Let’s be honest: Buying Mother’s Day gifts is kind of a nightmare. Not because moms aren’t deserving (they’re literally holding society together with one arm while making lunch with the other), but because every mom is so different. Some want a 90-minute massage and a hotel room with blackout curtains. Others just want a handwritten card that proves you remember her birthday. Some want a large Dunkin’ iced coffee. And some — bless them — will say they don’t want anything at all. (They’re lying. Obviously.)
The hard part is that, since moms are so busy Doing It All For Everyone, we have zero time to think about what we’d actually want for a holiday dedicated to us. And um, you asking us? That’s putting another item on our never-ending to-do list. That’s why we’re making this easy for all involved. Whether you’re shopping for your own mom, your mother-in-law, your friend who just gave birth and hasn’t slept since, or yourself (because, yes, buying your own gift is self-care), we’ve got the recs. From cozy essentials for the new mom to gifts that’ll impress even the hardest-to-shop-for matriarch, this list has something for every stage of motherhood and every type of mom.
So skip the generic mug, the panic-scrolling at 11pm, and the “is this cute or cringe?” second-guessing — and grab a Mother’s Day gift that’ll actually make her feel seen, appreciated, and ideally, pampered AF. Because if anyone deserves to be celebrated properly, it’s the one doing the most. Sorry, friends. Those gas station flowers aren’t gonna cut it this year.
