This pretty blend of blooms by UrbanStems includes roses, Veronica, carnations, eucalyptus and more in varying shades of soft pink and ivory with pops of greenery. Depending on your location, these Mother’s Day flowers can be delivered the next day for you last-minute shoppers. Looking for a more rustic vibe from a company that gives back to mothers? We’re also big fans of Farmgirl Flowers’ burlap-wrapped arrangements.

Decadent Cookies She'll Savor

Editor’s Pick

Levain is renowned for its delightfully dense, oversized cookies—which, by our cookie tester’s estimation, are “supremely fudgy, gooey and gingerly toe the line of being underdone.” This set comes with the bakery’s Chocolate Chip Walnut, Dark Chocolate Chocolate Chip, Oatmeal Raisin and Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip flavors and is available in packs of four, eight or 12.

A Portable Massage Gun To Help Her Relax

Our gear editors’ favorite mini massager from Theragun delivers when it comes to relieving Mom’s sore muscles. Our tester says, “I liked its small form factor. … It was the gun’s power, however, that really blew me away.” It comes with a customizable massage head, three speeds and attachments for various effects. At only 1 pound, she’ll have no problem taking her routine on the road.

Sweet And Savory Gourmet Treats, Colorfully Presented

The maker of our absolute favorite gift baskets won’t disappoint when it comes to Mom’s big day. Just like the company’s all-year-round crowd favorites, this seasonal basket comes with a thoughtful arrangement of sweet and savory goodies—from Moose Munch caramel popcorn to buttercream-frosted flower cookies to pepper and onion relish—all packaged in a vibrant rope basket.

A Sentimental Snapshot Of Her Favorite Family Moments

What’s even better than a personalized gift? One that celebrates memories you both share. We recommend this heart-shaped photo gallery with 30 of your favorite snapshots of the family for a truly unique, sentimental gift that Mom can cherish for years to come.

A Personalized, Gorgeously Packaged Luxury Candle

USA-Made

Have Mom feeling like she’s relaxing at Flamingo Estate’s verdant villa, hidden atop the hills of Los Angeles. This extra-large candle from the luxury home brand will do the trick, thanks to its undeniably beautiful, long-lasting scent. Notes of Ionian bergamot, damask rose, pink peppercorn and white sandalwood will swirl in the background while she’s admiring the candle’s custom, handwritten label and embossed gift box.

A Monogrammed Stationary Set For Staying In Touch

If Mom is a fan of sending a handwritten note, treat her to the little luxury of custom monogrammed notecards. These are satisfyingly textured and nice and thick, so they’re sure to send a good impression to whoever receives them. “Thank You,” “Hello” and everything in between just got all the sweeter.

A Customizable Cosmetics Bag For The Frequent Traveler

MOST POPULAR

If Mom is always on the go, this is the ultimate organizer for her beauty products. We love the stylish look of this toiletry bag and the solid material to keep everything neatly tucked away. Monogram it with her initials for an extra-special touch.

Adorable Treats That Will Satisfy Her Sweet Tooth

These bite-size “Best Mom Ever” cupcakes from Baked By Melissa are the mouthwatering treat that will put a smile on her face this Mother’s Day. Flavors include original hits like Chocolate And Sprinkles, Cookie Butter Brownie and S’mores. The cupcakes come in packs of 25, 50 or 100 (we recommend getting at least the 50-count; they’re petite and they will go fast). Plus, you can add in a gift box or card if you’re shipping directly to Mom.

Premium Preserves In A Limited-Edition Gift Tin

A reusable keepsake tin packed with petite jars of gourmet fruit preserves, all for under $30—what’s not to love? (The only downside, in our opinion, is that this is a limited-edition gift that won’t be available forever). This exclusive set features nine classic and creative flavors, including Strawberry Guava, Mango Peach & Lime, Blueberry & Blackcurrant, Lemon & Yuzu and Fig Cardamom.

