunrise, gradually brightening the room and helping to regulate my circadian rhythm. Overall, the Hatch 3 is not just a smart alarm clock; it’s an experience." —Nate

A set of Rifle Paper Co. compression packing cubes for the budget-savvy mom who is *determined* to travel with just a carry-on and avoid those checked bag fees. This stylish trio will help her maximize her suitcase space and organize her travel items so she can level up her jetsetting routine. The set includes three different-sized cubes (large, medium, and small), plus a matching drawstring laundry bag.

Promising reviews: "Great quality. This was a gift for my mom and she loved them." —SLK

"Like everything Rifle makes, these are high quality and beautiful. The matching cosmetic case stacks perfectly on top of the medium sized cube." —Cathy

A customizable sweatshirt with a stylish look for grandma (or mom), because this fickle spring weather can change at a moment's notice and she needs cute, comfy, and *versatile* extra layers to throw on while at the park or grocery store. It's 70% cotton with ribbed cuffs, and you can even put custom text on the sleeve! (Yes, it's literally wearing her heart on her sleeve.) Psst — check out this year's full Mother's Day collection, because it's sooooo cute.

Heather says, "I have many sweatshirts from BFFs and Babes, a woman-owned small business, and I simply adore them — I've purchased so many as gifts as well! The sweatshirts are super cozy and don't run in the wash (thankfully). I got my mom (pictured above, right) this sweatshirt for Mother's Day two years, right after her second grandchild was born. I have to order another this year now that my sister has a baby! Anyways, she loves it, lives in it, and claims it's one of her favorite items."

Promising review (for the "Mama" sweatshirt): "Super obsessed with this cozy, personalized mama sweatshirt. I was worried it might be low quality but I’m really happy with it. I also got my mom a Nana version for Mother’s Day and I know she’s going to love it!" —Alexandra C Cummings

Get it from BFFs and Babes for $75 (available in unisex sizes S–2XL, four colors, and in aunt, mama, and fur mom styles).
