30+ Mother’s Day gifts for the women in your life (or you!)

With a baseball cap this pretty, she might even skip hair washing on purpose. The sweet Rifle Paper Co. florals go with everything!

Made by hand in Chicago, the brass Mama ring from Afrohemien is as fierce as she is. The chunky design is exactly the kind of statement piece we never want to take off–and never have to either.

There are a bazillion bougie candles out there to choose from, so when we find one that’s so definitively out of this world, it’s almost a relief. (Decision fatigue is real.) LA-based Flamingo Estate’s best-selling Roma Heirloom Tomato Candle is fresh, uplifting and totally unexpected. It’s like standing in the garden on a warm summer night, stars ablaze above, dewy earth below. It’s grounding in the most elemental way and as fit for kitchen counters as it is bedside tables. Basically we just want to bask in this particular smell from now until forever, thank you.

We love this dainty nameplate from Tiny Tags for its simplicity. This piece can be layered or worn alone, making it the perfect everyday accessory for mamas of all styles.

From marathon training to hot girl walks, Flipbelt is a top-notch accessory. The stretchy, 360º design easily holds essentials like your phone, a snack, a water bottle or keys so you can get your steps in hands-free. It doesn’t bounce around or slip down, leaving you to think about nothing but hitting the pavement. (And, you know all the other things swirling that sent you out for a run in the first place.)

We’re longtime fans of the minimalist ceramic diffusers from Vitruvi, but let’s be honest–breakable decor isn’t always an option with little ones. Luckily there’s now a stress-free and equally relaxing aromatherapy experience in the Glow. Designed with a similarly chic aesthetic the ultrasonic diffuser is made with durable recycled plastic and offers the added option of soft light. The perfect bedside companion for reading exactly three pages before dropping her book directly on her face.

Art is always a favorite Mother’s Day gift to give or receive, but that doesn’t mean it has to be the kind that simply adorns a wall or sits perched on a shelf. To wit, we’ve recently fallen in love with the stunning throw blankets from Long Island-based Biquette. Actually, let’s call them functional artwork. The bold “Grow,” which feels inherently maternal, is designed by artist Charlotte Ager and looks beautiful draped on a bed or couch. But let’s be honest–it’s so cozy she’ll just want to cocoon herself in it as often as possible. To make it even more special, each one is made to order and knit in one of New York’s last knitting mills from a blend of sustainable natural fibers. Does all that sound too precious? Don’t worry. She can still easily toss it in the washing machine when one of her angels smears lord knows what all over it.

There is nothing quite like fresh flowers. Farmgirl’s arrangements are fresh, modern, and stunning, and what you see is what you get. (Let’s just say last year my mother sent me daily photo updates as hers became even more magnificent.) And while the entire Mother’s Day Collection is absolutely stunning, we’re particularly smitten with the With Heart bouquet. For each arrangement sold, Farmgirl donates $10 to support Every Mother Counts to assist in their mission of achieving equitable maternity care for every mother, everywhere.

I admit I’m personally on a real vanilla kick right now, but the thing is, it’s comforting and cozy and frankly (when done right) sexy AF. Case in point, the divine experience that is Cyklar’s Vanilla Verve Vitamin C Body Oil. The scent is deep and creamy without being cloying but it’s the silky softness it leaves behind which has me hooked. It sinks in nicely and thanks to Vitamin C, helps to brighten skin as well as moisturize. I love dousing myself after a shower and running their body contour tool over my thighs and belly to help with circulation before hopping into bed. Dreamy!

Gorgeous sparkle with a side of ethical sustainability? Yes please. The obsession-worthy Heart Diamond Dewdrop Pendant from Plum Diamonds is a piece she’ll put on and never take off. A delicate lab grown bezel diamond heart on a dainty 14k gold chain, it literally goes with everything from lounge sets to ball gowns. (Not that she’s wearing too many of those, but you get the point.) From the quality and design to the thoughtful packaging, the woman-founded, woman-led company knows bling inside and out and it definitely shows.

Because of my profession (and who I am as a person), I’ve tested an unholy amount of sex toys over the years. And let me just say, if the words that come out of my mouth when I use this one are any indication, it is the holiest thing I own. I swear I’ve seen colors that don’t exist elsewhere within time and space and the feeling after is nothing short of euphoric. The bonus? The included cover makes it super discreet and travel-ready and it’s perfectly sized for both solo and partnered seshes.

