Real Simple/Maria DeAngelis Shopping for a Mother’s Day gift can be a challenge, especially when you’re trying to think of a present that she'll find useful yet sentimental. To help make the process less stressful, we researched dozens of gifts and rounded up our favorite ideas for every type of mom. We also spoke to a few experts to get their tips on how to shop for the best Mother’s Day gifts. You usually can’t go wrong with personalized presents or self-care gifts, but there are a couple of things you can consider. When picking out a gift, think about what mom would really enjoy, says Cindy Kang, founder of Hey Dewy. “Think of her love language and gift her appropriately—for example, don't get her an expensive bag if her love language is quality time,” she says. “Maybe that's the gift you want, but what would bring her joy?” Whether you’re shopping for your mom, mother-in-law, grandma, or wife, these thoughtful Mother’s Day presents will make her feel special.

Price at time of publish: $399 Questions You Might Ask What are some last minute Mother’s Day gift ideas? Like many other holidays, Mother’s Day can sneak up on us some years. Luckily, there are plenty of last minute gift ideas for you to explore. “Experience gifts are great last minute Mother’s Day gifts,” says gifting expert Lindsay Roberts Schey. “With moms, so much of it is the thought that counts.” She suggests planning an activity, such as a flower arranging class, a trip to the theater, or a mother-daughter Pilates session. Cindy Kang, founder of Hey Dewy, agrees that an experience gift can be special, but also recommends a humidifier as a practical (but pampering) gift mom will actually use, as well as luxe bath products like bath salts and bubble bath. What should you get for a first Mother’s Day gift? If you’re shopping for a gift for a new mom, the most important thing to remember is that you’re better off getting something for her, not her baby. “A first Mother’s Day is extremely sentimental for many moms,” says Schey. “This is the first time they’ve been able to celebrate this holiday as an actual mother. It’s all about the meaning behind the gift—a personalized bracelet or necklace with the child’s name, a jean jacket with their names hand drawn on the back, or an Etsy sketch of the whole family from a favorite photo.” And for something really practical, you can give the new mom in your life the gift of time: “Arrange a day to babysit so she can spend a few hours away for a mani/pedi, haircut, or getting a massage,” says Kang. How can you make mom feel special on Mother’s Day? Schey says that most importantly, you should make sure the gift feels like her. “Other things you can do is decorate the home [with] balloons or signs handmade by the kids,” she says. “Bring her breakfast in bed. Offer to do the dishes and keep the house in order for the day.” She also suggests using gift wrap decorated by the kids or trying out photo gift wrap. “It’s the thought behind thinking of what would make her happy and her day easier,” Schey explains. “Spending time with mom on Mother’s Day is always a perfect gift, you can’t beat quality time,” adds Jennifer Hinton, co-founder of Carve Designs. “But if you’re not able to be with her on the day, letting her know that you are thinking of her by sending her a thoughtful gift, a card, or giving her a call can be just as special.” Take Our Word for It This article was written by Hannah Baker, a freelance writer and editor with a decade of experience researching and writing about home products. She’s written about products for Martha Stewart Living, Better Homes and Gardens, Apartment Therapy, Brides, MyDomaine, SHOP Today, and Drew and Jonathan Reveal, to name a few. To come up with this list, she researched the best Mother’s Day gifts on the market. She also spoke with three experts: Lindsay Roberts Schey from The Gift Insider, as well as Jessica Herrin, founder of Ever; Jennifer Hinton, co-founder of Carve Designs; and Cindy Kang, founder of Hey Dewy.
