The Best Gifts for Mom to Solidify Your Place as Her Favorite Child

Wonder Valley

Little Wonders Gift Set

Sometimes hotel room amenities just don’t cut it, which is why this set of oil-based skincare powerhouses will earn a special spot in the carry-on this winter. Aimed at cleansing, moisturizing, and protecting, each one proves that olive oil really is kind of magical.

Joanna Czech

The Facial Massager

If she loves a massage, this facial massager is a game changer in her self care routine. Designed by famed skincare expert, Joanna Czech, this tool when paired with her favorite serum or cream will be her morning salve to depuff and lift the skin.

Osea

Vagus Nerve Travel Set

If she’s had a rough go of it lately, get her this set that’s intended to relax her nervous system. It starts with a bath oil to set the vibe, includes a massage oil to stimulate the Vagus nerve, and ends with a pillow mist to keep the calm going.

Gucci

Leather-Trimmed Cosmetics Case

Let her tell the kids it’s what’s on the inside that matters and all that. But not here. Not in this case.

Mutha

Up All Night Eye Cream

It’s loaded with coffee and botanicals for her morning pick-me-up, plus slightly luminescent from the pearl powder in it that brightens up sleepy undereyes.

Senself

Triple Shield Rich Moisturizer

If you’re a mother with dry, crepey skin, you don’t need just a li’l moisture, you need a “triple shield” moisturizer. This one bakes in a lot of good stuff for her skin barrier (including ceramides and antioxidants) but is also much cheaper than some other high-end creams once you have her completely hooked.

Chanel

N°5 Eau de Parfum Purse Spray

The Outset

Botanical Barrier Rescue Balm

Easy to throw in a purse and beautiful enough to leave out on a nightstand, this dry oil will quench even the most parched of dry spots. It’s packed with 10 botanical oils, including rose hip, jojoba, marula, and camelia.

True Botanicals

Pure Radiance Body Butter

Whatever annoyances of the past have gotten her goat—forgetting to call, roasting her on the family call—will likely be forgotten once she dives into this luxe body butter. Scented like sandalwood and citrus, plus loaded with antioxidants, it feels like an induglence but is loaded with good-for-skin ingredients.

Aesop

Geranium Leaf Body Scrub

Popping open this earthy-smelling body scrub feels like taking in a full-body inhale of crisp forest air. The vegan formula is made with bamboo stem, pumice, and—of course—germanium leaf, which gives it that botanical aroma. If she uses before bed, the soft scent can help carry her right to sleep.

Augustinus Bader

Revitalizing Essentials Set

For the mom riding a big wave of decision paralysis—a gift set of coveted Augustinus Bader staples is a no-brainer. This three-piece set sets her up for success with a skin-tightening and brightening serum, hydrating cream, plus eye patches for masking dark circles.

Jo Malone London

Car Diffuser

Commuting is way more fun when it comes with a signature scent. For that, Jo Malone’s clip-on diffuser is a delightful addition to the minivan and super easy to install, so you (hopefully) won’t be getting any calls about it.

Salt & Stone

Bergamot & Hinoki Body Mist

The name may say “body,” but this bergamot mist actually works wonders as a hair fragrance. Since it’s alcohol-free, it won’t dry out her strands and it’s light enough to spritz a few times throughout the day.

NuFace

Mini+ Petite Facial Toning Device

Maybe she’s firmed up her skincare routine, but when her face starts losing elasticity, she’ll need more than retinol to keep everything taut. Introduce her to the new generation of gadgets. This one uses powerful microcurrents to lift brows, contour cheeks, and smooth over fine lines.

Blue Bottle

Craft Instant Espresso Multiserve

Not your mom’s (old) cup of instant coffee. This stuff is so good, that you may as well go ahead and get her a whole subscription.

Crow Canyon

Enamel Cake Stand

Trust the folks at Crow Canyon (who’ve been perfecting enamelware since the ’70s) to produce something that could actually steal the spotlight from one of her legendary pies or cakes.