A Swedish Candy Mix With A Cult Following

If she hasn’t had the honor of being introduced to viral Swedish candy brand BonBon yet, you can satisfy her sweet tooth with the ultimate Mother’s Day treat. This large gift box features two pounds of the brand’s best-selling pick-and-mix favorites, wrapped up in a thematic pink box with a bow.

An Innovative Personal Beverage Chiller

No longer will she have to deal with warm wine when 5 p.m. hits. This unique wine chiller offers long-lasting temperature control without having to give up her favorite stemmed glassware.

Say Goodbye To Leftover (Garlic) Cooking Smells

If your mom is a serious home cook (and happens to love adding extra garlic to any cuisine, like we do), she’ll love this thoughtful gift. Designed by chefs, Naomi’s After-Cooking Hand Scrub is effective but gentle, neutralizing notoriously clingy smells from garlic and seafood by way of exfoliation—without stripping your skin. Plus, it’s also available in fragrances like Cardamom & Iris and Bergamot & Black Pepper.

Because Her Feet Need Pampering, Too

Vegan

Busy moms don’t always have time for self-care—particularly when it comes to their feet (as women who are always on the move on our dry, cracked heels, we relate). This handy heel repair kit from Voesh is both convenient and effective: All Mom needs to do is swipe some of the mess-free, lavender oil balm stick on target areas, slip on the included moisturizing heel socks, and she’s good to go.

Heirloom Chinese Recipes From A Mother-Daughter Duo

AAPI-Owned

Fans of Chinese cuisine or adventurous moms in the kitchen will love the sentiment behind this gift. Written by the mother-daughter duo behind the modern Chinese-American restaurant Dumpling Daughter, this cookbook is packed with authentic, homestyle recipes that have been passed down through their family’s generations. Your recipient will find dozens of lovingly compiled recipes on comfort foods, childhood favorites, signature sauces—and, yes—even those crowd-favorite gourmet dumplings.

A Personalized Necklace To Keep Family Close To Her Heart

A piece with a luxe sheen and a surprisingly accessible price tag, this customizable disc necklace from Made By Mary doesn’t skimp on quality or thoughtfulness. First, choose from three jewelry fillings: 14k gold, sterling silver or 14k rose gold. Then, customize the two discs: The top features an original design “stamp” (from birth flowers to rainbows), and the bottom disc is engraved with up to seven characters of your choice, whether it’s Mom’s special monicker or a memorable date.

Simple, Elegant And Ethically Sourced Diamond Studs

Sustainable

Looking for a solid gold keepsake or the luxurious touch of diamonds? Kinn Studio offers heirlooms that also happen to be ethically sourced and made—all in Los Angeles. These popular emerald-cut diamond studs showcase lab diamonds in a low-key prong setting made with 14k solid gold; their minimal, versatile design means Mom can wear them either casually, dressed up or stacked.

A Sweet Necklace She'll Cherish For Years To Come

For the mom who loves an understated piece of jewelry that she can layer with her other pendants, this delicate 18k yellow gold “mom” necklace by Jennifer Meyer will be her new favorite addition.

A Smart Mug To Keep Her Coffee At The Perfect Temperature

If busy mornings often leave her with cold coffee that needs to be zapped in the microwave, she’ll appreciate this Ember Smart Mug that’s designed to keep her morning brew fresh. The mug holds a consistent temperature for up to 80 minutes, or all day when kept on the included charging coaster.

A Better Way To Iron

The Nori Press is a travel-friendly iron and clothing steamer in one. And yes, it’s so much easier than lugging out a traditional iron and ironing board to get the wrinkles out of a single blouse or pair of work pants. It’s the wardrobe upgrade your mom will appreciate on laundry day and beyond.

A Fanny Pack That's Stylish, Functional And Practical

Editor’s Pick

A foolproof gift for busy moms: A stylish fanny pack that’s also spacious, durable and incredibly versatile. Wandrd’s D1 fanny pack is made of rugged, weather-resistant material, holds up to 2L and can be worn either on the hip or cross-body. The most important feature, though, is its dedicated pockets and rings—and there are lots of them: for her phone, cash, passport, keys and even a small camera. (For co-author Fran Sales, this bag comes especially handy during trips abroad.)

