The 65 Best Gifts for Mom, from $7 to $1000 (Even Though She’s Totally Priceless)

A refined take on the essential work bag, this luxe (and sustainably made) tote from Cuyana comes with everything a busy mom needs to sail through her day. Think thoughtful organizational compartments, tons of space, an adjustable strap and a secure clip closure (for keeping her most-needed items safe). Even better, it comes in a range of sizes and classic colors. (We’re obsessed with the brand new sky hue.)

If she has a hard time turning her brain off after a long day of keeping the family in check, she needs the Nod Pod sleep mask. The soft fleece mask is lightly weighted to help induce relaxation and alleviate anxiety so that she can more easily drift off to a peaceful slumber. 

She’s got everything she needs...except this gorgeous silk pillowcase. It’s a little touch of luxury that will help reduce bedhead and help prevent her skin from being creased or tugged as she sleeps, which can help reduce visible signs of aging. The case also comes in nine luxe shades, all with the same rich silk sheen.

Several PureWow editors (this writer included) swear by this all-star beauty product from Ilia that is both a lip and cheek stain in one. It comes in a variety of hues and glides on nice and sheer, which will give the mom you gift it to a lovely pop of color and one that is moisturizing and makes her complexion radiate, too.

This ingenious set—which includes a folding garden stool and a detachable canvas bag that holds five tools—will prove useful to veteran gardeners and newbies alike. Each tool is stainless steel with wood handles and the weeder and weeding fork alone are worth the price of the whole set.

A classic for good reason, medallion necklaces make a statement without being too over-the-top. This gold vermeil version has a chic 70s-inspired vibe that will look great with jeans and T-shirts or dressed up for mom’s night out. Plus, she’ll love wearing a loved one’s initial close to her heart. 

PureWow staffers are full-on converts to the cult of before-bed topical magnesium, and we bet any sleep-deprived mom will appreciate the relaxation it promotes. Additionally, this formula contains anti-inflammatory arnica, so it does double duty as a lightly lavender-scented muscle rub.

Mom will love how easy it is to travel with this carryon weekender bag that’s big enough to fit all the essentials and then some. Details that make it extra-special? The bottom zip compartment for shoes, toiletries and other important items (everything from your hair dryer to a clutch). Also, the sturdiness and structure of the bag, which features an easy access opening to make packing—and unpacking—a breeze.

This modern and minimal hummingbird feeder design is made from copper, rubber and glass and will seamlessly adhere to a window so that mom can delight over the hummingbirds that come in view. (Also worth noting: It has over 7,000 positive reviews on Etsy.)

Tell her to strap it around the driver’s seat—or around her office desk chair. This deep-kneading massage “pillow” features an ergonomic design that will improve her blood circulation and soothe tired muscles, the exact problems that tend to creep up when she spends hours on the road. The straps are also adjustable, so she can really fix it to any spot.

This hydro-powered, Bluetooth-enable speaker fits around almost every type of showerhead and will make it a breeze for mom to pipe tunes, a favorite podcast, even a book on tape into her morning routine. Yes, it’s also waterproof.

This coffee table book by fashion and creative director Sunita Kumar Nair is a beautiful tribute to the timeless and iconic style of the late Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, as well as a look at her impact on how we get dressed today.

Upgrade her kitchen gear with this streamlined set that’s designed to work together and takes up less storage space. Included in the set are three different size mixing bowls with lids, a juicer lid, a grater and a salad spinner and interior basket. Each piece fits onto one of the bowls—the juicer with the small, the salad spinner with the large—and the whole set is dishwasher safe for easy clean up. 

This pair of three-pound weights is balanced to distribute the resistance for a more comfortable workout. And they come in four beautiful colors (stone, blush, shine and punch), so she’ll want to keep them out rather than hide them away under the bed.

After taking a short style quiz, mom will sign up to get a one-time or periodic box of 12 items that are stylist-sourced, which she can shop piece by piece (you’ll gift a certain dollar amount, but there’s no monthly subscription cost, aka the fashion inspo is free). Her style choices are refreshed daily, and anything she returns can be shipped back at no cost.