Quince

Stainless Steel French Press

There are few kitchen tools more sleek than a stainless steel coffeemaker. This one has a double-walled design, meaning it’ll stay warm even when she forgets about it and hops into a whole morning of meetings.

Brightland

The Luminous Capsule

Cuzen

Matcha Maker Starter Kit

For all the glory of a piping hot green tea without all the mess and the whisking, there’s Cuzen’s techy matcha machine, which helps her get her afternoon fix without much elbow grease involved.

Hawkins New York

Block Printed Cafe Apron

She’s stylish, right? Never a hair out of place—and when there is, it looks intentionally casual. Help her maintain the look with an apron that hits her sartorial standards.

Alessi

White Plissé Electric Juicer

Counter space is sacred, so ensure every single appliance mom has out is worth looking at. This elegant ribbed juicer checks that box, and also delivers a big dose of vitamin C at the same time.

Emile Henry

French Ceramic Fruit Storage Bowl

Just like mom after a rough day of parenting, fruits and veggies need some air. This bowl has a hiding spot for the ones that like to chill in the dark (like unripened fruit and potatoes), plus a bowl for those that like to lounge al fresco. The cork construction is very intentional—the material is known to suck up moisture and shoo flies far away.

Staub

Tomato Casserole Dish

Chances are she already has some Staub floating around the kitchen, but not this beauty. (And if she does, congrats, you have a very cool mom.) It’s made of cast iron, so it’ll hold up in the oven or on the stovetop—but it’s also just a very fun way to serve a salad.

Yamazaki

Bread Box

It’s a bread box that doesn’t look like a bread box—and that gets an A+ in our book. The magnetic closure is super strong, so it’ll keep pests far from carb’s way. Plus, the top of the box is perfect for placing a candle, spices, or a stack of cookbooks.

MoMA Design Store

Cube Kettle

She’s going to want to name this stainless steel kettle and that’s cool. Another fun perk: The fold-down handles also make it easy to store.

East Fork

Rolling Pin

Follow a generations-old tradition of gifting an expertly crafted rolling pin to the cook in your life. This baguette-like one is best for the pastry inclined, as the dowel style gets the baker closest to the dough for better control.

Fishwife

The Tinned Fish Utensil Set

Girl dinner is for moms, too. This set includes a utensil trio (two forks and a knife), as well as a build-your-own tinned fish trio.

Fox Run

Stainless Steel Oyster Plate

A very special plating situation for a half-dozen oysters or a bunch of dips, depending on where mom’s culinary fancies lie.

Haws

The Warley Fall

For the master gardener, upgrade her green thumb with a gorgeous watering can that will bring joy everytime she uses it.

Parachute

Organic Cotton Puff Comforter

How long has she had her comforter? Is it time to finally give her hotel-quality bedding? Parachute’s plush puff comforter will make her feel like she’s sleeping in a 5-star hotel. Need we say more?

UGG

Euphoria Throw Blanket

Josephinenhütte

Josephine Set

Her favorite wine will taste even better in the proper vessel, and this set has designs specifically made for white, red, champagne, and a universal glass.

Schoolhouse

x Clare V Cast Metal Catchall

Some moms mess up movie times, and others lose their keys on the daily. For the latter, this catch-all is a cute way to encourage better habits.

Yuns

Expandable Toolbox

For the mom who delights in a DIY project or a deeply organized sewing kit, here’s one expanding toolbox with room for all her tiny pins and nails, organized by color-coded storage cups.

Morrow Soft Goods

Embroidered Sheet Sets

Coming Soon New York

Candelabra

Consider this proof that recycling can be downright stunning. Made of waste-scrap material, the metallic candle holder sorta resembles a raindrop sliding down a window—it also reflects the flames, making it an extra-cozy pick for the mom who loves to throw dinner parties.

Toast

Stacked Check Patchwork Quilt

She’s given you some heirloom-worthy gifts in the past, now it’s your turn. This quilt is hand-woven in India, with a timeless check pattern that will never outgrow its nostalgic style.

