1. A heart-shaped necklace with a preserved rose on top (you choose the color!) sure to "WOW" Mom. If the rose and necklace don't do the trick letting her know you love her, the necklace reads "I love you" in 100 different languages.
2. An iridescent rose in case Mom ever gives you crap about not getting them something special. It's made of plastic and surrounded by a glass dome. And let me tell you, people are really loving how nicely it lights up the place!
AAA batteries are required but not included, but you can get them here!
Promising review: "I got this as a gift for my future mother-in-law and it’s surprisingly really well made. It takes three AAA batteries and has an on/off switch on the bottom of the base. The lights on it are actually really bright. Definitely a unique gift idea with a lot of color options." —Casey R.
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in 12 colors).
3. A magnet set inspired by the popular TV show, The Golden Girls! The box has 25 magnets, an illustrated backdrop, and a 32-page booklet full of juicy facts and behind-the-scenes secrets.
4. An eye mask set because falling asleep at night isn't always easy. The kit has a silk eye pillow, dried lavender, flax seeds, a lavender and chamomile aromatherapy spray, and a gel eye mask. If Mom's beauty sleep gets better, she'll owe you one.
Promising review: "My new eye pillow has quickly become an essential part of my sleep routine and yoga/meditation practice. I love the lavender spray, which adds to the luxurious experience. Above all, I love that I can remove the sachets to adjust the thickness of the pillow. I like the full weight of the pillow when I meditate at the end of my yoga practice, but prefer the feel of a light pillow on my eyes for sleeping. The pillow does a great job of covering my eyes. It's very soft and the strap comfortably stays in place. It's a great investment!" —Patricia A. P. P.
Get it from Amazon for $32.99 (available in various sets and color options).
5. A contoured sleep mask with little cutouts to allow her eyes to blink freely. It's made to fit perfectly on the face without any annoying pressure. She can use it for meditating or a quick power nap in the afternoon.
Promising review: "I've tried many sleep masks, but this is the only one I like. The foam around the eye sockets is soft and covered with soft material that forms a seal around my eye sockets. This makes it very comfortable and shields out any light, even if I want to take a nap during the day! I have been able to regulate my sleep better because I put it on when I want to sleep, and I am not awakened by light until I want to be. I usually stay up until at least midnight and wake up the minute the sun comes out, but I've been able to sleep many hours more than usual. This is THE ONLY mask I give as a gift, and the recipients tell me they have gotten the same response — longer sleep in the morning. Excellent buy!" —FanceyFootework
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in seven colors).
6. A $50 Starbucks gift card because Mom deserves to indulge a little. You'll make their whole week (or longer, depending on how much coffee they drink) with this treat.
7. A dual-layered initial necklace she can layer with other necklaces for a "cool mom" look. Honestly, she'll most likely love how fast they can turn her comfy, everyday clothes into something straight out of a fashion magazine.
Promising review: "Can’t beat the price for these necklaces! Love the layered look and get many compliments when I am wearing them. Definitely recommend!" —Jennifer K.
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in six letters).
8. A heart-shaped Pandora charm that will show her how much you appreciate having her in your life. Moms always like to feel loved, and she can be reminded of that every time she wears this!
9. A set of pajamas because they can never have enough pairs. This satin two-piece set is super soft and comes in the cutest patterns. Perfect for a lazy weekend of lounging around in style!
Promising review: "Love the material, soft and it’s a little stretchy. Machine washable — which I love. Button-down shirt lies down right under the butt area. As for the shorts, I like that it’s a little stretchy. I'm going to buy more and in different colors." —Guadalupe
Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in sizes S–XL).
10. A colorful outdoor inflatable ottoman that serves as both a table and a place for Mom to kick her feet up and relax. There are tons of cool colors and patterns to choose from, so there will definitely be one that suits her fancy.
Just inflate the interior pouf and stick it inside the printed, water-resistant cover. Each one can support up to 300 pounds!
Promising reviews: "I purchased this ottoman for my mom to elevate her legs when she is sitting on her deck. She loves it! As do I. It was so easy to inflate, and storage is going to be great. Very Happy." —Maureen
"Love these! Ordered two more. The fabric is very nice and sturdy especially for outdoors. The inflatable part appears to be good quality. How to: Place inflatable inside of cover before inflating it. Do not inflate to full capacity or it will look like an inflatable and will not rest in a nice flat position. Far nicer than I imagined. They look great flanking my outdoor rattan sectional." —Cali g
Get it from Amazon for $36.99 (available in 16 styles).
