Mother’s Day is almost here. It’s a sacred occasion to celebrate the remarkable women who have sculpted our lives and moms we adore (whether you’re celebrating your wife, sister, or friend). It's a day marked by charming brunches and heartfelt gifts, yet the quest for the perfect token of appreciation can often prove daunting (how can we consistently find unique and sweet gifts year after year?!)
Amidst the whirlwind of good sentiment, it’s hard to stand out from it all. What gift should you give her this year that shows you truly care and that you “see” her? Consider these factors: What does she need, want, or would love but didn’t even know she needed it? Mother’s Day is all about crafting the ultimate gift idea that she’ll cherish for years to come, prompting her to think: “This person gets me.” Remind her that amidst the chaos of parenthood, she deserves the entire family she has created, and you all appreciate her.
So, as you embark on this journey of gratitude and affection for moms, remember: the essence of Mother’s Day lies not in a single moment but in the enduring love and appreciation we should show every day. This gift is just a starting point for the rest of the year. (And if you are the mom, then consider these products as self-gifts.)
1Best for Breakfast Shortcuts
This mini griddle is ideal for the perfect grilled cheese sandwich, omelette, pancake, and so much more! The options are endless, and Mom will adore playing around with the different recipes she can make, miniature-style.
2Best for Moms Who Mix Comfort and Style
Credit: SoftiesYou may want to buy two of these Marshmallow Hooded Loungers — one for you and one for Mom. It’s made out of a heather melange fabric blend (which has some stretch!) that feels as cozy as it looks. We love its flattering neckline, convenient kangaroo pocket, and playful hood. Stylish and comfortable, Mom can use it while lounging at home.
Pick from several colors and sizes XS to 3X.

4Best for Wordsmiths
Credit: AnthropologieMom’s definitely never had a board game like this before. This elegant version of Scrabble is one to keep in the family for decades to come. Add it to her collection and use it for game nights or even as decoration on any coffee table.
And if your mom isn’t much of a word game junkie, a Monopoly version also exists.
5For the Mom With a Sense of Humor
Credit: CaseTankBest given to Mom in front of your snarky siblings, this candle is our favorite novelty pick on the list. Not only is it wonderfully scented, its sense of humor speaks volumes. Everyone in the family will laugh — if they’re not ultra-sensitive, that is. Let’s hope everyone can take a joke on Mother’s Day.
6For the Squinting Mom
Credit: PeepersWhile your mom refuses to admit she can read just fine, you can’t help but notice her squinting when reading menus, newspapers, books, and more. It’s time. Get her reading glasses.
If she’s not as jazzed about needing them, these Peepers by PepperSpecs will entice her because they are so stylish. Mom will use them more like a fashion accessory than a utility (wink wink).

7For the Mom Who Deserves a Hand
Credit: OmrhviIf your mom loves a handmade gift, this one is quite literally that. You’ll get everything you need in this kit to produce a one-of-a-kind art piece that mom can display in her home.
While it works best with hands of different sizes (think: yours, your spouse’s, your kids, and even paws!), it’s up to you to be creative with placement and color selection.
8Best for Anti-Aging
Give mom the experience of the ultimate beauty boost with this red LED therapy mask. While topical products offer temporary results, the 66 bulbs in this innovative mask rejuvenate skin to unlock a radiant, natural glow. It also aims to reduce fine lines, fix uneven skin, and ward of wrinkles. If mom integrates it into her beauty routine, she’ll reap the benefits — and maybe she’ll let you borrow it too. (Wink wink.)
The warming sensation of this gadget can also give her a much needed boost in mood, not to mention a nicer complexion.
9For the Sentimental Mom
Mom will shed the happiest of tears knowing how much she's loved after reading this thoughtful keepsake journal. It contains approximately 50 prompts that you can fill in before gifting, so go ahead and say it from the heart. Just be sure to keep some tissues nearby!

Choose from five different settings: Time Travel, Magic House, Sakura Densya, Sunshine Town, and Flower House.
11Best for the Photo Collector
Customize your design by adding the best photos of mom, and write a personalized note to create this thoughtful gift. You can buy the print unframed or framed and pick from the size of a greeting card to the size of a large poster.
12Best for the Grandma
This is what I asked for this Mother's Day. I just want to display my pictures easily, and the Aura lets you do it with the ease of a few clicks. Choose the pics you want, and they're sent right to the frame. I want a few of these, actually.
