    I have this Rifle Paper Co. umbrella and, despite my typical distaste for umbrellas, I actually love this one! It opens/closes very easily, is big enough to cover my toddler and I, and is so cute. What more could anyone want out of an umbrella?

    Promising review: "The colors are very pretty, and it is small enough to fit in my purse, which is what I was hoping for. Works well; seems sturdy so far." —Rebecca

    Get it from Amazon for $45 (available in seven styles).

    2. Kitsch's claw clip, which will help her tame her typically tangled locks into a stylish updo — no need to lose patience trying to look presentable on days she simply doesn't have time to force her hair to cooperate. It's super strong, has a sturdy clamp that'll serve every hair type, and has a delicate look to it that'll make her feel like a princess on their day off.

    Promising review: "Love that you can dress this up or down! It is my go-to accessory for working in preschool to put my hair up quickly. It is elegant and classic. It is amazingly durable even in getting thrown in the bottom of my heavy work bag! I am amazed by this clip. I have coarse medium thick hair and it is the perfect size." —Niki

    Get it from Amazon for $7.29+ (available in two styles). 

    3. A pop-up Mother's Day card your mom will absolutely adore — especially if they're a sucker for handwritten cards and have a box under their bed in which they've saved each and every one they've ever received (guilty).

    You should know better than to hand the mother figure in your life a Mother's Day gift without a card. Paper Love is a small business!

    Get it from Amazon for $13.99.

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

    Promising review: "This thing is great! I’m home on maternity leave with my new baby and spend most of my time on the couch under a sleeping baby. This product makes it easy for me to keep my drinks, remote, etc close by even with dogs running around. It’s a little more expensive than I would have liked but it works and I love it so money well spent!" —Amber

    Get it from Amazon for $34.99.  

    5. An ever-popular Instant Pot with so many uses they'll need to take a deep breath before deciding what to make with it first.

    Get it from Amazon for $83.99.

    6. An AirFly Pro wireless transmitter that'll let your mom use their Bluetooth headphones to watch whatever ~*movie of the month*~ is playing during their next flight.

    It also comes with a USB-C charging cable, travel pouch, keychain holder, quick-start guide, and a manual.

    Twelve South is a small business that has been creating innovative tech accessories since 2009. 

    BuzzFeed editor Chelsea Stuart has this gadget and is a fan:

    "Last year I splurged on some AirPod Maxes and for the amount of money I threw down on them, I was determined to get as much use out of them as possible and that included on plane rides. With the AirFly Pro, I can connect my headphones via Bluetooth and use the seat-back screen without having to fiddle with the free wired headphones they hand out that 1.) have horrible sound quality and 2.) don't fit my ears in the slightest (I swear my ear canals are tiny or something??)."

    Get it from Amazon for $54.99+ (available in three models).

    7. An extra-large car cup holder that'll transform their car's too-tiny cup holder into one that'll properly support their oversized emotional support water bottle and help them stay properly hydrated when hanging out at the playground under the sun with their kids or grandkids.

    Promising review: "I have a giant, 40-oz Owala stainless steel bottle and a giant stainless steel Stanley brand coffee mug that fit beautifully in this cup holder extender! Now, my bottle isn't rolling around on the floor or all the way in the back seat where I can't reach it. I can actually enjoy drinking my coffee again instead of sealing it up and waiting until I get to work to drink it. It's expensive but it's well made and easy to put together." —Vixxm

    Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in two colors).

    8. Stanley 40-ounce Quencher Tumbler you won't believe you waited this long to treat yourself to. Fill it to the brim with water and fresh ice, and use it to motivate yourself to hydrate all day.

    Heather Braga / BuzzFeed, Amazon

    I am fully obsessed with my 40-oz Stanley. Yes, it's ridiculously large, but I only have to fill it up once before bed and my water lasts me through the entire next day! It also stays cold and, honestly, just looks super cute on my desk. And, yes, my 2-year-old refuses to drink out of his own baby-appropriate cups and will whine until I let him drink out of mine 🫠.

    Get it from Amazon for $44.50 (available in 35 colors).