As my facialist tells me, masking is key to your skin’s health–and trust me, I’ve tried more than my fair share in my quest to unlock it. Only one has ever sent me to my group text to tell everyone they need to buy it STAT. Environ’s Intensive Revival Cream Mask. The AHA-powered gel is dubbed a “facelift in a jar,” and made my skin notably softer the very first time I used it. It’s hydrating and plumping and best of all, it doesn’t irritate or sting in the slightest. The only downside to gifting it is she’ll become addicted to the glow!

A super cute sandal that feels like yoga pants for your feet? Sign her up. The Sling ST from the always comfy Sanuk pairs with everything from summer dresses to jeans and tee shirts–which is perfect since she’ll never want to take them off.

Take her skincare routine to the next level with this power-packed set from NūFace. The small but mighty Mini+ uses microcurrent to tone, lift and contour the skin and facial muscles to a degree that with consistent use, rivals much pricier treatments. Personally, I was little skeptical, but looking at the before and after photos in just a single session, I was sold. Along with the easy-to-use app, it’s a fantastic tool to help de-puff and give that fresh-faced look in just a few minutes each day.

Luxurious but comfy, the Pima cotton PJ set from Petite Plume will make her feel just the right amount of spoiled (and adored). The fabric is incredibly soft and high-end but still cool and breathable, which truth be told, may ruin her ability to wear any other pajamas ever again. And if you really want to earn some bonus points, personalize them with a monogram!

Be still our beating hearts. This minimalist beauty is more than just a pretty bauble. Inspired by the parable that suggests everyone should carry two notes in their pockets–one for times of discouragement that reads, “I am the rock on which this world stands. Everything revolves around what I choose to be”  and one for times that require humility stating, ““I am nothing but a grain of sand. Everything in the world is greater than me.”–the 14K gold ring is is set with a diamond in each side. Slide it to the large baguette diamond when you need to feel your power, and flip it to the small round diamond when you need a bit of grounding.

As someone with a passion for skincare who has tried countless brands over the years, it takes a lot to earn a permanent spot in my line up. That said, True Botanicals has not one, but three I absolutely swear by for a healthy radiant glow: the luxe Ginger Turmeric Cleansing Balm to cleanse without stripping, Chebula Active Serum to hydrate and even tone, and the Renew Pure Radiance Oil to nourish and lock in moisture. These clinically-trialed, botanical formulas feel like a little love letter to my face–from the natural grounding scents to the undeniable results–and packaged too beautifully to tuck in a cabinet.

If anyone needs their beauty sleep, it’s a mama. Ultra-pampering, this gift gives from Brooklinen will help her sleep better thanks to the breathable and soft-as-butter mulberry silk eye mask and pillowcase. Bonus: It’s also super gentle on both skin and hair.

Spending a bazillion dollars on a post pilates juice is cool and all, but what about  making your own? Juicing enthusiasts and novices alike rave about the incredibly powerful Nama J2 Cold Press Juicer which makes quick work of whatever fruits and veggies you can think of. Just open the hopper, toss in your faves and that’s it. No painstaking chopping or adding one ingredient at a time. Your fresh, cold pressed juice is ready in minutes and the clean up is just as easy!

Is there a better holiday to celebrate the girls than Mother’s Day? We think not. Like the rest of the gorg puzzles from Jiggy, it comes in a reusable glass jar and includes a tube of puzzle glue so she can proudly display her new art once she’s finished.

Classic and chic, Cuyana accessories are always the perfect gift. (They’re also made in a women-0wned factory!) We love the versatility of this core piece which can be carried on its own when all she needs are the essentials or tucked into a tote when she’s carting the whole shebang. Make it extra special by adding her initials!

The ultimate beach day multitasker, the Packtowl Changing Poncho is perfect for moms with kids in tow. It’s both a super absorbent towel and a convenient way to change without having to drag everyone to the bathroom with her. And with a cozy hood and generous kangaroo pocket, it’s possible to dry off and keep warm hands-free. (Chances are she’s using them to help someone else anyway.)

Confession: My ultimate evening in involves sweating in something that looks like a body bag. Whether I’ve had a hard batch of workouts or simply need a dose of relaxation, I’m fully committed to the sauna blanket lifestyle. My pick, the Hydragun’s HeatPod Sauna Blanket 2 is incredibly toasty, heating up to 185 degrees with a smooth but hefty zipper and magnets at the top to keep the warmth inside. Between the heft of the blanket–which is relaxing in and of itself–and the sweat fest that happens in my 45ish minute session, it’s become one of my favorite ways to wrap up the day.

My suggestion is to set it up on your bed with a show or podcast to sweat it out and simply tell the fam, “Sorry, can’t help. I’m in my sweat bag.”

