If mom enjoys yoga, stretching, pilates or any other mat-based movement, upgrade her to the Manduka PRO Lite Yoga Mat ($95 at Amazon). This is one of the best yoga mats thanks to its grippy surface and premium, non-toxic material. Manduka is a coveted brand in the yoga world, and for a good reason — the mats were designed by actual yoga instructors. Bonus points if you pair the new mat with credit to a yoga app or her favorite fitness studio.

Whether your mom talks about wanting to read more, or has an old e-reader in need of an upgrade, the new Amazon Kindle 2022 ($99 at Amazon) is a brilliant gift idea. It’s super lightweight and compact, making it easy to take on the go. A kindle makes it so easy to find new books and get into stories wherever you are. Users can download books to own in the Kindle library, or even sync an eligible library account to rent popular reads. This TikTok-viral Kindle strap accessory ($21 at Amazon) would make a great companion gift as well.

As an alternative to flowers that wilt after a week, get mom everlasting roses from Venus Et Fleur. While the company has dozens of arrangement varieties with several customization options, one of our favorites is The Classic Bundle ($179 at Venus Et Fleur). It features two miniature flower arrangements: a single rose in a round box and nine petite roses in a square box. The bundle comes with a small candle as well. Essentially, it’s three gifts in one, and doesn’t mom deserve that (and more) for Mother’s Day?

Apple Watch SE (2022)

If mom is ready for her first Apple Watch, the Apple Watch SE 2022 ($249 at Amazon) makes one of the best Mother’s Day gifts. As the best Apple Watch for first-time smartwatch users, the Apple Watch SE has all the basics: notification mirroring, apps, fitness tracking, mobile payments and more. It even works iPhone-free with optional LTE, so mom can stay connected wherever she goes. It comes in a few colorways and works with all sorts of Apple Watch bands, so you can customize the look of the watch to best suit the recipient's style.

Grandma deserves a great Mother’s Day gift, too. Get her an Amazon Echo Show 8 ($129 at Amazon), the Alexa-powered smart display that can be used to play music, enjoy photos and — most importantly — video chat with family. This Echo Show doesn’t take too much counter space, yet it totally transforms a kitchen or bedroom with a voice assistant and visual reminders at a glance. You can even send messages and notes to grandma’s display to let her know you’re thinking about her, which she’ll obviously love.

Hamilton Beach Big Mouth Juice Extractor

The Hamilton Beach Big Mouth Juice Extractor ($69 at Amazon) is the best juicer you can give as a Mother's Day gift thanks to its terrific performance combined with great value for the price. The three-inch wide chute can fit whole ingredients, which saves plenty of food prep time, while the design itself takes up minimal countertop space. Whether it’s juicing citrus or leafy ingredients, mom will get a very high yield from this juicer (even higher compared to models more than twice the price!)

Help take some of the pressure off cleaning up around the home by gifting a robot vacuum to the mom in your life. The iLife V3 Pro Robot Vacuum ($105 at Amazon) is the best robot vacuum on a budget, so you can expect great performance at a low price. It works on both carpets and hard floors, plus it’s powerful enough to tackle pet hair shed from the furry friends in the house. The included remote control and one-touch clear button is practically fool-proof, so this robot vacuum cleaner is even ideal for less "techie" users.

If mom is all about capturing memories, a digital photo frame is a great gift for displaying photo albums with sentimental value. Our recommendation is the Aura Mason Luxe Frame ($249 at Amazon), which has outstanding image quality and vibrant, realistic colors packed into the 9.7-inch frame. It even supports video with sound, so you can get creative with the content you want mom to see. Intuitive touch bar controls make it super easy to operate, while the companion app syncs photos quickly from a smartphone gallery or Google Photos account.

Want to win Mother’s Day? Get mom a brand-new KitchenAid Artisan Series 5-Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer ($375 at Amazon) in her favorite color. If she wants to elevate their home baking, this is the perfect gift. In addition to taking the manual work out of mixing, this KitchenAid mixer comes with several attachments to suit different situations, including a beater, dough hook, whip and pouring shield.

