1. A book of judgy fish stickers for your mom who needs a fun moment during their mundane weekly reports at work. They can place these highly relatable fish anywhere from their laptop or water bottle to their notebook.
2. A gold decorative mirror so your mom can display all the pretty perfumes that you got for them from past Mother's Days, birthdays, and holidays. They can also hang this in their foyer in case they'd prefer a little mirror they can peer into for a last look before stepping out the door.
Promising review: "I am forever in love with this! Very aesthetically pleasing!! Mirror hasn’t scratched and adds some *spice* to my perfume collection." —Morgan Newbanks
Price: $14.99 (available in three colors)
3. A heated mattress pad for your madre who is always perpetually cold. This'll keep them warm from the moment they step into bed ’til they rise in the morning. And if they sleep with a partner, have no fear — this has zoned heating, just in case they like a super-hot bed while their partner likes just a mild warmth to slip into at night.
Promising review: "I wish I had bought these sooner. My house is relatively cold by today's standards. I try not to use my heat pump as much as possible and just use my wood stove in my bedroom. The wood keeps me warm until it inevitably dies out overnight, and that's when this heated cover becomes my hero. I am saving electricity by not running my furnace and staying TOASTY warm throughout the night. It's my favorite thing to preheat my bed and tuck myself in. It's hard to peel outta bed, though, because it's so comfy. Worth every penny. I only have to turn it to about 4 out of 10 to be perfectly warm, and I'm a COLD person." —Tiffany
Price: $47.95+ (available in nine sizes and two styles)
4. A set of light-up bath fizzes, just in case your mom likes to party as much as they like to relax! These bath fizzes have natural essential oils, shea butter, and coconut oil for a spa-like feel, and they light up to make bath time a little more fun.
These come in six different scents: lavender, aloe, ocean, rose, milk, and olayer.
Promising review: "Disco in my bath! This product is such a nice distraction from a stressful life! The scents are not overpowering, light and soothing, they don’t seem to deposit rings, a real plus with a soaker tub! But the best part is saving the little center bit and setting it aside for a real party with wine and candles. Sending these out to stressed family now as random pick-me-ups." —Katrin Sullivan
Price: $24.99 for a six-pack
5. A neon "SNACKS" sign to up the ante on your mom's pantry. I mean, this is fun, fun, fun, and is a clear indicator that, in your mom's house, snacks will always be a-flowing.
6. A levitating planter, because a regular degular vase won't cut it for your ~cool~ mom. They can put their ikebana in here or use it as a very interesting catch-all.
7. A gel nail polish kit is so necessary if your mom is all about doing their beauty routines at home. Applying gel manicure can be tricky at first, but, as someone who has been doing their own Gel-X manis for years, it's a really cool and meditative skill to work on and perfect over time.
The kit includes 32 bottles of gel nail polish, a base coat, 3 top coats (no-wipe, matte, and glittery), a professional nail lamp, and nail tools.
Promising review: “Salon quality nail product!! I was apprehensive because of the price, BUT the kit worked exactly as described. I cured my nails for twice as long as recommended, and I didn’t have ANY problems with runny or wet polish ruining. As others have said, the bottles are small, but to say “you can only use them once or twice” is an exaggeration. There’s more polish in there than that. It WOULD be nice if the base coat and top coat bottles were bigger than the rest because you’ll use so much more of them, but they aren’t. I’d buy this set again in a heartbeat!!” —Andrew jacone
Price: $29.99 (available in 13 different kits)
8. A heart-shaped leather bookmark that actually has a flap to hook onto the page that they want to mark. It's v chic and is in the literal shape of a heart for your fab mom who is all about little reminders of the love y'all share.
Promising review: "I like these better than regular bookmarks. They are easy to use, and I like how they fit in the corner of the page. A good weight (not too thick/heavy and not flimsy). I like the variety of colors. I usually read two or three books at any given time, switching between them. I'm happy with my purchase." —SilentScream
Price: $6.99+ (available in two other styles)
9. A bed canopy, because the only thing that'll make your mother feel more like their room is a magical wonderland than fairy lights is a friggin' bed canopy with built-in fairy lights. If they're set on their bedroom setup, though, they can totally hang these above a reading nook!
Promising review: "I love this product, I love that you can put it up in a variety of different ways, and it looks elegant and adds so much to a plain bedroom. It really dresses up the room. Now I have a place to relax, a sanctuary, thanks to Amazon!!!!" —Cassie S
Price: $18.04+ (available in seven styles, some with additional lights)
10. A bouquet of faux tulips so that your mom doesn't have to think about caring for yet another thing in their life! These faux tulips are super realistic-looking and will help them zhuzh up their space all year long.
Promising review: "Gorgeous artificial flowers!! Perfect for those of us who are allergy-riddled floral enthusiasts. I use them for seasonal and holiday decorating, as well as homemade gifts for my family and friends. I love the careful attention to detail, particularly how random leaves appear to have 'dirt' as if freshly picked right from the garden. Really appreciate a quality allergy-free floral option." —Jen M
Price: $24.99+ (available in sets of 20, 28, or 60 and in tons of color combos)
11. A basket of emotional support nuggets, because your mom needs something to hold if you're not around for a hug. Plus, it's a pretty unique plushie, which'll be all the more reminder of their unique kid!
12. A compact felting kit that includes 20 wool colors and alllll the tools your mom will need to make cute little figures (yes, even tiny plastic eyes!). Get this if your mom has been looking for a hobby that doesn't include staring at a screen for hours on end.