    9. And (!!!) a new Stanley All Day 40 Oz Quencher Carry-All, so Mom can take her fave cup on the go hands-free while *also* having space to store her sunglasses, phone, and credit card.

    Stanley also just dropped two other very exciting items — a soft miniature cooler and and a mid-size cooler backpack!

    Get it from Stanley for $40 (available in two styles).

    10. A Bento-style food storage box that'll impress anyone who totes their lunch to work — it has different sections to help Mom pack a deconstructed salad instead of one that'll likely be soggy and gross by the time they get to eat it. 

    A lunchbox with separate compartments containing grapes, sandwiches, and berries
    Assorted lunch containers filled with salad, meats, and fruits for healthy meal prep options

    The container is also dishwasher and microwave safe!

    Promising review: "I’m the kind of person who dreads eating salad. This design makes it exciting to make my lunch. The removable trays help me reheat my chicken or steak without warming the entire thing. And once you remove that tray, you have extra room to shake it around. There’s similar things out there but the grabbing handle helped seal the deal. I bought 2 and I absolutely love them. 10/10 recommend." —Kim

    Get it from our Goodful shop on Amazon for $15.99+ (available in five colors).

    11. A Little Spoon delivery plan Mom can customize with choosing menu items for kids — even ones picky eaters will like. So it's one less thing to think about. (No arguing, that's a good thing!)

    Sam's Club

    Promising review: "I was skeptical when I ordered these and assumed I would be returning them. However, after one use on the beach I’m convinced these were worth the purchase. The sand free side is not scratchy like I assumed it would be and really does repel sand. I would purchase these again." —KR

    Get it from Sam's Club for $19.98 (available in two colors).

    14. A stunning potted lavender plant to fill your mom's home with their favorite, soothing scent while *also* adding a fun pop of purple color to their decor.

    15. A set of sponges designed to look like cassette tapes for any music lover that wants to add some pizzazz to their cleaning sesh — it's the "NSINK" one for me 😅.

    Promising review: "A very cute and practical gift for people who are old enough to remember making mix tapes for their friends. Nice choice for a housewarming gift, hostess gift, or 'just because” gift.' —SunnyK

    Get a set of four from Amazon for $10.99.

    16. An Ancestry gift subscription so Mom can learn *just* how Italian she is — and maybe even reconnect with some distant cousins who still live in the Motherland!

    blue knit sneakers

    Promising review: "I like these so much that I bought another pair! They did not need to be broken in. I literally took them out of the box and was able to wear them all day in Disneyland. My feet never hurt. They are light as a feather and cushioned perfectly. I did have to order a half size smaller than I normally wear. I wear a 7M and bought a 6.5M. My foot is also wide and these shoes gave me some room. It is a sturdy shoe without being too confining. I have had my first pair for 5 months and the soles don’t look worn at all. Buy them if you are craving a comfortable shoe. I’m sure happy that I did." —R.W.

    Get them from Amazon for $60.42+ (available in women's sizes 5–11 and 32 styles).

    Psst: This item is included in Amazon's Try Before You Buy service, so you can give it a trial run if you're a member!

    18. Or heeled mule sandals with braided straps that are quite similar to the popular Dolce Vita pair (but for waaaaaay less). Just think of how stunning they'll look with all of Mom's spring outfits and how great your wallet will feel when it's not empty from spending all your money on shoes. 😉

    They've got a 3.5-inch chunky heel.

    Promising review: "Amazingly comfortable. I was very skeptical when I bought this pair of heels. I thought I had to return them as they might not be comfortable for me. I have wide feet, so I thought they might not work but I wanna give it a try. Wowww!!! They blew my mind and they are very comfortable. I ordered size 8.5 and they fit me well especially my wide feet. They’re very cute and very comfortable. The material might not last me for years but they gave me a beachy feeling, which I love it. I totally recommend these shoes. They don’t hurt my feet at all." —Amazon Customer

    Get them from Amazon for $34.98+ (available in women's sizes 5–11 regular and wide and in 27 styles).

    19. Or rubber slide sandals that'll quickly become their go-to thanks to how easy it is to slide 'em on and clean them when they get covered in dirt, sand, or grass.

