Check out a TikTok of the automatic pan stirrer in action!
Promising review: "My husband loves to cook. We have two very small children, so while his meals are mostly yummy, they are also sometimes burnt. :) This was perfect for him. He's able to turn it on, run into the next room to save the day with a plastic bag and a washcloth for whatever blowout-esque mess I'm dealing with, forget he's cooking, run back into the kitchen frantically when he remembers, and arrive only to find the meal practically cooking itself. Best. Gift. Ever." —Jake the ChefturnedDaddy
Get it from Uncommon Goods for $25 (also available in a rechargeable version).

5. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom for Nintendo Switch, which ~just so happens~ to come out two days before Mother's Day and would make the *perfect* open-world adventure for you to get lost in after the kiddos are asleep or at school. 👀
Jenae: Tears of the Kingdom, for those unaware, is the direct sequel to 2017's mega hit Breath of the Wild, and it's easily the most anticipated Nintendo Switch game this year, maybe even the past *several* years. Though story details are somewhat slim, we know that Link will take to the skies and explore the mysterious islands floating *above* Hyrule as well as return to the sprawling landscapes below, with a host of new abilities to wield for puzzle-solving, exploration, and combat. I got the chance to play over an hour of Tears of the Kingdom at a recent Nintendo event, and it's gotten me seriously pumped for this latest Zelda adventure. Graphics- and gameplay-wise, it very much feels like Breath of the Wild, but with more freedom than ever before to manipulate the environment and get creative with how you approach, well, pretty much anything. I know I'll be diving in on release day (May 12!) and will probably lose over 100 hours of my life to TOTK like I did with BOTW, and if you love Zelda, open-world games, and (TBH) cozy vibes, it might just be the *best* way to treat yourself this Mother's Day.
Preorder it from Amazon for $69.99 (releases May 12; available physically or as a digital code, which can be redeemed on the Nintendo eShop). It's playable on any Nintendo Switch console, including Switch OLED and Switch Lite.
Psst — if you've been itching to get a new console lately or upgrade your current Switch model, Nintendo just released a *gorgeous* special edition of the OLED model for Tears of the Kingdom, available for $359.99!
6. A tiny initial necklace simple enough to wear every day. You can have it personalized with your own initial, your partner's, or your child's, making it both a stylish and meaningful accessory you can keep with you always.
7. Or a dainty zodiac necklace so no one will ever have to ask you, "Hey, what's your sign?" You can also have up to five birthstones added!
8. A question a day journal if you've always liked the idea of journaling but never found the time (or energy) to make it part of your schedule. This gives you just one question each day to consider, and after five years (!) you'll be able to look back at all of your answers and really chart your growth.
9. A faaaancy automatic spice grinder with the coolest design. To use, you'll swap in interchangeable pods filled with spices for grinding directly into your food — especially helpful when the recipe calls for a *lot* of pepper. It'll give you that freshly ground flavor that tastes way better than out of the shaker!
There's a reason it's one of Oprah's Favorite Things!
Former BuzzFeed Shopping editor Kayla Suazo says: "I got one of these snazzy kitchen gadgets, and now every time I use it I think to myself, 'How was I living life before this thing?!' It finely grinds salt down to that nice flaky texture, and then easy pops out the pod if I want to use pepper. I even got a different type of pod ideal for more oily spices (think mustard or flax seed). Now I am looking for reasons to use this thing... Salt on cake???"
Promising review: "I'm so glad I ordered one of these after I read about them on Oprah's list of favorite things. As billed, it's so attractive and can sit on your counter, so easy, the charge lasts so long and the interchangeable pods rock! It's easy to add freshly ground flavor and fresh pepper is sooo much better than from the shaker. It's so easy to adjust the grind and the color selection is fantastic. I love mine." —Sasha
Get it from Amazon for $44.99 (available in six colors; comes with grinder and two interchangeable pods).
10. A beautifully packaged Otherland candle to infuse your home with the smells of spring, including invigorating scents like Out of the Blue (blue hydrangea, sheer hyacinth, and water lily) and Clean Blossom (crisp linen, mimosa flower, and creamy gardenia).
11. An ultra-cute and trendy set of flower hair clips — these will have you channeling ~flower power~ every time you step outside the door. Reviewers say they're capable of holding up long, thick hair.
Check out seven ways to wear the clips on TikTok!