This fan-favorite cream deeply hydrates, conditions and renews skin so that it feels instantly nourished. She can slather it on, morning and night, then take note of the hydration transformation in just a few weeks’ time.

Oprah, Chrissy Teigen, Khloé Kardashian—they’re all fans of the coziness and comfort found in products designed by Barefoot Dreams. This blanket is no exception and mom will love that she can wrap herself in a cozy throw that looks just as good resting elegantly on the corner of her couch or draped across her lap.

She’s already in love with the cocoon cardigan from Jenni Kayne. This best-selling style will be another staple she reaches for on repeat. It features an hourglass silhouette as well as a slight bell sleeve and the reviews are all raves. It’s soft, comfortable and looks chic, whether you wear it with jeans or a skirt. Mom will love it.

Finding time to take a bath isn’t always easy for busy moms, that’s why we love the instant gratification of shower steamers.

Made with pure essential oils, she’ll love being able to start her day with some aromatherapy. 

Elevate mom’s casual wear with these drawstring (and slightly cropped) pants, which are relaxed enough to be comfortable without looking messy. Flattering and versatile, these can even be worn with heels and a tunic for dinner out.

Forget coffee—these signature blends, dubbed magical elixirs, are so good they regularly sell out. Start her off with the Golden SuperLatte, which is designed to help the sipper prioritize calm and good health at home. This blend, a spiced turmeric latte with adaptogens, mushrooms and probiotics, is designed to soothe stress and create calm and comfort.

We were recently at a dinner party hosted by a mom friend and some of the other family members (kids included) came down dressed in these PJs. The oohs and ahhs from the crowd! Made from 100 percent Peruvian Pima cotton—aka the most luxe cotton in all the land—these PJs are buttery soft and breathable and, better yet, not stiff at all.

Cell phone cross-bodies are trending, but it’s not just their style that makes them sing. They’re downright practical, which mom will love, thanks to their simplicity: Pop your phone in the holder and a couple of cards and cash, then sling the removable (and adjustable) cross-body strap across your bod. From there, you can snap a pic or send a text at a moment’s notice. Efficient and chic.

Boasting over 20,000 five-star reviews, this foot massager will soothe mom’s tired feet and make her feel like she spent the afternoon being pampered at the spa. And the best part? She can indulge in a luxurious foot massage whenever she feels like. Simply plug in the device and choose from a variety of kneading, pressure and heat options. The machine turns off automatically after 15 or 30 minutes (we highly recommend enjoying the 30-minute option).

This stunning cookbook by author Jan Thorbecke Verlag is a treat to pour over and cook from, but also one mom will love to display on her coffee table. Inside, there are 40 typical French recipes—think Coq au Vin, Crème Brulée, Moules Frites—all accompanied by tidbits about the hidden gems of Paris including where to eat, drink and picnic off the beaten path.

Oh the organization! This project planner is a dream for moms who love to make to-do lists, track monthly timelines and set weekly, monthly or even yearly goals. It’s open-dated, so she can customize it however she likes, but also has ample space for jotting down ideas and process notes. The fabric-like cover (available in a variety of colors) is also super durable.

You know a duvet cover is good when you start getting random texts about it from your mom’s friends. Made from linen, after a couple of washes, this bad boy feels buttery soft and appropriate for any season. It comes in ten restful colors and is perfect for anyone having a hard time prioritizing sleep.

If you’re not familiar with Quince, the brand’s ethos is to produce high-quality items with less overhead/middlemen in order to offer better pricing—and this robe delivers on just that. The price is right, but so is the quality and style. Mom will love the lightweight and spa-like feel of this throw-on-and-go waffle design.

Instruct mom to add just 1 or 2 drops of this chamomile-citrus scented essential oil (the exact notes include lemon verbena, neroli blossoms and bee balm) to her wrists or palms and, after rubbing together, she’ll feel her tension and anxiety start to melt away.

