Moms have a way of delivering the best gifts year round. So when the time comes to treat her, it’s important to put some time and thought into choosing something memorable. The best gifts for mom will make her smile on Mother’s Day, her birthday, and beyond.
To ace the gifting occasion, consider the kind of mom you’re shopping for. There are the classic, best gifts for women that any mom would always love to receive, like luxe new pajamas, slippers, or a wellness gift to promote self care. Or, if you’re looking for something extra thoughtful for a friend or sister who just became a mom, personalized jewelry and spa gifts for pampering and relaxation are always a good idea. If you have a boyfriend’s mom or new mother-in-law on your list and are unsure of what to get, impress her with a luxury candle or chic perfume. Shopping last minute? You can’t go wrong with a flower delivery or a gift card that’ll arrive right on time.

With Mother’s Day on the horizon, there’s no time like the present to get a leg up on shopping. Go with a creative gift for mom that nods to her interests (those with a green thumb will love a countertop herb planter, for example). Or surprise her with a personalized Mother’s Day gift, like a fill-in-the-blank journal. Useful gifts for mom can also come off as thoughtful — who wouldn’t love a do-it-all facial tool that will give her great skin?

Vitruvi Stone Diffuser
Best Gift for the Homebody
If mom’s home is her sanctuary, upgrade her ambiance and self-care routine with this chic stone aromatherapy diffuser by Vitruvi. The essential oil diffuser is so sleek it doubles as a decor piece and is available in 8 colors, so there’s one to match every interior style. It features an automatic safety shut-off feature, an optional LED light, 4- and 8-hour run times, and scents up to 500 sq-feet with your aromatherapy scents of choice. You can add in the brand’s essential oil starter kit box so she can figure out their favorite scents, too.
What reviewers say: “This is a really beautiful diffuser that works well, and it is simple to use. Unlike some cheap diffusers I’ve tried, this one puts off a LOT of mist with the oils, so I can immediately start smelling them filling my house, and I don’t have to wonder when it’s going to start making a difference. The light option is a very nice, subtle warm light. I don’t even notice it during the day, and at night it’s still very gentle and unobtrusive. The eucalyptus color is a nice neutral tone with a lovely accent in my kitchen without standing out too much. I do wish it was cordless because the cord isn’t very aesthetic, but I knew that it was corded when I got it, so that wasn’t a surprise to me. It keeps working for the full four or 8 hours that I set it on and does a great job.”

These slippers are so soft and cozy! I feel like my feet are walking on clouds! I really love how warm my feet are in these UGG slippers too. My shoe size is 8. I was a little concerned reading the reviews because a few of the reviews gave recommended to order a 1/2 size up so your heals do not hang over the back of the slippers. I took a chance and ordered a size 8, and I was pleasantly surprised that my heels do not hang over the back of the slippers. These are THE BEST slippers ever!”

Great product – good value for all of the functionalities it offers, very easy to use (came with a QR code linking to videos to show you exactly what to do), and doesn’t take too much time to use.

Ember Temperature Control Smart Mug
A temperature-controlled coffee mug is one of the unique gifts that any mom can use this year. Ember’s Smart Mug ensures that mom will never have to have another cup of coffee or tea go cold again. The mug’s charging coaster has the ability to keep a drink hot all day long, and the mug itself has a 1.5 hour battery life, too.

What reviewers say: “This is my second Ember mug and I love them. They keep your drinks at your chosen temperature for at least an hour. On the rare occasion that I use a normal mug, I’m always surprised by how fast the coffee cools off and by how much that changes the flavor. Charging and cleaning are easy; iPhone app works well enough.”