Actually Stylish Functional Glasses

Gives Back

Just because Mom works behind the computer all day and wants to protect her eyes doesn’t mean she can’t be stylish at the same time. Fashion-forward moms will adore Diff Eyewear’s blue light glasses, like the Bella and Bella XS. Sales gifted the latter years ago to her sister, Megan, who’s a busy single mom, and they’re still a hit. “Comfortable, trendy, super chic and stylish, I can easily keep them on all day and forget they’re there! So useful for those who work at the computer, and definitely a must-have at my work station,” she says.

Cozy Sleepwear, Monogrammed Just For Her

Luxury sleepwear is an easy choice when it comes to a Mother’s Day gift she’s sure to love. This cooling, long-sleeve pajama set from Eberjey—one of our favorite sets of women’s pajamas—is made from a temperature-regulating knit fabric that’s machine washable and offers just the right amount of coziness. For an extra $15, you can have the set monogrammed with up to six characters in any of its 19 available colors.

A Cozy Robe To Elevate Her Morning Routine

Upgrade her morning (and evening) routine with a luxurious blend of cotton and bamboo viscose spun into this soft and comfy bath robe by Cozy Earth. Available in three solid colors, as well as this chic striped print, she’ll appreciate the thoughtfulness every time she slips it on.

A Faux-Fur Blanket That Feels Like The Real Thing

Sustainable

For the ultimate homebody mom, no lounge session is complete without a cloud-like blanket to envelope herself in. UnHide’s crowd-favorite Marshmallow Blanket will get you bonus points for not only being outstandingly cozy but also 100% cruelty free while feeling like real fur. Plus, it’s available in three sizes and 12 colors.

For The Mom With The Green Thumb

For moms who love to garden year-round but don’t live in a climate that allows it, the Gardyn Home 4.0 will bring them joy 365 days a year. Using innovative technology to maximize growth and harvests, Gardyn grows the most produce in the smallest footprint. She can choose from a variety of large, tall or vining plants that typically can’t grow indoors, using zero pesticides.

Meticulously Crafted Paper Bouquets That Last Forever

Sustainable

This Mother’s Day gift explains it all in its name. Created by floral designer Liz Carter as an alternative solution to real flowers that come with the risk of going to waste, Unwilted’s paper botanical bouquets are meticulously handmade from FSC-certified sustainably sourced Italian crêpe paper and artist-designed using non-toxic ink. One of our favorite arrangements is the Peony For Your Thoughts bouquet, which is currently brightening up Sales’ living room.

Whimsical Custom Portraits Of Her Four-Legged Bestie

If she’s also a mom to a furry, four-legged friend, gift her a fanciful watercolor painting by Denver-based artist Jennifer Constantine (who also designs stationery, prints and original art). After sending her a photo of Fido, she’ll convey their personality via a portrait on premium watercolor paper using the artist’s distinctive brushwork, which melds impressionism and realism.

A Magical Depuffing Tool For The Sleep-Deprived Mom

Editor’s Pick

No matter how sleep deprived she may be, Mom will love the ability to depuff anytime, anywhere with this magical little wand. The TheraFace Depuffing Wand uses cold and heat therapy to help reduce under-eye puffiness, improve elasticity and enhance skin radiance. Plus, it only takes a matter of minutes, perfect for the busy mom who doesn’t have a ton of time to dedicate to self-care.

Travel-Friendly Eye Patches Developed By An Ophthalmologist

Sometimes Mom has to take her beauty regimen on the road. Make that a lot easier with this pack of five under-eye masks. Designed by ophthalmologist Dr. Ashley Brissette (a.k.a. Dr. B on TikTok), these masks brighten, hydrate and de-puff the under-eye skin—and unlike masks in a jar, these actually stick and stay on, so she can run errands (or between airport terminals) while making time for eye care. Make it an entire bundle, if you wish, by also adding the brand’s three-step routine.

