    30 Mother's Day Gifts From Target She'll Actually Use Every Day

    Flowers and chocolates are nice, but these gifts she can actually use all the time.

    Hey! While we’re doing our best to make sure the products we feature will arrive in time for Mother's Day, shipping times can vary depending on where you live, which product you purchase, and more. So order earlier than you think you need to and be sure to double check the retailers’ websites for shipping information to ensure that your gift will arrive in time for May 8th!


    1. A glass birdbath with a gorgeous hand-painted sunflower design so she can enjoy the sight and sounds of birds chirping and playing in the trickling water (which is solar-powered btw) on warm sunny days.

    2. A vanilla bourbon perfume because she deserves to smell as sweet, warm and inviting as she truly is.

    3. A deluxe electronic pedicure tool so she can exfoliate away dry skin and hard calluses to reveal smooth, soft feet. It comes with both coarse and fine smoothing heads and is waterproof *and* rechargeable!

    4. A silk pillowcase to ensure she sleeps like royalty and wakes up feeling like a beautiful princess. It feels super luxurious, will keep her cool at night *and* will work wonders for her beauty routine, protecting both hair and skin.

    5. A 2-in-1 hair styling tool that dries hair while simultaneously straightening, smoothing out and adding a bit of volume. Less hassle, less heat damage, and more beautiful hairstyles for your mom.

    6. A "mama needs more coffee" mug to give her a chuckle each morning and (of course) remind her of her favorite child (you) while she enjoys her daily cup of coffee or tea.

    7. A pair of AirPods Pro earbuds because the active noise-cancelling works incredibly well, which means she can tune out all the ~extraneous~ noise and immerse herself in her favorite music and podcasts instead.

    8. A floral stainless-steel tumbler with a straw if she prefers her drinks ice cold. This beauty will keep her iced coffee (or water) perfectly chilled all day, every day.

    9. A gorgeous bronze medallion yoga mat for the yogi mommas out there. This mat will have her feeling super zen and super loved during all her meditation and yoga sessions.

    10. A peony-scented soy candle so she can enjoy the lovely aroma of fresh flowers long after all her Mother's Day bouquets have lost their smell and petals (and eventually end up in the compost bin).

    11. An Amazon Echo Dot because there are all sorts of fun (and useful) things she can do with it — like turn the lights on and off, blast her favorite songs while cooking up dinner, check the weather, or even to just ask Alexa silly questions!

    12. An Amazon Kindle e-reader if she's a bookworm who doesn't have the time to make a bunch of trips to the library. Now she'll have access to any book she wants without having to go anywhere!

    13. A wearable blanket so she can snuggle up in coziness and warmth 24/7, but still be able to move around and get things done. This is *exactly* the kind of thing I could see my mom living in, day and night — she's one of those "I'm always cold" people.

    14. A facial steamer that will treat her to some at-home spa magic every night by opening up her pores, cleansing, and hydrating her skin.

    15. An Instant Pot with an air fryer because this handy kitchen gadget does just about everything without requiring much effort or time on the part of the chef (aka mom). She can use this to pressure cook, slow cook, steam, sauté, broil, dehydrate, roast, and air fry — all while saving tons of time, of course!

    16. A UV sanitizing case that's basically a multitasking and time-saving hack. This thing kills 99.9% of germs and bacteria on a device while *also* charging it!

    17. A wine holder that grips to any glossy surface (mirrors, metal, shiny tiles, glass, etc.), since every mom deserves a relaxing soak in the tub with a glass of "mommy juice." Plus, this will make it so that she doesn't have to worry about spilling it.

    18. A moisturizing face cream with a name that pretty much says it all: Holy Hydration! The luxurious, yet lightweight moisturizer is infused with hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, peptides, and vitamin B5 to leave her with glowing skin each and every day. 😌

    19. A digital Wi-Fi photo frame, because she'll love being able to see all those precious family photos on display. Even better, you and all her other loved ones can easily send new photos to the frame through the app.

    20. A Roomba robot vacuum that she is sure to absolutely love because it means she doesn't have to spend her precious time or energy cleaning the floors – which is especially nice if her family is extra messy (and most are).

    21. A neck and shoulder massage wrap since it's the next best thing to gifting her a professional massage every day. Whenever her muscles feel sore (which let's be real, is probably every day), she can simply drape this bad boy on, sit back, and relax, enjoying the three heat levels and five massage settings!

    22. A pair of beautiful canvas gardening gloves if mom has a green thumb. Now she can take care of all her plants each day in comfort and style.

    23. A super-soft chenille robe for something warm and luxurious she can relax in each night, especially after the kiddos are in bed hehe.

    24. Create Your Own Calm, a journal with inspiring quotes and activities designed to help reduce anxiety and "create your own calm." After all, motherhood can be pretty overwhelming and stressful sometimes – this might help her navigate the more challenging moments.

    25. A slip-on bracelet with scarlet crystals and gold-plated beads spelling 'mom' for a gorgeous accessory she'll love wearing with all her outfits. Plus, the inscription about the power of a mother's love is extra heartwarming.

    26. A Garmin smartwatch so she can track her workouts, monitor health metrics, keep up with incoming texts and calls, listen to music, and more — all in unbelievable style. Plus, it boasts an impressive five-day battery life.

    27. A heated foot massager to help her relax and release all that tension after standing on her feet all day (and quite possibly chasing children around for most of it).

    28. A Tile Bluetooth-enabled tracking device if she's constantly losing her keys or misplacing her phone. With this, she can use her phone to make the Tile ring or press the button on the Tile to make her phone ring, which should make it easy-peasy to find them, even as she's trying to do a thousand other things.

    29. A mini vibrating massage ball that will help her take care of her muscles by gently massaging away the knots and tension.

    30. A golden essential oil diffuser so she can breathe in all her favorite scents and relaxing aromas while enjoying the fun color-changing lights and pretty design.