Heather Taylor Home

Plaid Tablecloth

Here’s a reason to swap out whatever tablecloth she’s currently sporting for a wintery plaid. Handmade by artisans based in Chiapas, Mexico, the classic palette is cheerful with an extra dash of fun (thank you, tassels).

Fleck

Stemware Chalice Set

These mouth-blown glasses are a subtle toast to mom, with a wavy rim that’s slightly mod, but not too out-there. Pair it with a bottle of her favorite wine or cocktail ingredients and you’ve got a gift worthy of making you the favorite child (for now).

Maison Ko

Pebble Lighter

Elevate her daily smoke break with this ceramic lighter (yes, ceramic). It’s actually a set, as the base is removable and doubles as a matching ashtray that would also make a really cute candle holder.

Mondays

Raku-Fired Carved Vessels

These vessels are made using an ancient Japanese method that includes removing red-hot pieces from the kiln and submerging them in flammable materials like paper and sawdust. The result is a bud vase that will surely earn the best display spot in the house.

Niko June

Kantine Espresso Cup Set

The best part of this gift is when you promise to join her for coffee more often.

Nesugar

Steamer

Tile

Mate (2-Pack)

For the mom who says every other kid or pet’s name before yours.

Ember

Mug 2

With the ability to keep hot beverages hot for up to 90 minutes, the Ember Mug 2 is the perfect drinking vessel for the person who takes forever to drink a cup of anything.

Therabody

TheraFace Pro Device

A thoughtful gift that helps banish TMJ jaw pain, crow’s feet, and any unpredictable blemishes that pop up overnight.

Bang & Olufsen

Beosound A5 Speaker

Looks like a picnic basket, expertly maximizes sound, and even charges up her phone.

GE

LED Night Lights (Two-Pack)

A sorta-stylish set of lights that ensures no stubbed toes in the middle of the night, plus some ambient, gentle guidance in the direction of the bathroom as many times as needed.

Objecto

Personal Foot Heater

It’s not quite foot heater season yet, but when the temperature drops, she’ll be more than pleased that she taught you to be prepared for anything. What we’re really saying is, extra brownie points for the child that gifts her coziness on demand when she really needs it.

Amazon

Kindle Paperwhite

Is it really worth the strain on her back to carry all those paperbacks anyways? Here’s to getting her onboard the digital revolution with the words “now with even larger display.”

Beats

Studio Pro x Kim Kardashian Bluetooth Headphones

Beats headphones in hues that resemble Skims underwear? We’re listening. Now, the only question is: Is your mom more of a “Dune,” “Moon,” or “Earth” person?

Twelve South

Curve Laptop Stand

You might not be able to get her to work less, but you can help her feel better at the end of a really long day. This laptop stand not only cools the computer as it’s in use but also relieves neck and shoulder strain.

LectroFan

Evo White-Noise Sound Machine

This LectroFan is about as close as you can get to actually gifting her a good night’s sleep. There are 22 different fan noises to choose from—who knew white noise could be so diverse?

Ring

Wired Doorbell Pro

Sure, this is ultimately all about home security, but it’s also a great opportunity to leave mom some funny video messages whenever you’re coming and going. From motion sensors and aerial video, this little guy has it all.

Ninja

Premier Series Espresso Machine

She’s made you coffee every morning; do her a favor and make her a cup from this gorgeous, multi-functional espresso machine that turns out coffee shop quality brews.

Apple

TV 4K Wi-Fi (3rd Generation)

There’s a lot of beauty in keeping all of your entertainment options—Spotify, Netflix, FaceTime, Youtube—in one place. In other words, this hub’s sleek design is literal decades ahead of the TV box your mom grew up with.

Simplehuman

Cleanstation

Phones are a not-so-secret breeding ground for germs. This tiny machine sanitizes 99.9% of all the gross stuff you can’t see in just 30 seconds.

Ninja

CREAMi Ice Cream Maker

The brand says this appliance can turn almost anything into ice cream, sorbet, milkshakes, and more, and that’s a wildly exciting promise for everyone except maybe the lactose-intelorant.

