Finding the best gifts for Mom, whether you’re shopping for her birthday or the holidays, is a labor of love. She’s number one—so it’s time to bring your A-game. If she spends all her time caring for others, a splurge-worthy option like a silk pillowcase is for some self-care. Personalized presents like an embroidered sweatshirt with her pup’s face on it, meanwhile, will make her feel seen (especially if she's also a dog mom). And if she’s someone who has everything (hey, she deserves it), she’ll still appreciate little luxuries like a bracelet encrusted with her kids birthstone, which happens to be a perfect present for daughters to give moms.
To help you zero in a 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. From gifts for new moms (eye masks, motherhood journals) to foolproof ideas that also make great gifts for all the women in your orbit (beauty gifts to pamper her and food gifts to feed her soul), these ideas never miss. (And seriously, call your mother!)