This kit includes 1 portable storage box, 20 colors of wool roving, 30 needles (small, medium, and coarse sizes), 30 plastic eyes, 10 silver 9-shaped needles, 5 colorful rope chains, 4 small wool felt molds, 1 colorful wooden handle, 1 pair of finger gloves, 1 tweezer, 1 yarn cutter, 3 needle bottles, 1 foam pad, 2 glue sticks, and 1 awl.
Promising review: "This is my first time ever Needle Felting, and this kit has every tool I have needed so far! The tools are well-made, and the needles are strong. I did buy some additional wool for a project I started, but this kit has a lot to play with and make smaller things. I watched a few videos on YouTube and voila — made my first little animal! I'm really having fun and hope this review helps someone. If you price these tools individually at Hobby Lobby or similar stores, you will spend a lot more — this kit has everything! Happy Felting!" —Kristin Bernhardi
Price: $18.99+ (available in three color sets)
13. A mini belted pack, because no one ever said being a mom is a walk in the park. Between errands, kid hangs, penciling time in with relatives, and finding a smidge of alone time to decompress, motherhood can feel like they're constantly in a "go, go, go" mindset. At least this'll keep all their necessities close by and organized while they're running around doing mom ishhh.
14. A 5-Minute Daily Writing Prompts book is great if your mom has just recently gotten back into their love for writing, but doesn't really know how to take the next leap into deep writing sessions (as a writer myself...VERY RELATABLE at all writing stages). This comes with 501 prompts that take five minutes to complete and can spark interesting ideas for a best-selling novel.
Promising review: "What a great, clear book! I love this. I haven't written anything in years. But I wanted to start again. Since I haven't written, I am VERY rusty. This book has been great to get me started again. Highly recommend, no matter where you are in your writing journey. It's a great refresher." —Mandy Kendrick
Price: $8.49
15. An activity book if your mom has been a NYT subscriber ever since you were a kid. This has 195 activities that they'll reach for whenever they're feeling bored on a random weeknight.
Promising review: “This book is wonderful for getting away from my phone and engaging with a great array of puzzles. With different difficulties and types, I can pick between a thematic crossword puzzle or just end my night with some colored pencils. This is an excellent nightstand book to end a long day of work!” —Samuel
Price: $13.04
16. A linen duvet cover will be a breezy, chic addition to your mom's primary room setup! This is great if they've been re-hauling their home lately, and their entire interior design Pinterest mood board looks like a chic hotel.
Promising review: "Love this duvet cover. It looks way more expensive than it is. The buttons add a nice bit of flair and are made from wood — or at least seem like it, ha ha. The orange color is a subdued burnt orange, not too saturated and bright. It does wrinkle a little, but not as badly as expected, considering it is linen bedding. We get lots of compliments on it. It is also the perfect weight — not so thin that I feel like I will rip it, which was my main concern given the price. This is a great set. Go for it." —Pepper
Price: $99.74+ (available in three sizes and 10 colors)
17. A sushi-making kit for your madre who loves their salmon rolls so much, they'd be willing to make them at home. This comes with everything they need to prep their fillings, smooth their rice, and assemble their sushi for a pro-level roll.
The kit includes two sushi mats, a rice bazooka, a cucumber and avocado slicer, rice paddles, a sushi knife, a dipping plate, a nigiri maker, a sushi brush, and four maneki-neko (chopstick holders).
Promising review: "Got this for my mother’s birthday and she loves it! Said it’s so easy to make a roll and comes with everything you need!" —Alastor
Price: $27.99
18. A Fujifilm Mini Printer is great if your mom still keeps photo albums of your family vacations! This printer is ink-free and connects to your mom's device via Bluetooth for quick printing. If they're super tech-savvy, they can connect this to Fujifilm's accompanying app to edit before printing.
You can also add photo sheet packs when you gift this to mom!
Promising review: “I love this little printer so much. I actually bought the square printer a long time ago, but I’ve been wanting the mini one for a while now. I finally bit the bullet and bought it, and I haven't had any regrets since. I use it for my scrapbook, and let me tell you, with the other printer, I have to lighten the picture a lot. But the picture quality here is amazing. You get what you print. Super easy to use and I can’t wait to use more of it!” —Lee
Price: $106.99+ (available in three colors)
19. A jar of Jergens lotion bursts, which is essentially squishy lotion, eep! All your mom has to do is squish a star between their fingers and smooth it over their skin for some glowy hydration.
Promising review: "OK, but I love these? They smell so good, and they're so convenient. I was worried they'd be like gummy or leave a weird skin or something, but that's not a problem at all! The whole cute little lotion pop rubs into the skin. I've found they're the perfect size to get my hands and up to my elbows when I'm hecka scaly, and all the way up to the shoulders when I'm less dry. And there's no residue! No greasy feeling! Just soft and hydrated and awesome. If they come out with more scents besides this and lavender, I'm buying them for sure. And less chance of spilling in a bag and ruining things!!" —AllyBelle
Price: $7.47 (available in two scents)
20. And a mini Stanley soft cooler bag is great if your mom is the type to always have snacks or drinks at the ready. They can even use this as a lunch box to keep their food tempered until they're ready to eat.
Promising review: "I'm not one to write reviews; however, this small cooler/lunch box deserves one. This small cooler is totally worth paying the extra money. I filled it up with sushi rolls for a concert, and it stayed very cold for over 10 hours. The cold packs I placed inside were still frozen after all that time! It is also roomy, a nice soft material, and very stylish, and the shoulder strap option makes it more functional. I love it!" —Leticia Hampton
Price: $75+ (available in 21 colors and three sizes)
