We asked maternal figures of all varieties, from grandmas to godmothers, what the best Mother’s Day gifts are—besides some alone time. (Yes, that’s still the greatest gift for a new mom.) Top contenders include small luxuries like silk pillowcases and popular perfumes. Basically, the vibe is to treat your favorite mothers to things they wouldn’t think to buy for themselves but that they’ll still find useful.
There are plenty of first Mother’s Day gifts in the mix, too, including a weighted eye mask to help her get some shut-eye and a meaningful journal she can one day give to her kids. If you’re shopping for your wife, you can never go wrong with nice jewelry—especially when it’s studded with her kid’s birthstone. Searching for a thoughtful gift for your mother-in-law who has everything? A digital picture frame loaded with snaps of her grandbabies is a simple gesture that goes a long way. And while flowers get all the attention (and we included our go-to), instead, how about a floral-smelling candle that’ll last long after you’ve cleaned up brunch.
Now let’s get into it! These are the Mother’s Day gifts that all the mamas on our team are asking for this year.
