Whether you’re on a tight budget this year or looking to splurge, we’re here to help you find tried-and-true products. No matter a mom’s interests, we’ve got you covered with 25 gift ideas we’re sure she’ll adore.
1. For the mom who lives in the kitchen: This mega-popular pressure cooker
If there's one kitchen gadget mom needs, it's an Instant Pot Ultra.
Is there any kitchen appliance hotter than the Instant Pot right now? Frankly, no, which is why it’s at the top of this list. The Instant Pot Ultra emerged our favorite after testing pressure cookers. The multi-purpose pot cooks food perfectly, whether it’s chili or risotto, and it is intuitive to use and easy to clean.
Get the Instant Pot Ultra on Dillard’s starting at $129.95
2. For the mom who inhales books: An e-reader
You're really giving mom a library when you get her an Amazon Kindle Paperwhite.
You don’t have to worry about picking out a book for mom when you get her a Kindle. She can download old favorites and new reads, and have them at the touch of a button. The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite won us over with its sleek, waterproof design, and its ability to also play and store Audible audio content.
Get the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (2018) on Amazon for $179.99
3. For the mom who knows the importance of hydration: A reliable water bottle
Prioritizing hydration is easier with the Brita Stainless Steel Filtering Water Bottle.
Everyone needs a quality water bottle that they can slip into their work bag or cup holder to stay hydrated on the go—or at least to keep them from getting up and going to the kitchen sink constantly. The Brita Stainless Steel Filtering Water Bottle keeps 20 ounces of water cold for hours, thanks to its stainless steel insulation. It’s slim enough to fit in most car cup holders, has a wide mouth for ice cubes, and the lid locks to prevent spillage. As a bonus, the built-in filter helps reduce impurities that can affect taste.
Get the Brita Stainless Steel Filtering Water Bottle on Target for $29.99
4. For the mom who cherishes a fresh bouquet: A flower subscription service
Fresh flowers for mom don't need to be a one-time thing with Bloomsy Box.
Fresh flowers may be a cliché as a Mother’s Day gift, but they’re an instant mood booster, which is why we think mom will gush over floral subscription service Bloomsy Box, which delivers flowers on a regular basis. (And what better way to one-up your siblings than with a gift that keeps on giving?)
On the other hand, if you’re not ready to commit to monthly or weekly flower deliveries, we suggest using 1-800-flowers, which features tons of bouquets for you to choose from, delivered fresh by local florists.
- Order a BloomsyBox monthly plan starting at $39.99
- Shop Mother’s Day flowers and gift delivery on 1-800-Flowers
5. For the mom who gulps down smoothies: A reliable, hard-working blender
Blend up smoothies in a dash with the KitchenAid 5-Speed Diamond Blender.
A blender versatile enough to blend up fruit and yogurt for smoothies or grind nuts for homemade peanut butter is a kitchen staple. Regardless of what mom is making, the KitchenAid 5-Speed Diamond Blender will impress with its five speeds, intuitive controls, and easy cleanup.
For something smaller but still smoothie-rific, we recommend the Nutri-Ninja Fit Personal Blender, which comes with a drinking lid to sip from.
- Get the KitchenAid 5-Speed Diamond Blender on Home Depot for $129.99

6. For the multi-tasking mom: A robot vacuum
Dirt and dust are no match for the Eufy Robovac 11S.
If your mom has a hefty to-do list (or simply dislikes housework), take one more thing off of her hands by getting her a robot vacuum. The Eufy Robovac 11S is more affordable than many, but has strong suction, great navigation abilities, and a slim design that allows it to vacuum even hard-to-reach places.
Get the Eufy Robovac 11S on Amazon for $219.99
7. For the mom who values quality shut-eye: A pillow that molds to her
Give mom the gift of comfortable sleep with the Xtreme Comforts Shredded Memory Foam Pillow.
It may be a stretch to buy your mom a new bed, but you can help her revamp her sleep environment with new pillows. After testing bed pillows, we recommend this one from Xtreme Comforts, which comes purposefully overstuffed with a zipper for access to remove excess, so mom can cater it to her comfort.
Get the Xtreme Comforts Shredded Memory Foam Pillow on Amazon for $49.99
8. For the mom who gravitates toward one-pot recipes: A dutch oven
Cook dozens of recipes with the Staub Round Cocotte or the Lodge Cast Iron Dutch Oven.
A mom who loves cooking new dishes needs one trusty tool that can make pots of stew, braise meat, sauté vegetables, and more. And in our experience, that tool is a dutch oven. This one from Lodge won the Best Value spot during our testing for being easy to clean, affordable, and, of course, for cooking everything from meat to veggies just right.
Willing to spring for our number-one favorite? We loved the Staub Round Cocotte, which fits even better on the stove and in a pantry, but still has a large base with plenty of room for sautéing.