While I rotate through a whole collection of sunglasses, there’s no pair I reach for more often than the $35 Pacific Palisades sunglasses from Knockaround I purchased on a whim at the REI checkout. Not only are they highly affordable (a must when toddlers are involved) and sustainably-produced, they’re also just cool in a way that doesn’t feel like it’s trying too hard. (That’s probably why two of my closest pals went ahead and bought them too.)

Mamas lift the world up on the daily. Remind her of her strength, resilience and total badassery with this inspiring print from The Far Woods. We love artist Nina Montenegro’s attention to detail and the simple aesthetic. And that it’s hand screen printed in Portland, Oregon.

Fancy cocktails—hold the alcohol! For mamas who love the taste of bitey drinks like negronis and manhattans but would rather not deal with the hangover, Ghia delivers a delicious alternative. The art-deco-esque packaging and incredible recipe guidance makes it a gorgeous gift that deserves a spot on every summer bar cart.

Ok, we admit it. We love a good novelty gift–especially one that’s fun and functional. This tulip tea infuser brews the perfect cup and looks oh-so-pretty while she waits.

She wants to moisturize but can’t wait around to get dressed after? This is absolutely the answer to that scaly dilemma. Just rub it on wet skin right out of the shower and you’ve got blissfully moisturized gams the entire day–without having to deal with the stickiness of lotion. Brilliant! (Also, the neroli driftwood scent is absolutely dreamy.)

Sipping a beverage in the sun is one of life’s greatest pleasures. Our vessel of choice? The  Corkcicle Insulated Wine Glass. With flat sides it feels secure in hand, and thanks to the edge-to-edge ceramic coating, it doesn’t give sophisticated beverages that gross metallic taste. Of course it also keeps drinks cold or hot and it features a silicone stay-put bottom to keep it from spilling. (A cardinal sin, really.)

If she’s a mom with a pulse, she knows this vibe. We’re overworked, overtired and well, frankly just over it. Badaboom Studio’s oversized patch puts those around her on notice and looks pretty stinkin’ badass affixed to the back of our vintage Levi’s jean jacket.

Hey hot mama–this one’s for you. (No, like literally hot.) Mission’s innovative cooling towels can be wet with water or sweat then activated with a snap to bring chilly relief almost instantly. They’re perfect for pregnant or nursing moms, beach days or workouts and stay cool for up to two hours with each wet and snap.

Folding paper > folding laundry. Galison’s gorgeous origami kit comes with instructions for creating three styles of paper boxes in iconic Liberty of London patterns.

Remind her every morning what a Super Mom she is with this fun mug. Of course we love the artwork but the wide gilded handle and rim are what puts it over the top.

What to put in that mug? A perfectly made latte of course. Copper Cow Coffee brings barista-level treats right to her cabinet with their innovative pour-overs. On a mission to sustainably support and share the vibrant heritage of Vietnamese coffee, Copper Cow’s vanilla latte set includes their real vanilla bean-infused coffee sachets along with individual sweetened condensed milk creamer that creates the perfect drink every time. They’re also ideal for travel and camping since all you need is hot water!

A few shakes of Herbivore’s dreamy Coconut Milk Bath Soak turns a regular bath into a nourishing escape. Between the tropical scent and the silky soft skin it leaves behind, we never want to get out of the tub when we use it.

Glossy but not gloppy, the Isle Lip Balms from Cay Skin are exactly what her lips are craving. I picked up a tube on vacation because I needed something to combat the sun and it’s become my go-to, jumping from bag to bag. Between their super moisturizing abilities, SPF factor and the subtle hues, they’re like a little cosmetic pick-me-up–and perfect for sunny days ahead.

This prized bath bomb contains a luxurious blend of meadowfoam and sunflower seed oil, 25mg of CBD, along with a variety of aromatherapeutic oils. One mom told me that her bath experience was “like a day at the spa for only $16.” CBD can soothe sore muscles, while the lavender and eucalyptus promote relaxation, helping you remain focused and present in the moment.

Candles are great, but sometimes you want something a little different. One reliable fave? P.F. Candle Co. incense. It has fabulous throw, infusing a sizable space with scent that’s not smoky at all and lingers for just the right amount of time. Teakwood and tobacco is a personal fave, but Ojai Lavender is a close second!

Motherhood is nothing if not overstimulating (to say the least.) Designed to reduce ambient noise by 27 dB, the soft silicone Loop Ear Plugs Quiet soften the noise around you just enough to drown out things like traffic, barking dogs, or that 90th episode of Blippy, but not so much you’ll miss a kiddo who needs you in the middle of the night. They come in a handy little case as well!
