20 of the very best mother of the bride gifts for the wedding day

For the mom who's sure to shed a few happy tears on the big day, this embroidered handkerchief is a thoughtful way to make sure she's prepared. Customize it with the date of your wedding for a nice keepsake, too. 

Or, for the mom who could use a laugh, this embroidered handkerchief that tells it like it is. 

Made of soft satin, these robes are the perfect "getting ready" look for the mother of the bride. Choose from eight robe colors and select your preferred text personalization. Select from gold foil, rose gold foil, silver foil, black text or white text. 

For the mom who's sentimental, gift her this personalized birthstone necklace to wear on the big day. Customize it however you like: choose up to 12 gemstones; decide between silver, gold or rose gold hardware and select from chain lengths between 14 inches up to 22 inches.

Moms have a lot to schlep around, especially on the morning of a wedding. Make sure she's prepared with everything she'll need with this cute personalized canvas tote bag. Choose from black canvas or white canvas.

For the mom who travels with a lot of jewelry, this velvet zippered travel jewelry organizer is the perfect gift to help her organize rings, a few necklaces and earrings. It even includes a small mirror so she can put her jewelry on when she’s in a pinch.

Give mom a gift that she'll use every time she travels with a personalized monogrammed makeup bag. This one is made of a fun pastel striped fabric. Choose your preferred embroidery color for a truly special gift.

Speaking from experience, these gel under-eye patches are like a cool glass of water for your under-eye. These ones, in particular, deliver a cooling sensation — though I, personally, recommend keeping them in your fridge so you get a really refreshing blast when you put them on. 

They're great for the morning of a wedding, when you need just a little bit of extra oomph to get you ready for the long day ahead.

They’re made with cloudberry oil and bakuchiol to firm up and refresh your under eyes. Each box comes with a set of five under-eye masks.

Here's the perfect outfit for the mother of the bride to look put together while she has her hair and makeup done. Made with stretchy viscose and nylon, and designed with flowy pants that have a relaxed fit and stretchy waist. Available in nine colors in sizes XS to XL. It's worth noting that the "apricot" color is slightly see-through.

One-of-a-kind occasions call for one-of-a-kind perfumes. For the mom who's into light and charming floral scents, she'll enjoy the notes of peonies, jasmine, red apple and blush suede in this luxurious fragrance. It's a special scent that'll remind her of a very special day.

She'll need a nice picture frame for her favorite photo of the big day. This mother-of-pearl frame comes in three sizes, but we think the 8" x 10" is a great choice for a professional wedding portrait. The elegant lustrous frame can be displayed on a table or mounted onto a wall.  

For the mom who's extra sentimental, this mother-daughter necklace is a sweet way to show mom you'll always be her little girl. The two linked circles symbolize infinite love, strength, protection and unity. Choose from silver or gold.

Printfresh's giftaable PJs are made of 100% organic cotton, and have the widest range of prints, patterns and sizes among the best PJs for women. Because they're made entirely of cotton, they're naturally breathable and durable, getting softer with each and every wash. 

For the mother of the bride, we recommend a fun pattern like Girls' Trip Toile or the Pop the Bubbly print.

We dubbed these our best overall PJs for women in our guide to women's pajamas because of their comfort, style and price point. 

I, like more than 2,600 Amazon reviewers, have discovered that stylish and comfortable PJs dont have to cost a fortune. These ones are made of durable satin polyester with just a kiss of Spandex for comfort, but they look and feel like pricey silk. Perfect for the mother of the bride who wants something comfortable and easy to wear while she's getting her hair and makeup done the morning of the wedding.

Choose from an overwhelming 27 colors and prints — but for the mother of the bride we recommend something traditional, like the Champagne or Blush shade.

Every woman needs a simple but stylish pearl necklace. This one from Mejuri is delicate enough to dress up, but simple enough to pair with tees and sweaters. It’s made of cultured pearls from oysters and freshwater mussels and 18-karat gold vermeil — i.e. gold on top of sterling silver, for a longer-lasting finish. Reviewers say it’s “beautiful and elegant” and that “it elevates every outfit that I'm wearing in a subtle, but classic way.”

She’ll love this mulberry silk eye mask that looks a lot more expensive than it actually is. It also includes a silk-wrapped elastic band that won't pull hair while sleeping, which can happen with eye-masks that are designed with Velcro closures.

Bath bombs are a solid self care gift for mom, but why not gift her something a little bit more unique? These “milky” hot springs bath salts are the next best thing to soaking in a Japanese onsen (kind of). They aren’t perfumes or bubble baths, but instead are minerals designed to promote circulation and warmth. Many reviewers say that these bath salts leave their “skin soft” and that they’re good for “aches and pains.”

Help mom extend her professional blowout with the use of a silk pillowcase. Silk pillowcases have been a favorite among those with curly hair for a long time, but they've been mainstreamed recently as a must-have for beauty lovers and skin care obsessives. 

Out of more than 47,000 reviewers, many say they "highly recommend" this pillowcase, and that it's good quality. Choose from over 30 prints and colors.

It’s hard to buy makeup and beauty gifts for someone, but what we love about this TULA under-eye brightening balm is that you don’t need to know someone’s complexion number or shade preference since it’s good for every type of skin tone. 

It goes on with a cooling sensation, and is formulated with skin-loving probiotics to help brighten and refresh tired skin over time. We think it's an excellent gift for the mom who's eyes might need a little touching up after the ceremony.

As a devout user of this eye balm, I also recommend using it like a highlighter, putting just a dab on cheekbones and brows for some extra brightening power. It's especially nice to put a cooling swipe on in the summer during a hot day.

If you'll find her on the beach as soon as the weather is above 70, then you might consider gifting her one of these personalized Mark & Graham beach totes. They come in three sizes — small, medium and large — so she can tote everything she needs to the beach in one go. The large size is especially nice if she has a kiddo or two in tow, as it can fit beach towels, sunscreen, snacks and toys. Choose from 12 different colors. If you add personalization for $12.50, the total price is $101.50.
