    34 Practical Mother’s Day Gifts Your Mom Will Love (And Actually Use)

    Your mom's about to be showing off their gift around town and proudly telling all their friends, "Yep, my child got it for me."

    Hi shoppers! At this point, it's likely that some gifts may not arrive in time for 5/14: it all depends on the retailer, the item, where you live, and how much $$$ you're willing to spend on expedited shipping.

    So please enjoy our gift ideas, but understand that, for many of these items, you'll have to simply let your loved one know that their gift may be arriving *later*.

    1. A bathtub caddy so they can transform their bathroom into a luxurious oasis where they can soak all their worries away. It's slip-resistant, has extendable handles, and will keep electronics, candles, and books safe and secure.

    Promising review: "I didn’t take baths for the longest time because I found it inconvenient and couldn’t relax. The few times I took a bath in this tub prior to getting a bath tray, I would put my iPad on the toilet a few feet away out of arms reach. Needless to say I’d be getting up every so often to adjust the volume, change the show, etc. I am so happy I ordered this! I can put my iPad or a book against the metal rest, have a drink, put my phone in the phone holder, and put some decorative candles in the sides. I am now a bath lover and would recommend this product to anyone looking to step up their bath or relaxation routine. I can now relax in the tub and multitask easily! My cat even jumped up on the bath tray while I was in the tub and it was completely sturdy. I’ve bought this as a gift for both my mom and boyfriend's mom because I love this product so much!" —Sierra Ritchie-Gruver

    2. candle lamp warmer — they will be amazed at how much their favorite candle's scent will fill the room just by warming it underneath this light. Plus: it'll make your candle last much longer than burning it!

    Check out a TikTok recommending the candle lamp warmer

    Promising review: "This was perfect for my wife and me. She especially loves to have the scent of candles throughout the day, but because of our pets, we can't have lit candles. We tried this with both a jar candle and a glass bowl with some wax melts, and it worked perfectly for both. One of my wife's favorite features is the on/off switch on the cord, rather than having an ugly button or knob on the lamp/light itself. It's really a statement piece, like a desk lamp with a pretty wooden base. Overall, it works well for what it is and is well worth the money." —Scott Rarden

    Promising review: "I bought this as a gift for my Italian mom that loves to cook and she is obsessed with this! Not only is it adorable it’s easy to clean and unlike other spoon rests, there’s no risk of you launching your spoon out of the spoon holder and onto the floor. The divot in the middle really sealed the deal. I might be buying one for myself!" —Katy N

    Promising review: "I’ve been using this mask for over a week now, and I must say that it’s the best mask I’ve ever used yet. I have used a sleep mask every night for... probably the last nine years, and it’s the most comfortable one I’ve ever used. I love the strap. No Velcro to get caught in your hair! It’s got adjustable wide elastic that is soft and comfortable. Not the stiff stuff! The mask has nice memory foam in it which cushions your face when sleeping on your side. It has nice deep eye pockets so there is never any pressure on your eyes or eyelashes, which I love. Overall, this is the best mask I’ve ever had. It’s made so well; I feel pampered in it." —DePlume

    Promising review: "This vase is so well made and doesn’t feel cheap at all! The ONLY thing negative I would say is that it came with little sticky pads on the bottom that made it wobbly but once I peeled those off it’s pretty sturdy. 10/10 would recommend." —Roswell and Leela

    Promising review: "Not to be dramatic, but I would die for this cup. I bought the all black version and it's beautiful. Not only that, but the interchangeable tops and two plastic straws!!! I'm so excited to be saving the whales and looking amazing in the process. I should ask for commission on the sales of this because all of my coworkers want one now. Another great part that I don't think the description mentions, there's NO condensation AT ALL. I also accidentally left half an iced coffee WITH CUBES in here for nine hours and when I came home the cubes were still there and the coffee was still cold. ALSO, I have tiny hands which sometimes makes holding things difficult. But the 16-oz size is tall and slim and easy to carry/fit in small bags." —jacklynn ramos

    Promising review: "I've been using scissors for my homemade candles but it's very difficult to get the wick cut evenly when the jar's mouth is so small. I kept getting slanted cuts, of course. I bought this wick cutter and the design is perfect. I can easily fit it within the jar to get a straight trim." —AM

    10. A pair of sneakers that might just be the most inclusively sized pair of shoes we've seen — these come in quarter sizes, which means if, for example, your mom is in between a size 8 and a 8.5, you can order 8.25! They'll be amazed at how much a truly perfect fit can transform the comfort level of their footwear.

