1. The newest version of the Kindle Paperwhite designed with a larger display, adjustable lighting options, a glare-free screen, weeks-long battery life, and (IMHO the best feature) it's waterproof! This may be your mom's most-used item because she can read as many books as her heart desires without venturing out of your home to pick up a new read.
Promising review: "I’ve held onto physical books for a long time, but with a two-week vacation planned, I decided to splurge on the Kindle for my birthday gift. I have read 11 online books since I bought it, and my only regret is that I didn’t purchase it sooner. I love the quick downloads, library organizing, and the ability to have so many options in such a small device. I now carry my Kindle everywhere I go to pass the time in various places. The feature of book suggestions has also helped me find a few new fave authors. The biggest plus for me is how you can change the lighting at night to read in bed without a book light. Total game changer. Buy the Kindle — you will love it." —Erin P.

2. A puzzle table with a large surface, six drawers, *and* a rotating cover that's perfect if your mom enjoys puzzles but hates when the pieces take over the whole kitchen (or coffee) table. Reviewers say this is light enough to easily move out of the way and that the drawers are removable as well, making the puzzle-doing experience the best it has ever been.
The board measures 27"x35" and fits most puzzles up to 1,500 pieces.
Promising review: "The only place I had to work a puzzle was on the dining room table which caused a problem when family and friends came for dinner. This puzzle board is the perfect solution! It is so easy to move out of the way when needed. The drawers are so handy to separate the pieces by color, etc. and being able to rotate the board with the lazy Susan is a big plus. Very happy with this purchase and highly recommend." —Lynne C.

3. A Fellow Stagg electric pour-over kettle capable of giving her heart eyes because it is not only super chic and will look so nice sitting out on her precious counter space, but it will also help craft the perfect cup of pour-over coffee or tea with its variable temperature control and precision heating.
Promising review: "I was skeptical about purchasing this item because most kettles on the market are priced lower than this, but I do have to say. ***It is worth every freaking penny.*** This kettle heats up lightning fast to the degree chosen, holds temp, is easy to pour, and it did make the best cup of coffee in my life. Another thing that sets this kettle apart from any other electric kettle really is that it is very very easy to clean! It is worth the investment." —Allison J.
Get it from Amazon for $165 (available in three styles and six colors).
4. A Barefoot Dreams throw blanket with a cult following that includes Chrissy Teigen and the Kardashians, so you know it has to be good. Mom will feel like the queen she is when she snuggles up under this ultra-soft and cozy blanket to catch up on her favorite TV show.
The blanket is made from 100% polyester microfiber blend that makes it SUPER soft. It can be washed on cold and tumbled dry on low.
Promising review: "Chrissy Teigen tweeted that she loved this blanket and mentioned that it easily stretches over the shoulders and feet. Let me tell you, it does. I'm only 5' 5" so it does the trick. This blanket makes me look forward to going to sleep. It's not too warm yet you feel wrapped up in a cloud. Totally worth the money. I want another one." —M
Get it from Amazon for $109.99+ (available in four colors).
5. A Ninja Creami that transforms ingredients into ice cream, gelato, smoothie bowls, and more with little-to-no work on your mom's part. All she has to do is freeze the ingredients in the container the night before and then watch as the machine turns it into a tasty creamy treat in a matter of minutes.
Promising review: "I bought this to make sorbets and dairy-free treats. This is the best machine, and you will use it after summer. All you need is a can of fruit, and it whips up the best sorbet! This is better than any sorbet I have found except in Mikonos. The possibilities are endless with this machine. I love that you can add candy or fruits to make your own blizzards. Everyone in the family loves it and requests their own. Recipe book included is easy to follow and no hard to find ingredients. You do have to freeze the base for 24 hours, but it’s worth the wait. Definitely order extra pints because it’s so easy to make you will want to make extra flavors." —Krista
Get it from Amazon for $199.95.
6. A heatable foot massager featuring five adjustable air pressure settings and the option to add heat because your mom deserves some R&R for being on her feet nonstop for as long as you can remember.
Promising review: "I am a professional massage therapist and bought this product for my wife as a gift, and she absolutely loves it. Next to a personal touch, this massager is the next best thing. It comes with a timer for 15 minutes. At the end of the treatment, not only are your feet relaxed, but the body is too. It hits all the meridian trigger points in the feet to work the whole body systematically. I highly recommend this product, especially for the price. It is well put together and a must-have for our house." —winddancer76
Get it from Amazon for $129.99.
