Hi shoppers! At this point, most Mother's Day gifts will not arrive in time for 5/11: it all depends on the retailer, the item, where you live, and how much $$$ you're willing to spend on expedited shipping.
So please enjoy our gift guides, but understand that you may have to simply let your loved one know that their gift may be arriving *later* than 5/11.
1. A cedarwood and neroli-scented body scrub for the mom who never treats herself to a spa session, even though she totally deserves one. It'll gently buff away buildup while leaving skin moisturized and glowing (thanks to the coconut and sweet almond oils in the formula).
2. A silky soft short-sleeve pajama set so mom can feel very put together at bedtime without overheating in the middle of the night. These are so cute, you might as well get matching ones for yourself.
3. An adorable toadstool-shaped candle that'll bring a smile to their face every time they see it — there's no better way to tell mom, "I love you so ~mush~!"
4. A fluffy backrest pillow because snuggling up with a good book and maybe a cuppa tea is the ultimate form of self-care. It'll give comfort and support to the person who's always done the same for you. <3
5. A low-profile belt bag with plenty of pockets for the active mom who needs her hands free, whether she's on a hike or just making a grocery run. She'll be able to easily access her essentials, including her phone, and this is important because you'll be calling a lot.
6. A transparent bird feeder so mom can take up the very wholesome hobby of bird watching. You can expect many FaceTime sessions and pictures about her new feathered friends. Chirp chirp!!
7. An aesthetically pleasing silicone baking mat — with a geometric pattern on one side and measurement guides on the other — that'll eliminate the need for parchment paper and double as a protective liner for the kitchen counter. It's practically perfect in every way, like Mary Poppins — and your mom.
8. A luxurious hair oil to keep their locks looking luscious year-round (even when it's terribly humid or windy outside). It can be used as a pre-wash treatment to prevent breakage or as a finishing oil to enhance shine and keep frizz at bay. I know my mom loves a hair oil — maybe yours will, too!
9. A color-changing 3D light for the wonderful human being who read Goodnight Moon to you as a kid every night before bed. Mom, we love you to the moon and back.
10. A portable personal blender so mom can quickly and easily prepare a smoothie when she's on the go and has no time to prepare a full meal (because her day is often jam packed). It's so much easier to use and clean than a full-size version.
11. A timeless tennis bracelet set that'll sparkle like a million bucks on their wrist without the $$$ price tag that would stress them out. (Who else's mom gets mad when you spend too much on them?) You just *know* they'll get a ton of compliments at their next book club.
12. A jasmine and rose-scented hand cream as an indulgent everyday treat because they deserve the very best. And they'll think of you (the favorite child...just kidding!) each time they apply it.
13. A very cute watering can for the mom whose favorite pastime is gardening. If you're wondering why you didn't inherit mom's green thumb — I have no answer because I'm wondering the same thing. (Mom, save my monstera plant!!)
14. And on the other end of the spectrum — a pair of planter bookends with faux eucalyptus if your mom loves books, loves plants...and kills plants. These will add a touch of nature to their bookshelves with zero watering required.
15. A compact sound machine to give them the best gift of all — peaceful, uninterrupted sleep! It'll drown out snoring, barking dogs, noisy neighbors, and rowdy grandkids, thanks to options including white noise, ocean waves, and rain sounds.
16. A small but mighty waterproof wireless speaker so mom can listen to her true-crime podcasts in the shower/bath, or anywhere really. This way she won't have to deal with tangled headphones and just focus on enjoying her ~me-time~.
17. A set of packing cubes for the practical mom who's been the backbone of every family trip since you were a kid and who can appreciate the beauty of an organized suitcase. If only these were invented during your childhood — mom would have been wayyy less stressed.
18. A cute coffee mug if your mom is basically Lorelai Gilmore when it comes to caffeine and has been in her "coffee era" for IDK, decades now — but who's counting?!
19. And a chic insulated tumbler so their coffee stays warm through traffic jams and looong meetings that truly could have been an email. *Insert major eye roll*
20. A gorgeous incense holder that'll help mom turn chaos into calm...and ~zen~ some. It'll be perfect for her yoga and meditation corner because she's not a regular mom, she's a cool mom.
21. A wax warmer shaped like a miniature lamp (how cute) for moms who love scented candles but are concerned about open flames around children and pets. *Sniff sniff* What's that I smell? A great gift.
22. Lego roses as an unexpected alternative to a fresh-cut bouquet. These stems will never wilt and putting the set together is a wholesome bonding activity you and mom can enjoy together.
23. A stainless-steel wine tumbler so mom can enjoy a nice red while working on her night cheese (IYKYK). It keep drinks cold and comes with a splash-proof lid and straw, making it great for use on the patio or by the pool.
24. A charmingly rustic and totally functional stoneware egg holder to make this Mother's Day ~egg-stra~ special. Begone sad paper carton!! Will eggs taste better in these?? Maybe...
25. An extremely soft and cozy throw blanket for snuggle sessions and naps — two things all moms excel at. And can one ever have too many nice blankets? Nope!
26. A Gleem electric toothbrush mom can use at home or while traveling (case included) — it's sleek, battery-powered, and has a built-in timer to help track brushing progress. Reviewers say it's powerful despite the compact size. A gift that keeps on giving — in the form of clean teeth.
27. An elegant ginkgo leaf trinket tray to hold keys and essentials for the person who taught you "a place for everything and everything in its place" *and* gave you your excellent taste in decor.
And if all else fails, a hug is always one of the best gifts you can give!