The Le Creuset Enameled Signature Cast Iron Skillet ($119 at Amazon) is a brilliant Mother’s Day gift, because it’s both functional and fashionable at the same time. Le Creuset is renowned for its Dutch oven designs, but the company also makes one of our favorite cast iron skillets. With an enamel finish, this skillet doesn't require constant seasoning, and with useful pour spouts, it’s quick and easy to tip away the oil after cooking. With 11 colors to choose from, you can select mom’s favorite color of a product that’s sure to be used and loved for years to come.

Hatch Restore 2

For moms who need more sleep — or, more restful sleep — the Hatch Restore 2 ($199 at Hatch) is the best Mother's Day gift you can buy. The minimalistic, fabric-swathed exterior that looks like it came out of a high-end home decor catalog. But beneath the fabric, which is color-matched to a soft-matte shell, the Hatch Restore 2 features a multi-purpose light. More simply, it replaces a desk lamp mom might use as a reading light. But using the companion Hatch Sleep app to set an alarm, the light will gradually increase in brightness to reproduce a sunrise. A selection of soft music can play when the light is at its brightest, signaling that it’s time to wake up.

SuperGoop! Unseen Sunscreen

SPF is an essential skin care step — and not just for days out in the summer sun. All year round, encourage mom to protect her skin with a great, lightweight SPF like the SuperGoop! Unseen Sunscreen ($18 at Amazon). SuperGoop!'s products are on the luxurious end of SPF, so it’s the perfect gift to give mom to help her easily elevate her skincare routine. The oil-free formula means it can be worn alone or under makeup, while sweat-resistance means it should last all day under normal conditions.

Bala Bangles

One of our favorite fitness gifts for Mother’s Day (and any occasion, really) are Bala Bangles (from $55 at Amazon). This pair of 1-pound wrist weights are perfect for all kinds of activities. Whether your mom loves to walk, weight train, do pilates or other kinds of movement, wrist/ankle weights are the ultimate accessory. We particularly like Bala Bangles because they stay secure on wrists and ankles while moving around. Not only that, they're pretty sleek-looking as far as fitness gear goes. There's a wide variety of fashionable Bala Bangles colors to shop from, too.

Theragun Mini

The Theragun Mini ($199 at Amazon) packs all the benefits of percussive massage in a small, portable package that mom can fit in her purse or gym bag. Despite its tiny size, the Theragun Mini can massage the soreness out of muscles at three different speeds: 1750, 2100, and 2400 PPM (percussions per minute). It comes with just one attachment, but that should be enough for an introduction to percussive therapy. It’s a great little device, and one of the best massage guns on the market for the price.

Hydroflask Wine Bottle

If mom loves wine, she’ll love being able to bring it anywhere in a temperature-controlled, stainless steel wine bottle. The Hydroflask Insulated Wine Bottle ($39 at Amazon) holds an entire 750mL bottle of red, white or rosé, making it travel-ready. For tailgates, beach dates, boat days, backyard parties and more, there’s plenty of occasions where Hydroflask’s wine bottle could come in handy. Hydroflask also sells insulated wine cups that match the bottle colors, so you can make a one-stop Mother’s Day bundle.

Apple AirTag

The Apple AirTag ($29 at Amazon) is one of the best keyfinders you can for a mom with an iPhone. An AirTag makes it a breeze to keep tabs on where items are, as well as locate them when they’re lost. An AirTag can track down a misplaced item with audio and visual cues that lead right to the AirTag’s location, whether it’s inside a backpack or wallet. For an added personalized touch, you could order an AirTag directly from Apple with a free name or emoji engraving that mom will love.

Moms who love making stews and soups in the kitchen need a dutch oven, and one of the best ones you can get in terms of design and value is The Dutchess from Great Jones ($160 at Great Jones).  The 6.75-quart enameled cast-iron dutch oven is excellent for all kinds of recipes, plus the colorful enamel exterior looks great to leave out on the counter or on top of the range. It's even dishwasher-safe, meaning less cleaning work for mom.  

