Life is busy — I’m a mom! So, I’m doing all of my Mother’s Day shopping for the half-dozen mom figures in my blended family on Amazon. With all the digging I did to find gifts they’ll love and not toss in a cupboard, I figured it’s only fair that I share. Here’s what I found:
1. EVER2000 Custom Name Necklace, 18K Gold Plated (starting at $14)
Heads-up: This gold nameplate necklace is the only gift that’s not a two-day Prime-delivery option on this list (instead, it’s about 2 weeks out) — but I had to include it because it’s dope as hell (and also what I got for myself). Put your kid’s name on it — ‘cause we all know who really buys the gifts in the family.
2. Stanley Quencher H2.0 FlowState Tumbler ($45)
Don’t hate the player, hate the game. Yep, these things are everywhere, but if your mom digs trends — or just loves her drinks — than Stanley is her jam. This stainless steel, double-wall vacuum-insulated tumbler costs a pretty penny but should last for years to come.
3. Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair ($75)
You’ve heard me say it before: I swear by this night serum by Estee Lauder. I also think it’s the perfect luxury gift for Mom (or yourself!) to celebrate her beauty in more ways than one.
4. BRONAX Pillow Slippers ($20)
Who doesn’t want to walk on clouds? These affordable, durable house slippers are everything for mom who wants a little cushion under her soles at home — or, let’s be honest, for light strolls around the neighborhood.
5. LEGO Icons Succulents ($40)
I LOVE this LEGO set and ordered it for my son’s grandma. It’s the perfect gift for Nanas who have everything and only want more quality time with their grandkids. They can sit at the table and work on the long-lasting bouquet together — her perfect Mother’s Day.
6. Mama-to-bruh T-shirt ($15-$20)
Any mom with a tween boy knows this joke! First, you were “mama,” then when he could actually talk, and you were “mommy.” That word got abbreviated to “mom,” and now — without any warning! — you’re a “bruh.” I ordered it — you should, too!
7. Ninja Air Fryer ($80)
My girlfriend swears by this air fryer as the way to cook in confidence. From veggies to chicken nuggets, this puppy takes the guesswork out of dinner and is the perfect kitchen companion for chef-moms and not-so-culinary moms (me!) alike.
8. Michael Kors sunglasses
I mean, hello, fashion! I bought these for my partner’s mom, and she LOVED them. These classic, oversized cat-eye frames are flattering to nearly every face (which is why they’re on here!), so surprising her with a fabulous pair of sunnies will certainly make her day — and year.
9. Gold Metal Natural Branch, 5X7 ($15)
If you want a gold-medal win this year, buy this gorgeous gold metal frame, send it to your house, and package it with an old or new pic (you can print pics in a day from your phone at Walgreens) or a drawing by your kids. She’ll love it — promise.
10. Women’s Soft Pjs Lounge Set ($29)
My girlfriend gifts her mom and sisters PJs every Mother’s Day, and I think it’s the sweetest gift. Who doesn’t love a fresh pair of jammies to kick off the warm season? These lounge sets come in a variety of patterns and sizes so all the moms you love can relax in style.
11. LA Jolie Muse soy candles ($28)
If Mom likes candles, she’ll love these pretty-packaged soy options from Le Jolie Muse. They come in a variety of fragrances so you’re sure to find one that suits her home.
12. Ryka Womens Devotion X Walking Shoe ($80)
Walking is SO, so important for women our mom’s age — and women our age! These highly-rated sneakers by Ryka are a perfect new pair for Spring, and come in cute color-combos to boot!
13. Versace 3-piece mini-perfumes ($23)
Gifting fragrances can be tricky. Still, I trust that this set of Versace mini-perfumes is a safe bet for Moms who love to smell divine. I gifted my mom Crystal, could bathe in Noir, and could eat up anyone wearing Diamond. If I had to guess, she’ll love them, too.
14. PUDDING CABIN Cat Mom figurine & ring holder ($17)
I mean, how cute is this? Cat moms will adore this figurine and ring holder, perfect for a vanity, next to the sink, or on a shelf to express her feline love.
15. “Signs: The Secret Language of the Universe” ($12)
Psychic medium Laura Lynne Jackson wrote this incredible book about signs from people who have passed. I’ve gifted it to many women (my mom, my partner’s mom, and my friends), and I couldn’t put it down myself. If you or Mom are believers in signs from the other side, you won’t be able to put this down.
16. Necklace for mom who lost her baby ($40)
For mothers who lost their child during their pregnancy, this necklace is a beautiful way to celebrate baby’s life and include Mom in a way that honors her experience.
17. Fesciory Inspirational Bracelets ($10)
These affordable bracelets come in all sorts of inspirational sayings that Mom will love. (I bought one for my mom a year ago, and she never took it off!) Tip: Send it to yourself and rewrap it to look even more impressive!
18. Soopau Wind Chimes for Mom in heaven ($30)
If Mom’s in heaven, feeling close to her means so much more. This gentle wind chime is a beautiful way to celebrate her life and remind yourself that she’s still near.
19. Fitbit Inspire 3 Health &-Fitness-Tracker ($100)
My mom and aunt LOVE their Fitbits. These fitness trackers are easy to use (a good alternative to an Apple Watch) and awesome for setting walking goals, Plus, they’re cute and comfortable to wear, too!
20. Godiva Dark Chocolate Truffles ($35)
If Mom loves chocolate, this is an easy win. There’s really nothing more enjoyable than a box of luxury dark chocolates to last all week (if she’s lucky!).
21. Amazon Echo Pop ($20)
“Alexa, play The Beatles!” Mom will love upgrading her home with a simple solution (be sure to set up the account for her!) to music, weather, and anything else she wants to ask her new friend.
22. Best Dog Mom Candle ($17)
I mean, can this say anymore? Almost every dog mom I know would say they’re the f-ing best (myself included!), so gift her with this soy, lavender candle for her chill time with Buddy.
23. Shiatsu Neck and Back Massager ($50)
I’m obsessed with this thing and have bought it for a few moms already! You can put your arms in the little holes, which adds a little pressure, and the massage balls and heated option to the rest.
24. AncestryDNA Genetic Test Kit ($40, limited time deal)
What better way to celebrate your lineage than with a DNA kit? With a simple saliva sample, you and Mom can discover genetic relatives and expand your genealogy research all over the globe.
25. Freshcut Paper Pop-Up Cards ($10-13)
If you're a card kind of GAL, Mom will LOVE this unique pop-up card! Freshcut offers various bouquets and plants so you’re sure to find a style that suits her style!
Happy Mother’s Day!