Nourishing Body Products To Get Her Beach-Ready

Bring the beach to Mom or get her ready for an upcoming trip with Saltair’s Pink Beach Collection. She’ll find a rich body butter, a deliciously hydrating body wash (note: Sales uses and swears by the Seascape version) and a roll-on deodorant packed with skin-nourishing ingredients, all layered with fragrance notes of coconut, almond blossom and vanilla. She’ll go from envisioning her spring trip to booking it in no time with these skin treats in tow.

A Minimalist Yoga Mat In A Slip-Free Material

Editor’s Pick

The cushioned Alo Warrior Mat is generously sized and features a nonslip matte surface that will keep her from sliding around, even during rigorous and sweaty workouts. Sales, who’s been practicing yoga for over a decade (and sweats heavily), can attest that this mat is her go-to in studios heated over 90 degrees; there’s a reason she owns two. The Warrior Mat is made with a polyurethane leather upper and an ethically sourced natural rubber base, meaning it’s moisture wicking and odor resistant, as well as nontoxic and PVC free.

The Ultimate Self-Care Present

If she’s a fan of infrared saunas, she’ll love this editor-approved HigherDose blanket that delivers far infrared rays for an intense, detoxifying sweat without requiring her to leave her bedroom. Not only is it deeply relaxing, but it can also improve circulation and promote glowing skin while elevating the body’s thermal energy. Don’t forget the matching storage bag.

An All-In-One Self-Care Package

Is it truly a mom-worthy care package if it doesn’t have soothing spa and cozy comfort food items? To build this Pampering Package, choose two 32-ounce containers of soup or mac n’ cheese, six soft rolls, six cookies and a keepsake ladle—all accompanied by a terry towel wrap and headband, luxurious bathtime goodies from Barre Co., and a Mother’s Day greeting card with your personalized note. Plus, there are gluten-free and vegan options.

A Towel Warmer That Brings The Spa Home

This electric towel warmer by Zadro will supply Mom with a little moment of pampering every single day. It features a 20-liter tub that can house two 40 x 70-inch oversized bath towels, plus it has a timer for 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes, which means she can also warm up her robe and pajamas after the towels are toasty.

Whimsical But Heavy-Duty Gloves For The Green Thumb

These vibrant gardening gloves aren’t all whimsy—they’re also made with durable, supple goatskin leather, sturdy cotton canvas and heavy duty stitching to keep dirt and critters out while shielding her skin. Plus, the palms are padded and the canvas gauntlets are extra long for added protection, so the gardening mom can exercise her green thumb worry free.

An Aromatherapy Experience That Outlasts Any Candle

With its matte ceramic finish and clean organic shape, this easy-to-use stone diffuser by Vitruvi looks good enough to be left out even when not in use. It can also throw scent up to 500 square feet, has two runtimes and features an optional LED light that emits a soft glow.

A Versatile Quilted Jacket

For the woman who loves fashion, she’ll be head over heels for this versatile quilted Burberry barn jacket that can be paired just as easily with jeans and a tee as it can with more elevated ensembles.

A Does-It-All Hair Styling Tool

No matter if she has short, long, curly or fine hair, this genius styling tool by Dyson uses air to smooth, shape, style and hide flyaways without the use of damaging heat. Since it dries hair while curling or straightening it, you’ll help her look her best while saving precious time in the morning or before a night out. Even better, it can replace a handful of other styling tools and comes with a storage case for keeping everything organized.

Inspired By Japanese Tradition, With Precise Temperature Control

Editor’s Pick

For the tea-loving mom who likes to incorporate small, grounding rituals into her day, there’s arguably no better gift than Balmuda’s MoonKettle. With a modern shape that pays homage to traditional Japanese tea kettles, this stainless steel electric version features a matte exterior, a stunning, oversized (but ergonomic; we’ve tried it) handle and a precise-pouring spout. The wow-worthy part, though, is its sturdy heating base, which lets her adjust the temperature in 1-degree increments, then be alerted by an adorable tune when it’s done—so she can get her matcha just right.