    I have a similar white pair and simply run them under my bathroom sink after running around in the yard with my kid — they're great!

    Promising review: "I’ve had these for over a year. Considering how cost effective these sandals are paired with the fact that I wear them almost every day; I was expecting them to last about three months tops, but low and behold, one year later and they’re still in great condition." —BeligumJamaica111

    Get them from Target for $7+ (available in women's sizes 6–10 and seven colors).

    20. portable car vacuum that'll help them battle the seemingly endless amount of crumbs that somehow make their way in between their seats because, well, they have kids.

    the same car cleaned by a portable vac

    Promising review: "I was a little skeptical at first seeing all the mixed reviews but I wish I had taken a pic of my driver side cause that was the worst of it but there was a lot of buildup from me just not having the time or energy to clean my car but this vacuum is AMAZING! You can see the clear difference between those two photos. 11/10 would HIGHLY recommend." —Kayla

    Get it from Amazon for $30.99.

    21. A veggie chopper they can use to dice veggies for the entire family in a flash — it can also spiralize, slice, and chop. Mom is about to take her salad game to the next level, watch out!

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in three colors).

    22. Tushbaby hip carrier you may have seen across your TikTok travels — parents love how much it saves their backs and that it has a ton of pockets for storage.

    It's recommended for children between 8–45 pounds and can be used in four different holding positions — feeding/breastfeeding, side carrying, front facing, and face-to-face. 

    Tushbaby is a small business run by three California mamas and specializes in products that bring a little more ease to everyday parenting life.

    Promising review: "A MUST-HAVE!!!!!!!!!!! Moms and Dads, this is the absolute best purchase I have EVER made. So worth the money. Do not cheap out and get an off brand. This is the one. I carried my 33 pound 16 month old on my hip for 3 hours in total while vacationing through a state park. 4 miles later, up stairs (were talking 200+ stairs) and dirt terrain I have no back or hip pain. And my son stayed on my hip, comfortable without any fuss. Even my husband who is 6’3” wore it and noticed the ease of putting it on and carrying our chunky monkey. Seriously, if you want to invest in something that will save your back, GET IT!" —Mom 2 Two

    Get it from Amazon for $84.99

    23. A Yonanas fruit soft-serve maker they can use to pretend they're Cinderella's Fairy Godmother to turn frozen fruit into a magically delicious dessert.  Reviewers swear it has the texture of ice cream or sorbet. Yuuuum!

    Promising reviews: "I absolutely love this little machine! I use it every day! It is not like a blender… The fruit comes out just like soft serve ice cream! It is incredible!

    Get it from Amazon for $35.97+ (available in five colors). 

    24. A Click & Carry Grocery Bag Carrier they've likely seen on Shark Tank and thought "Wow, that's exactly what is missing from my life." Mom can clip it onto their bags (it can lift up to 80 pounds!) sling 'em over their shoulder and be on their merry way.

    Click & Carry is a Shark Tank and QVC-featured small business that specializes in easy carry accessories. 

    Promising review: "TikTok made me buy it. This is great when you have a few bags and a box. For example, if you balance the bags, you can throw them over your shoulder and walk inside, and you have two free hands to carry the box, which is great. Product seems well built, and is comfortable on your shoulder or hand because of the padding." —Hung

    Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in seven colors). 

    25. Some *washable* silk PJs for a little bedtime luxury because Mom taught you that they probably aren't worth the investment if you can't wash them at home.

    This set is made with an cool, crisp cotton material that'll ensure you can enjoy your lazy day without overheating. My sister-in-law has been raving to me about Lake for months and I'm *sure* I'll cave and order a set soon (perhaps these because they are SO darn cute).

    Get them from Lake for $94 (available in sizes 2XS–2XL).

    27. reading light they can wrap around their neck, in case they have no interest in fumbling with a clip-on light while they turn the pages of their book. Reviewers have also said it's great if you tend to fall asleep while reading, leaving your overhead lights on in the process.