7. A Lego flower bouquet bound to bring a smile to her face because not only will it be fun for her to put together, but then she'll have a super fun bouquet that won't die after a week. How cool is that?
Promising review: "Our four sons grew up building and playing with Legos, and I’ve bought countless Lego kits in more recent years as gifts for our grandsons who also simply adore building Lego creations. Now, I, in my mid-60s, know why! I came across the 'adult' botanical sets, bought the orchid for myself, and immediately discovered just how relaxing and enjoyable building a set can be. The completed orchid is truly beautiful. Lots of compliments on it. I bought this set next and I have to say, I think I enjoyed constructing the bouquet even a bit more, simply due to the variety of the flowers and colors. The finished bouquet is sooo cheerful and…gorgeous! Plastic! Lego! And, yes, gorgeous! New hobby! Bonus; my grandsons think it’s pretty neat that Nana now loves building Lego, too!" —Carol
Get it from Amazon for $47.99.
8. A Hatch Restore sound machine she can personalize with her "bedtime routine" to help her wind down at night and then wake up in the morning to a soft glow and gentle sounds. If she struggles with hitting snooze several times every morning, reviewers confirm that this can help break that habit. And it will also just look good sitting on her nightstand and acting as a lamp when she's not sleeping.
Promising review: "Hatch has been a game changer for me. I’m so used to an alarm that I never realized how much of a difference it would make to be gently woken up as opposed to being jolted out of bed. I make sure to put it on the side where I sleep, the light also really helps. I’m finding that since I started using Hatch my mood has been a lot better, especially in the morning! The other thing that makes this product worth the investment is the relaxation features to help you unwind before bed. I enjoy listening to the rainforest while I read and find it easier to go to sleep. I would highly recommend this product, especially if you're not a morning person, like me." —Katie Dean
Get it from Amazon for $199.99.
9. A super sleek Beast blender + hydration system your mom won't mind cluttering up her precious kitchen counter space because it looks so cool. And to make this gift even better, this blender has both beauty *and* brains. It's super quiet and only takes one minute to blend smoothies to perfection. It can also ~whip~ up sauces and even infuse water or other liquids. How neat is that?!?
Promising review: "This has been a lifesaver in our house! My family was ready to divorce me over the noise created by our last blender, which we put up with for the past two years. I'm sure even my neighbors were awakened every morning when I turned it on! I had to cycle through it twice to get everything blended properly. Never did I think you could find a quieter option that would perform better. The Beast is a game-changer! It is so quiet I can blend in the early mornings w/o fear of waking anyone else, and it cycles through once with blended smoothie perfection. It is so easy to use and clean and looks quite sleek on our counter. I love the smaller cup for making salsa and pesto. And, the hydration system is lovely. I have only one complaint: Wish they would have included to lids with carry handles so I could bring both with me to work and drink from them, but still give this 5 stars! LOVE IT!!!!! Don't hesitate, you will love it too!!!!!" —Cmarvy
10. A compact travel iron and steamer, which is actually a super practical (and beautiful!) gift. Regular irons are super clunky time-consuming to pull out and use all the time. Not only does this iron heat up in three minutes and can easily get wrinkles out of both side of fabric, but it's also travel-friendly and can be used without an ironing board!
Promising review: "Ordered this to bring to a wedding this past weekend, and it was a total hit. Perfect for getting last-minute wrinkles out of bridesmaid dresses! And will definitely be using for touchups before work instead of lugging out my massive ironing board. Great purchase!" —Carolyn Toll
Get it from Amazon for $119 (available in four colors).
11. A heated eye massager reviewers swear by to help with everything from migraines, headaches, eye strain, dry eyes, and even insomnia. And it may look simple, but this genius device has five different massage modes, a 15-minute timer, and even Bluetooth capabilities so mom can play some soothing music as she unwinds after a long day.
If your Mom's suffering from regular migraines, she should talk to her doctor before using this! Read more about temperature therapy can help — including how applying heat during the start of a migraine can help relax tense muscle, while cold compresses can have a numbing effect, which may dull pain — at Mayo Clinic. And learn more about how reducing light can lessen migraine pain at Mayo Clinic.
