What do you get for the person who makes the world go round? That's a tough one, because moms are amazing people, and shopping for them is especially challenging since nothing ever seems to be enough to express just how much you love and appreciate them. Hard as gifting for mothers is, these ten purchases come pretty close to perfection.
Take the Load Off Mom's Feet With These Slippers
Don't give mom just any old pair of slippers. Give her the BMW version of slippers with the UGG Women's Coquette Slippers. No one does slippers like UGG, and nobody's feet deserve a treat more than mom's. These feet treats are sturdy, well made, and will serve your mama well, making them worth the hefty price.
What We Like
▪ Sturdy rubber sole so no slipping should occur
▪ Warm and cozy
What We Don’t
▪ Expensive for a pair of house shoes
When you were small, you were mom's sleep stealer. Now that you are grown, you can give some zzz's back to the lady who rocked you to sleep for so many nights with a perfect pillow. The Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-Cloud Pillow is like snoozing on a cloud. While moms are notorious for always being on the go and never resting, with this pillow, the little sleep she does manage to get will undoubtedly be quality snoozing.
What We Like
▪ Memory foam-based material and ideal for all types of sleepers
▪ Comes with a five-year warranty
▪ Hypoallergenic and machine washable cover
What We Don’t
▪ Expensive, especially if you plan to buy a set of them
The Wearable Accessory That Will Streamline Her Life
Mom can navigate her way through life with the GPS feature, pay bills with the touch of a button, track her sleep, set reminders for the millions of places she has to be on any given day, and use the voice assistant to call her favorite child to thank them for such an awesome gift... all from her wrist! This is far more than a watch, it is everything, and mom will be obsessed with it, as long as she has the mental bandwidth to learn all of the useful, techy apps included in the watch.
What We Like
▪ Contains tons of useful features (basically a spaceship of a watch)
▪ Sturdy, crack-resistant face and structure
What We Don’t
▪ Might be complicated for a not so tech-savvy mama
▪ Expensive
The Ability to Connect With Her Favorite Stories
If mom enjoys spending her leisure time reading, gift her the Kindle Paperwhite. She can read her favorite tales in any environment, from bright outdoor spaces to dimly lit corners. Downloading is a cinch, and this tablet requires minimal charging, so no stopping to charge, just as the story is getting good!
What We Like
▪ Minimal charging required (once every few weeks)!
▪ Easy downloading abilities
▪ Adjustable screen brightness
What We Don’t
▪ Doesn't smell like an old book (but there has to be a book-scented candle out there, right)?
A Place to Showcase All She Loves Most
There is nothing your mom loves more than her brood. Give her a space to house her collection of memories with a digital picture frame. She can set it up in her favorite room in the house, upload her most precious memories, and let them scroll through over and over.
What We Like
▪ Allows anyone with an app to upload images
▪ Eye-catching design
▪ Multiple styles
What We Don’t
▪ Expensive
A Decadent Candle to Promote Relaxation
Something about a hot soak in the tub combined with a divine smelling candle creates a soothing experience like no other. Help your mom unwind with a Holy Ficus scented candle. Hand-poured by a husband and wife team who have truly mastered their craft, every one of the scents they produce is amazing, but this combination of cardamom, frankincense, fig, cedar, ginger root, and saffron feels extra-warm, cozy and relaxing.
What We Like
▪ Layered scents
▪ Even melting for little waste
What We Don’t
▪ She will want one for every room, and that will get costly!
A Le Creuset Pot That's the Crème de la Crème
There is SO MUCH mom can create in a dutch oven, and there is no dutch oven on the market that compares to this bad boy. It is cast-iron perfection, and so pretty she won't ever want to store it away in a cupboard. There are so many colors to choose from, so be sure to pick one in mom's favorite hue.
What We Like
▪ Many colors to choose from
▪ Superb heat distribution abilities
What We Don’t
▪ It costs quite a lot for a single pot. Save those pennies!
A Gardening Kit to Hone Her Green Thumb
Get mom into gardening with an all-in-one kit that will have her surrounded by delicious and nutritious veggies in no time! Combine this with a vegetarian cookbook so she can grow her food and transform them into meals for herself (and YOU)!
What We Like
▪ Low price point
▪ Includes all you need to get gardening
What We Don’t
▪ Gardener moms will love it. Moms who want to kick back and relax might not adore another thing "to-do."
The Mother of All Charcuterie Boards
This isn't any old charcuterie board. This board is a mega-charcuterie board! It has everything a mom would ever need to entertain guests with tiny finger foods and fancy jams. From dazzling parties to pretty picnics, your mom will be locked and loaded with this thoughtful gift.
What We Like
▪ All-in-one entertaining piece
▪ Made from naturally water-resistant acacia wood
What We Don’t
▪ Might be complicated to clean with the many nooks, crannies and drawers
A Totally Hip Tote Bag for Everyday Wear
Whether mom is heading to run errands, to book club, or out for drinks and dinner with friends, she will be the most fashionable mom on the block with this beautifully made tote. Totes are perfect purse options for moms who are known for the mass amount of "stuff" they manage to cram into a purse. This Madewell design has tons of storage room, conveniently zips at the top, and is classic and trendy.
What We Like
▪ Comes in three classic colors
▪ Roomy with plenty of storage
▪ Comes with two means of carrying
What We Don’t
▪ Might be too expensive to buy one for mom AND one for yourself (and you will end up wanting this)!
On Mother's Day, be sure to show mom that she is appreciated and adored. Give her your time, love, and attention as well as a gift that she will put to good use!
