No matter what they’re into they all deserve something they’ll treasure on Mother’s Day, and we’ve got a guide to help you find just-right gift ideas to make her go awwww.

Our customers can’t get enough of these presents, and they often sell out, so snag that special something that celebrates Mom before it’s too late.

For Moms Who Seem to Have Everything

And you thought dads were hard to shop for—the mom with it all is an especially uncommon challenge, but you’re more than equipped for the task with gifts like these. Make it personal with a birth-month-themed piece of jewelry or wine glass. Make her smile with a tea set and handmade ceramic mug. Snag some comfy pajamas and a flowy scarf or wrap. Give her an excuse for some me-time with shower steamers and a book.

Self-Care for New Moms

Self-care is important, especially for new moms recovering from giving birth and navigating parenthood for the first time (shoutout to all the moms who handle the midnight feedings). Treat her to a mini spa day right at home and help her unwind with bath, wellness, and beauty gifts like scented bath bombs, shower steamers, and handmade soaps. She’ll appreciate some time to herself, particularly when the relaxing aromas of essential oils are involved.

Moms Who Like to Get Crafty

Her happy place is anywhere she can sit in peace with her crafting supplies, DIY-ing everything from fiber art to watercolor portraits. Encourage her hobbies with arts and crafts gifts like customized painting kits, unique puzzles, embroidery sets, and more. Not only does it show you get her, but she’ll think of you the whole time she’s crafting. Now leave her alone—she’s busy knitting.

Sparkle Goes with Everything She Owns

It’s more than a piece of jewelry—that necklace, bracelet, ring, or pair of earrings is a token of your love and affection. Make it extra special with jewelry gifts that feature the raw beauty of uncut diamonds, the crystal or gem that represents her birth month, or a handmade pendant necklace with a special message. It’ll be a sentimental reminder of your adoration whenever she slips it on or off.

She Just Needs to Finish This Chapter

Her nose is always in a book, and she’s lived a thousand lives: a pirate, a bootlegger, a queen, a fighter pilot, a spacefarer, and as many more as there are novels on her shelf. You know “just one more page” means at least a dozen, so delight your bookworm with book and reading gifts like reading lights, bookends, bookmarks, and even a few new titles to add to her collection. Just be sure to keep the noise down and leave Mom’s reading nook undisturbed.

You’ll Find Her in the Garden

Nothing makes Mom’s day like relaxing in her backyard oasis, one that she’s cultivated through careful selection of flowers, plants, shrubs, and decorations. Inspire her love of all things gardening (and invite some friendly neighborhood pollinators over for a sip) with garden gifts like charming yard accents, birdfeeders, pruning gloves, watering cans, tools, and more. You’ll help make Mom’s outdoor space even more her own.

A New Experience for Mom

Is your mom more of a doer that likes learning new things and doesn’t mind getting her hands a little dirty? Give her the gift an Uncommon Experience. Each real-time, virtual class is led by an instructor who’s an expert at what they do, and they do a lot. Mom can cook a new type of cuisine, take a mixology class to expand her drink repertoire, learn how to read tarot cards, sample rare chocolate and coffee, plus lots of other cool stuff. Many classes come with a kit, sampler, or tool to help you complete it, and any additional necessities Mom needs to pick up are shared beforehand.