Bala

The Weight Kit

A banger of a wellness idea for the mom who’s on the RBG workout program now.

Lululemon

Align 25″ High-Rise Pant with Pockets

One of her favorite workout pant silhouettes, now blessed with pockets.

Nike

Phoenix Waffle Shoes

Sleek, supremely comfy sneakers for the mom who’s been harping about arch support since you were a child.

Manduka

eQua Yoga Hand Towel

Velvety hand and wrist support when her yoga mat is lacking grip, but made from a pliable microfiber that also translates as a beach towel or travel wrap.

Tory Burch

Ruffle Windbreaker

An elegant windbreaker for the woman who’s been a tennis stan since way before the US Open hype, and has the dress code down, too. It’s perfect for chill mornings when she’s working on her serve.

Black Blaze

Black Halo Lava Rock and Joie de Vivre Diffuser Set

Possibly the most interesting scent diffuser in the world, this lava rock gives off moody, Icelandic energy. Set atop its own goth pillar, it’s a great gift for the mom who appreciates a pleasing interior vignette.

Vita Barre

Freestanding Ballet Barre

For the mom who’s ultimately most comfortable exercising at home, you may need to bring the workout to her. This height-adjustable barre set-up is portable so she doesn’t have to turn her home into a ballet studio and will help her pulse it out on the sly.

ShaktiMat

Classic Acupressure Mat

In a single 20-minute session, this tool can ease an entire week of stress and tension. The first few minutes might feel a bit uncomfortable, but the long-term results include deeper sleep, muscle relief, and even sharper focus.

Santa Maria Novella

Lavender Scented Wax Tablets Set

Wooden closet fresheners and mothballs are out, but this luxe wax aromatherapy crafted by Dominican friars is decidedly in. Made in Florence, each tablet consists of flower petals, buds, and leaves that make her closet smell like a heavenly garden (just as, we imagine, these holy men intended).

Comfecto

Acupressure Massage Slippers

These magical shoes serve up a deep tissue massage. Pro: She won’t ask you for foot rubs anymore. Con: It’s likely these will do a better job than you ever did—and she’ll let you know.

Walking Pad

C2 Mini Foldable Walking Treadmill

A trendy desk treadmill, who would’ve thought? Available in five colors, there’s a digital monitor built in that showcases time, speed, calories burned, and steps.

Flamingo Estate

Night Blooming Jasmine and Damask Rose Fragrance Oil

Waking up is a little more fun when it includes a deep breath of damask rose, bergamot, and sandalwood.

Help her be the coolest person on the tennis court (even though she likely already is). This lightweight sling holds up to two raquets, meaning she’ll won’t have to juggle her pre-match coffee anymore.

Hobonichi Techo

Cousin 2025 Planner

Meetings, daydreams, to-do lists, doodles—this is a home for all of it. One particularly thoughtful design detail is how light the grid lines are printed, making it easy to create a custom structure (looking at you, Virgos).

Diptyque

Eau Rose Refillable Eau de Parfum

Here’s to not traveling around with flammable liquids, and, instead, dabbing ourselves with the scent of rose whenever we need to re-up. For the practical mom, the benefits really sell themselves.

Smythson

Mara Croc-Effect Leather Clutch, Passport Holder and Luggage Tag Set

Baggu

Go Pouch Set

There’s a certain thrill to organizing a messy bag, which is where Baggu’s Go Pouch set comes in. It lets the master of compartmentalizing make easy work of sorting things into their appropriate bags.

Ries

Refillable Travel Container Set

Travel containers require some special attention, like spill-proof tops and an easily refillable design. This set tackles that with embossed labels to boot.

Calpak

Medium Clear Cosmetics Case

You don’t know how helpful having a clear cosmetics case can be until you actually try one out. That lipstick can’t hide for long.

Aerotrunk

Compression Packing Cubes (4-Pack)

If mom’s an overpacker (who isn’t?), she’ll love that these packing cubes have a compressive design that net her 50% more space for souvenirs. The mesh design is another perk—never will she have to have to fret about her outfits smelling a bit stuffy.