    Atoms is a South Asian-founded small business that sells ultra-comfortable, everyday shoes. They're headquartered in Brooklyn, and one of the co-founders Sidra Qasim was featured on Humans of New York!

    Promising review: "I've had my Atoms for over a year now, and I can tell you they're still amazing. I'm a tough customer to please when it comes to shoes. I had a pretty significant injury to my right foot about 10 years ago and ever since then finding a shoe that is comfortable for both of my feet has been a literal pain. But my Atoms are amazing. I can wear them all day, take a five mile walk and my feet don't hurt. They also are in pretty good shape still even after a year of wear and tear. I highly recommend them." —Crystal M.

    Shipping info: Free US shipping on orders over $75, and orders are delivered within 3–7 business days. Expedited shipping options available at checkout.

    Promising review: "Before buying this my coffee would always get lukewarm before I could finish it. I’m so glad I bought this warmer. Hands down my favorite purchase. I have the warmer sitting at my desk and it keeps my coffee super hot." —Brittany Edmondson

    Promising review: "I was skeptical. But I just used these with a big gooey over-filled double burger and they didn't spill a drop. And as an extra, these burger holders keep the burger all together right down to the last last bite. No more having all the good stuff inside on the front of your shirt. Clean up is a snap and they look like they will last for years. I can't wait to use them again." —MW Earles

    Promising review: "I simply LOVE this board. It’s absolutely gorgeous, sturdy and fits everything that a good charcuterie board should have. I have prepared a table for New Year’s and I felt so proud of how it turned out. It’s elegant and surely a great gift. In fact, I bought a smaller one to gift my best friend and she loved it too." —Thaís Knights

    Promising review: "These hair clips are amazing! They are cute and sturdy. I am able to fit all of my hair in the clip and go about my day without my hair falling down and having to reclip it. That is a first for me! I even did a quick workout and the jumping did not cause my hair clip to fall. If you are looking for a nice hair clip that will stay in place, these are perfect!" —Amanda Davis

    16. A pre-seasoned cast-iron skillet for the mom who loves cooking and would really appreciate a new, nonstick skillet that will last decades. It allows for even heat distribution so food will come out perfectly every time.

    Promising review: "I love this skillet! I've used it on the stove, both gas and electric (on glass tops do not drag this skillet on it, it will scratch the glass) as well as over fire outdoors. I've owned it for eight months now and it still looks as new as it did eight months ago. Make sure to research how to clean your cast iron cookware and always heat them up to evaporate any surface moisture after cleaning before oiling. I've made many different foods in this, Utica Greens, bacon, eggs, steak, pizza...etc. All have come out perfectly. I would say I would buy this again, but I see this skillet lasting forever!" —Tinkerman

    Promising review: "I purchased the 3-in-1 massager for my girlfriend who suffers from Plantar Fasciitis and whose job requires her to be on her feet most of the day. She tells me it's the best gift she ever received! She uses it every day and loves it! She comes home from work and goes straight for the massager to relax while she finishes up her paperwork for the day." —PJ

    18. A large woven rope basket for storing all of their bulky throw blankets, extra linens, or kids' toys. Your mom will love how the baskets will actually blend into their decor and make their space look put together instead of sticking out like plastic storage bins do.

    I've owned these for years and love them! I use one for blankets and the other to store my dumbbells for at-home workouts. They're super sturdy and the neutral colors look great in my living room. When they arrive, they'll be folded flat and look misshapen, but once you place contents in them, they adjust to their normal, round shape.

