1. A marble cheese slicer to level up the family charcuterie board dates Mom's been hosting since this pandemic thing started oh...a WHOLE YEAR AGO.
2. 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).
3. 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.
4. A BaubleBar gift card, because unless mom specifically asked for heart-shaped jewelry, mom likely doesn't want heart-shaped jewelry. This way, she can pick out something she's guaranteed to wear.
5. 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.
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 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.
8. A Daily Harvest gift card or custom gift box for the mom who'd happily drink a smoothie every day for the rest of her life.
9. 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.
10. 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).
11. 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.
12. 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!
13. 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.
14. A Goldbelly monthly subscription for the foodie mama who'd love to support restaurants big, small, and in every corner of the country.
15. A gift card for a Vellabox subscription if Mom is the queen of *ambiance* and could benefit from a regular re-stock of sweet-smelling, artisan-made candles sent to her door every month.
16. Or a minimalist candle complete with a curated playlist (scan the QR code on the packaging) so she can easily set a multisensory ~vibe~ when she finally gets a relaxing night to herself.
17. 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.
18. An Etsy gift card so mom can support small businesses on your dime! It's a win-win for everyone.
19. An Adults & Crafts subscription for the crafty mom looking to get her hands on some Instagram-worthy DIY projects she'll actually want to keep and use when she's done.
20. A TheraBox subscription that comes filled with therapeutic self-care products and "happiness activities" because who couldn't use a little extra dose of dopamine nowadays?
21. A Sur La Table gift card for moms who've stumbled onto cooking TikTok and could use some new gadgets to up their kitchen game. They also have cooking classes if she's interested in extra instruction!
22. Or 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.
23. 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.
24. A Framebridge gift card so mom can finally frame her favorite photos — including that embarrassing one of the two of you where she's absolutely glowing but your eyes are only half open.
25. 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.
26. 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.
27. 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.
28. A Nike gift card if you've peeped her running shoes and it's clear she need an upgrade. Go ahead, just do it. ✔️
29. 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.
30. 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.
31. 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 $$$.
32. A subscription to BBQ of the Month to give mom a break from dinner planning with a shipment of delicious pre-cooked meats, sauces, and sides with recipes and easy re-heat instructions. Dinner is served — with a fraction of the effort.
33. A Target gift card for the mom who misses spending every free weeknight wandering the aisles of her local store. If you have no idea what to get, don't worry — Target will tell her what she needs.
34. A Paletteful Packs subscription if mom loves visiting Michaels almost as much as she loves visiting you. With this, she'll be treated to boxes filled with top-quality art supplies — from paints to pens — that'll inspire burgeoning artists and masterclass painters alike with their tiered box options.
35. Or a diamond painting kit because it's about time mom's art gets hung up on the fridge! Any Lilo & Stitch lover will enjoy completing this soothing yet satisfying art project almost as much as they enjoy admiring their hung-up finished handiwork.
36. A MasterClass subscription for the mom who loves to learn, learn, and learn some more. She can take 90-minute courses on everything from creative writing with Margaret Atwood to Texas-style BBQ with Aaron Franklin.
37. 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.
38. And, if all else fails, an Amazon gift card, because she'll definitely be able to find something there!
When mom says, " I love it but you shouldn't have":