    Promising review: "I also ordered one of those book lights that you have to clip directly on to your book. I haven't even tried the clip-on yet because I LOVE THIS ONE SO MUCH!! It's so versatile. It is the perfect solution for when I'm up in the middle of the night and I still want to stay in bed and read while my husband sleeps next to me. Even when I don't have to worry about disturbing someone this light is still my go to when reading. It's better than any night stand lamp because you can focus this light directly on your book or other types of hands-on projects. I had worried that it would be uncomfortable around my neck but It's so lightweight I hardly even notice it" —Linda Holloway

    Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in eight styles).

    28. The Wand, a handheld filter designed to remove the histamines and sulfites in alcohol that may trigger headaches and hangovers. This lil' gadget will have any mom right back on the feet and jamming to Ms. Rachel after a night out to dinner with their friends.

    Promising review: "OMG!!!! This works. I love wine, but have terrible allergies to the histamines, sulfites, and preservatives in wine. I actually use one wand for two glasses of wine. I was very skeptical, but it works like a dream! Thank you, PureWine. This is really a breakthrough for me." —Penny Froh

    Get a three-pack from Amazon for $11.99.

    29. Plus, a foldable chaise lounge with wheels attached that'll make toting it to the beach or park easier than ever — it transforms into a cart so they can take all their outdoor odds 'n' ends with them! Who knows, maybe they'll even learn to relax outside this season. (Easier said than done, amiright?)

    Promising review: "Bought this for family beach trips to haul our gear to the beach but have used it elsewhere too. Holds a surprising amount of gear, is easy to switch between the cart and a chair, and is comfortable to sit in. It also folds down to a nice packing side for the car. Would highly recommend!" —Brian Filer

    Get it from Amazon for $166.67.

    30. A motivating daily planner that literally says "You've got this!" at the top — it'll also look oh-so-cute on Mom's desk or fridge and has sections to keep track of appointments, how much water they're drinking, a to-do list, what you ate (meal prep, perhaps?!) and a general notes/doodling area.

    Amazon

    Each pad comes with 50 sheets.

    Promising review: "I use this first thing when I get in the office in the mornings as a 'personal to-do' before our morning meetings. It reminds me to stay productive when I might not have work to do in the office at that moment, but it also reminds me throughout the day of the intention I set early on. It’s been a great visual reminder of my personal goals while I’m achieving professional goals." —Chelsea Ashton

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in nine styles).

    31. Beckham Hotel Collection Bed Pillows because, if we’re being honest, the ones they've been sleeping on are starting to resemble Flat Stanley. It’s time for you to help upgrade your mom's sleeping situation. It's what she deserves!!!

    Promising review: "I was just looking at these pillows again in case I had to purchase new ones. I originally purchased them two years ago. They are the most wonderful and comfy pillows I've ever had. When I read the reviews saying they washed up badly, I was ready to buy new ones. Lo and behold, I washed them and dried them in the dryer, and they turned out great. I just have the older type stackable washer and dryer set, not large, just regular sized. I put both pillows in the washer on gentle, then put both pillows in the dryer. I ran the dryer on medium heat and ran the cycle several times, just to make sure. I'm happy they turned out so well 'cause I love these pillows!" —T. Rune

    Haus and Hues is a small business!

    Promising review: "Not only is this affordable, but it’s so cute! I love that it comes with a frame, so I didn’t have to worry about buying one. The graphics are accurate and of good quality. My two photos were delivered really quickly — less than a week after ordered! This is such a good buy, and I’ll definitely buy it again as a gift for friends!" —Jessica

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available with or without a frame).

    Promising reviews: "I have 4c hair and was looking for a protein treatment for my thin and fragile hair. I had recently used a product in my hair that had so much alcohol in it that wreaked havoc on my hair, leaving it pretty damaged.

I highly recommend it to anyone with natural or curly hair." —Therese-Claire

    36. SKIN1004 Zombie Pack Face Masks that'll make them temporarily look like a zombie (though not QUITE as terrifying as the ones chasing down Pedro Pascal in The Last of Us). This entertaining mask will tighten pores and minimizing the appearance of wrinkles while providing them with the opportunity to take some *very* silly selfies.

