Our hand-curated list below has been carefully picked by our shopping editors who spend their time researching, testing and reviewing products, so you don't have to. This year we've paid particularly close attention to easy-to-gift items like gift baskets and subscription gift options for the moms who just don't want more stuff. We love recommending gifts that are unexpected and that the giftee likely wouldn't think to buy for herself.
A personalized doormat or monogrammed bag are some of our standard suggestions, but this year we've added a few more practical gifts to our list because practical gifts can be thoughtful. From a stylish kettle that'll brew her tea faster, to the $40 silk PJs dupe she'll be obsessed with, we've rounded up quite a few gift ideas for moms that they really want this Mother's Day.

It's the chocolate that ruined all other chocolate for one of our editors. Venchi's Pistachio Cremino bar is made with alternating layers of that creamy gianduja (an Italian creation of chocolate with about 30% hazelnut paste) and delicate, lightly salted pistachio cream spread — a truly Italian flavor. The result is a decadent, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate that has a silky, soft texture and isn't overwhelmingly sweet. It's an intoxicating treat for those who know they love the flavors of chocolate, pistachio and hazelnut.
This two-pack of wine stoppers is probably the most affordable wine accessory you can buy from a name brand like Rabbit. They’re a great gift to pair with a nice bottle of wine or set of glasses. Plus, they’re also dishwasher safe.
Self-care gifts are always a good idea. This scalp massager can help to unwind after a long day. It’s the perfect price, and many reviews say it “feels amazing” and that they would “highly recommend” it.
For the gal who travels a lot, organizing her jewelry can be a hassle. This velvet zippered travel jewelry organizer is the perfect size to store rings, a few necklaces and earrings. It even includes a small mirror so she can put her jewelry on while she’s on the road.
Trinket dishes are useful in pretty much every room of the home, from the entryway to the kitchen to the bathroom. For under $3, this one’s a steal.
Ferrero Rocher, the fanciest of chocolates, is the ultimate gift for chocolate lovers. It's a delicious and overindulgent treat that she probably wouldn’t buy for herself — but she’ll be glad you did. This pack is the perfect size to tuck into a stock, too.
She might already have a ton of candles, but does she have a fun electric candle lighter? This flameless lighter is well-reviewed, with more than 6,000 ratings.
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.
These silicone body scrubbers make great gifts, especially during the winter when dry skin runs rampant. Pair it with some of her favorite body wash for a well-rounded gift.
For the tea lover on your list, gift them something unexpected rather than another tea mug or gadget they'll only use once. This tea candy taste like a sugary glass of iced tea, with a hint of milk. It'll satisfy their sweet tooth and their tea craving in one go.
Gifts under $30
For the tea drinker who likes to watch their brew hard at work, this glass teapot is a smart pick.
This teapot technically doubles as a kettle — and is stovetop, microwave and dishwasher safe — but we do recommend using it instead as a teapot for brewing blooming teas. It comes with two blooming teas to get you started.
Out of over 22,000 reviewers, many say it's a "lovely teapot" that's "dainty and elegant."
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 44,000 reviewers, many say they "highly recommend" this pillowcase, and that it's good quality. Choose from over 30 prints and colors.
It might look silly, but this neck reading light is a great gift for those who have evening hobbies where they need a little bit of extra light, like knitting, cross-stitching, reading or even camping. Out of over 106,000 reviews, many of them “highly recommend” this neck reading light and say it’s “great for reading without disturbing” their partner in bed.
Why sit in your backyard with a pair of binoculars when you can bring birds right up to your window? The mom you’re shopping for will love this acrylic window bird feeder, which is easy to install thanks to strong suction cups. This bird feeder is specially crafted to target cardinals, finches, bluejays, woodpeckers, and orioles, so she’ll only have the prettiest birds coming up to her window. This feeder is also easy to remove and clean and can be filled with seeds, fruit, vegetables, nuts, and mealworms.
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.
A welcome mat may not seem like the most sentimental gift, but when you consider that a high-quality or even cheeky doormat will save Mom from seeing dirt tracked into her home, it makes it all that much more thoughtful.
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 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.
A jade roller is a great gift, so long as it comes with a bit of an explanation. Tell mom it's great to keep in the fridge and roll on your face first thing in the morning to awaken your skin. This nifty one comes with two different sides: a smooth end and a studded end. They both provide different skin workouts for a puff-free look.
Whether she’s cooking, baking, gardening, or cleaning, Mom is rarely sitting down. Help keep her feet cushioned and comfy in these Bronax pillow slippers, which have a 1.7-inch-thick sole and are lightweight and compression-resistant. The wide single strap provides a supportive and snug fit, and these slippers are available in 16 different colors. Trust us, she won’t want to take them off.
This electric kettle will be a counter decoration as much as it is a functional appliance in mom's kitchen. This Drew Barrymore gooseneck kettle uses a 1200-watt plate for quick heat-up and comes in a few soft colors that would look great on many counter tops.
Gifts under $50
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.
Choose from an overwhelming 27 colors and prints — the Black and Gray Stripes are a personal favorite. They're available in sizes XS to 3X.
Flowers are a great gift for pretty much anyone — mom, sister, girlfriend, wife — and Bouqs bouquets are some of our favorites. I've been ordering Bouqs flowers for years, originally for myself and lately as gifts to American family now that I live abroad.