Mom can blast her tunes with Apple's Airpods Pro.
Got a mom who always has Spotify playing in the background? Snag her a pair of Airpods Pro for private listening on the go. The newest wireless earbuds from Apple are more comfortable because of their silicon tips, are easy to set up and sync with devices, and (drum roll) feature active noise cancelling.

11. For the mom who treasures her beauty routine: A lighted makeup mirror
Mom never has to do her makeup in the dark with the Glamcor Riki Skinny.
Applying makeup or plucking eyebrows in the dark is asking for a disaster—that’s where lighted makeup mirrors come in. Our favorite is the Glamcor Riki Skinny, which is wireless, has five bright light settings, a large viewing area, and a super-slim packable, portable design.

Plus, it has amazing sound quality as a Bluetooth speaker, all at an affordable price.

The InnoGear Upgraded 150ml Diffuser freshens the air with pleasant aromas of your choosing.
An essential oil diffuser is a simple addition to any room but makes a big difference in quality and coziness. We love this one from InnoGear because it is intuitive to use and can run continuously for seven to nine hours before needing a refill. Add a pack of essential oils so mom can choose the scent of the room.

14. For the mom who could use a little pampering: A foot spa
Who needs a spa when you can have the Ivation Foot Spa?
Treat mom to some TLC with a foot bath. Our favorite is the Ivation Foot Spa, which features adjustable heating, massage rollers, water jets, and a programmable timer (not that she’ll want to choose anything other than the longest setting). We can assure you that mom won’t just push this to the back of the closet—it’s that good.

Help mom be more conscious of her fitness efforts with the Fitbit Charge 3.

17. For the mom who’s had a long day: Slippers to sink her feet into
Mom will think of you every morning she steps into her cozy slippers.
Slippers are often the first thing someone puts on in the morning and last thing they take off before hopping into bed at night. When it comes to finding the right pair for mom, you’ll want ones with a durable bottom and plush inside to keep her feet cozy. Our favorite are the Minnetonka Women's Chesney Slippers, which have plush, thick soles that’ll keep mom’s feet warm, and a suede exertion that’s stylish.

19. For the mom who needs better rest: A weighted blanket
Mom will get a better night's sleep with the Gravity Blanket.
If you ask us, everyone should own a weighted blanket. These heavy throws claim to help calm the nervous system to alleviate stress, anxiety, and even pain. After searching for the best weighted blanket, the Gravity Blanket came out on top because of its high-quality velvet cover that feels cozy to the touch.
If you want to spend less, we love the YnM, a budget-friendly option that works just as well as the Gravity, but without the cozy exterior.

21. For the scent-sensitive mom: A candle that warms up her space
The Capri Blue Iridescent Jar Candles make any atmosphere cozier.
Candles are always a good gift. These popular ones from Anthropologie double as a scent picker-upper and a beautiful piece of home decor. The sweet “volcano” scent has notes of tropical and citrus fruits and the floral “aloha orchid” smells of orchids, jasmine, gardenia, and white blossoms.
Get the Capri Blue Iridescent Jar Candle at Anthropologie for $30
22. For the mom who moves and mediates: A great yoga mat
Commence meditation, stretching, and yoga with the Lululemon Reversible Mat.
Whether mom practices yoga, mindfulness, or just enjoys a good stretch or at-home workout, she’s sure to appreciate a quality yoga mat. Our favorite, the Lululemon Reversible Mat, feels soft yet tactile under the hands and feet but is firm enough to give support to sensitive joints.