    Promising review: "Smells great! This face mask does exactly what it says. My skin is nice and lifted, hydrated, noticeable reduction in fine lines, improved texture, reduced my pore size, and eliminated some newly developed rough patches forming around the hairline. Couldn't be more satisfied with this product! I have pretty good skin for 37, but this mask has really helped take my skin to the next level." —Samantha

    39. And a pair of plush slippers to protect their feet from the ice-like tiled floors in their home while also letting them show off a fresh pedicure. 

    Promising review: "These slippers are amazing. They are so comfortable and look so expensive and high quality for the low price. Great for after the shower and wearing around the house and super easy to wash in the washing machine. I've had these for over a year, and they are still in perfect condition." —Sydney Nicole

    41. Moccamaster drip coffee machine that'll become their most bragged about gadget thanks to how beautifully it'll match their kitchen decor — it comes in over 23 colors! The brewing basket will stop the flow of coffee the moment they remove the carafe and the carafe itself has a hot plate to keep coffee hot as long as necessary.

    a yellow moccamaster

    My husband, a coffee connoisseur, has assured me in the "coffee community" this machine is regarded as one (if not THE) best drip coffee machines on the market. I mean, it does boast the ability to brew between a half or full carafe, a brew basket that automatically stops the flow of coffee when removing the carafe (no mess!), and a hotplate with an independent heating element to keep coffee at the *perfect* temperature. But for me? It's the color options. There are SO many to choose from — there's no doubt in my mind anyone would be able to find an option that would look great in their home. I actually *do* own one in my home (it's fabulous) and it does all that it says it will. It's certainly lived up to our expectations — and we drink a lot of coffee as parents of a one-year-old.

    Get it from Amazon for $359 (available in 23 colors).

    42. milk frother to pack a powerful, spinning punch despite looking rather delicate. It'll help transform their latte into one just like their favorite barista whips up for them at their go-to coffee shop. Delish.

    Promising review: "I got the Zoe twin for our upcoming Disney trip but little did I know it was going to be our everyday stroller. It is such a nice quality stroller. My kids love it and say that it is very comfortable. I knew this stroller was a winner when I was able to get it out of the trunk and unfold it one handed while holding my two year old." —Samantha

    46. A trendy Lululemon belt bag they've likely been debating buying for themselves for months now but always spend their money on something for the kids instead — treat mom to this practical gift so she can hit the town hands-free.

    47. Or a similar mini belt bag they can wear across their body like a lil' fashionista when they're chasing their toddler around the park and don't want to leave their phone/keys in the stroller unattended.

    www.amazon.com, Elizabeth Lilly / BuzzFeed

    BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly (seen above, right) used this on a five-day trip to Iceland (it was the only bag she packed!) and loves it:

    "I wear a size L/XL in clothing and sometimes waist bags just don't work out so well for me. With this one, I can confirm that it fit around my waist comfortably without outerwear, across my chest without outerwear, *and* over a thick coat and several layers. The pockets inside are so handy and I even had room to spare throughout my Iceland trip. This was the only purse I brought for the whole trip and it performed its job flawlessly. Just make sure that you zip the zipper ALL the way because the zipper goes down pretty far on the sides for easier access to contents. Having my hands free was wildly convenient for a number of reasons, including crawling around inside of an ice cave and putting out my hands for some extra balance while walking on sheets of ice along cliffs. Oh, and it comes in so so SO many colors."

    Get it from Amazon for $12.98 (available in 32 styles).

    48. A heated eye massager complete with five different massage modes and Bluetooth music so they can fully indulge and relax while relieving pain from eye strain and headaches.

    49. Saucemoto dip clip, because eating fries while parked in the car just tastes better and no one should have to sacrifice their favorite dipping sauce to do so! I can't think of a better lil' gift to give your mom bestie who can often be found eating Chick-fil-A in between driving their kids to and from soccer practice.