With Bouqs 3-month subscription plan, you can choose a style of bouquet to send one time a month for three months. Choose from floral styles like roses, farmer's market flowers or classic flowers in one of three sizes. The original size runs from $45 per bouquet each month — totally just $137 for the three bouquets.
It's a thoughtful gift that'll bring a smile each month when she receives her bouquet!
The lululemon Belt Bag is iconic for a reason, and that’s because it carries everything a gal needs while keeping her hands free. It’s made of a durable water-resistant nylon, and comes in a mix of crowd pleasing colors, from Raw Linen to True Navy.
If she loves coffee, then this coffee subscription gift from Trade Coffee is something she’ll actually use. Choose from 2-, 3- 6-, 9-, 12- or 24-bag subscriptions to brews from some of the nation’s best coffee brands. We recommend the 3-bag plan, which allows your giftee to choose their preferred frequency of delivery for their grounds. Each delivery includes freshly roasted coffee that’s personalized based on her unique tastes, so she’ll always receive a blend she’s guaranteed to love.
Talk about a gift she likely hasn't bought for herself but might want. This uber-popular Stanley Quencher insulated mug will ensure mom is hydrated and on-trend. Reviewers say that it’s “worth the money,” making it Amazon’s no. 1 best seller in the home and kitchen category.
Another personalized option, this outdoor flower pot is sure to tug on the heartstrings of mom, especially if you include her kids or grandkids' names.
Nothing makes you feel quite so put together as a nice pair of pajamas to slumber in. This menswear-inspired set includes a button-down top and drawstring bottoms with a 30-inch inseam and the super soft material make it great for any season.
Few things are cozier than a fragrant candle burning, so make sure Mom has a new scent every month with a Candle of the Month subscription from Brooklyn Candle Studio. With this subscription, $35 per month, she’ll receive a seasonal candle and matchbox every one, two, or three months based on the delivery frequency you select. Brooklyn Candle Studio’s candles are made of 100% soy wax, all wicks are lead-free, and scents are made up of premium fragrance oils and essential oils.
Pair the above candle with this flameless candle warmer, where you can enjoy the scent without a flame.
Taking care of mom's well-being has never been easier. Gift her a Soothe gift card so she can book an on-demand massage, facial, hair appointment, nail appointment or other beauty service — right to her door.
Gifts under $100
Let’s be honest: We can't go wrong with loungewear, and a well-made robe is something she'll use for years. One of our editors highly recommends this particular “super plush” robe from Brooklinen. Made with 100% Turkish cotton and featuring deep pockets, cuffed edges, and a piped collar, it's been her go-to robe each and every day.
Book Of The Month is a great gift for any mom, but we especially love it for the new moms in your life. Each month, she'll get to pick from a curated hardcover or audiobook selection. If she doesn't want a book that month, she can skip it without using her credit.
Prices range from $60 for a 3-month subscription, to $200 for a 12-month subscription.
A stone bath mat is one of our favorite gifts to give just about anyone, but especially busy moms. With this diatomaceous earth shower mat, you'll never have to step onto a soggy bath mat again. It is super absorbent and quick-drying.
For the mom whose only plans this summer are to hit the beach to sit poolside. This "gift basket" (one of our picks for the best gift baskets for mom in 2024) comes in a cute beach bag that she can use on her next trip and comes filled with a quick-drying Turkish towel, a "Good Vibes Only" travel mug with lid, oatcake biscuits, hibiscus tea, sweet and salty kettle corn, Stellar Mini Braids Maui Monk treats and a strawberry frosé drink mix.
Just add sunscreen and she has pretty much everything she needs for a day by the pool.
This 4-position backpack beach chair is great for the beach-obsessed mom who isn't looking to lug a heavy chair but would like to sit a little higher off the sand to help those knees.
Allow a little extra time for shipping on this one, but elevate mom's pool game with a personalized terrycloth beach tote. Available in tons of bright and cheery colors, Mark & Graham offers personalization right on-site so you can order with one simple click.
The eco-friendly sneakers come in 15 different colors and are loved by none other than Helen Mirren. We love the bright green pair she owns, but you can't go wrong with buying mom a pair of these comfy kicks this Mother's Day.
Gifts over $100+
Upgrade her slippers and house shoes with ones she’ll wear all the time. It’s easy to see why these Ugg Coquette slippers are a best seller. They’re made with a sheepskin cuff and sockliner, while the rubber base provides support and traction. They’re available in whole sizes from 5 to 12, but reviewers note that they tend to run large, so it’s recommended to size down if you’re between sizes.
A birthstone for every kid or grandkid, this 14k gold-plated paperclip chain necklace is sure to please mom. Prices vary by number of charms added to the necklace. The three-stone version seen here is priced as marked.
A namebrand handbag is never a bad choice, and this classic medium leather satchel is chic, streamlined, and feminine—perfect for Mother's Day gifting. It's available in five colors: Blossom Pink, Turtle Green, Conch Pink, and Black.
If she wants an ereader that’s not an Amazon Kindle, might we introduce you to the Rakuten Kobo? I’ve owned one of these two years, and it still works exactly as well as it has since the first day I got it. It’s easy to connect to Libby, where you can access your local library’s database of ebooks, and has all of the features you’d expect for an ebook, like adjustable screen brightness, bookmarking, notetaking and more. You can even find Kobo-specific cases to protect them, too.