    Promising review: "I love this basket! I have been using rope baskets in my room to store things. My favorite thing about these rope baskets is that they’re really cute, but also functional. They’re great for when you need storage, but you’ve run out of hidden storage. Or when you need to store something that is used frequently. I bought this storage basket to store my knitting and crafting supplies. Storing things out of sight makes it difficult for me to remember to finish it at times, so it’s nice that it’s visible, but not an eyesore. The size of this basket is fantastic. I have another smaller one that wasn’t quite big enough, so I bought this large size and still have room to spare! It’s a great quality, and I will keep it to use forever." —K M

    Promising review: "Great little frother! I love the wood grain aesthetic, much prettier than your average random plastic color kitchen appliance. Makes a very frothy beverage so it’s equally stylish and useful. Keep in mind batteries not included so make sure you have rwo double A’s!" —Nashvillian

    20. A pair of fleece-lined memory foam slippers with a collapsible heel so they can just slip right into them whenever a draft makes their feet chilly.

    model wearing the cream version
    reviewer wearing the navy version showing the suede collapsible heel

    BuzzFeed Shopping editor Melanie Aman loves these: "I have these (and the version without the collapsible heel) and am OBSESSED. Growing up in Florida I never wanted to slippers; it was just too hot all the time. But then I moved to New York City and had to deal with brutal winters and the lack of radiant floor heating in my prewar apartments. Fuzzy socks are great, but sometimes I want some support, especially after a long day on my feet or if I need to leave my apartment for a second and don't want to meet my neighbors while wearing my penguin-print fuzzy socks. These slippers are stupidly soft; it boggles my mind how something can be so comfortable. And the collapsible heel is great for preventing my toes from overheating (which they have a tendency to do in fuzzy socks). I've had the regular version for almost 2.5 years and they're still going strong, so I expect to enjoy these new ones for as long (and probably even longer)."

    Promising review: "I am so happy with this hat magnet! I wish I had had it on my last trip and can’t wait to use it for my next one. I’m also really pleased to use it as a storage solution. I don’t have a good hook in my home on which to hang my sun hat. This strong magnet helps me keep the hat with my travel gear and out of the way." —Amazon Customer

    22. A long-lasting HyperChiller if Mom loves iced coffee but hates spending tons of money on it at the coffee shop every day. This can chill hot coffee in less than 60 seconds. (Yes, you read that right!) It also works great for other beverages like tea, juice, or wine that you want to chill at a moment's notice.

    Promising review: "Perfect for making iced coffee! I absolutely love this! I was a little uncertain about it when I bought it because I didn't really understand how it worked (and it was a little expensive). That being said, I really care about my iced lattes so I gave it a shot. I have no regrets whatsoever — I use it probably five times a week, and I love that I don't have to deal with watered-down iced coffees!" —Nicole

    Promising review: "First-time review and it’s because I’m so happy with this dryer/styler! My hair is about shoulder length, very fine with a slight curl, and now it has some gray to it. It’s also frizzy, no matter what I use. I’m 61-years-old so trust me, I’ve used a lot of products! Never have I been able to get my hair to look like it did after leaving the salon, EXCEPT after using this. I watched some YouTube videos first for some pointers, and then I gave it a try. It’s easy to use, even though it’s bigger than I thought it would be. My hair came out beautiful! Smooth, soft, no frizz, and lots of volume. Hope this review helps you, anyone out there who has similar hair!" —Anon anon

    Promising review: "This umbrella is the CUTEST! It's so easy to assemble and it looks great in my backyard. I can't wait to use it at the beach! The best thing is that it comes with a bag that you can fill with sand that acts as a weight to hold it down and the perfect cover to put on it when it's not in use. It's also super lightweight so it's not a burden to carry around or move from place to place." — Zachary Gulla

    Promising review: "Buy it NOW. Honestly, I had huge reservations for this thing. Yet another miracle cleaning tool that will break or bend or something. I was so wrong. It was easy to put together and I sprayed it with Mean Green and went to the baseboards. No more kneeling and no broken back. This thing is amazing. It is durable and the pad is super absorbent. I am so happy. I can't wait to do the rest of the house!" —artgirl

It has several pockets perfect for small items like toothbrush kit, phone chargers, snack bars, etc. Not only is it big, but it's durable. I also love the blush color.

    Wad-Free is a small business that invented this laundry gadget to prevent sheets from tangling, twisting, and balling up during the laundry process.

    Promising review: "Wow!!! You wonder if things like this really work and well, I can absolutely confirm it does! First, I was impressed that the package came with two of the devices because I was only expecting one. So there was one for the fitted sheet, and the flat sheet. Finally, I tried it out and my sheets not only did NOT wad up, they came out of the dryer feeling fresher, feeling more dry, and unwrinkled! I will be buying a set of these for each of my immediate family members and close friends! What a great gift!!!" —katy

    30. A soothing sunrise alarm clock designed to not only add a soothing glow to their room, but also slowly wake them up in the morning by mimicking a sunrise, therefore starting their morning with the perfect, relaxing vibes. They might just be amazed at how much better they feel during the day when they've been woken up gently by this!