Susan Alexandra

Harriet Travel Tissue Case

Designer Susan Alexandra was inspired by her grandmother’s lesson of always having tissues on-hand when she designed this impossibly sweet case—made with her signature beads, of course.

Ostrichpillow

Ostrichpillow Go Neck Pillow

This pillow has made it onto the packing lists of many pro travelers at this point, so she won’t be getting any side eye from her seatmates for its design. The washable cover is key for keeping it germ-free, and it squishes waaaay down (60% of its total size, to be exact) for stuffing into a carry-on.

July

Tech Kit

There’s a terrible thing that happens when you toss multiple chargers into a tiny bag (two words: ultimate tangle). This monogrammable hard-shell case has a set of internal compartments to keep things in place.

Clogs

The brand that consistently brings us our favorite utility boots has introduced a pair of clogs that serve as a stylish pair of walking shoes. Gift them with a wild pair of socks for even more brownie points.

Toteme

Bucket Textured-Leather Tote

The waviest, most elegant bucket bag that will force her to edit her essentials before she heads out the door.

& Daughter

Ada Wool Cardigan

Sometimes you just want one brilliantly executed, perfectly fitting, no-frills cardigan. &Daughter makes one of the best in a number of hues, with tapered sleeves, and in a hardy wool knit.

Céline

Triomphe Oval Sunglasses

More than the framed photos and the bouquets…what she really, deeply craves are the Celine glasses. These aren’t the infamous Joan Didion shades, but the round oval silhouette are just what she needs to mask any sleepless nights.

Fazeek

Pink Geo Earrings

These earrings give off adult charm bracelet vibes but they’re definitely subtle enough to wear to a business meeting.

Annika Inez

Small Sloping Hinge Hoops

The crescent shape trumps any old hoop, and like all of Annika Innez’s jewelry, the high shine of the metal really gleams.

Alex Mill

Mayfair Trench

Big Catherine Deneuve energy in one billowy trench. The belted sleeves are a nice touch that keep it from looking overly pedestrian when she’s out and about.

Loeffler Randall

Laith Bucket Bag

Take it from Bottega: Braided leather never goes out of style. This ’70s-leaning variation on the look can be worn multiple ways and even seals up with a drawstring top to keep all of her goods from flying out.

J.Crew

Cashmere Wrap

A cashmere wrap can be a real workhorse—battling mid-flight chills, creating a cozy cocoon for winter reading sessions, or hopping out to run some quick errands. This one’s extra soft and drape-y for keeping cold out, plus comes in five different hues to suit her style.

Everlane

Day Buckle Mary Jane

Is there anything more mom-friendly than a sensible mary jane like this one? We think not: It’s got the strapped-in silhouette, floor-skimming footbed, and elegant velvet fabric to shift gears for work and off-duty fun.

Banana Republic

Brushed-Cashmere Mockneck Sweater

Soft, fuzzy, and with a delightful brushed texture, this is the kind of sweater you find yourself absentmindedly petting throughout the day. And in a mockneck silhouette, it feels classically put-together.

Levi’s

80s Mom Jeans

It may seem too on-the-nose, but mom jeans are for everyone. But especially moms.

Maria Black

Silver Ramen Bracelet

You can’t deny the appeal of a bracelet inspired by what may be one of the greatest comfort foods of all time. Made of recycled sterling silver, it’s a minimalist piece of jewelry with a fun story.

David Yurman

Crossover Trio Six Row Ring

AYR

The Deeper End Button-Up Shirt

Long-sleeve oxfords are classic in the “I don’t know what to wear, but this will always look good” kind of way. It’s effortless, it’s trustworthy, and it’s chic. Just like mom.

Burberry

Beige Silk Diamond Scarf

There’s something transformative about what a jaunty silk scarf, babushka- or bandit-style, can do for a boring outfit. Plus, this pattern is instantly recognizable (in a good way).