    Promising review: "How did I go so long without one of these??? The Saucemoto was my first 'TikTok Made Me Buy It' purchase and I have no regrets. It clips easily to my car's vent and the sauce cups clip in easily so I can dip and drive. No more trying not to dump the sauce by accident while steering with the same hand that's holding the dip cup. It even comes with a dip cup for those places that do the pouches for their sauces rather than the cups. (I'm looking at you, Arby's.) Ya know, you end up squeezing the sauce onto the wrapper that's balanced on your lap and you end up getting some sauce on your steering wheel. OR you try the whole 'wrapper and sauce on the passenger seat and try to dip while watching the road,' which usually doesn't turn out so great." —Pleasure Pamela

    Get set of two from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in four colors and sets of four, six, and 10).

It's like I had to choose between them being tight and causing headaches and pain behind my ears or being comfortable but not functional. I decided to look for a solution. This was a fair price and different options (color-wise) so I ordered it. They are very comfortable. I can inspect under my bus without my glasses sliding off my face and don't have to hold them on anymore. They work perfectly. My glasses do not move at all." —Danyell Brazell

    Heather Braga / BuzzFeed

    I have the Nintendo Switch OLED and am a big fan! My husband has the original Switch, and I have the Switch Lite, but this newest version has definitely made a good impression on me. I wasn't always enthused with the original version (my hands are small!) but despite this one being similar in size, the OLED feels a lot lighter and easy to hold. The colors on the screen are beautiful and *so* clear. It connects very easily to the TV, so you can play multiplayer games at any time!  Since becoming a parent, this gadget has become my saving grace when I'm too tired to follow along with a TV show or read a book. I love diving into mindless, calming games like Disney Dreamlight Valley in an attempt to relax before getting some much-needed shuteye. 

    If you already have a Nintendo Switch and are looking for a game to look forward to, consider ordering Princess Peach™: Showtime!

    Promising review: "Starting off, The OLED switch takes things to the next level. I used to play a lot of Mario games many years before, and I didn’t think I’d ever go back to playing Mario again. Nintendo has made it easy to play a lot of my favorite Mario games from back in the day through the online store. Amazon helped ensure that I had confidence with the delivery of my package. They sent me an OTP password through email to help ensure my package was delivered to the right person. I am very grateful to Amazon for helping provide me with a wonderful experience." —Jose A.

    There have been many iterations of fun Joy-Con controllers since Nintendo came out with Switch devices, but none that have piqued my interest as much as these adorable pink ones! I simply *had* to have them — and you know what? I adore them. Yes, they function exactly the same as the controllers my Nintendo Switch has always had...but they're pink! They simply make me happy.

    I have a Kindle and surprisingly have become a big fan of it — especially when traveling. While I absolutely prefer a hardcover book, it's nearly impossible to put more than two (which is a stretch in itself) in my suitcase along with my clothes, shoes, toiletries, etc. I read most of my books these days through the Libby app (all you need is a library card for access) which can be used via your phone or Kindle. No need to spend tons of money on novels when I simply am not someone who rereads them! I like that I can use this one near water without fear of it getting destroyed (yikes).

Well it’s about to be Christmas soon, so I chose to get these on the sly for him. When they came in I wanted to make sure everything was working correctly before wrapping them up for Christmas. The sound quality is absolutely perfect, the noice cancellation is AMAZING! They were on low and the sound was crystal clear. I asked my 6-year-old son to talk so I could see how well they canceled out noise and I couldn’t hear him, so I told him to shout and I still couldn’t hear him at all. My husband will absolutely love these!! Also, now I need to get myself a pair as well! Definitely happy with my purchase!" —Ashley Haley

    BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord is a big fan of this product:

    "I have one of these and WOWZA, it really helps you get extra mileage out of your shampoo. I have a whole lot of hair on my head so sometimes it's a struggle to feel like I've soaped up my whole scalp thorough, but this is a very effective way to spread out the suds and really get them to the roots. I was worried it might tangle in my hair, but it was totally fine on that front, too. I've noticed that my hair has been a little less greasy at the roots since I started using it. And I'm echoing a ton of reviewers here when I say it just feels reeeeeally, really nice."