Made from vegan leather, this laptop-sized pouch (which can be monogrammed) will make it easy for mom to carry her work from home to a nearby coffee shop to soccer practice (just in case she wants to hotspot from there). As for what it can fit? The size is big enough to fit a 15-inch laptop, plus a few loose papers. There’s also a magnetic closure for safe-keeping.

Just because you have a baby doesn’t mean that you have to sacrifice your stylish taste. Béis’ The Diaper Bag looks like a high-end handbag, but it’s equipped with everything you need when you’re out and about with a baby: a changing pad, an odor-proof pouch, a wipes pocket and a teething ring. Plus it has interchangeable straps so that you wear it over your shoulder one day, and clip it to your stroller another day. 

Papier’s planners are known for their striking and modern designs. Mom will especially love this undated version (available in 10+ colors) that will allow her to chart her year, complete with pages tailored specifically to goal setting and reflecting.

Yes, these slippers are charming, but they’re also cozy, comfortable and have a no slip sole. With a memory foam insole and a rubber outsole that’s comfortable for both indoor or outdoor wear, these slip-ons are durable no matter where she decides to wear them. 

This genius little device cools to 41 degrees Fahrenheit in under a minute—perfect for holding against the back of a neck, on wrists or behind the knees during a hot flash. It’s designed to look like a mouse, so it blends into a desk set, and it’s palm-sized, so this USB-rechargeable device is also totally discreet.

This easy-to-use Japanese-made rice cooker lets her select the rice type from the settings menu (white/sushi, mixed, porridge, sweet, brown and quick-cooking), put in rice and water, and then just go about her business. Just as handy: The device keeps the rice warm without overcooking it, even if she's not home for hours.

Mom can’t go without her cup of joe, and we can’t blame her. So we simply can’t think of a better gift to give her than this Trade coffee subscription. You can personalize the box with six bags based on her favorite roasts from more than 450 flavors and more than 55 indie roasters worldwide. And it will arrive fresh at her door in no time.

Treat your mom to a hair dryer that will last her years (i.e. it’s worth the investment) and do it while it’s available in this brand-new—and totally stunning—pink and rose gold colorway. In all seriousness, Dyson’s Supersonic Hair Dryer actually speeds up drying time while increasing shine and smoothness and reduces fly-aways all at the same time. This special edition also comes with five attachments and a complimentary Dyson paddle brushes, also in rose gold.

There’s nothing worse than a kitchen timer going off and a dish ready to come out of the oven, but—gasp—all you’ve got is one solitary oven mitt. Gift mom this double mitt with plush pockets and she’ll always be prepared to handle any and all hot pots.

Sure, the Notes App on her phone is fine, but she’d much rather daydream with a pen and paper—heck, even writing out the grocery list feels more fun when you’ve got a pocket notebook set as pretty as this. (Pro tip: You could also throw in this cute set of gel pens.)

You don’t know her as well as your own mother, but you know you want to get her something nice. Gift this polished enamelware frame (available in a range of colors) with a photo of you and your hubby—or simply any image she’ll love—and cue the waterworks. 

This ergonomically designed mixed bristle brush (from London’s century-old hair brush experts) combines fine boar bristle with nylon tufts to glide seamlessly through strands so that they feel more beautiful, healthy and lustrous—sans split ends. Bonus: It’s especially great for fine hair, which she is getting more of as she ages...gracefully.

This 24-hour hydrating lip balm is something your mom will want two of the minute she tries it out. Available in a wide range of colors (subtle neutrals included), key ingredients include sugar from beetroot and sugarcane and plant-based fruit oils that help soften and smooth, but also deliver on beautiful—and buildable—color.

A hot bath is great, but the hard surface and the angle of the tub can sometimes be uncomfortable—especially for moms with hip or back issues. The Back Bath Pillow aims to fix this problem by providing therapeutic head, neck and back support while sitting in the tub. The pillows and covers are machine washable, don’t get waterlogged and come in three sizes to fit different bathtubs.

