4. Or an equally funny mug with a similar sentiment that'll put all your siblings' gifts (and your siblings themselves) to shame.

Amazon

Promising review: "I didn't purchase this, but my son did. He wanted to make a statement and insisted that I open his present first on Christmas. I have four children and it is an ongoing thing with them saying and trying to get me to say that they are my favorite child! Of course I get around it every time. Lol! But I loved it and will be using it all the time with my other mugs. I believe it is dishwasher safe. Such a fun gift to receive!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $16.97.

5. A hydrating sheet mask set so she can give herself the pampering she deserves.

Amazon, amazon.com

Over 4,000 Amazon reviewers swear by these masks, which come in an assortment of varieties like cucumber, green tea, and gold. Each one contains vitamin E and collagen that'll leave your ma's face feeling fresh and glowy.

Promising review: "I absolutely love these face sheets. They're an incredible steal; you can't beat this price! The pack will last you a long time. I love all of the sheets for different reasons. I love that it's a variety pack so you can revitalize your skin in different ways depending on the sheet. My favorite is the Q10. I can feel it working after I take it off. Normally I would wash off my face after a face mask, but with these sheets you should just simply dab off the excess. This way, your skin will soak up the collagen and whatever added vitamins/ingredients are on that particular sheet. They leave your skin looking radiant throughout the day — I love it!" —LW

Get a set of 16 from Amazon for $9.99.

6. A KeySmart tool that can hold up to 10 keys, clip onto other key ring items, and allow her to easily pop out the one she needs. Because right now, her key ring is so crowded and noisy you can hear her coming from miles away.

Get it from Amazon for $12.95.

8. A customized photo calendar so she'll be treated to a different fave family photo every month. It's got a wood base that'll look oh-so-pretty on her desk, and it's a practical *and* personal gift that won't break the bank.

Get it from 1-800-Flowers for $24.99.

10. An adorable egg cooker that can give your most eggs-ellent mama up to six perfect hard-boiled eggs in 12–15 minutes, no actual boiling water required. Because she's an expert when it comes to making snacks and breakfast, but doesn't have much egg-stra time.

Amazon, Marquaysa Battle/BuzzFeed

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Marquaysa Battle swears by this! She writes, "I needed a quick way to make breakfast that worked with the depleted energy levels I was running on. Enter, my beloved, blessed egg cooker. This thing may be small but it makes a big difference! It comes with a removable lid, a book of instructions and recipes, a tray that holds up to six eggs, a tray for making poached eggs and omelets, and a tiny container for filling up the cooker with enough water to get your eggs to the level of 'done' that you like including soft, medium, and hard. And it's so easy to use! All you have to do is fill up the container with the amount of water you need. Then, use the bottom of the container (which has a poker) to put a tiny hole on the smaller end of each egg. Once the water is in and the eggs are properly poked, it only takes one button to get the cooking started (which is my mom's favorite thing about the egg cooker). And when the eggs are done? Those babies are DELICIOUS! I threw some Himalayan salt, paprika, and a green herb mix on mine. They taste better that way to me but I also feel like a lil' chef with the presentation 🤪. I used my egg cooker the same day I got it in the mail and I have honestly used it almost every day since."

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in five colors).

11. A set of heartfelt letters you can fill out for her to read now and later.

Amazon

Each fill-in-the-blank message comes with a labeled enveloped that says something like, "Read me when you miss me," or "Read me when you need a good laugh." And don't worry, there's one that says "Read me when you get this," so she can enjoy one of your sweet notes write away.

Promising review: "My mom absolutely loved these sweet cards! I gave them to her for Mother's Day and she was so moved. What a great idea!!! I would give it 100 stars if I could!" —Loveluna

Amazon

Promising review: "Great gift. I bought this as a gift for my sister, who truly is a badass, but also has to work around prim and proper people. It can remind her of who she is while also sticking it to the people she’s always around at work. Bwhahahahaha!" —Haley

Glossier

Promising review: "One of my favorite products ever. Amazingly moisturizing! Although I have generally oily skin, some areas can get extremely dry. I use this on my lips, elbows, cuticles, and anywhere that just needs a little extra moisturizing. No irritation, glides on smooth and nourishes. Love the original and the mango versions the best. One of my most-recommended Glossier products!" —Camilla

Get it from Glossier for $12 (available in eight flavors/tints).

Amazon

It fits up to nine generations on both sides.

Promising review: "This chart is SO cool! It's printed on high-quality, aesthetically pleasing paper and it makes it so easy to see your ancestors. You can fill in your ancestry and then frame it. It makes a beautiful conversation piece, and it made for a great family evening at home talking about genealogy." —susan j. page

Get it from Amazon for $19.99.

Amazon, amazon.com

Promising review: "This milk frother is very easy to use and only takes about 15 seconds to froth milk. We use ours every day for lattes and frothy hot chocolate. The sleek design makes it easy to hold while using. It comes with a stand, so it's easy to store on top of your kitchen counter or anywhere. It seems to hold its battery life; we purchased ours in early November (it's now January) and haven't had to replace the batteries yet. This is a great gift and you can't beat the price! You won't be disappointed!" —Bono

Promising review: "These handmade pots are the most adorable little pots I've ever seen. They look and feel to be very well made and I love all the detail work. Plus they are pretty durable, because I've had these for a few weeks now and my toddler got a hold of them a few times and they didn't crack, chip, or break. They are made of clay that's breathable, which makes them perfect for plants. I have also been using them in the bathroom for toiletries and another one I'm using for pens and coins. I highly recommend these super cute multipurpose pots." —Dave Stanley

This is the perfect topper so you can put your wine back in the fridge on its side and not have to worry about it spilling. It was a great aerator too. You don't need all the tools when you have this little guy. I bought three in total. One for my mom, too!" —Jenna

Promising review: "I generally go through at least three bars of soap in month. This soap has lasted the entire month and I still have a good-sized portion left. It hasn't broken into tiny pieces like my usual soap. It also smells great and adds moisture to my dry skin. I'll be ordering more and trying the other fragrances. Great as a gift. This will be on my Christmas list this year." —Kuda