    I've been using Charlotte's Magic Cream (in the Disney packaging, hehe) for months now and am such a big fan (I've even got my husband using it as well). I have a toddler and another baby on the way, so my skincare routine needs to be VERY pared down these days. The one thing I've managed to prioritize is to keep up with a moisturizing ritual — and this one certainly does the trick. I never need to use TOO much to cover my face/neck and I love that it sinks in right away so I can rest my head on my pillow immediately after. It's jam packed with skin-supporting goodies like vitamins C and E, rosehip oil, hyaluronic acid, frangipani flower extract, camellia oil, aloe vera, and shea butter. It's truly fantastic and I'll be buying it again and again.

    BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly uses Charlotte's Magic Water Cream, which is similar but seeps into your skin *instantly* making it the perfect day cream option!

    BuzzFeed editor Jenae Sitzes can confirm this gadget is worth the money:

    "After seeing this coffee warmer all over BuzzFeed Shopping and even gifting my dad one for Christmas, I finally decided to buy one for myself. Based on all the reviews, I was pretty confident I'd soon be kicking myself for not getting it sooner, and that proved to be true: This thing not only looks good, but works great for keeping my coffee warm all day long (because yes, I'm one of those people that'll sip on coffee until 5 p.m., all right!!). I was kind of worried it'd be too small for some of my larger mugs, but the center plate is bigger than expected and accommodated every mug in my (very eclectic) collection perfectly. I can confirm that flat-bottomed mugs are the best option for using with this warmer as they do stay hotter, but it still keeps my concaved-bottom mugs warm enough for my taste. Also, I looove how sleek the white version looks on my white desk, and the auto-shutoff function is a nice safety feature as an absent-minded person."

    Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in six colors).

    86. And a "mom" version of the ever-popular bistro tile mug to go along with it. They'll love snapping a cute pic of and sending it to the family group text along with their morning coffee or tea.

    87. OUAI Scalp & Body Scrub made with sugar and coconut oil to help bring skin and scalp back to life after a harsh winter — not to mention it smells absolutely incredible.

    I'm a biggggg fan of the OUAI brand so it was no surprise to me when I fell in love with this scrub. A little goes a long way, which is fantastic because this comes with a decent amount of product. Mine has literally lasted me longer than a year. Anyways, I've noticed such a difference in my skin after slathering this on in the shower. I use it to exfoliate my legs after shaving and without fail it leaves them feeling silkier and smoother than ever.

    Promising review: "I was looking to replace my expensive scalp scrub with a comparable product at a better value and this solved the problem in terms of quality and value. Smells divine and leaves my hair soft and silky at the same time." —Mig7

    Get it from Amazon for $40 (available in two scents)

    88. Hill House Home Nap Dress they've likely been debating treating themself to forever. Take this as your sign to doooooo itttttt for them! They're adorable, won't go out of style, and are perfect for spring and summer!

    I have the Ellie Nap Dress in four styles (Navy Poplin, Botanical Garden Crepe, Pansy In Pink, and another style that has since sold out) and absolutely adore them. I feel super comfortable in them and, honestly, like a princess! I get tons of compliments whenever I wear them (a little flattery never hurt anybody) and might just order another one for this summer. I've worn them while *very* pregnant and they still look fabulous!

    Promising review: "The Ellie Nap Dress is perfection! After about a year of Instagram telling me I needed a Nap Dress, I finally took the leap after having an emergency appendectomy. The dress was so comfy for recovery... and just about everything else! I own about a dozen of them now (and counting...). I've worn my Ellies for napping (duh), to work basically every day, out for girls' night, around the town in NYC, on airplanes, on the beach in Aruba, etc. It's perfect for just about any occasion, and SO, SO comfortable!" —Michelle

    Get it from Hill House Home for $150 (available in sizes 2XS–2XL and 19 styles).

    89. A splurge-worthy Dyson Airstrait that'll change the way they straighten their hair forever — it uses directional air flow (no metal plates!) to both dry and straighten hair in minutes. Seriously, it only took me 10 minutes to do my hair directly from the shower! Time is the BEST gift you can give a mom.

