I’m a Shopping Editor and a Mother — Trust Me, These Are the 21 Best Gifts to Get Your Mom

For the Comfy-Cool Mom

I thought I was an Ugg loyalist, but after stumbling upon Cushionaire’s printed suede boots, I’ve been converted! They’re just as soft as the pricier alternative, but the cheetah design gives them a fashionable flair. They’re perfect for everything from dog walks to meet-ups with friends. If mom is a stylish lady who is always on the go, she’ll get good use out of these shoes.

For the Cozy Queen

Does mom enjoy a good movie night? Or prefer to sip her morning coffee while cuddled up on the couch? Then she needs this throw that lives up to its “luxe” name. Available in over 10 shades, the soft, velvety pick is plush, warm and made to last. It also features an elevated satin trim, so it’s something she can display year-round, rather than pack away.

For the Caffeine Fiend

Whether she has a busy job, a sleepless newborn or just loves a fancy beverage, this instant latte variety pack will give her the jolt she needs. By mixing a single-serving packet with 8 oz of water, she can taste fun flavors like Chocolate Chunk Mocha and Cinnamon Dolce. At the same time, she won’t have to worry about any artificial junk — Flav City is famous for its “real, farm to froth” ingredients.

For the One Who Deserves to Be Pampered

Bring the spa to her bathroom with a collagen-boosting red light therapy mask. While shoppers swear this pick is a luxury product that refreshes while fighting wrinkles, it’s shockingly only $99, allowing you to spoil mom without spending a ton.

For the Proud Mama

While some personalized gifts tend to feel cheesy, juju + stitch’s embroidered clothing is an elevated way to go custom. Whether it’s all their kids’ names stitched onto the sleeve or a funny saying displayed front and center, they’ll love this clean, simple design that feels very ‘rich mom’ rather than silly.

For the Mom Who’s Booked and Busy

Is mom always on the go? Get her a fancy planner to keep track of all her activities, appointments and events. Much sleeker than her half-crumpled pack of sticky notes, it will allow her to jot everything down day by day and stay organized. The deep green color is also pretty dreamy, as is the French “L’agenda” label on the front. Très chic!

For the Stocking Stuffer

If you’re looking for something small yet festive to gift, why not go with a seasonal body wash? Native’s Sugar Cookie scent is the perfect pick. Not only will the sweet smell make her morning shower more joyful (even beyond the holidays), but the product itself will leave her skin feeling soft and moisturized for the rest of the day.

For the Scent Sampler

If you’re unsure which perfume mom might like, don’t guess — get this set of mini bottles from PHLUR instead. The brand went viral a few years back for its ‘Missing Person’ fragrance — a floral, woody scent — but the trio includes the clean yet spicy Father Figure as well as the creamy, classic Vanilla Skin. Once you determine her favorite, grab the full size for a Mother’s Day gift!

For the Mom-to-Be

If you know someone about to be in the newborn trenches, gift them the ultimate rich mom pant: a soft, stretchy, electric blue pair from Donni’s collaboration with babycare brand Coterie. Made to fit from pregnancy to postpartum and beyond, they’ll be a small dose of luxury during a hectic time. . . and will pair perfectly with a pack of Coterie diapers.

For the Mom With Celeb-Worthy Style

If you know a mom whose outfits feel straight off the runway or out of a fancy boutique, complete her look with today’s trendiest accessory: the ‘It’ water bottle. Owala’s FreeSip continues to reign supreme, beloved by stars like Jennifer Lawrence and Gisele Bündchen. With so many colors to choose from, you’re bound to find one that’ll suit her style while keeping her hydrated throughout the day.

For the Lookalike Lover

Who needs a $300+ Ralph Lauren sweater when you can get a lookalike for less than $40? Just be warned: you might feel the urge to tell mom about all the money you saved when you gift her this cute, oversized crewneck that features a preppy bear graphic.

For the Mom Who’s Hard to Buy For

Scarves continue to be a no-fail holiday gift idea for anyone on your list, but this year, take things up a notch. Gift mom a luxe-looking shawl she can layer over her tried-and-true sweaters or use to elevate last year’s peacoat.

For the Avid Reader

Did mom join a book club this year? Is she someone who enjoys a good romantasy trilogy? Then grab her a new lightweight Kindle. Now, she can download all her books in an instant, and even borrow her next TBR from the local library through the Libby app!

For the Mom Experimenting With Style

As someone who is still figuring out her style — and size! — postpartum, my favorite presents this year have been Nuuly gift cards. The clothing subscription service lets me rent six new items each month, from current Anthropologie designs to luxury brands. Not only has it helped me curb my spending and rediscover my style, but I’ve also applied the gift card balance to purchases, keeping what I like before returning the rest.

For the Mom With Limited Time

Maybe she doesn’t have time for elaborate hairstyling post-shower, but this blow dryer brush will have her rocking a silky, bouncy ‘do within minutes. The 2-in-1 tool features a titanium barrel that heats quickly and tackles frizz, leaving her with smooth strands. . . and a few more minutes to slap on some makeup.

For the Mary Poppins Mom

If the mom you’re buying for always seems to be lugging around her life in a tote, give her go-to bag an upgrade with a luxe alternative. This Leatherology pick comes with a smaller pouch to help with organization, and is large enough to hold the essentials — even a laptop! (I’ve even used mine as a chic diaper bag.) You can also personalize it by adding up to three characters, such as her initials or her favorite title, MOM!

For the Glow-Getter

If you want to give mom a real treat, get her this rich yet lightweight moisturizer that shoppers say totally transformed their face. The fast-absorbing, non-greasy option quickly plumps and hydrates, leaving behind coveted glass skin that feels as good as it looks. It’s no wonder the brand is a favorite among gorgeous A-listers like Meghan Markle and Jennifer Aniston!

For the Accessorizer

How do I know these $10 earrings make a great gift for moms? Well, for starters, I bought them for myself a few months back and wear them often — they’re the perfect everyday option when you just want a little sparkle. But after my own mom complimented my Amazon find, I purchased her a pair, too! They’re great quality for the price, and could easily pass for something more expensive.

For the Traveler

If she’s been on a plane in recent years, chances are she wished she had packed this travel must-have: a wireless Bluetooth transmitter. All she has to do is plug this baby into the headphone jack, pair her device and bam — she’ll be able to use her wireless headphones for in-flight entertainment. Genius!

For the One Who Loves Printed Photos

In today’s world, some of the best family photos live on our phones, but nothing beats a physical copy that mom can proudly display. Print out a sweet shot of everyone all together, or frame your latest holiday card in this eye-catching, vintage-like frame. The ornate, floral design looks like a pricey something you’d buy from Anthropologie, which is why it’s hard to believe it’s less than $20 on Amazon.

For the Sentimental Mom

If mom is always bragging about her babies or showing off photos of the grandkids, gift her a bracelet (or a full stack!) from BaubleBar that features their names or initials. It’s super sweet and perfectly cheesy. . . in a very stylish, trendsetting type of way!