The reviews are in: The Theragun Mini’s purse-sized design (it literally fits in your palm) makes it a breeze to use on the go. But it also packs a punch: Mom can connect it to an app on her phone and use it to cycle through a range of wellness routines, all designed to target and revive tired muscles.

She’ll be amazed at the intricately detailed flowers and the vibrant colors will bring a smile to her face. Each bouquet comes with a paper vase and a blank notecard so you can tell your mom just how much she means to you.

A conversational question a week, an email reply—Storyworth will help you organize and ask mom about the most meaningful parts of her life and herself. At the end of the year, Storyworth will help you compile all those anecdotes and turn them into a beautiful keepsake book. Truly, mom will love it.

Since hydration is one key to maintaining skin’s elasticity and youthfulness, this is kind of like gifting her with the Fountain of Youth.  

Nothing’s better than getting lost in a good book—except having a special place to store that book.

A favorite kitchen item of anyone who is a serious cook—including our Food Editor—a Staub enameled cast iron Dutch Oven is ideal for making soups, braises and so much more. While the incredible heat retention is what sets these apart, mom will most appreciate that it’s dishwasher safe. 

Is your mom’s love language creating incredible paper or fabric items that look straight out of a magazine? If so, she deserves a gift of the latest and greatest Cricut machine. It works with more than 100 different types of material and it comes with a free trial membership to Cricut Access so she can create all sorts of amazing DIY-projects.

A bottle of Chanel perfume is always a wise choice for a sophisticated mom, but this Coco Mademoiselle comes in a glamorous, limited-edition box. The scent hasn’t changed—it’s still the same iconic blend of orange, jasmine, rose and vetiver—but when it comes in a golden box it feels even more special. She probably wouldn’t ever buy it for herself, which is more reason to give it to her this holiday season. 

Mom can set this inkless printer up right on her countertop and wirelessly print all the pics she snaps on her phone. The images—which are all sized at 2x3—print in seconds on the starter pack of photo paper that comes included.

Containing three must-have knives—a chef’s knife, paring knife and serrated knife—this set will make her prep work a breeze. The carbon steel knives are full-tang (meaning the steel goes all the way through the handle), rust resistant and honed using a traditional Japanese method so the blades stay sharp longer. 

A shirt and a jacket all rolled into one, this shacket is quite possibly the coziest, comfiest item of clothing ever made. Crafted from Barefoot Dreams’ signature CozyChic fabric—which feels like wearing a stuffed animal—this is the ideal thing to throw on for school carpool runs.

The twists and turns don’t stop in this thriller—by novelist Katherine Faulkner—about a shocking murder of a nanny and a mother (and freelance journalist) who will stop at nothing to get to the bottom of the mysterious circumstances surrounding her death. Gift this title to mom, plus 48 hours of just-for-her time to curl up and read.

For reference, Poesy rings date back as early as the 15th century and typically bore poetic inscriptions that were meant to be an expression of friendship, inspiration and love—how fitting for mom! We love this delicate and stackable sterling silver version, engraved with a singular reminder for her to think of whenever she touches it: Breathe.

This no-touch and clog-proof system is designed so everyone in the household can quickly and easily wash their hands, sans complaints. Mom will love the efficiency (soap is dispensed in a fraction of a second) and the cleanliness (hold your hand close for a tiny amount and further away for a bigger dollop).

This celebratory set—available from Cameron Diaz and Katherine Power’s organic wine brand—features a range of the some of the most delicious bottles: A sparkling rosé, a red and a rosé. Mom will love busting it out when company comes or simply serving it with dinner at home at the end of a long (but productive!) day.

An upgrade to her regular headphones, Apple’s latest offering will allow mom to fully disconnect from the world thanks to active noise cancellation, breathtaking audio quality and a sleek design. And if she has to tune into her surroundings, she can rely on Apple’s genius new feature called “transparency mode” which automatically toggles noise cancellation off should a conversation begin.

The Golden Girls is her true north. Now she can color her feelings. (Bonus points if you throw in a set of highly pigmented pencils.)