Promising review: "I saw this product on one of Amazon’s must-have TikTok videos, and I knew I had to get it. It was so worth it — even though the price may seem higher compared to other sellers, this is for sure a good investment piece. The quality is topnotch, the strap that goes around your head is comfortable, and most importantly, the duration of each mode is long enough that it doesn’t interrupt your rest. I work a 12-hour night shift as a nurse, and this technology has helped me get through the night easily. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $54.99+ (available in three colors).
12. An acrylic Squatty Potty your mom ~clearly~ needs because it not only works just as well as the regular version at helping people go number two, but it also will actually be a beautiful addition to whatever bathroom it's in.
Promising review: "This thing is SLEEK! I bought this for my new home's main floor guest bath. We wanted to provide guests with the convenience of 'squat pot' without the eyesore of the white 7-inch one. I feel like if Kim Kardashian had a Squatty Potty, it would be this one. I find it's shaped SLIGHTLY different than my white 7-inch one, and I like that. I also find no squeaking noise as I pull or push it from the basin of the toilet, unlike my white one. My guests didn't notice it was there until I pointed it out. Go with the ghost acrylic, you won't regret it!" —Durga D
Get it from Amazon for $79.99.
13. A Cuisinart compact bread maker especially great if your mom has spent a good chunk of time trying to master her sourdough recipe. With this sleek machine, she'll be able to easily make bread by just selecting what kind she wants to make, putting the ingredients in, and walking away.
The machine is fully automatic with 12 preprogrammed options and three crust shades. It can bake up to a 2-pound loaf. Plus, it has a 13-hour delayed start so you can have freshly baked bread ready whenever you want.
Promising review: "This machine really is awesome. I plugged it in within a couple of minutes of it being delivered and was able to make French bread right away! It comes with a handy recipe book and I can't wait to try the other variations. I'm vegan and oil-free so this was a perfect gift to me and my family so we can have fresh plant-based oil-free bread anytime we want! So easy to clean and looks sleek as well!" —Ryan B
Get it from Amazon for $99.95.
14. A Bartesian cocktail machine ideal if your mom loves a good craft cocktail but doesn't want to have all the ingredients at all times for them. This machine will make her favorite cocktail — from a whiskey sour to a cosmopolitan — in seconds with only a push of a button. Happy hour at home just became happier hour.
After you fill up the machine with alcohol (which is not included), all you have to do is insert a cocktail capsule, choose your preferred strength, and press mix. Plus, it automatically cleans itself after each cocktail and has dishwasher-safe parts for easy care.
Promising reviews: "My entire family and I are extremely satisfied with the Bartesian cocktail machine. I bought this late November but could not provide a review as this was a family Christmas gift. When it was finally unwrapped and opened up, everyone was surprised, excited, and wanted a drink. With six adults in the family, we all had our favorite. I bought six different cocktail mixes (cosmopolitan, whisky sour, sex on the beach, rum breeze, uptown rocks, and Long Island iced tea). We tried them all, and every cocktail turned out fantastic!! I would recommend this machine to anyone who enjoys quality cocktails." —Doug
Get it from Amazon for $320.

15. The Cozee, a battery-powered heated blanket she can take with her anywhere from camping to soccer games (game changer) and stay toasty warm — no cords required.
The blanket comes with cables to charge it in either a car or home, plus two USB ports.
Promising review: "This product is AMAZING!!!! It not only keeps you warm, but it is water-resistant, so when you are sitting at your kid's soccer game in the freezing rain you are warm AND dry! It stays charged for A LONG time, and I love that I can charge my phone using the battery pack! I work from home and my office is in the basement, so I am cold year-round. This is perfect to wrap up in on super-cold days or just drape over my legs if I’m just a little chilly. If I get up, my dog immediately steals it LOL! Where have you been all my life Cozee?!?! I could say a million great things about it! Just buy one and find out for yourself." —RKey
Get it from Amazon for $259.99.
16. An Ember temperature control ceramic mug that'll keep your mom's coffee (or tea) warm for hours so she doesn't take a sip of a cold beverage when she gets distracted. It's the little things in life that make it more luxurious.
You remotely adjust the temperature to get it just right, and you can also select a personalized LED color.
Promising review: "I don’t often post reviews, but every so often there comes along a product like this. I truly wish I would have gotten this sooner. It brings a smile to my face every time I go to sip my cup of hot coffee. It also looks fantastic and feels amazing. Great job, Ember. I’m a customer for life." —Tyler
Get it from Amazon for $136.99 (available in two sizes and eight colors).