Promising review: "These clips are adorable. They are very study as well. You have to use the direct middle petal for them to open, but they hold a surprising amount of hair. I wasn’t expecting much due to the fact that I have very long very thick hair, but they can handle it. Good price and wonderful earthy colors as well." —Madison Austin
Get a set of six from Amazon for $12.98+ (available in five color combinations).
12. An Ember mug if you're constantly pouring yourself a hot mug of coffee or tea, then forgetting it while you chase around the kids or get busy with work on your computer. When you come back to it, it'll still be toasty warm, so you can finally enjoy your favorite hot bevy on your own schedule.
13. A bag of low-carb, sugar-free, gluten-free, soy-free, nut-free brownie mix that you can use to whip up a sweet treat that everyone in the family can enjoy regardless of diet restrictions. Just be sure to stash a few extras away for yourself since, you know, it *is* Mother's Day.
14. An Atlas Coffee Club subscription to ensure you stay well-stocked on coffee (and well-caffeinated), because it's truly the worst to wake up and realize you forgot to buy more beans during that last hectic grocery store trip. Bonus: You'll get to try coffee from all over the world, so you'll feel well-traveled without even getting on a flight.
15. A high-quality, extra-cushioned Lululemon yoga mat worth treating yourself to whether you're a longtime yogi or just starting out.
Jenae: "I have a very similar Lululemon yoga mat that I absolutely love! I use it not just for yoga but also for all of my indoor workouts (which I do with The Mirror, also from Lululemon — you can read my thoughts on that here). It's far more comfortable than performing moves directly on carpet (and certainly hard floors) and offers really nice padding for your knees and hands when you're down there doing a cat-cow pose. Its rubber base keeps it from slipping around too. It's super easy to clean with just a damp rag after a particularly sweaty session and dries fairly fast, after which point you can just roll it up and stash it in a corner or closet. Aside from its functionality, I adore how pretty it is, especially the colorful pastel swirl designs."
Get it from Lululemon for $98 (available in 19 styles and one size, which is 71x26 inches). You can check out their other yoga mat styles here, as there are options that are extra long or textured, for instance.
16. A customized rubber stamp to place your personal mark on your new and well-worn books to help your library feel specially curated. It also means that friend from your book club remembers *exactly* where to return your novel after they're done borrowing it.
17. An enormous, 5-pound bag of gummy bears because you shouldn't have to wait until Halloween to go ham on a bag of candy if you so desire. Sharing is optional!
18. A Fujifilm Instax instant film camera so you can flex your photography skills in a retro-style format and capture your family, friends, and favorite locations in instant prints — perfect for displaying on the fridge, along a wall, or at your desk so you can smile at the memories.
Promising reviews: "Great camera! Mostly a novelty, but still a lot of fun! Easy to use, clear instructions. Film is pricey, so take your pictures carefully. I am the mom in the family and it's my camera, but kids go wild wanting to take pictures with this camera! I like it because it gets them off their iPhone." —book&moviefan
"I had the regular version of Fujifilm Instax Mini but it broke. So I ordered this as a replacement and I couldn't be happier! This camera has double exposure and has more options for the photos to come out. Not only that, but it looks super cute, vintage, and love the battery is rechargeable. 10/10!" —Gisell
Get it from Amazon for $169+ (available in three colors and with add-on film packs).
19. A moody reversible octopus plush made to help little people express big feelings without having to say a word — but you might be tempted to pick one up for yourself and use this lil' guy for your own self-expression on days when mom life is, just, a LOT.
Check it out in this TikTok.
Promising review: "I ordered two of these adorable plushies, one for me and my mom. My mother loves hers. This little plush is very soft, and good quality, and it just puts you in a good mood. My son even loves playing with it. I was going to put this in my car, but I found that it helps my son to communicate his feelings when he doesn't have the right words to express himself. I definitely plan on buying more of this cute plushies." —Reigna Mingo
Get it from Amazon for $15 (available in many colors).
20. A winged eyeliner stamp so you never have to stress about whether you have time to put on eye makeup before you walk out the door (because if you're like me, doing it manually usually involves redoing one or both sides at least once). Be prepared for the other moms to start asking how your eyeliner has such perfect wings — it's up to you if you wanna share the secret!
Promising review: "I like makeup. I'm not an influencer or whatever; I'm just a Midwestern, middle-aged mom who LOVES A GOOD WING and who has tried every liner out there. I tried this because of BuzzFeed, and I'm not disappointed!! It's stayed dark, smudge-free, and sharp. I'm impressed. I definitely recommend this product, and will definitely buy it again! These wings are idiot-proof, Missouri-summer proof, and allergy-proof!!!!!" —Sarah Jackson
Get it from Amazon for $14.97 (available in three wing sizes and a combo pack with all three if you want ~options~).
