    34 Mother's Day Gifts For The Mom Who Says They "Don't Want Anything"

    You're going to show mom how much you love and appreciate her whether she likes it or not (she will).

    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. Be sure to double check the retailers’ websites for shipping information to ensure that your gift will arrive in time for the 9th!

    1. A marble cheese slicer to level up the family charcuterie board dates Mom's been hosting since this whole pandemic thing started oh...a WHOLE YEAR AGO.

    2. A spiced honey bath syrup sure to pamper mom after a long day on her feet. The decadent formula is packed with nourishing, hydrating ingredients like ginger, manuka honey, ginseng root, and coconut oil.

    3. A Sips by gift card for a subscription box filled with premium teas, personalized to match her taste preferences. Every month, she'll get sent everything necessary to steep and sip her way to serenity — something every mom could probably use a little more of.

    4. A waterproof JBL speaker so she can take a bath and listen to a cheesy romance novel on Audible in a noise-free, judgment-free zone.

    5. A two-in-one chair and cargo cart because mom always gets stuck lugging everybody else's crap and this convertible lounger will help take the load off (and facilitate some much needed R&R).

    6. A subscription-based letter service that will send your history-lovin' mom *real* letters from historical figures — each reproduced on cotton paper or parchment and sealed with a stamp.

    7. A sentimental trinket dish if you're too far away to give mom her daily "you're great" reminders in person. This drop spot for her rings and other doodads can help pick up the slack.

    8. A heated Shiatsu massager to give mom the next best thing to hiring a personal masseuse, and offer some soothing at-home relief from the daily aches and pains that come with having a body and being alive.

    9. A variety pack of Reese's candies for the mama who doesn't care for random doodads, but will certainly never say no to chocolate — especially peanut butter-laced chocolate.

    10. An Atlas Coffee Club subscription so mom can kickstart her mornings with a caffeinated punch of single-origin java from Tanzania, Colombia, Kenya, or one of the world's other iconic coffee-growing regions.

    11. Or a plant-based awake patch if she's is trying to curb her coffee habit. Each patch is formulated with caffeine, vitamin B12, and green tea extract for an even-keeled, not-jittery boost of energy she can wear for 12 hours.

    12. A pair of Adidas Cloudfoam sneakers because mom has been *super* into going on walks lately and maybe she won't be mad at you if you spend your money on a practical gift?? JK she probably still will be, but at least they're something she needs!

    13. Or a new pair of Birkenstocks as there's no denying that once warm weather hits, these are *all* she wears.

    14. An easy-to-learn board game that's actually fun to play over Zoom and will have you tuning in to each other's mental ~wavelengths~ while getting to know each other a little better with every round!

    15. A PetCanva gift card because if you're really being honest with yourself, mom's favorite child is the dog she got after you left for college and she'd much prefer a phone case or fleece blanket with their face on it.

    16. A timeless bomber jacket that checks all the mom style boxes for durability, flexibility, and versatility with a mesh lining for lightweight breathability. Don't be surprised if it eventually feels like this is the only jacket she wears — it probably is.

    17. An electric fondue maker to upgrade date night, ladies night, or watching The Bachelor alone night with easy-to-make chocolatey (or cheesy) goodness she can whip up and serve in the same dish. We know mama hates mess.

    18. A lightweight carpet shampooer for moms who drool over a sexy before-and-after cleaning pic. This powerful gadget can lift years' worth of caked-on stains (Fido's contributions, included) and save her a pretty penny in professional carpet cleaning expenses.

    19. A digitized version of your childhood home videos so mom never has to worry about outdated technology or something like a flood or fire wiping out the only footage proving your first word was definitely "mama" and not "dada."

    20. A sure-to-please Edible Arrangement because plump, chocolate-covered strawberries and juicy, daisy-shaped slices of pineapple aren't just anything — they're everything.

    21. A Kodak instant printer that'll pop out all of your family's best selfies in mere minutes. Just don't be surprised to find your IG shots and Facebook profile pics plastered all over the fridge next time you visit...

    22. A two-piece linen lounge set to refresh her wardrobe with a cute and coordinated ensemble to wear whenever she's ready to give her COVID sweatpants a break.

    23. An easy-to-install hummingbird feeder for turning any perfectly average window into a full-on bird observatory with 100% free admission and complimentary snacks (from her own kitchen).

    24. A pair of Ugg Fluff Yeah slippers so you can treat her toes to some of the coziest cushioning on Earth. Also because in the words of Amy Poehler's Mean Girls character, she's not a normal mom, she's a cool mom.

    25. A tray of Baked by Melissa cupcakes because who doesn't love miniature baked goods?? I mean seriously — they're like the size of a quarter so she can try out all the flavors without getting a stomachache.

    26. A Book of the Month subscription that'll send Mom a hardcover book of her choice every month. It takes the scary guesswork out of offering book recs and gets more great titles in her hands for less $$$.

    27. A one-touch spice grinder if the best cook you know — Chef MaMá — takes nothing more seriously than seriously fresh flavor. This sleek little gadget will make it easier than ever for her to incorporate freshly ground spices into every dish.

    28. A pair of classic gold-dipped hoops mom can throw on with any outfit and instantly be the most well-accessorized person in the room.

    29. A cozy linen sheet set to make bedtime even more exciting with luxurious sheets that are breathable in the summer, snuggly in the winter, and get softer and softer with every wash.

    30. A diamond painting kit for the gift of a soothing yet satisfying art project the family's resident Lilo & Stitch lover will enjoy completing almost as much as they enjoy admiring their hung-up finished handiwork. It's about time mom's artwork is up on the fridge!

    31. A Framebridge gift card so mom can finally frame her favorite photos — including that embarrassing one of the two of you where they're absolutely glowing but your eyes are only half open.

    32. A modern canvas that just looks like a bunch of lines, but is actually her favorite film — as represented by a chronological color strip from every scene. This here is The Princess Bride.

    33. A custom cityscape ring to give your mom a little piece of her favorite place that she can wear anywhere, whether that's where she grew up, her favorite vacation destination, or the city she raised you!

    34. And an insulated picnic backpack so your adventurous mom is always prepared for a park picnic, beach feast, or any type of outdoor dining their heart desires. It comes with everything necessary for a four-person picnic, including the blanket, an insulated main compartment for food, and a detachable bottle bag for her favorite rosé.