17. A Boxxle box wine dispenser made to hold that boxed wine your mom buys from the store and ensure she gets to drink every. last. drop. No need for your mom to mess with bottles because she is the queen of wine after all. (Oh wait, sorry, that's my mom. My mom has claimed that title.)
It can hold up to 3 liters of wine and keep it fresh for up to six weeks, meaning your mom will be able to enjoy it when she has a glass of wine at night.
Promising review: "This little guy is so worth it! We enjoy a fair amount of boxed wine, so we almost always have a bag in the Boxxle. It really does dispense until the bag is pretty much empty, you have to see it to believe it. It looks nice on the counter, and blocks all light from getting to the bag of wine. After struggling with dispensing the last of the wine from the traditional box (seriously, there seemed to always be at least a bottle still left when we had to start the tilt, shake, tilt, shake again antics) it's pleasurable to use the Boxxle!" —Andrea W.
Get it from Amazon for $98.99.
18. A Skylight Frame digital frame guaranteed to bring a smile to her face as it rotates through all the pictures. Plus, you can give your family the email address to send photos directly to the frame so your mom can see updates on how much those cute grandkids are growing every day. (Granddogs count, too!)
I actually got this frame for my dad a few years ago for Christmas and then again for Fathers Day after it accidentally fell and broke (no fault of its own). My dad LOVES taking pictures (like used to keep albums and albums before photos were digital), so I thought this would be great for him. It was super easy to set up and connects to Wi-Fi. It then comes with an email address where you can send the photos you want it to rotate through. My parents keep it running all the time. It's a nice way to actually see all the photos you have without them taking up all the walls in your home.
Get a 15" frame from Amazon for $299.99 (also available in three other colors and sizes).
19. A Tushbaby hip carrier any mom with a baby or toddler would greatly appreciate because it will help them hold their little one comfortably for an extended period of time. It also has several pockets, so they can stash a few diapers and things inside and not need to carry around a heavy diaper bag in addition to their child.
It's recommended for children between eight and 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 that has been featured on SharkTank.
Promising review: "This has been one of MANY items I have purchased thanks to TikTok, and I'm glad I did. Super easy to use, easy to adjust, and most importantly it helps with support tremendously. It comes with pockets and a place to hold bottles/sippy cups, which can be very handy. My 8-month-old weights around 30–35 lbs, and he's basically attached to me 24/7, carrying all day was killing my back and arms! Thank God for this invention, my arms and back can rest." —Jennifer Calle
Get it from Amazon for $84.99.
20. A BedJet cooling and warming system designed to regulate her bed temperature so it's always *just right* as she sleeps. Not only does it have fans and a heating mode, but it also has powered ventilation that wicks heat and moisture off your body so she don't wake up in the middle of the night drenched in sweat. How ~cool~ is that?
This system is designed with biorhythm sleep technology, which means it's programmed to change the temperature every hour at night to help you sleep comfortably. You're also able to program the specific temperature that you want. The heat mode will warm you up 15 times faster than a blanket! And it's super easy to use. Simply plug the unit in, slip the tube under your sheet, set your temperature, and get ready for bed. Sweet dreams!
Promising review: "First time I have ever been moved to write a review on Amazon but this is the single most amazing product if you sleep hot! This thing WORKS and it is saving my life! It only took a NASA engineer to solve my propensity to burst into flames every night at 2 a.m.!" —Matthes
Get it from Amazon for $489+ (available in two unit styles and sheet sizes Q–K).
21. A Le Creuset Dutch oven that provides great heat distribution and retention to help make cooking dinner so much easier for her. If you love your mom's cooking now, just wait until she gets her hands on this. You may invite yourself over for dinner every night.
Promising review: "What can I say, I've had my pot a little over a week, and I have used it almost daily. The 5.5-quart is the perfect size for my family of five. It's an adventure finding recipes to fix and am confident that this will become a family heirloom. I made the best spaghetti and meatballs with very little, effortless cleanup which never happened with my old, cheap Dutch oven. It's well worth the cost for this beautiful pot." —Helenj
Get it from Amazon for $369.99.
22. A makeup brush UV sanitizer here to make it super easy for her to disinfect her makeup brushes. All she has to do is put the brushes in it and press the button on top. Five minutes later, her brushes will be clean and ready to use again.