11. "Old World Italian: Recipes and Secrets from Our Travels in Italy" is a cookbook with super-easy and authentic recipes that will take them on a delicious journey through Italy's culinary history. If you are nice enough, your mom might even let you try a meal yourself.

Promising review: "I have constant lower backaches and muscle pain in my neck from sitting at my computer at work. I been prescribed muscle relaxers but I hate taking them because of drowsy they make me feel, read the reviews on this and decided to try it out. This helps my pain so much! I can feel the difference after using it for 30 minutes before going to sleep, especially in my neck!" —Julie
Get it from Amazon for $26.67 (available in 15 colors and two sizes).
13. An embroidery kit perfect for beginners and comes with everything needed, including a patterned cloth, a hoop, instructions, a floss thread set, and needles. It's a fun and fulfilling activity for Mom to do during their free time.
Promising review: "I truly loved everything about this set of three different designs. Each was packaged separately, all arrived in a large zip bag, which is convenient for gifting or sharing. I appreciated only receiving one hoop in this set, as well as that each design had clear directions, the threads separated neatly, and it came with several needles. It’s perfect for those new to needlepoint or who might be picking up the craft anew. Not too challenging, but a nice variety of different types of stitches are involved with each pattern, which makes it (for me) more engaging and fun. I highly recommend this!!" —Anna M.
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in four designs).
14. A stackable mug set and holder if she likes a place for everything and everything in its place! This is especially great for coffee bars (and if she's running low on cabinet space).
Promising review: "My husband no longer complains about not having enough coffee cups. I love that each one says 'Coffee' on it. These are perfect for placing right next to the coffee maker. Easy to clean, stack and doesn’t take up much space at all. The capacity is perfect. Holds enough without being too big." —Cori Holland
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in three colors).
15. A set of two ceramic mugs complete with a built-in cork coaster bottom that will protect your MIL's prized wooden coffee table from getting scratched. Plus, the lid is splash-proof!
Beware: The mug has two magnets placed at the bottom (where it attaches to the cork base), so DO NOT place the mug in the microwave!
Promising review: "Got these and a few other things as gifts for my associates. About a year later and they all love them and still use them. I had one left over that I use myself and love it." —steven

16. An electric wine opener that's cordless and can pop the tops off of 100 wine bottles on a full charge! Drink up, Mom!
Promising review: "This product is amazing! Hands down the easiest way to open a bottle of wine. I’ve tried a lot of different types of wine bottle openers and I’ve always been disappointed. This one is super easy and it worked so fast!" —Tipsycat
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three styles/colors).
17. And a 5-in-1 wine stopper capable of extending the life of her wine bottles so she can keep 'em a little longer. It's also an aerator, pourer, filter, and re-corker. It's like you'll be giving her five presents in one!
Promising review: "I wouldn't consider myself a wine connoisseur by any means, but I typically have a bottle or so float through my house each week. This wine corker takes the hassle out of pulling the original cork out, it is easy to clean, it makes the wine taste better, and hello it's $5! It would make a GREAT cheap gift for a wine drinker. At the moment, I only have the one, but I'm planning to grab a few more to keep on hand." —JasonKim L.
Get it from Amazon for $8.35 (also available in package sizes).
18. A multi-functional skin scrubber for an at-home facial that does it all — cleaning, lifting, ion+ and ion-. It uses high-frequency vibrations to help Mom get rid of all the gunk on their face like dead skin, blackheads, and more. The best part? It'll help Mom get the most out of those fancy skincare products they've been splurging on.
This has three different functions (cleansing, lifting, and smoothing) and is best to use when her skin is still damp!
Promising review: "Love this tool! I recently got a professional facial and they used a tool like this one on me! I was so intrigued that I had to purchase one for myself! The price point is amazing and it does the job. Once I used it, I noticed I was able to exfoliate my skin nicely and get some extractions from my clogged pores on my nose and chin. I then used it with a serum, which was nice and how it was used during my facials. Can’t wait to use it more! There are tons of different ways to use it! Great price for a great tool!" —Stephanie Nelson
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in three colors).
