Finding the best gifts for Mom is a labor of love (pun intended), but we’re here to help you source something unique that’ll make any type of mother feel seen (especially the ones claiming they don’t want anything).
If she’s postpartum and needs to make the most of those few hours of sleep, the affordable silk pillowcase here is a popular pick. Meanwhile, we guarantee all the gals on her mom chat are texting about whether or not LED face masks are worth the splurge. (Fair warning: They’re expensive, but our editors vouch for the one this list). Or, go the meaningful (and more budget-friendly) route with a memory book designed for her to share her story with you (it’s the perfect present for daughters to give moms). And, the mamas on our team universally agreed that a trendy fanny pack to help her keep her hands free is a super useful idea for new moms.
Though what she really wants is a phone call and to spend some quality time with you, to help you zero in on a tangible gift worthy of that special parent, we polled all the moms and mother figures in our lives for their recommendations, including small presents and over-the-top surprises that won’t miss.
