Moms have many interests, whether they’re avid fitness buffs, gardeners, crafters, sports fans, or book worms; accordingly, the best gifts for Mom are ones that show your appreciation—and also complement her varied interests.
With Mother’s Day closing in (May 8), we’re here to help you get your online shopping list in order. Below, we’ve assembled a gift guide for the many types of moms in the world: fastidious organizers, dessert enthusiasts, outdoorsy moms always on the go, new moms who deserve a minute, book-loving moms, selective mothers-in-law, and more. Our top Mother’s Day gifts range from comfy bathrobes, essential oil diffusers, fitness gadgets, and wine to self-care gift boxes and gift baskets, subscription boxes, and flowers. And you can find many of these fantastic gifts for mom at retailers such as Nordstrom, Etsy, Amazon, Anthropologie, Harry & David, and Uncommon Goods.
We suggest shopping sooner rather than later, as time has a way of getting away from us (plus, there are still shipping delays). Of course, here’s a reminder that it doesn’t have to be Mother’s Day, a birthday, or holiday season to send your best friend a little something that lets her know just how special she is to you. In fact, it’s the surprise gifts for Mom that sometimes make the best gifts of all.