19. A sleep-focused essential-oils blend specifically made with relaxing ingredients like chamomile, sage, and lavender that will help her get a good night's sleep. To use, add a few drops to the diffuser, relax, and let it work its magic!

Promising review: "Bought this to help on days when I have bad insomnia due to anxiety, especially during this pandemic. Can't say I like the scent of the oil alone right off the bat. It's pretty strong so you only need a few drops in the humidifier. But the first night I used it I had the best sleep of my life! Was knocked out fast and woke up feeling super refreshed!! Definitely recommend this product. It lasts well too so it's worth the price!" —Wendy
Get it from Amazon for $11.95 (available in 14 scents and six sizes).
20. A gorgeous mug warmer so Mom can enjoy their coffee, tea, or cocoa nice and hot, no matter how long it's been sitting out. Don't worry if she forgets to shut it off; its auto feature will do it after four hours.
Promising review: "It does an excellent job keeping my coffee hot every day. Easy to operate, and three different modes with different temperatures perfectly meet all my needs. I even used it to heat up a cup of miso soup once, and it warmed up my soup well with the highest temperature option (the red one)." —Kaylee L.
Get it in pink from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in seven colors).
21. An Amazon Fire TV Stick that'll gift thousands of streaming channels, movies, shows, live TV, news, and sports — all in one complete package! It's the perfect present for any entertainment-loving Mom.
The remote is Alexa-compatible so she can use voice commands to find something new to watch, launch an app, search for a movie, or even order herself a pizza. Her old remote could never!
Promising review: "After years of using cable and then a Roku I decided to try out the Amazon Fire TV Stick, and we now have one for every television in the house! I think it works so much faster than the Roku and offers much more. I appreciate being able to turn the TV off and on with it, change the volume, and the built in voice recognition is great when you don't feel like typing. Something new I noticed is the Amazon product ads that you can click on from the TV, then it adds to your to your prime cart to purchase its a pretty cool feature." —Biabell
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
22. A bartending set made for the master mom-oligist. This awesome cocktail set has everything she needs to be a pro bartender: a shaker, strainer, mixing spoon, muddler, corkscrew, ice tongs, and more. She can either show off her cool bar tricks or create a fun cocktail that she's never made before. Either way, I'm expecting free drinks!
The bartending set is dishwasher safe.
Promising review: "This bar set is amazing! It has everything you need for a functional home bar, and the little display is perfect for storing and displaying. I got this as a gift for my husband and he absolutely loves it! Totally worth it for such a great value." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in five colors).
23. A sushi-making kit that's a great activity for both you and mom to do! Don't worry; it's beginner-friendly, so she doesn't have to stress about making them look perfect.
This kit includes a sushi knife, bamboo sushi mats, rice bazooka, chopsticks, holder, dipping plate, avocado slicer, nigiri maker, cucumber slicer, rice paddles, and a sushi brush.
Promising review: "We use this about once a week to have a sushi date night. We have saved so much money making sushi ourselves that this has paid for itself many times over. The knife that comes with the kit is high quality and has become a staple in our kitchen, and the little cat chopstick holders are just about the cutest thing. The bazooka has worked like a charm. We’ve found that using the brush that comes in the kit to brush a little bit of water or rice vinegar on the bazooka insides helps everything not be as sticky." —Emily
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in three colors).
24. A Revlon hot air brush to take their hair from cute and curly to a gorgeous blowout in minutes! This thing is a brush and a hair dryer all rolled into one. It makes hair styling a breeze no matter what hair type you're working with.
The brush has special vents that allow air to flow so hair dries faster. Plus, it's quicker than using a dryer and then a flat iron or curling iron, which equals less heat damage.
Promising review: "Amazing product. I wish I found this 20 years ago!! I have naturally curly hair and enjoy a nice blowout without having that pin straight 'burnt' flat iron look. This product helped me achieve the blowout look in about five minutes. (Yes five!) When it comes to hair, I’m a super novice and this is by far the easiest most effective (inexpensive) blow out. I would give this more than 5 stars if I could. Where has it been all my life?!?!" —Sara Kovach
Get it from Amazon for $48.74+ (available in six styles and nine colors).

26. A cold brew maker that'll cut your mom's daily Starbucks trip down to zero.

After that, she can have some tasty homemade iced coffee.
It can brew a quart (4 cups) and store hot coffee. It also has an airtight lid that can keep your coffee fresh for up to two weeks.
