The 43 Best Mother's Day Gifts to Give (or Buy Yourself) This Year
With Mother’s Day on the horizon, the pressure is officially on to find the perfect gift for that special person (or people) in your life. Whether it’s your own mom, a partner, a hopeful mother, or, of course, yourself, it goes without saying that it’s no easy feat finding a token of appreciation as exceptional as they are. Of course, as a shopping expert and mom myself, I like to think the options in today’s roundup come pretty close—all 42 of them.
From fashion finds to home décor gems to beauty, jewelry, and everything in between, below, you’ll find the best Mother’s Day gift ideas that money can buy this year, with something for every type of mom and any budget. So those excuses for procrastinating? Leave them at the door and just keep scrolling to get started shopping my picks.
When they try to tell you the perfect diaper bag doesn't exist…
As someone who recently learned you never stop accessorizing (and re-accessorizing) your home, I say give me all the chic coffee table books.
I love this bra in black, but I'm very into pink this season, so I'm thinking of snagging this shade, too.
Is the mom in question expecting? Then I promise they will thank you for this lifesaving stretchy dress.
Fun fact: All Tatcha products are safe for pregnancy, which makes it ideal for moms and moms-to-be who hate having to switch and scan label after label reading the ingredients in their skincare.
Buying a handbag as a gift can often be risky, but this one is failproof.
I don't fully know what this does, but I feel like I need it on my vanity anyway.
I don't know a new or expecting mom who doesn't have this on their wish list.
It comes in nine colors, so you can choose the one that best matches their sheets.
A cool dress that's flattering, bra-friendly, and wrinkle-resistant? Sounds like it was made for moms.
When it comes to earrings, I'm partial to ones that you can wear every day.
If my husband is reading this, please take note of this slide in particular.
There's a reason these totes have been in style forever.
There's not much to say other than that these are adorable, and I want them, so I'm assuming other moms will too.
This unisex sweatshirt isn't just cute and comfortable—it's also sustainably sourced, locally produced, and raising awareness for postpartum depression by benefitting Postpartum Support International.
This insulated backpack makes commuting, park days, and travel so much easier.
If your mom is a robe person (which mine totally is), she will love this luxe kimono.
Based on its 8000-person waiting list, I'm going to go ahead and assume that this portable, hands-free pump is unlike any other.
Bumpsuit's pieces are so cute and comfortable, moms will wear them pregnant or not.
Whether you're seeking fertility, pregnancy, or nursing support, this brand has a nourishing (and delicious) box for you.

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
