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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