Promising review: "If you LOVE iced coffee (I drink it year-round regardless of the weather) then you NEED this cold brewer. I work for Starbucks and I love our cold brew. I was skeptical to make it at home but I love it more than theirs. It’s especially nice since Starbucks only brews one kind of beans for cold brew, but at home you can brew your favorite kind. Absolutely love this and it’s worth more than it costs. A must-buy for yourself or a wonderful gift for the coffee lover in your life!" —j.blaine
Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors).
27. A massage gun for moms on the move (or simply for those who get tight from sitting down!) With its easy-to-use functionality, this handy gadget can become an essential part of her self-care routine, leaving her feeling relaxed, rejuvenated, and ready to tackle the day ahead.
The massage gun is programmed to have 20 speeds and comes with six different attachments heads.
Promising review: "This thing is powerful, but so easy to use with a lot of intensity settings to choose from. The lower the intensity number, the more battery life it'll have before needing to charge. I liked it on level three which seems to lasted a long time. Feels amazing on my calves, soles of feet, and back. It arrived in perfect condition and charged a bit so I could immediately use it. So many different interchangeable attachments for different parts of the body. It only takes one second to attach and detach. I could reach almost every part of my body on my own, but if you struggle with mobility you should ask a loved one for help — definitely for your back at least. :) Doesn’t make too much noise and is comfortable in my hand. It isn’t too heavy and comes in a cute black sturdy case. Very relaxing. Glad I got this!" —Kat
Get it from Amazon for $22.98+ (available in three colors).
28. A dripping rain cloud that will help all their plants flourish. Just stick those acrylic rods into the soil, pour some water into the hole, and let it drip slowly onto the green foliage. After around 10 minutes, the "storm" will end and her plants will be freshly hydrated.
The Axelsson Fun Factory is a small business based in Georgia that sells several variations of the dripping rain cloud.
Promising review: "So creative!! What a cute idea!! I love watching my cloud rain!! Great quality and it has become a topic of conversation at my house. Everyone who sees it , thinks it’s ingenious!! Just awesome!!!!" —Gloria
Get it from the Axelsson Fun Factory on Etsy for $24.97.
29. A French press coffee maker for the moms who don't like automated machines. They might want mornings to feel like a movie, and this will help them achieve "main character" status.
If she want to taste those robust flavors every time she makes coffee, then she needs a French press. Not only does it filter coffee sediments from entering the cup, it also allows the delicious oils to be present in every sip! The double-layered stainless steel will keep coffee hot for 60 minutes longer than thinner steel and glass models. It also works well for making tea, hot chocolate, frothed milk, fruit infusions, and much more!
Promising review: "My wife and I have been using a French press for over 25 years. The problem was we had a large one from another company that wouldn't quite make enough coffee for both our consumption which caused a second pot to have to be made. I searched for and found this large 59oz french press and bought it. We have been surprised and elated at the press doing a fantastic job. Not only do we make less than the total press capacity, but we have the option to make more than we usually make if we need to (like a rough night!) Also the press seems to keep the coffee a lot hotter while it is brewing....this was noticeable on the first day we used it! We experienced NO GROUNDS in the coffee and the press cleaned up easily and completely! We love this French press. The only problem is that we didn't buy it SOONER!" —Robert C.
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in two sizes).
30. A full-size wreath because Mom's front door deserves to look gorgeous year-round, not just on Christmas. It has artificial jasmine, daisy, lavender, and some wildflowers. Just give it a shake until it looks the way you want, and her house will be complete!
Promising review: "I bought this wreath assuming I’d be returning it. I used to make wreaths and am really picky about them because of that. Good wreaths usually cost a lot of money. This is a good wreath that does not cost much at all. Once it’s fluffed out, and honestly you don’t have to do much fluffing at all, it’s perfect. If the colorful, flowery look is what you’re going for, I highly recommend this wreath." —Shannon
Get it from Amazon for $49.99.
31. A waterproof cellphone pouch because she deserves to take a bath without worrying about her phone dropping in the water. All she has to do is put her phone in the case, shut the clasps, and boom! Her phone will stay completely dry.