Promising review: "This first caught my eyes when I saw how chic and cute it is. Then I found out it actually help sanitize makeup brushes! I wear makeup regularly, but to be honest, I don't clean my brushes frequently enough. I found it kind of frustrating to clean my brushes. Not sure why but it always takes a REALLY LONG TIME for my brushes to dry. This is such a lifesaver as I know I can sanitize my brushes every time I use them with just one click! I don't have to worry about skin issues caused by dirty brushes anymore! It also makes a really good/cute gift. Very happy with this purchase." —Cyn
Get it from Amazon for $89.
23. A Nespresso Vertuo, which will mean a ~latte~ to her if she's a coffee lover because she'll be able to make a delicious cup of coffee or espresso in her own home every morning. Just think, while she's taking her first sip, she'll be thinking of you and how great of a gift-giver you really are.
Plus, it comes with a milk frother, so she can make her own lattes and cappuccinos.
Promising review: "I am really enjoying my new Nespresso machine. I have used it to make regular cups of coffee and also to make lattes. The frother that came with it works great! It makes both hot and cold froth! I also bought a pod holder that you can put the machine on top of, and I’m really glad I’ve got that storage space for the pods. I’ve had my machine a couple of weeks now, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in a pod type of machine. It makes way better-tasting coffee than my previous machine did." —K Dunn
Get it from Amazon for $209.95+ (available in three colors and four styles).
24. A KitchenAid mixer that lives up to all the hype and really does make baking and cooking that much easier. And it'll just be a bonus gift for you if mom uses this to ~whip~ up a batch of cookies the next time you see her.
My mom had been using the same mixer since her wedding (more than 30 years ago), until Mother's Day two years ago when I decided to surprise her with a KitchenAid mixer. She's used it quite a bit over the last two years and still raves about it. It makes mixing, whipping, kneading, and more a breeze. She doesn't leave it out on her counter, but you totally could. This is an investment any mom would be happy to own.
Promising review: "I’ve been wanting this for so long but held off because of the price. I went ahead and took the plunge and splurged on this and the food processor attachment. I was blown away by the quality. I really is a work of art. Most importantly it performs beautifully." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $379.99+ (available in 22 colors).
25. A towel warmer because she'll never feel fancier than when she steps out of the warm shower and avoids freezing by wrapping herself into a warm towel that feels like a big hug. It's little things like this that make life more luxurious for the woman who gave you life.
It fits about two towels (or even a towel and a robe or other fabric items) and has a 15-minute adjustable timer.
Promising review: "I bought one for myself, then bought several others as presents because it's so nice. It's fairly small and easy to find space for even in a small bathroom but is also big enough to hold two large towels at a time. There are a few small things to watch for: occasionally the on button takes a bit of finagling to work; it takes about eight minutes to hit 'maximum' towel warmth; if the lid is askew/not fully on the towel loses a lot of heat; there's a bit of a plastic odor that goes away after the first few uses. But if you're aware of those things it's super luxurious and worth every penny, having a super-warm towel waiting for you counters all the misery of having to leave the shower in the winter. It also makes a great present, it's the kind of luxury item people don't normally think to get for themselves but makes life so much better. Anybody who says you can't buy happiness obviously hasn't bought a towel warmer." —Heather
Get it from Amazon for $139.99.
26. A Bose portable speaker she can move around with her and take the tunes where they need to go — from dinner on the patio to rocking out while cleaning the kitchen. Plus, it's voice-controlled, meaning she can easily ask it to change the song or turn up the volume.
The speaker is also water-resistant, has up to 12 hours of battery life, and a handle to make it super easy to move around.
Promising review: "You wouldn't ever think you needed a 'portable' speaker in your home, but once you try it, you'll love it. This speaker is one of three Bose speakers that we use for a great music experience, and the great thing about this speaker is you grab the handle, unplug it, and bring it to wherever you want. Additionally, I love Alexa on the Bose speakers. It's very easy to set up and use and I'm happy with the functionality of it." —theAKDeezy
Get it from Amazon for $399 (available in black and white).
27. And a spinning heart messenger perfect if you and your mom don't live very close. You can send notes through an app to the box and your mom will see the heart spinning and open it up to read the message, which is just sweeter than a simple text message or phone call.
Promising review: "This product is absolutely perfect for my situation. The messages are sent through an app on your phone and are instantly sent to the box, and you can also schedule a time when you want a message to be delivered. One of the cool aspects is that there are stickers and gifs that you can also send through the app. Overall, it was an amazing gift and definitely worth the money."—GC
Get it from Uncommon Goods for $100+ (available in two styles) or from Amazon for $129.99.