Vans

MTE Foundry Crop Puff Hooded Jacket

MoMA

Ourselves: Photographs by Women Artists

If she’s an art lover, this book features all photographs by female artists. It’ll make a great coffee table book in her living room.

Brooklinen

Super Plush Robe

Upgrade her morning routine with a plush robe from Brooklinen. Made of comfortable Turkish cotton, it has hundreds of 5-star reviews for a reason.

Jenny Bird

Instant Lift Earring Backs

The long-term effects of heavy earrings may be wearing her down, but this fix is faster than scheduling surgery.

Little Birds

Lace Bookmark

So she’ll have something to remember you by every time she thumbs through her latest tome.

Galison

Jessica Poundstone Sensing Colors Puzzle

If she’s a sucker for a long, drawn-out challenge, Jessica Poundstone’s gradient puzzle gives her something to test her patience on a rainy day when the kids are away.

Nodpod

Silk and Velvet Weighted Eye Mask

Maison Balzac

Asparagus Candle Set

Few taper candles are as fun as this set. Shaped like asparagus and most importantly unscented [stares directly into camera], they’re the kind of playful accessory that can liven up any tablescape.

Olaplex

Strong Start Haircare Kit

There are some topics you always hear mom complaining about: taxes, the difficulty of nailing down doctor’s appointments, and how dry her hair gets in the wintertime. This set can’t help with the former, but will definitely pitch in with the latter.

Goodee

Silo Bird Feeder

For the mom who delights in watching over her garden, this is the kind of bird feeder that provides the perfect break from every kind of task she’s putting off. As the name suggests, this particular design acts similarly to a grain silo—fill it with seed from the top and watch all of your new feathered friends line up for lunch.

Porta

Dreamer’s Notebook

Everyone needs a space for venting, daydreaming, or planning. This 192-page journal has plenty of space for all of the above.

Mejuri

Dome Figure Ring

It’s not often that you come across a ring which spans the style spectrum, but here we are. Shaped like a sleek V, it’s ideal for stacking with other rings of its kind.

WS Game Company

Scrabble Vintage Bookshelf Edition

It’s a book—wait, it’s actually a board game disguised as a book. This is the kind of magic trick that never gets old as she plucks it from the bookshelf and unveils it to dinner guests for the 104th time.

Union Square & Co.

‘Big Night: Dinners, Parties, and Dinner Parties,’ by Katherine Lewin

There are more ways to throw a dinner party than there are bodegas in New York City (almost). This book is full of tips and tricks for elevating group gatherings, from photo-worthy tablescaping to the perfect martini recipe.

Jennifer Behr

Maillon Bobby Pins

She likely grew up with barettes, but this is the grown-up version of those. The curb chain style is a little edgy but won’t take away from that office-friendly ‘fit she’s got going on.

Cuyana

Duo Zip Wallet

Who doesn’t love a two-in-one special? Cuyana’s wallets comes in a set so she has a long zippered version for everyday use and a smaller one for when she needs to pack lighter—just her ID and credit cards.

Larroudé

x Lingua Franca Customizable Sleeper Slippers

Mejuri

Jewelry Box

A great-looking jewelry box for all of her treasures and tiny keepsakes that also makes for a winning personalized gift if you throw a monogram on there.

Papier

Gingham Days Recipe Journal

One of the most precious things you can possibly inherit are the recipes that mom keeps fresh off the dome. Here’s a handy place for her to store all her secrets on flavors, spices, and techniques (and for you to take copious notes from).

July Rose Jewelry

Heirloom Nameplate Necklace

Given name, nickname, or simply “mom,” this personalizable nameplate necklace is one for the ages. Available in silver or gold, it’s even more sentimental if you pony up and get a matching one.

Bottega Veneta

Personalized Intrecciato Fold Wallet

A wallet is, well, a wallet, but one from Bottega sets the bar incredibly high. Add her initials or a simple “ilu” to remind her how much she means to you. And don’t forget to compliment it every time she takes you out to lunch.
