Anytime a gift-giving holiday rolls around, my mom’s request will go one of two ways. Either the classic “don’t get me anything,” or a list of mainstays that I know she’ll buy herself anyway (notepads, a tube of mascara—you know the type). My sweet mother genuinely doesn’t need me to buy her a gift for Mother’s Day to feel my love. This is exactly why I’m resolved to give her the absolute best gift. (Is my “eldest daughter” showing yet?)

But first, let’s define the best gift ideas for moms. They generally have one thing in common: it must be something she won’t buy herself AND ALSO will greatly enhance the enjoyment of her life once it’s hers. Too much pressure, you say? Not if you’re wrapping up a chic locket, the perfect elevated reflection of a classic gift. For the new mom, this hands-free pump will quite literally change her life. And for the mom who needs a wellness moment, this washable silk set will bring a little luxury into even the most mundane moments.

Ahead are 20 of the best Mother’s Day gift ideas for moms this year to show all the mommas in your life some love.

Classic Mother’s Day Gifts, Elevated

Flowers are a classic, it’s true. And while I wouldn’t say no to a fresh bunch, the mother in me longs for something that lasts. This olive tree would make a welcome addition to any table, bookshelf, or porch. It’s a reminder of your love for Mom with each new growth.

This chic silver locket can be engraved with a date, name, or initials. She’ll be just as overjoyed to open the pendant as she will be to discover whichever adorable photo you decide to include on the inside.

I know what you’re thinking: a robe for mom, how original. Well, it certainly is when you discover a lightweight, washable 100% mulberry silk robe that comes in multiple colors and sizes.

I love to give (and receive) a classic mug, but this is the year to step it up a notch when it comes to drinkware as gifts. Casa Zuma’s recycled stemless wine glasses are the perfect wabi-sabi touch—and better yet, they’re dishwasher-friendly.

Gifts for New Moms

Oh, what would life have been like if this pump existed during my breastfeeding years. No wires, no batteries, no noise—it sounds too good to be true. And the truth is, only a mom could design something this good. This discreet breast pump works with the natural continuous suction of mom’s body and you can even pop ’em in the dishwasher.

Give mom the gift of peace of mind with a formula proven to enhance digestion, cause more efficient weight gain, and even cause fewer spit-ups. It’s made from 100% organic, grass-fed whole milk and a patented protein blend as close to breast milk as a formula can get.

For the two-under-two moms among us, a double-stroller is a gift that cannot be overhyped enough. Not just a want, a necessity. The Thule Urban Glide 3 Double provides cozy seats for the kiddos while giving mom freedom to maneuver with ease. Plus it’s lightweight enough to pack in the back seat—and designed so that you only need one hand to do it.

Personalized Gifts for Mother’s Day

Moms love a personalized gift but it’s time we upgraded from keychains and water bottles to something a bit more special. This Sézane bag is a favorite among the Camille Styles mom crew. It holds all the things and that simple personalization doesn’t deter from the French-girl design.

I had a friend embroider her daughter’s initials on the sleeve of her Max shirt and to this day, I can’t get over the chic-ness of it all. Choose from numerous colors and options—but you can’t go wrong with a scripted “mom” over the pocket.

Is there anything that declares “Modern Mom” more than an embroidered classic LL Bean Boat and Tote? The Trader Joe’s mini tote may be having a moment, but this timeless design and solid construction is not going anywhere.

Self-Care and Wellness Gifts for Mom

Boll & Branch just launched their new collection, the Vintage Washed Sheet Set, and these sheets are truly the softest, coziest thing you ever snuggled up to. Forget the searching and combing through reviews because once you go Boll & Branch you’ll never go back. Camille Styles readers get 15% off the entire site with code CAMILLE15 which is huge—new collections hardly ever go on sale. (Moms love a deal!) #partner #sponsored

Every mom needs a pair of house shoes that she can immediately slip on come five o’clock. These slides are so cozy, but the structured bottom makes them mom-worthy. They’re sturdy enough for school drop-off (don’t ask me how I know…) and soft enough to channel traditional slipper vibes.

Here’s a Mother’s Day gift full of little luxuries to kick off a dreamy nighttime routine. She’ll pull her hair back with a silk scrunchie, rest her head on a silk pillowcase, and pull a silk eyemask over her eyes. She’ll sleep like a baby (ya know, if babies actually slept through the night).

Bring home the spa-like vibes of SkinPharm with this best-selling Youth Serum. It’s the solution (literally and figuratively) to just about anything—from dull, dry skin to redness and uneven texture. If she’s longing for softer, smoother, brighter skin, this is the stuff.

Editor Favorites

This linen table throw is the solution to pulling together a breezy tablescape at a moment’s notice. It’s the perfect weight to layer on for any meal—a must-have for any mom who loves to gather around the table.

Working moms need a different sort of tote. This well-structured bag from Beis can hold a laptop, snacks, AND a water bottle. And the interior padded laptop pocket will protect against drops or spills (par for the course for moms).

I gave these socks to my mom once just to say thanks and it was such a delightful gift. I imagine her walking around in these socks (I’m told were once worn by Taylor Swift if that’s interesting to you) knowing she’s got a little something special on her ankles.

Speaking of recipes, these nesting antipasto bowls are perfect for “just a pinch.” They’re exactly what you’re looking for when filling gaps in a charcuterie board with drizzles of honey or salty olives.

I can’t let a Mother’s Day gift guide go without an Anthropologie candle, which works out because this one was literally made for mom.

Finally, the sandals that are on my list and hers. They’re easy on, easy off. They go with dresses and shorts alike. They erase one decision a day—what shoes should I wear?—and one less decision is gift enough for me.