21. A stainless-steel wine chiller that'll keep your rosé, chardonnay, or sparkling wine perfectly chilled while lounging in the park or by the pool — because you deserve better than sipping from a warm drink (ugh).
It fits most 750ml wine bottles and features a double-walled, vacuum-insulated design to keep the wine chilled for hours!
Promising review: "Would make a beautiful gift for a wine lover and I suspect our friends will be wanting one once they see us serving in ours. Really keeps white wine and champagne nice and cold. Every bottle we’ve tried so far has fit just fine as the top adjusts to the height of the bottle. Very, very pleased!" —Sherri
Get it from Amazon for $89.95 (available in 11 colors).
22. A set of adorable rainbow cat spoons, purrfect for stirring your morning tea or cream into coffee, making the ritual feel a little extra special. They even hang onto the side with their lil' arms so they don't slip down into the drink. Pure cuteness.
23. A Baby (Yoda) on Board sticker so you can flex your Star Wars fandom *and* warn other drivers to be careful while you're out and about with the family.
24. And an itty-bitty Baby Yoda speaker perfect for whipping out at the family barbecue or picnic when you want to get some music going. It may be small, but reviewers say it's loud for its size.
25. A DIY miniature bookstore model because hey, you might not be running your dream business just yet, but this is the next best thing in the meantime. It also comes in an art studio or greenhouse design!
26. A quality pair of silk pajamas worth every penny for how luxuriously soft and breathable they are (one reviewer even says they feel like being naked) with a slouchy oversized fit that won't feel suffocating. The best part: They're machine washable!
Though I haven't tried this sleep set yet, I have a silk robe from Lunya that my sister-in-law got me a couple of years ago and it's hands-down the most luxurious thing I own. It's true 100% silk (like these PJs) and has the most incredible buttery soft texture to it — so I can only imagine what it'd feel like to fall asleep in one of their silk sets. Psst — you can check out more of their washable silk styles if you prefer a long-sleeve set, for instance. And see our guide to the best silk pajamas for more options elsewhere!
Promising reviews: "I am so obsessed with this silk set. It is so comfortable to wear and the material is so soft. I live in Southern California, and this is the only thing I can wear in the summer. Unlike other material, this silk won’t add any warmth to your body. Just feels like being naked! Silk material does get wrinkle easily, but I don’t think these PJs wrinkle that bad, at least I don’t mind." —Smart10
"I cannot say enough how much I love Lunya silk pajamas. The sleep top is VERY oversized and loose, but in a good way. I find the photos of the fit on Lunya's website accurate, with the back of the top's length going past the shorts (I'm 5'5) . I find the shorts to be true to size. The best thing is these actually wash well and are so silky soft. I'm more of a neutrals fan, but ordered the pink and I'm obsessed." —JBJBJB33
Get them from Nordstrom or Lunya for $198 (available in women's sizes XS–2X and nine colors).
27. A pair of dainty heart-shaped hoops for a cute gift to yourself, because what better gift is there than self-love? All right, cheesiness aside, these look really cool on your ears without being too distracting or heavy.
28. A set of quality linen sheets if you've been craving new bedding forever — if there's anything worth splurging on for yourself, it's something you use on the daily for hours on end! With warm weather coming up, you'll be glad to know these will keep you cool through the summer, but they'll be just as warm and cozy during the winter. Plus, they come in the dreamiest colors that'll let you live out your cottagecore fantasies.
29. A brightening face mask, which is basically like an at-home facial without the hassle or extra cost of going to the spa. It's made from 100% pure, edible fruits like lucuma, papaya, and sea buckthorn berry and packed with vitamin C, leaving your skin noticeably softer, more even, and positively radiant afterward.
30. A Selenite skyscraper for your crystal collection or other magical-themed decor. Selenite is a stone for mental clarity, flexibility, and decision-making, according to enthusiasts, so it sure doesn't hurt to have around while you're on mom duty.
31. A mini illuminated relaxation waterfall to help you recenter and block out the noise for a little while. The pump itself is quiet, but the gentle sound of trickling water is just enough to drown out loud thoughts and help you feel calm and relaxed. This would be great to put in your home office or bedroom.