Homesick Candle

Candles are some of the best Mother’s Day gifts every year, but if you want to give one that's a little extra special, a Homesick Premium Scented Candle (from $28 at Amazon) is a thoughtful choice. Homesick hailed its name with candles made to smell like specific places, but the brand has since expanded to include scents that relate to different activities, astrological signs and times of year. With so many options, you’ll be sure to find one that reminds you of mom. 

Mumm Napa Brut Rose

If mom loves a good glass of bubbly, the Mumm Napa Brut Rose ($22 at Wine.com) is a timeless gift for Mother's Day. Not only is the brand aptly named for the holiday, but this bottle in particular is highly versatile. It can be enjoyed on its own, or used in wam-weather cocktails. We love treating mom to a Mother's Day brunch, and you can bet we'll have a bottle of Mumm Napa Brut Rose on the table. 

Anker 622 Magnetic Portable Battery

The Anker 622 Magnetic Portable Battery ($58 at Amazon) is one of the best Mother’s Day gifts for the on-the-go mom. Unlike a standard power bank that tethers your smartphone to a battery with a cord, this power bank works with MagSafe. That means it magnetically secures to the back of an iPhone for wireless charging. For most iPhones, the Anker 622 Magnetic Portable Battery can provide nearly a complete charge while also providing a helpful kickstand. Finally it can be used as a power bank for your additional devices via USB-C.

Sonos Move

For moms who love all things music, the Sonos Move ($399 at Amazon) is the ultimate Mother’s Day splurge. It’s a portable smart speaker that can be used both indoors and outdoors, thanks to an auto-tuning feature that automatically adapts sound for the space. As a Sonos speaker, the Move has smart features for music streaming and even voice control when connected to Wi-Fi. Outside, it works as a Bluetooth speaker, and powers any outdoor gathering with up to 11 hours of battery life.

For a more portable music-listening experience, a compact Bluetooth speaker like the Victrola Music Edition 1 ($53 at Amazon) makes a great Mother’s Day gift. Not only does it look sleek, but it has plenty of function to match the form. Since it’s rated water and dust resistance, this speaker is ideal for outdoor experiences, such as pool parties, beach days and tailgates. With 12 hours of playback it can last all day, which is perfect for moms who try to keep the party going. What’s more, it’s perfectly purse-sized, meaning it can follow wherever she goes.

Salt-N-Soak Pro Footbath

Instead of bringing mom to the spa, bring the spa to mom with the Salt-N-Soak Pro Footbath ($99 at Homedics). This all-in-one gadget lets you recreate the nail salon experience with a heated soak, gentle bubbles and a pumice stone attachment. Mom's favorite soaking salts can be added to the water for added relaxation benefits, too.

Archer Roose

Mom might love wine, but what if she only wants one serving at a time? Or does she need a portable solution for summer outings? Canned wine might not scream “luxurious Mother’s Day gift,” but Archer Roose’s selections (from $64 at Archer Roose) will surprise you. From bubbly and rosé to sauvignon blanc and malbec, there are a variety of wine types that can be shipped directly to your door. Having tried a few types (until my mom stole the rest) I can say that anything in an Archer Roose can is guaranteed to impress. Pick mom’s favorite wine type or opt for a variety, building a tasting experience into the Mother’s Day festivities.

Anova Sous Vide

The Anova Sous Vide ($219 at Amazon) is the best Mother’s Day gift for those who love to try out new cooking gadgets. Sous vide is a precision cooking method in which you vacuum seal meat or fish in a water bath, and let the sous vide machine control the water temperature to ensure a perfect preparation. What’s more, sous vide can be used to create oil infusions, boiled eggs and even oats. The Anova Sous Vide can be programmed with hundreds of free recipes in the Anova app, and controlled with the app, on the device itself or with Alexa. A vacuum sealer or sous vide container are excellent accessories if you want to take your gift one step further.