Promising review: "I lost my iPhone while in the pouch, while I was kayaking and could not go down deep enough to get it. After nine days I had a message from a person that said he was scuba diving and saw it underwater. He got my name because I had my credit cards and drivers license in my phone case. When I met up with him he told me the phone was dry when he picked it up and it was still working. I ended up buying a pouch for my son because we’re fixing to go on a trip and go white water rafting. After this, I had many of my friends buy this pouch for their phones." —Susan P.
Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in 14 colors).
32. A decorative tray crafted with natural rattan, wood, and mother of pearl. It's perfect for spoiling your mom with a fancy breakfast in bed. The tray is light but strong enough to hold all their favorite breakfast goodies, like pancakes, coffee, fruit, and pastries.
33. A skin care kit that has everything! Face creams, clay masks, eye masks, soaps, bath bombs, and much more. Trust me, Mom won't be able to resist using them all!
34. A box of pore-tightening, skin-lifting zombie face masks that only take 15 minutes to work their magic. Once she washes it off, she'll feel like she just left the spa (from the comfort of her home!)
Promising review: "I have never written a review before but I am compelled to do so now. Let’s start with what my 41-year-old face looked like. I had bumps, tiny bumps all over my skin, especially my forehead. My skin NEVER felt smooth even with the prescriptions I was give to help with these tiny bumps. Rosacea = bad bad bad. So bad that it was actually causing my cheeks to have what appeared to be thickening skin. Wrinkles, some that were quite deep. My pores were huge and getting bigger day by day it seemed like. I know that it says to use this product every three days. I chose to go with every single day for the first box of eight. The results were so amazing I decided on everyday for the second box. Even more amazing results. EVERY SINGLE ISSUE LISTED ABOVE NO LONGER EXISTS!!!! I moisturize deeply after rinsing and my face looks absolutely amazing. My face did not even look like this at 30. I am hooked and I will be buying no less than three packs every single payday so I can stock up on this stuff in case they ever decide to quit selling it. If I had 10 stars available to rate I would use them and more!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I LOVE these caps so much! During Hurricane Ida, we had two trees fall on our home. I wore them daily as I was cleaning debris, tarping my roof, and helping others around me do the same. I love that they are high quality, made by women, for women. They are my go-to gift for friends, everyone loves how they accommodate ponytails and buns." —brittanygraybill

36. A cubic zirconia ring that's gonna make Mom feel like royalty wherever she goes. It looks almost as good as the real thing but without breaking the bank. She'll love adding this ring to her collection.
37. A lightweight, faux-leather tote for her to wear anywhere, anytime. It's made of faux leather, so it's lightweight and super easy to carry around. If she's into simple yet trendy everyday totes, then you can't go wrong with this one.
Promising review: "Best purchase ever! Great bag. Not bulky or heavy, super soft. Just the right size handle. Convenient inside pocket for easy access to your phone and ChapStick. Bought the black and hunter green. Buying the orange to give as a gift. You won’t be disappointed. Even came with a cute colorful mini scarf. Could have put it on the bag but instead a wear it as a headband." —marthafruit
Get it from Amazon for $15.49+ (available in two sizes and various colors).

Get it from Amazon for $7.48.
39. A liquid lipstick that actually lasts 24 hours. It goes on like a gloss and keeps lips moisturized all day long. No more worrying about touch-ups every five minutes, Mom!
Promising review: "This goes on and stays on! I love this lipstick line and plan on buying several more colors. The Blush On is a perfect mix of red and pink in my opinion and does favor the pink side of the color spectrum which I absolutely love. Apply the lipstick, wait two minutes (if you put your lips together after a min before the moisturizer, they can stick together and ruin your look), apply the moisturizer, and you are good to go. I typically only have to apply the moisturizer one or two times throughout the day depending on how much I eat or drink. Love this line!" —BestlaRose
Get it from Amazon for $8.53.
40. A set of four hanging planters for the mom who has a green thumb. Setting it up is a breeze — just screw in the hook, stretch the leg strings, and pop the pot right in the middle. Now they can show off their favorite plants and let them work their magic.

BuzzFeed editor Jenae Sitzes writes, "I am a Lazy Plant Mom who tends to let my new plants since in the plain pots they came in for wayyy too long, but when I finally get around to transferring them into cute pots, the difference it makes is huge. I love my big blue planter on the left above, and I also recently got those exact macrame hangers on the right; they look incredible in my window! They were super easy to install all on my own; it took me (as someone who is *not* good with a drill) maybe five minutes tops per hanger."