A Timeless Tote That Can Fit It All

We love a tote that’s as practical as it is chic, and this one—crafted from premium double-faced leather—marries style and function. The Paloma Tote by Cuyana can hold up to a 16-inch laptop and an abundance of other essentials, while exterior and interior pockets provide ultimate organization.

A Stylish And Versatile Flat

Crafted by hand from Italian suede leather, these ballet flats from Margaux are square-toe but unstructured for the perfect mix of style and comfort. Available in classic Black Nappa or the more feisty Leopard Suede, these soft kicks will get her through her busy day looking chic, sans any blisters along the way.

Stylish, Functional Sandals With Doctor-Crafted Cushioning

Woman-Owned

If she’s headed to a beach town or summering abroad, pair her Margaux flats with an equally comfortable and versatile pair of sandals. Our recommendation: the gorgeous Islas in Black from the podiatrist-founded, woman-focused footwear brand Frankie4. The Isla sandals—and all of the company’s warm-weather offerings—feature Frankie4’s Sole Hero Footbed for extra cushioning and support.

Chic, Packing-Friendly Hats

You may have gathered by now that we’re all about blending style with functionality, and our latest obsession is Gigi Pip’s chic line of packable hats. This elegant, oversized straw bucket hat is handwoven with natural raffia, offering breathability, ample shade and a flexibility that makes it easy to stow with the rest of her travel must-haves.

The Gift Of Monthly Self-Care

There’s a reason Therabox is our number-one recommended wellness subscription for women and a favorite among Forbes Vetted readers. Choose from several pre-paid gift options, and Mom will receive a monthly box of full-sized self-care and wellness products carefully curated by therapists. After sampling a box, managing editor Emmy Favilla shares that it was filled to the brim with quality items, making it “a really solid subscription box—one that has sold out quickly in the past.”

A Monthly Flower Delivery Subscription

If a bouquet of flowers is the way to her heart, this monthly flower delivery subscription is an unexpected and unique gift that keeps on giving well after Mother’s Day comes and goes. Each delivery date is customizable for the month and features a curated bouquet of timeless flowers like roses, lilies and alstroemeria, all cut-to-order to ensure freshness.

Barista-Quality Brew For Coffee Lovers

Editor’s Pick

Now that the weather’s getting warm, it’s time to switch up Mom’s morning coffee routine. But that doesn’t have to mean resorting to watered-down iced coffee. Enter: the new cold-brew subscription from Trade, one of our coffee-testers’ favorite delivery services. She’ll get whole bean or pre-ground coffee beans, roasted to order and tested specifically for cold brewers. (These typically require more grounds per batch than hot brewers, which is why we also recommend gifting Mom the Big Bag, which makes 60 cups). The whole package comes with a free Hario Mizudashi Cold Brew Coffee Maker, too—and speaking as one of our team’s coffee aficionados, co-author Sales says the brewer is now a fixture in her fridge).

Add Some Romance Back Into Her Busy Life

Sometimes, the best gifts for moms are the most sentimental, especially if your recipient also happens to be your wife. It looks unassuming, but this creative book of 12 fold-and-mail love letters is anything but. With answers to prompts like “What I love about us…” and “I promise to you…,” this unique, thoughtful gift is one she’ll continue to revisit in years to come.

An Experience She Can Choose

Tinggly is one of our favorite experience gifts for moms and wives because it checks off the most important boxes: It’s thoughtful and unique, plus she’ll get to choose exactly what she wants to do to enjoy her “me” time, whether that’s an adventurous getaway, a gourmet food tasting or a relaxing spa stay. And we mean that—there are more than 16,000 activities across 100-plus countries to choose from. Note: Tinggly also has the more straightforward, Mother’s Day-themed “Thank You, Mom” gift box, if you have more than one mom you’re shopping for.

Classic Diamond Studs From An Eco-Friendly Brand

Sustainable

A favorite jewelry brand among Forbes Vetted editors and readers, Brilliant Earth’s ethical quality and vast selection isn’t its only appeal. To wow Mom with a classic stunner, we’re eyeing these round stud earrings, available in multiple metals, karat sizes and featuring natural or lab-grown diamonds.