Promising review: "Awesome addition to my workspace environment. I've tried several fountains so far. This one is awesome, the pump is quiet, as is the water, it simply provides a really nice environmental impact on my workspace. I run it up to eight hours in a day, use distilled water only and clean it periodically, and it's running just like new after several weeks. Not all of the fountains that I've tried work quite so well, I'm impressed and happy with this purchase. Six-month update: If I could give this thing 6 stars, I would. It runs so quiet, and I nearly let it go dry last weekend *(three-day weekend and forgot to turn it off...) — once I filled it up again it was just as quiet as ever. I'm beyond impressed. Still cleaning it periodically and using only distilled water." —Rod
Get it from Amazon for $25.82.
32. A set of three fermentation lids if you're of the opinion that most things taste better pickled (because hard agree) or just like trying new things in the kitchen. From carrots and cucumbers to tomatoes and cabbage, the options for pickling are endless, and you'll have some tasty snacks and meal toppers when they're ready.
The set comes with three lids and one pump (jars not included).
Promising review: "I am a first-time fermenter and was very pleased with this kit. I made dill pickles and some mixed veggies (cauliflower, carrots, onions, and green beans). They all turned out yummy. I used half gallon jars and the glass weights, and didn't have any mold problems! I was not prepared for the smells though. Love this product as it makes it so easy to get some tasty probiotics into your gut." —Claudia Turner
Get it from Amazon for $21.99.
33. A subscription to Book of the Month so you always have a good book waiting for you when you finally have a second to yourself.
34. A bottle of ultra-fancy olive oil you can whip out for those fancier at-home date night meals or any dish that could use a little extra oomph. It has a smooth, nutty flavor profile with subtle tomato and green pear notes — just imagine sautéing some fresh veggies in this stuff.
35. A chunky knit satin-lined beanie to keep your head warm on chilly days and hair pushed back without disrupting your curls or hair style. This small biz also makes a satin-lined baseball cap with a scrunchie-style back that allows for multiple hair styles, great for those busy summer days and trips where you're running around.
36. A double-walled glass with a charming upside-down animal design that any young kiddos will most definitely want to use too, but thankfully it's fairly resistant to drops. It might seem a bit childish, but none of us are too old to laugh at an upside-down bear filled with milk.
37. The gorgeous Always Pan from Our Place, which will make you regret all the times you dirtied up six different dishes to make a family meal. The Always Pan can do it all: braise, sear, steam, strain, sauté, fry, boil, serve, and store. It's also sooo lightweight and compact and comes in *gorgeous* colors to match your aesthetic.
It comes with a beechwood spatula, custom stainless-steel steamer basket, modular lid, and of course, the pan.
Our Place was founded by Shiza Shahid, along with Amir Tehrani and Zach Rosner. She's a Pakistani social entrepreneur who also co-founded the non-profit Malala Fund, which promotes education for young girls.
Bek: "I have and love this pan! It just feels really nice to hold. The nesting spoon is absolutely genius, everything cooks evenly, and food just glides right off with minimal effort. If you hate scrubbing, consider getting this!"
Jenae: "I *also* have this pan and it's quickly become my new go-to pan for cooking. I've used it for everything from boiling water for instant ramen to sautéing vegetables, and I'm always blown away by how well everything cooks without sticking. And cleanup is a breeze — you'll never have to leave this soaking overnight because of stuck-on food bits."
Get it from Our Place for $115 (originally $150; available in eight colors).
38. A bottle of Mike's Hot Honey so you can add a sweet-spicy kick to your own plate next time the family's having pizza, grilled cheese, spaghetti, chicken nuggets... pretty much anything is made better with this.
Promising review: "This stuff is amazing. I keep finding things to put it on. It definitely has a kick but you get used to it after a few times. I’ve used it on veggies (acorn squash was awesome), steak, salmon, and chicken nuggets that I stole from my kids. All awesome. The only thing it didn’t go great on was tacos. But you win some, you lose some. The sweetness of the honey just didn’t have a place on tacos. Love this stuff, though." —A. Shank
Get a 10-ounce bottle from Amazon for $13.49 (available in other sizes and pack sizes, and two other flavors: spicy and extra hot).
Check out BuzzFeed's Mike's Hot Honey review for more info!

Promising review: "I received my first one in the mail. It was so easy and smooth going on. Two coats later, AMAZING, vibrant, beautiful color. The way the light dances off of my nails, the sun shining off the polish, the prismatic guess have me mesmerized. Yep, I picked two more colors a week later. My daughter is now hooked as well.