If mom enjoys unwinding with a jigsaw puzzle, the Lego Brick Botanicals 1,000-Piece Puzzle ($17 at Amazon) would make a great Mother’s Day gift. Inspired by the viral Lego flower-themed sets, this puzzle features an eye-catching collection of Lego florals in pink, orange, red, yellow and more. It comes with a print-out to help follow along with the 20 x 25-inch board. A puzzle like this is also the perfect excuse for some quality time — mom and the kids can spend the day or evening collaborating to complete the picture.

Moms who are fueled by caffeine deserve an upgrade to their morning coffee setup. The best all-in-one solution that doesn’t break the bank is the L’OR Barista System Coffee and Espresso Machine Combo ($189 at Amazon). Similar to a Keurig or Nespresso, this L’OR machine uses hassle-free pods to brew coffee quickly. But it doesn’t make just coffee or just espresso shots —the machine can craft 6 different beverage sizes depending on the pods you use. It’s even compatible with certain Nespresso pods. And if you really want to spoil mom, package the L’OR machine with a pack of these viral glass mugs ($28 at Amazon).

Sony WH-1000XM5

Help mom block out the hubbub of her surroundings and luxuriate listening to her favorite music without interruptions. As one of the best headphones we’ve ever tested, the Sony WH-1000XM5 ($398 at Amazon) are a great value active noise canceling headphone option. With stellar active noise cancellation, call quality, sound, comfort and connectivity, these headphones are great for work and travel. They have useful touch controls on the earcups, and playback time runs to 30 hours with ANC on (40 with it off), which is better than most. Plus, the whole Sony XM5 package is one of the most eco-friendly headphone designs we’ve come across, with a clean aesthetic mom will appreciate.

For the mom who loves to stay hydrated, the Owala Stainless Steel Tumbler with Handle ($34 at Target) is an excellent Mother’s Day gift. While the Stanley Cup is certainly iconic, it can be prone to messy spills if tipped over. Owala’s straw cup follows a similar design language, even coming in a selection of fun colors, but the lid secures the straw in place, limiting spills and splashes. The double-wall insulation will keep mom’s drinks hot or cold longer, all while fitting perfectly in the cupholder of a car.

Whether it's a margarita, martini or glass of bubbly, The Coupe is a must for at-home bar spaces.

The water-repellent exterior will keep mom dry in light rain conditions, while elastic details and cording ensures a comfortable fit all day long.

Whether it's for a practice session or quick 9 holes during a busy day, this walking bag offers the perfect amount of portability. Plus, it won't take up too much room in the trunk of a car. But our favorite reason for getting this bag is that you can make it a truly special present by customizing it with mom's initials.

True Temp Weighted Eye Mask

Sure, you could get mom a normal eye mask as a Mother's Day gift. But if you really want to impress, a mask like the Sleep Number True Temp Weighted Eye Mask ($29 at Sleep Number)  is the way to go. Thanks to a weighted insert, this mask promotes relaxation with gentle pressure that can help ease the wearer to sleep. It also blocks light and has temperature control technology. The best part?

Our pick is the Hamilton Beach Artisan Dough & Bread Maker ($109 at Amazon). Even if mom doesn't have bread-making experience, this appliances really couldn’t be more simple to use. You just chuck the ingredients in, set the program and you’re good to go. The bread machine will combine the ingredients, knead the dough and bake it, so it's ready to serve a few hours later. 

When is Mother's Day 2023? 

Mother's Day is typically celebrated on the second Sunday in May. This year, Mother's Day will fall on Sunday, May 14. Although it's not a national holiday, it's still considered a major retail holiday as consumers look to buy gifts such as flowers and cards.

What are typical gifts for Mother's Day? 

Flowers and chocolates are typical Mother's Day gifts. That said, if you're looking for Mother's Day gift ideas that are a little different, retailers like Amazon, Target, and Sephora have Mother's Day hub pages where they've collected a wide assortment of potential Mother's Day gifts as the holiday gets closer. Amazon's hub page, for instance, usually lists gifts for the "fitness mom," "foodie mom," and even the "trendy mom."