    I've had the pleasure of testing out the Dyson Airstrait and, OMG, what an incredible piece of technology. Yes, I called this "tech" instead of a beauty tool. While it is both of these things, I was amazed by the gadget-ness of it right off the bat. I literally had to select on an LCD screen what language MY STRAIGHTENER should be set to...wild. Anyways! The Airstrait has the ability to straighten both wet or dry hair — and does without the use of damaging hot plates. It uses directional airflow to smooth and straighten hair and, honestly, it is a pretty magical experience. The biggest learning curve for me was realizing the copper pieces (where the fan lives) need to face outward so you're not blowing your hair all over the place. The fan increases when you clamp the Airstrait around your hair (HOW DOES IT KNOW!?) and pauses entirely when you set it down (seen in the GIF to the left). Additionally, I have a toddler and am very limited on time. With this gadget I was able to take my hair from directly-from-the-shower wet to natural-looking straight hair in only TEN MINUTES. This is going to be such a game changer for my life!!! It's definitely worth the splurge. 

    Get it from Sephora for $499.

    90. Lemon cookies from Levain Bakery they'll want to hide from their roomies — they are *so* refreshing and taste like sunshine and rainbows (you know, all the best parts of spring).

    I received samples of these delicious delights and all I can say is "WOW." They're not *too* sweet at all like a lot of massive cookies sometimes tend to be — they're the perfect blend of sweet and tart. I'd even describe them as "refreshing" which is so odd for a cookie but works perfectly for these. They're perfectly chewy — my husband throws them into the microwave for a few so they taste freshly baked every time. My only complaint is that they're seasonal and I won't be able to order them whenever I please.

    Get them from Levain Bakery for $29+ (available in packs of 4, 8, or 12).

    91. A "garden party" inspired candle — it's scented with fresh greens and soothing eucalyptus that'll transport them to the greenhouse of their dreams and provide their home with a fantastic smell much longer than freshly cut flowers (sadly).

    Evil Queen

    When I tell you I am wholeheartedly committed to this candle brand I mean it. I was first introduced to them when I discovered their "OMG You're Engaged" candle in a boutique near my NYC apartment a few years ago. I've been gifting them to everyone I know (and myself) since. This small business is female-owned by an absolute badass who also writes poetry.

    I recently received this new spring candle and it is quite possibly a contender for the best candle I have EVER owned. I had a strong urge to eat this it smells so fresh and delicious (don't eat it, OK?) It is SO refreshing and delightful I'm going to need to order at least 10 to get me through the spring and summer. Honestly, it's just SO good.

    Scent notes:

    Top: Arugula, Cyclamen, Citrus, Mint
    Middle: Bergamot, Basil, White Lily, Jasmine
    Base: Green Leaf Accord, Key Lime, Rose Tea

    92. Baby Brezza Formula Pro Advanced new parents will be able to rely on to help them make their baby a bottle in a flash — which is *much* appreciated when they're screaming their head off because they've decided they're hungry.

    The number one item I simply could not live without is the Baby Brezza Formula Pro Advanced. Literally I would happily spend my last penny on this product because it has made that much of a difference in my life. 

    It’s essentially a Keurig for baby bottles. It has the capability of mixing formula with the proper amount of water and dispensing it at the *perfect* temperature for baby. It has a button on it so I can easily choose how many ounces I want for my son’s bottle, depending on how recently he’s eaten sometimes we needed only need 2 ounces instead of 4 ounces, etc. The bottle settings stayedin place so when my baby was screaming (he used to get very hangry!) I just had to place a bottle under the dispenser and hit the “start” button. It was so easy I was literally able to do it with one hand while holding him. 

    The spout has to be cleaned every four bottles, which I used to do with hot water and a paper towel, and the water needed to be refilled once a day (like a Keurig). Other than that, all I had to do was ensure the formula container is filled. My husband set it up like a baby bar cart in the nursery so we didn't have to stumble down our stairs to the kitchen while bleary-eyed and half asleep in the middle of the night. It really is a godsend and I don’t know what I would have done without it! 

    Get it from Amazon for $199.99.

    93. And a Starbucks gift card — as a mom, I'm telling you this is quite literally the only thing I want for any and every holiday. Give me ALL of the iced coffee via drive-thru.

    When you know you've just snagged your mom a WAY better gift than your sibling:
