I’ve done the impossible and wrangled a few ideas out of her, and there’s no way I’m gatekeeping them. (You’re welcome).

I wear the foodie badge loud and proud, and that's all thanks to my mom — so a gift that would elevate her dishes and snacks was a no-brainer. She doesn't consider herself a chef (HARD disagree), and likes the idea of skipping the whole ~oil-infusion~ step and jumping straight into the "zhuzhing up some pasta primavera" step. Y'all, she's talking about making some fresh hummus with these... so it's a gift for her that's also a gift for me. 🙂‍↕️ 

The kit comes in a ready-to-gift box and includes the "Awake" and "Ardor Chili" flavored olive oils, plus two brushed gold stainless steel spouts. 

Promising review (for Ardor Chili flavor): "We are OBSESSED! Everything about their products are amazing. We bought the chili oil for ourselves and gift boxes for family over the holidays. It tastes wonderful and feels like such a treat over avocado toast, in salads, and with bread. The packaging is also beautiful. We 100% will be buying again for ourselves and as gifts for friends." —2022Analisa

Shipping info: Estimated shipping within 3–5 business days. Express and Next-Day shipping also available with an extra cost. 

"It sucks, you can tell them I said it sucks" — my mom, talking about what it's like to get distracted by work or chores and coming back to sip a cold coffee. She uses hers mainly while she's working from home, but hinted very strongly about wanting another one for next to the couch. 👀 

Promising review: "This works great. I bought it for my mom and it keeps her hot drinks hot or warm, however she likes it. It doesn't take up a lot of space so she can take it to the office or the living area and her drink stays warm. It's one of those gift you didn't know you wanted until you have one. It works with her larger coffee mugs or her smaller mugs for tea. The cord is a good length for her, some might want it longer but in all a good product. She uses it pretty regularly a few times a week or more and no issues, and she's had it for four months." —H.P.

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in three colors). 

Of all the lovely, wonderful, amazing qualities I inherited from my mom (including humility), a green thumb/any sort of knowledge of plants was not one of them — so I'm always a bit iffy about buying her one she won't love. Luckily for me, this was a hit! She loves the way it adds to the ~nature aesthetic~ of her shelves (unlike the toothpicks, wire hangers, and string she's used in the past), and as her plant bb, Pati, grows, the curved design can be used to support her weight! 

Treleaf is a woman-owned small biz created by Zeba Parker, who designs nature-inspired trellises and plant accessories. 

Promising review: "Absolutely beautiful! My daughter has a stunning plant collection and this gift suited her perfectly. She adores it! I will definitely be purchasing more in the near future. Packaging was thoughtful and shipping was quick. Thanks for such a lovely and really cool gift idea!" —Kathleen J. 

Shipping info (Treleaf): Orders processed within 3–5 business days and estimated shipping between 5–8 business days. Express shipping also available with an extra cost. 

Get it from Amazon or from Treleaf for $45+ (available in two sizes; and check out their other plant accessories, including modular trellises, wall mounted trellises, and coasters). 

My mom and I are no strangers to perusing Costco's seasonal selection of pillows, and have gotten excited over squishing what we thought was *the one*, only to be disappointed again and again. She likes that a custom pillow eliminates that trial-and-error phase, plus it saves you lots of money in the long run! 

Your giftee will receive a code to customize their pillow. After filling out a three-minute questionnaire about their body stats, sleeping preferences, and positions, the pillow is handmade in LA and delivered for a 125-night trial. If they're not obsessed, it can be returned for adjustments or a refund. 

Promising review: "My husband got me a gift certificate for Christmas. I was wondering what he was thinking, getting me a pillow as a gift?? But it was the best gift he's gotten me. I immediately started steeping so much better and was able to get rid of the many pillows I had to use to get comfortable. I told him he needs one now. Love it!" —BingoP

Shipping info: There are two delivery options available: a digital voucher that can be sent instantly or scheduled, or a handwritten card with a custom message and estimated delivery within 2–5 business days. 

Get it from Pluto for $139+ (available in two sizes and with an optional pillowcase for an extra $20). 

I'm not sure when the last time my mom had to buy herself a small hand lotion was, because my sister and I make it our personal duty to keep her stocked up! As someone with dryer skin who uses and washes her hands a lot, my mom likes keeping these at her desk and in her purse so she can reapply on the go. She also likes these multi-packs because odds are at least one will get lost in the ether. 

The scents include shea, almond, and lavender. 

Promising review: "I love this hand cream set from L'Occitane. My favorite is either the almond or the lavender hand cream, but they're all moisturizing and help my dry hands. The scents are nice and they feel long-lasting. They're a good size to sample or gift, and they're a good value for the price! I've ordered this for myself and for family — everyone who has tried it loves it." —sarah.m.

Get a pack of three from Amazon for $33.

I think one of my mom's biggest dreams might be to have Tan France from Queer Eye transform her closet, buttt I'm not exactly sure how to make that happen, so this is the next best thing! My mom loves the idea of wearing brighter colors and switching up her style, but says she struggles to put pieces together. To her, this is one of those gifts that wouldn't go to waste, because she's super curious to see which pieces a stylist would pick for her, and she thinks that trying on clothes she would never reach for but ends up loving sounds exciting! 

You'll choose a credit amount for the card to cover the styling fee ($20) and any items your giftee may want to keep (shipping and returns are always free). After the gift card lands in their inbox, they'll be walked through a short quiz and matched with a personal stylist who will select seven perfect pieces based on their taste, fit, and budget. Your giftee will have five days to try them on, then can keep what they love and return or exchange the rest!  

Shipping info: Digital vouchers can be sent instantly or scheduled for a future date. 

Get it from Wantable starting at $25+ (pre-set or custom amounts available).

What's the secret to nailing a gift your mom will love? Upgrading something they use every day! My mom's morning routine usually consists of rushing around the house to prep her coffee while waiting for her lotion to sink in, and she says a fresh, fluffy upgrade would be very welcome. She swears by them so much she converted me to the robe life, so whether your mom has a "GO GO GO" morning routine or prefers a relaxing evening shower, they'll probably loooove having the freedom to move around without their towel falling down — and the fact that it has pockets, too! 

Lots of reviewers size up for that extra cozy feel and appreciate that even after washing, the robe still feels brand-new.

Promising reviews: "This robe is incredible. Perfectly soft, and just the right amount of weight to be warm but not too heavy. I especially love that the sleeves slightly taper; I wear robes when I’m moving around in the morning, and burned the sleeve on my last one. Or rather, it melted on the burner! This robe is pure cotton, no polyester plastic garbage, and the sleeves don’t get in the way. Pockets hold a phone, glasses, whatever I need to get out of my hands. It’s pretty close to perfect!" —AbbyT

"Got it for Mother’s Day and my mom LOVES it! She doesn’t get too hot, it’s cozy, and such high quality." —Emma P. 

Shipping info (Brooklinen): Estimated shipping within 3–5 business days. Premium, Expedited, and Rush shipping also available with an extra cost. 

Get it from Brooklinen for $118.15+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 12 colors) or from Amazon for $139+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and five colors). 

I own the Renaissance Fine Art Mini Puzzle Set (that's me putting the puzzle together!), and as someone who loves The Creation of Adam, my mom was immediately obsessed. She's not a huge puzzler, so she says the mini size is perfect because it doesn't take up too much space or time, but is still challenging enough to be fun. She's also saying it would be nice to build it with whoever gave it to her, so it's a win/win! 

Shipping info (Nautilus Puzzle): Estimated shipping within 8–10 business days. Priority, Express, Second-Day, and Next-Day shipping also available with an extra cost. 

Get it from Nautilus Puzzle for $17.95 (and check out the *many* other designs available including in categories like mini, fine art, photography, and contemporary). 

Btw, there are also a few designs available on Amazon. 

Honestly, I think this is what my mom wants most this year, because she was sure to remind me to throw one in this post (hint = received). We own a massage gun, but it's difficult to really get into your shoulder when nobody else is around, and she thinks this'll feel wayyyy more relaxing. She can sit back, enjoy the kneading, and start watching season one of The Testament (eeee!). 

Promising review: "I received this item as a Mother's Day gift from my daughter, and I am so impressed! I have back and leg pain, and this little device really helps to relieve that pain. I use it on my lower, mid, and upper back, and even up around my neck, though it's pretty intense up there. I also use it on my legs and feet. My favorite aspect of this massager is that you can use it in the car. I plug it into the adapter, and long car rides become much more tolerable. What a helpful gift! I love it!" —MusicDoc

Get it from Amazon for $69.95 (available in four colors).

I'm 100% certain that if I bought this for my mom, I would find her snoozing away on the couch with it on after work. She can't stop imagining how soothing it would feel to wear it after a long day of staring at the screen, and is also very intrigued by the reviewers saying it helps with their headaches. 👀 

This one's available in a floral, "Best Mom Ever" style — so your mama never forgets it! 

Promising review: "This was a gift from my husband that I definitely didn't know I needed. I thought it was pretty cool when I opened my gift but when I tell you I had no idea, I definitely mean that. First off I now use this several times a day and every night to put me to sleep. If I feel stressed they are on. If I just want to refresh they are on. This will be my new go-to gift for every new mom. I also know a few people who will get these for Christmas. Anyone would love them. I love that I can turn the heat off because I don't always want that on." —Rusticglamlife

Get it from Amazon for $59.99 (available in three styles and 13 colors). 

My mom has a huuuge collection of photos saved in USBs and her online drive, and says this would be an amazing way to re-visit the ones she never gets to see. In her words, she'll get to take a nice trip down memory lane and remember the good times she's had, and in a way, seeing those will get her excited to take more pictures and make more memories. (How sweet, I love her so much. 😭)

These frames are super easy to set up, just upload images and up to 30-second videos (it has a built-in speaker to support any with sound) into the app and they'll automatically display on your frame — you can even add captions if you'd like! You can also invite family members to upload images through the app from wherever they are.

Promising review: "Easily one of the best gifts I’ve ever gotten! And given! Everyone in my family has them and loves them! I have access to upload photos to the grandparents’ frames of the kids so they don’t have to worry about trying to upload or figure anything out. It’s so easy to use! And we love just getting to watch them change throughout the day. My daughters even love to watch it (especially because it plays videos too!). Great quality! Have never had problems with functionality or connectivity. Our charging cord did die out on us after about a year and half. But I contacted the company and they sent a new cord free in just a couple of days! Great customer service!" —Carly Baxa

Get it from Amazon for $149+ (available in 10-, 12-, or 15-inch frames, in black or white, and with or without a mat border). 

Look, my mom spends all of spring and fall equipped with her trusty Zyrtec, so if I can give her something that'll *literally* help her breathe easier, I'm going to do it. We live in a super dusty, windy area so this almost feels like a must for her, and she loves the idea of using it in the morning to get a fresh, mucus-free start to her day. 

Note that this does come with a five-piece stainless steel tool kit as well, but please remind your giftee to be careful if performing extractions on themselves as these can injure skin if not used properly. 

Promising review: "I absolutely love this product. I purchased it when I was congested because I wanted to use steam to break up congestion. This steamer felt amazing. It definitely helped with my congestion and it opened up my pores too. I used the skin tool kit and that worked great as well. I love that this comes with so many settings including a humidifier and towel warmer as well. This was an absolute game changer for me and I highly recommend it." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $39.95 (available in three colors). 

"Olives are so good when you don't have someone in your ear telling you they're not," — my mom, probably. I'M SORRY my palate isn't as refined as yours, and please consider one of these my formal apology for every negative word I've ever spoken. In all seriousness, my mom loves local market-style snacks and charcuteries, and I genuinely saw her eyes light up as soon as she saw this, so safe to say it's snacky mom-approved. 

The kit includes garlic cheese and cheddar cheese from Mountain View Farms, basil and garlic olives, and lemon and rosemary olives by Oloves, hot pepper jelly by New England Cranberry, raspberry honey mustard by Terrapin Ridge Farms, and olive oil and sel gris organic flatbread crackers by Rustic Bakery. 

Promising review: "I ordered this for my mom, and it came right on time, the day I requested delivery. She loved everything in it and said it was all fresh and delicious! Would definitely recommend and order again!" —Mikayla

Shipping Info: Various delivery dates available, with an extra charge for delivery on May 2 and 9. 

Get it from Gourmet Gift Baskets for $59.99 (also available with a customized greeting card for an extra $4.99). 

This has *transformed* my mom's coffee game! She was always hopping between reusable K-cups, pour-overs, and a French press, and never liked how messy each one felt (I can confirm coffee grounds always ended up all over the counter and sink). She's obsessed with the way this lil' machine contains all the grounds it makes in one compartment, making it easy to dump into the trash or use as fertilizer. She'd also really like me to emphasize the time 👏 it 👏 saves. 👏  Instead of waiting for her water to boil and creating her coffee by hand, a few presses of the dial on the side and she's got her cafecito at the style and strength she likes! (Which is very important for someone who is always rushing in the morning. I'm sorry, Mom, it's true, and I love you anyway.) 

Promising review: "My dad loved the automatic espresso machine he used at a hotel in Belgium. He talked about it for weeks. We decided to find something similar here in the states. We purchased a Demi for Christmas and have been very happy with our choice. We can mix it up and make an endless combination of drinks, and we were also able to program it so that he gets his same reliable double espresso with the lovely crema on top that he loves every morning. It's an added bonus that the forest green color mathces their kitchen cabinetry exactly. It is one of the best gifts we have purchased for him and I'm thinking of purchasing one for our home." —Holly J. 