Cloud Massage Shiatsu Foot Massager
Best At-Home Massager for Mom
If you’re not already the favorite child, there’s no quicker way to claim the spot than with the gift of a relaxing foot massager. Cloud Massage’s Shiatsu Foot Massager has thousands of glowing five-star reviews on Amazon, so you know it’s a reliable gift idea. The compact at-home machine targets the feet, ankles, and lower legs with a deep kneading Shiatsu technique to help relax, improve blood flow, reduce inflammation, stimulate muscle recovery, and provide pain relief.
What reviewers say: “Straight to the bottom line: This machine is excellent! A massage therapist (and by that I mean an actual person) with exceptionally strong hands is the only superior alternative I can think of. But hiring a professional to come to my TV room every night for an hour would be not be as convenient, and considerably more expensive. In two weeks it’s significantly reduced my PF (if you don’t know what that means, then consider yourself blessed!). I like it so much, I’m buying another one for a friend.”

It’s also a great gift idea for new moms that could use something cozy and comfy for their nursing chair.
What reviewers say: “These pillow covers are so luxurious. My home is very minimal and they add so much warmth. I would have rather had the option to purchase just the pillow covers as the pillow form inside was not great, still glad I purchased them though.”

8Greens Daily Vitamin Powder Sticks
Best Gift for the Health Conscious Mom
Remember how your mom used to tell you how important it was to eat your greens? Well, now it’s your turn to tell her to drink hers. 8Greens was founded by Dawn Russell as an easier way to ensure you’re getting all your daily recommended greens and immunity-boosting nutrients in one. The daily supplement powder sticks, which come in two flavors, Cucumber Watermelon and Pomegranate Basil, are made using spinach, kale, aloe vera, wheatgrass, blue green algae, barley grass, chlorella, and spirulina—and yes, I promise they somehow manage to taste very, very good (which is ideal for those who hate drinking plain water, too!).
What reviewers say: “I am super happy that I tried these 8 Greens packets! A friend recommended them to me and I was skeptical. I have tried green powders before that were really grainy and didn’t dissolve in liquid. These are amazing though! They are kind of expensive, but so worth it. The powder is super fine and dissolves immediately in water, no blender is required. The flavor is surprisingly good too, I bought the Cucumber Watermelon flavor and can’t wait to try the other flavors. I would highly recommend 8 Greens to anyone who wants to get more nutrients in their diet.”

BodyRestore Shower Steamers
Not everyone has time for long, relaxing baths, but that doesn’t mean you can’t give mom the gift of a luxe shower experience. These shower steamers by BodyRestore release aromatherapy essential oils (this set includes grapefruit, citrus, and cocoa orange scents) that help promote relaxation. All she has to do is place one tablet on the floor of her shower and it will release the scent in the steam as she showers.
What reviewers say: “I purchased these after using the Eucalyptus Mint shower bombs, and they are every bit as awesome. I use them both regularly. There are three scents in this package, Citrus, Grapefruit, and Cacao Orange. They are all wonderful so I really don’t have a favorite. Each one is individually wrapped, and super easy to open, and they last almost exactly as long as an average shower. The smell is so refreshing first thing in the morning, that I’ve been using them every day. Eager to see if there will be new scents in the future. Would definitely buy!”

What reviewers say: “It’s a very thoughtful, thought provoking book. You’ll have to think about the answers and reveal how you really feel about the other person. I knocked a star because of the size; it’s a “cute” size and could be a little bigger, however since the questions are 1 sentence and don’t take up much room, I’m sure this is why it is the size that it is.”

What reviewers say: “As I’m aging, my hair is thinning out. It is more fragile, has less shine and can break. I used my saved points and got the Dyson. Wow! It took a while to get used to but my hair is so much softer, shinier and with less frizz. It saves a lot of time when getting ready for work in the morning. Just went on a trip overseas. Did not take my Dyson because I would have to buy a different converter (won’t work with a standard converter due to its higher power). And could you see the difference! Lots of frizz, less shine and felt much drier. I won’t go anywhere without my Dyson again. I recommend saving up and using your Ulta point as it’s a fabulous dryer, but not over $400 fabulous.”
