From a veritable collection of unique products for the fitness moms, super-useful tech gadgets for the tech-savvy, wonderful relaxing gifts to pamper them, and of course, a few fashion and skincare options, we’ve got you covered! Are you ready to impress mom?
Not your average yoga mat
If your mom is a super yogi mom, the Backslash Fit Smart ($82) is sure to surprise her. It’s a yoga mat that rolls up on its own and even comes with bonus yoga routines from Women's Health that she can listen to on her smart speaker.
Smart coffee
If she’s a coffee or tea lover and you’re looking for a really modern gift for mom, allow us to introduce this temperature control mug for beverages. The smart mug from Ember ($100) can be set using her smartphone and it’s completely washable.
Sporty and trendy
White sneakers are still very in-style. For the moms who are fitness fanatics, these athletic shoes have an innovative design and are great for running and working out. Even better, the Women's UA HOVR Phantom/SE Running Shoes by Under Armour ($135) are very lightweight and cushioned.
Mirror, mirror
Without a doubt, your mother is “the fairest and most special of them all,” so she certainly deserves the perfect gift for taking a look at herself. The Sensor Mirror Compact Stainless Steel ($100) is a mirror that allows you to adjust the brightness of the light. It also comes with 3x magnification which makes it easier to see every last detail.
Perfect hands
The gift she can take with her everywhere, while caring for her hands at the same time, is this Tocca Hand Cream ($20). This bad boy is full of nourishing oils and Shea butter, making it ultra-hydrating.
Super watch
The Fossil Gen 5 Julianna ($225) is no ordinary watch. Surprise mom with this smartwatch crafted with stainless steel. It has a touchscreen that includes a speaker and GPS; it can measure your heart rate and be configured using your smartphone. Best of all? Its modern design allows her to wear it every day.
Instant memories
If your mother is a picture fanatic, she would definitely love having an instant camera. The instant digital camera from Polaroid with ink-free printing technology ($66) has a minimalist design with a retro feel and you can also get it in purple, pink, red and blue.
Sensual lips
If your mom loves makeup, a red lipstick is a sure-fire classic. Rouge Dior Ultra Rouge by Dior ($38) is an elegant and sexy option.
For the extra trendy mom
One of the most on-trend accessories right now are fanny packs. Surprise mom with the Cessna Belt Bag from Aldo ($35) that even comes with different belts, making it more versatile when it comes time to showing it off.
Skin relaxation
Let mom pamper herself with the Beauty Sleep Wash With Magnesium & Lavender from The Base Collective ($21), a body wash that will nourish her skin and leave it looking younger, softer and firmer, while the lavender relaxes both body and mind.
Relaxation gift set
This gift is quite educational. The Unwind Live Well Gift Set ($50) is a lavender hydroponic seed-growing kit, an activity that’s very relaxing. It also includes a sleep mask, a soy-blend candle scented with orange blossoms, lavender and cedar wood, and a pillow spray with a delicious lavender scent for her to relax with aromatherapy.
Attire for relaxing
This gift would be the best if you paired it, for instance, with our last suggestion. A plush bathrobe in delicate cotton will make your mother feel comfortable and fresh while she’s relaxing. This is the Cotton Terry Cloth Robe by Ralph Lauren ($79).
A sporty partner
To keep everything in one place while mom works out, we recommend the Nike Radiate Club Training Bag ($85). It offers plenty of storage space with a versatile main compartment.
A fashionista staple
Denim jackets are a classic. Your mom will love pairing this staple with dresses, skirts and even jeans for a more casual look. We suggest the Classic Denim Jacket in Brilliant Day Wash from J.Crew ($110).
The skincare set
The Mini Loves Mini Masks Set by Fresh ($56) is the perfect gift for moms who love taking care of their face. This kit contains six different masks: exfoliating, purifying, revitalizing, firming, relaxing and rose to nourish and moisturize.
A practical gift
A backpack that also packs style is a gift that’s truly useful. Le Pliage from Longchamp Paris ($125) is available in four other colors and it’s a total classic.
Coloring gardens
Coloring is a really relaxing activity. The Secret Garden by Johanna Basford ($7) is a book that’s full of gardens, flowers and animals, so mom can enjoy this creative activity that also helps relieve stress.
Spring fragrance
A nice perfume is a classic gift that you can never go wrong with. The Tom Ford Champaca Absolute ($240) is a blend of fresh, spring scents that will brighten your mom’s day every time she’s wearing it.
Glamour to the max
If your budget is flexible and you’re looking for a gift that’s super fabulous, picking something from a designer label is an excellent choice. This Printed Twill Silk Scarf by Dolce & Gabanna ($195) is crafted from delicate Italian silk. Not only can she wear it around her neck, she can also decorate her favorite handbag with it.
“Royal” footwear
Meghan Markle herself admitted she wore the Starling Dusty Rose Velvet ($95) shoes during her pregnancy. The ultra-comfortable flats feature soft quilted satin insoles, double-layer high-density memory foam, shock absorption and arch and heel support. Pure comfort!
Sun protection in style
If she likes outdoor activities, she’ll love a hat like this. The Joanna Hat by Brixton ($55) is available in six colors and would be the perfect accessory to all your mom’s summer dresses.
Book lovers
My Dark Vanessa by Kate Elizabeth Russell ($23) is one of the most popular books of the moment, both in sales and among book lovers. Mom is guaranteed to spend a lot of time talking about it with her book club.
There are a lot of great gift options—one for just about every budget and personality. So jot down a few ideas and start the search for that perfect little something to show your appreciation for that special woman in your life.