Shipping info (Terra Kaffe): Estimated shipping within 3–5 business days. Expedited shipping also available with an extra cost. 

Get it from Amazon or from Terra Kaffe for $795 (available in four colors and with a coffee subscription on Terra Kaffe). 

Okay, so my mom has been wanting to get into reading physical books again, but also appreciates that this subscription has the option for audiobooks, too! She says it's perfect for busier months when you won't have much time to sit down and read, but you can still make tedious chores go by faster by listening to a story. I'll probably save this gift idea for her birthday, though, because I can't let her get distracted from her one true mission: finishing up Sunrise on the Reaping so she can get excited about the trailer with me!! 

After your giftee redeems their credits, they have the option to choose from a list of hardcover or audiobook selections available that month. If more than one book is calling their name, they can redeem more than one credit, and if none of the options are calling to them, the credits will roll over for future use. Learn more about this subscription box.

Shipping info: There are three delivery options available: a printable card sent to your email (instant), a schedulable email (great for long-distance gifting), or a luxe card sent to the address of your choosing. Estimated delivery for the luxe card is between 5–7 days. 

Get a three-book membership for $59.99 (also available as a six-book for $99.99 where you can save $10 with code MOMTIME10, or a 12-book for $199.99 where you can save $30 with code KNOWSBEST30). 

My mom likes the idea of having a creative, hands-on project to work on when she gets tired of playing Solitaire on her phone. As someone who doesn't build Legos, she also likes that it has clear instructions and is more fun than it is complicated. Plus, it's colorful! 

Check out this viral TikTok of the Lego set in action. 

Promising review: "Buy this for anyone in your life who loves gardening and you are guaranteed to see their face light up when they open it up. Got it for my mom on her birthday and she thought it was the coolest gift ever." —Greg

Get it from Amazon for $47.99 — and check out the entire Lego Botanicals collection!

My mom describes the following as her go-tos during a cozy night-in: her phone, the TV remote, a club soda with lime, and a salty and sweet snack. Knowing there's a chance she could get everything situated on this gizmo in the kitchen, then take it to the couch in one go, meant this went straight on her wish list. Also, the fact that it'll keep the remote FROM FALLING BETWEEN THE CUSHIONS (ahem) was a bonus, too. 

Check out a TikTok of the Cup Cozy Deluxe Pillow in action.

Cup Cozy Pillow is a small business that specializes in family-friendly snack and drink organizers. 

Promising review: "Bought this as a Christmas gift for my dad, and he cannot stop saying enough good things about it. It holds many different sizes of cups and glasses, as well as remote controls, small snack bowls, etc. It's super convenient and barely moves at all...even when a seven pound dog tries to use it as a pillow. Will be buying myself one very soon." —Padooling

Get the square, five-hole style from Amazon for $34.99 (available in seven colors) and the rectangular, three-hole style for $29.99 (available in nine colors). 

I'm not saying it's a competition or anything... but I'm going to have to give the award for Comfiest Hugs In The World to my mom. 🏆 Yes, it's probably because she's my favorite person ever, but it's also because she seriously has the *softest* skin, and that's all thanks to the oils she lathers on after her shower. She likes that they dry faster than lotions, and says a seasonal one like this would feel like a nice treat in her routine! 

Promising review: "LOVE this stuff! I use this daily after the shower, the scent smells amazing! It also leaves your skin feeling moisturized and fresh! The pump works great, only takes a couple of pumps to get all you need!" —Amy

Get it from Amazon for $23 (also available in seven other scents). 

Psst — you could even pair this with their body butter! 

If there's one thing I've learned from my mom (okay, one of many), it's that electric kettles are a non-negotiable in a kitchen. She has one dedicated to boiling water for her tea and coffee, but it's noooothing like this beauty. She said this would feel like a huge upgrade because a thin nozzle = more control over her pour and less splashing! "And it's pretty," she said — which never hurts. 

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Amanda Davis owns one and loves it: "I've been using my Fellow kettle for yeaaars now (that's mine above on the right!), and it's honestly heaven-sent. Easy coffee in the morning, matcha in the afternoon, and tea before bed. It heats up very quickly, the stainless steel interior makes it easy to clean, and it just looks really sleek on my kitchen counter. All you need to do is add water and place the kettle on the included base, press the 'on' button, set your desired temperature on the LCD screen (it goes up to 212 degrees F), and it heats up in *seconds*. It can also keep the water hot for up to an hour which is extremely convenient for when you know you'll be back for more in a short period of time. TL;DR: It's a must for anyone who loves making hot beverages at home!" 