    Promising review: "OK guys. Here’s the deal. This is gonna be a long review but TL;DR: This is an amazing little product, and I highly recommend it. I suffer from mild insomnia and generally have to use sleep aids, which is fine but not ideal for every night. I also moved from SoCal to Washington state a year ago, and I have NEVER been exposed to so little sunlight in my life! Living in the dark winters here is insanely difficult for me. This👏🏼Little👏🏼Alarm👏🏼Clock👏🏼 has changed my life and I’ve only had it for like three weeks. The sleepy time setting has the ability to KNOCK me out without the use of sleep aids! What?! My brain totally responds to the way the light functions. The morning alarm is so gentle and peaceful (you can completely control the noise and brightness settings). I wake up much more naturally rather than to the blaring honk or passive-aggressive chiming of a traditional alarm (looking at you, Apple). The light settings are so fun as well! I love having it on a low setting while I’m journaling, reading, watching TV, anything really! I would pay two or three times the price for this thing. It’s 100% worth it." —KatieM

    31. brilliant ice tray that'll make ice cubes quicker than your average ice tray. But wait, we haven't gotten to the best part — they can pour their ice out without ever having to touch the cubes!

    Just fill the bottle-shaped ice maker with water, stick it in the freezer, pop the sides once the water is frozen, and pour the cubes into your glass.

    Icebreaker is a small biz based in Texas that sells this genius ice cube solution! 

    Promising review: "We have a small freezer and no icemaker, and have been using fiddly trays for years. Icebreaker Pop has changed everything! No more leaky ice trays spilling in the freezer or on the way to the freezer, and no ice picking up weird smells and tastes from the freezer. Icebreaker Pop is self contained and easy to use: you fill it up with water (but be careful not to overfill, because it does expand as it freezes. Physics!) Then seal the top, and put it in the freezer. Once it's frozen, you lay it on a flat surface, press down hard on it a couple of times on each side to crack the ice, and pull apart with both handles. You now have 18 cubes of clean ice that dispense from the opening, eliminating the need to touch the cubes as you add them to your glass. The cubes are a little smaller than from regular ice trays, but that's OK with us. Icebreaker Pop is also cool-looking and easy to clean; it's made up of three easy-to-separate pieces that are a snap to wash thoroughly. Very happy with this product!" —Leah Koepp

    32. A set of satin pillowcases to protect their hair from tangling and matting. The ultra-soft fabric doesn't absorb moisture from their skin, so they'll also wake up to a super-hydrated complexion.

    33. AeroGarden's Indoor Hydroponic Garden so they can grow their own herbs even if they don't have access to outdoor space. Mom can just place this on their countertop, and within a few weeks, they'll be adding freshly grown basil to all their meals. Bon appétit!

    Promising review: "I got this as a birthday present for my husband, the classic man who's impossible to buy for, and he was thrilled with it. He's a by-the-numbers kind of guy, and followed the directions carefully. As a result, all six of the herbs have germinated, and we are already using some of them (basil, thyme and dill) only three weeks later. One thing: the light is much brighter than I expected. The pictures show it as a pleasant glow, almost a night light. It's bright. The timer keeps it on for 15 hours a day, so hopefully there's a place in your house where it won't reflect off the TV screen or light up somebody's bedroom." —Mary B.

    34. A car organizer to secure next to their car's center console to add much-needed storage space to place their cell phone or lip balm. Plus: it'll prevent anything from falling down the abyss that is the car seat gap. It's the practical Mother's Day gift of their dreams!

    Promising review: "I purchased this for a place to keep my personal and work phone in the car. It has done the trick and then some. Dropping change, chapstick, etc under the seat? This little 2-in-1 will eliminate this problem. The leather is soft yet durable and the stitching makes it look sporty yet expensive. Just so happens the black and red color scheme matches the factory interior of my 2019 accord. Well worth the money and leaves me feeling as if I have a well-organized car with everything I need within reach." —stephanie rorie
