Best Mother's Day gifts 2023

Caraa Studio 2 Mini

Caraa

$198

Studio 2 Mini

Wallet, phone, emergency snacks, a spare paci, chapstick, restaurant crayons, a handful of random found playground rocks…moms have a lot of essentials to cart around and need a dependable bag to do it. The Studio 2 Mini from Caraa is one that’s deftly up to the challenge. For one thing, it’s got tons of organization packed into a totally manageable size. The 3/4 zip on the main pocket makes it easy to access exactly what you’re looking for, while a padded pocket at the back keeps your phone safe. But most mom-friendly of all? The lining is water-resistant and antimicrobial. (Because we know there’s going to be a leaky sippy cup in there at least once. Ok, twice.)

Vitruvi Glow Essential Oil Diffuser

Vitruvi

$65

Glow Essential Oil Diffuser

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.

Environ Intensive Revival Cream Mask

Environ

$86

Intensive Revival Cream Mask

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!

Rifle Paper Co. Small Cosmetic Pouch

Rifle Paper Co.

$48

Small Cosmetic Pouch

The cheery prints from Rifle Paper Co. never fail to make us smile. Their small cosmetic pouch in their signature Garden Party floral makes a sweet gift for the traveling mama (or any mama, really)!

$45

Sling ST Sandal

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.

OTM Monaco

OTM

$145

Monaco

If she’s ever suffered the catastrophe of her favorite lipstick melting all over her cosmetics bag, she’ll go gaga for OTM. Their super chic makeup bags are designed with a high-tech lining that shields your coveted beauty products (and sunscreen!) with a heat resistant, radiant barrier that keeps them protected even in hot direct sun.

NuFace Mini+ Supercharged Skincare Routine

NuFace

$196

Mini+ Supercharged Skincare Routine

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. 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.

Fenty Beauty Eau De Parfum

Fenty

$140

Fenty Eau De Parfum

Is there anything Rihanna can’t do? The dreamy Fenty Eau de Parfum from our favorite badass mama is at the top of our wish list for all the reasons. Its enigmatic scent is floral but woody, with a light sweetness that’s not at all cloying. At least that’s how we interpret it–on her it may be different. The middle-notes-only parfum is designed to express itself uniquely on each wearer!

Petite Plume Luxe Pima Cotton Panthere de Paris Nightshirt

Petite Plume

$98

Luxe Pima Cotton Panthère de Paris Nightshirt

Luxurious but comfy, the Pima cotton nightshirt 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.

Fewer Finer Two Pockets Ring

Fewer Finer

$2800

Two Pockets Ring

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.

Yohana Subscription

Yohana

$149

One Month of Helping Tackle Her To-Do List

As a busy mom, her to-do list can pile up pretty quickly. Don’t gift her one of those hollow “coupons” for help. Truly help her get it all done with a subscription to Yohana. Yohana is a premium concierge service she can use right through her phone to juggle everything from meal planning to finding a local handyman to fix a broken washing machine. Their team of helpers can even book appointments and help plan birthday parties. It’s like giving her a second set of hands!

By Rosie Jane Calm the Fck Down Gift Set

By Rosie Jane

$35

Calm the F*ck Down Gift Set

No one wants to be told to calm the f down, but we do appreciate a trio of gorgeously scented products to get us there. Cleanse, hydrate, and stay fresh with a sampling of best-sellers from By Rosie Jane. Made with their signature Calm The F*ck Down scent–a soothing blend of lavender, neroli and chamomile–the set includes body wash, body oil, and versatile deodorant spray to make her self care ritual a 10/10 experience. It’s the perfect introduction to one of our favorite brands–but be sure to warn her she won’t be able to quit that body oil.

Knix Hi Touch High Rise Legging

Knix

$80

HiTouch High Rise Legging

If you’ve got a fitness-minded mama on your list, these are the leggings that will totally make her day. They’re lightweight, don’t roll down and don’t creep up in the wrong places, if you know what I mean. But best of all, their targeted compression, in the form of high-tech 3D ridges, gives you a booty that would make Wonder Woman jealous. They come in a bunch of gorgeous solid colors in addition to this fab print, and of course basic black for the traditionalists out there. (There’s also an array of equally comfy bra tops to match!)

Corico The Olive Boat Pit Port

Corico

$30

The Olive Boat & Pit Port

For the mama who prides herself on her charcuterie board building skills (yes, it counts as cooking as far as we’re concerned), this is the gift she never knew she needed. The clever dish elegantly serves up olives while providing a place to hide the discarded pits. The hostest with the mostest? We think so.

According to one fan, hers is currently holding “three diapers, 20 wipes, changing pad, baby hat, one burp rag, extra baby sleeper, two masks, hand sanitizer, my keys, emergency underwear and crayons, 10 Band-Aids, credit card, chapstick, and my phone.” Full-size diaper bag—you get the boot.

cuyana slim wristlet wallet

Cuyana

$118

Slim Wristlet Wallet

Classic and chic, Cuyana accessories are always the perfect gift. (They’re also made in a women-0wned factory!)

Make it extra special by adding her initials!

Affordable Mother’s Day gifts

Mother’s Day isn’t about spending hundreds of dollars on presents. This is the one day out of the year that is dedicated to families appreciating everything their mom or partner does on a daily basis.

Maybe this sounds cliché, but a thoughtful gift is more sentimental than an expensive present. We moms simply want to know that you are thinking of us and didn’t forget the day that honors every moment we spend parenting, which is basically every second (and yes, we love it!).

This year, you can surprise your mom or lover with a phenomenal gift that costs less than $25. Remember, it’s the thought that counts. Here’s our curated selection for different kinds of mothers, because let’s be real, there is no one-size-fits-all gift.

everyday oil

Everyday Oil

$20

Body, skin, hair, bath, you name it, this oil can be used on it. It absorbs best when you put it on right out of the shower, but I’m so obsessed with the smell that I use it some mornings even when I’ve skipped the shower. The mainstay blend is a mix of rich cold-pressed plant oils including coconut oil, olive oil, argan oil, jojoba and castor oil. Its intoxicating and calming scent comes from a mix of palo santo, lavender, geranium and clary sage but is also available fragrance-free.

Incense

Candles are great, but sometimes you want something a little different. One reliable fave? P.F. Candle Co. incense.

Loop

$24.95

Quiet Earplugs

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.