Promising review: "This was one of the best purchases I have made. I would never have guessed how much precise temperature control could elevate a cup of pour-over or a pot of French press coffee (and this kettle has the precision down). The system is simple to use, the heating time is extremely fast and the handle and spout design really do yield a super easy pour." —David R. 

Get it from Amazon for $179.95+ (available in eight colors and three models). 

My mom made a very compelling case for this one: No more stinky mat. If that's not enough, she also says that there's nothing worse than stepping onto a mat and feeling the dirt and hair stick to your feet. Instead of going through the hassle of vacuuming or throwing it in the wash, you can just sweep any debris off! 

Promising review: "Two weeks ago, I didn’t even know stone bath mats existed! But wow! What a game changer! I’m one of those people that avoids my cloth bath mat when it’s wet. Because eww! Now, I can take a shower right after my husband and not have to worry about stepping on a wet bath mat. The stone absorbs the water so fast! Can’t wait to upgrade my other bathroom mats." —Angela

Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (also available in a two-pack, ya know, in case you want to snag one for yourself). 

My mom, sister, and I had a Girls' Night where we did face masks and watched K-Pop Demon Hunters, and my mom has been really enjoying incorporating them into her routine more frequently since then! Compared to masks you leave on for 20 minutes, she likes the overnight options because it feels like they really sink into her skin and work their ✨  magic. ✨ And since she's sleeping, there's zero chance that someone will try and make her laugh and cause the mask to slip or crack — which she very pointedly mentioned. I'm not sorry. 

Check out a TikTok of the Biodance mask in action.

Promising reviews: "Seen these everywhere on social media and wanted to try. My husband got them for me for Mother’s Day and I absolutely love them. I have extremely sensitive skin and this hydrated my skin very well and kept it glowing all day. My husband even complimented how great my skin looked. Highly recommend!" —Michael

"Oh…my god…. 🤯 No scent. It starts milky white and turns clear. I left it on overnight, woke up, and I was shook!! Pores? Where? Dry patch? Where? Fine wrinkles? Whheeerrrrrre??? I put it on over my lips as well, and it almost looked like I had filler. It was so plump! 10/10 recommend. Holy grail of face masks <3" —Kichi

Get a pack of four from Amazon for $19 (also available in a pack of 16 and three other formulas). 

I gifted the "Wild About U" bouquet to my grandma and she loved it — eight months later and she actually still has the succulents and leafy stems that came with her arrangement! I had never ordered online flowers before, but was so impressed with how safely they came packaged, and the blooms themselves were beautiful. All I had to do was pop the arrangement into the vase, and voilà, it was ready for gifting! Even my mom, who has always leaned more towards plants over flowers, loves how different these look from ones in the store, and says that knowing someone saw an arrangement and thought of her makes her feel extra special and loved. (Hint hint, me.) 

Shipping Info (Bouqs): Delivery dates available between May 4–8, or May 9 for an extra charge). 

Get it from Bouqs for $49+ (available in three sizes and optional vases; and check out the other Mother's Day arrangements, including collabs with Lego Botanicals, Lands' End, and Apotheke). 

My mom is already envisioning this next to all her bookshelf plants and is talking about how much more relaxed she would feel hearing it trickle while she's winding down, sooo y'all know what I need to do. (*Adds to cart*).  

Promising review: "Awesome addition to my workspace environment. I've tried several fountains so far. This one is awesome, the pump is quiet, as is the water, it simply provides a really nice environmental impact on my workspace. I run it up to eight hours in a day, use distilled water only and clean it periodically, and it's running just like new after several weeks. Not all of the fountains that I've tried work quite so well, I'm impressed and happy with this purchase. Six-month update: If I could give this thing 6 stars, I would. It runs so quiet, and I nearly let it go dry last weekend *(three-day weekend and forgot to turn it off...) — once I filled it up again it was just as quiet as ever. I'm beyond impressed. Still cleaning it periodically and using only distilled water." —Rod_CdA

Get it from Amazon for $34 (available in a gold and silver style).

This isn't something that my mom would buy herself, but she'd love the convenience and has already begun daydreaming about the world of possibilities spreadable butter opens up. She's talking butter on warmed tortillas or a freshly toasted brioche, or even paired with cinnamon sugar and enjoyed with a cafecito... 🤤. Our moms deserve all these things and more! 

Promising review: "Love this — almost feels vintage. Good quality, thick and beautiful design. Would buy again!" —Kelsey87
