Hi shoppers! At this point, it's likely that some gifts may not arrive in time for 5/14: it all depends on the retailer, the item, where you live, and how much $$$ you're willing to spend on expedited shipping.
So please enjoy our gift ideas, but understand that, for many of these items, you'll simply have to let your loved one know that their gift may be arriving *later*.
1. A cheeky mug that'll put all your siblings' gifts (and your siblings themselves) to shame.
2. A genius bottle stopper featuring a fellow who's had a little too much — he'll fall over if she presses the stopper down! She's about to be the biggest hit of the wine mom Zoom call.
3. A LOL-worthy fruit-shaped cat cap any cat mom will want to put on their fur baby ASAP. Also, if your mom doesn't already run an Insta for the family kitty, this is the perfect reason to start.
4. Clever stainless-steel drop earrings echoing a phrase you've heard your mom say many times. Granted, it's usually in reference to how you react to receiving instructions or advice, rather than phrases that'd look cute on jewelry, but she'll appreciate that you at least listened to *part* of what she said.
5. For moms who are cool with R-rated jokes, Fifty Shades of Chicken, a hilariously steamy cookbook full of 50 Shades of Grey parody passages (from the point of view of the chicken) before every recipe. Oh, plus pics of shirtless dudes handling the bird. Yes, really.
6. A hilariously stylish can koozy that looks a heck of a lot like her favorite winter coat. Because who hasn't ever dreamt of matching with their beer?
7. An OMG-worthy set of Golden Girls cast-shaped ceramic mugs by artist Jerrod Maruyama that'll become the stars of her servingware collection and her fave vessels for cocktails. Sipping from these while rewatching your fave episode together for the 17th time = heaven.
Promising review: "This set is adorable…Rose is holding Fernando, Sophia has her wicker purse, Blanche has some cheesecake, and Dorothy has the look on her face like she just told Stan he makes her want to vomit! Perfect for any Golden Girls fan!" —Kettah

Get a set of four from Amazon for $99.99. Each of the ladies are also available individually for $29.99+ (available in Rose, Blanche, Sophia, and Dorothy).
8. A sassy oven mitt she'll cackle at every time she pulls one of her delicious dishes out of the oven.
9. A cute, whimsical, and ~sty~lish felt pig dishwasher magnet sure to make her *squeal* with joy — both at the cute little face and the fact she'll never have to yell through the house to ask about the state of the silverware again.
Promising review: "Simple, cute, and helps everyone in the house know if the dishes are clean or not. Comes with a stick on piece of metal if your washer isn't magnetic." —Brittany Brooke

10. Toddlers Are A**holes: It's Not Your Fault, a book that'll make anyone who has (or has ever had) a young kid absolutely crack up. And let's face it — they REALLY NEED a break from "Baby Shark."
11. An out-of-this-world sweatshirt geeky and pun-loving mamas will wear with pride — there'll be no need to ~force~ them.
12. Or some fun light saber chopsticks she'll adore even if she used to have to ~force~ you to stop playing with your food. Now, she'll finally be the one having eating utensil battles over dinner!
BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord loves these. She writes: "As you can see from the above GIF, I bought these for myself, and I love them to pieces. TBH, I use them as decor every bit as much as I use them to eat. Sometimes I just keep them in my work area to light them up during the day to feel fancy. They toggle back and forth between a bunch of different colors, like red, blue, yellow, purple, and multicolor, so you can either make them match *or* have a red and blue one together and bring ~balance~ to the Force."
Promising review: "The chopsticks are very durable, and the glow is bright. They're a bit bigger than I expected — but very pleased nonetheless with the product because it serves the purpose and is entertaining for kids, right up to adult Star Wars nerds. It also made the perfect gift for my fellow Star Wars nerds. I've been too busy playing with them rather than using them to eat food — but hopefully, that will eventually happen before the batteries need changing." —Anthony

13. A ~clucking~ fantastic rubber chicken purse that simply can't be beak for giving your mom a laugh *and* scoring her compliments.
14. A mom-themed coloring book to help her unwind after a long day of being the best (but also most stressed) mama ever.
15. A hilarious kitchen towel for the mom who's known for her green thumb — and goofy sense of humor.
It's from a North Carolina-based small biz that makes all sorts of funny towels!
Promising review: "This is darling, pure and simple. The material is fantastic and perfect for actual use. The downside is it’s so adorable I’ll just hang it next to my plants. The design is simple but clear with no variation in the print." —Jason

Get it from MoonlightMakers on Amazon Handmade for $14.95+ (available in two colors and seven sayings).
16. An instantly downloadable cross-stitch template that'll make a satisfying project for the woman who has put up with your farts for decades. Poor thing.
17. A snoozing Pokémon desk buddy who might elicit both "awwwws" and giggles, especially if your mom is like mine and has been laughing every time she hears the word "Snorlax" since 1998. The lil' beanbag it comes with is three things in one: 1) a cozy bed for her pocket monster, 2) something she can satisfyingly squish during the workday, and 3) able to be flipped over and used as a screen cleaner! TL;DR, this gift is the very best — like no one ever was.
I got Snorlax in my stocking this year, and I LOVE him! He can lie down or stand up on his beanbag (though Snorlaxes aren't known for being upright creatures), and he just brings me joy. I futz with him constantly throughout the day. He's my pal!
Promising review: "Perfect. This was a gift and she absolutely loved it. It's a perfect desk companion, since it fits in the palm of your hand." —Sarah Miller

18. A crab spoon rest that'll do a ~clawsome~ job of keeping her utensil at the ready. I bet even Ariel would be glad to rest a dinglehopper on one of these.
Promising review: "I have absolutely no good reason for buying a small crab spoon holder. However, I find Sebastian to be delightful and happy. Even when he's not holding a spoon, he's functional — it looks like he's cheering me on when I cook! No, he doesn't always stay standing, and no, the spoon doesn't always fit seamlessly into his little claws, but I didn't expect him to be perfect. I love him, and I'm glad I live in a world where I can buy whimsical things for my kitchen. Happy day!" —Sarah

19. Elizavecca Milky Piggy carbonated bubble clay mask, a top-rated, blackhead-banishing, and just plain F-U-N mask that'll start to bubble once she applies it. Even without the skin benefits, it'd be worth it for the selfies. (Which she has to promise to send you!)
It has over 5,000 (!!!!) positive reviews and comes with an application spatula. I have this and have so much fun doing it with my mom!!!
Promising review: "Wow! I purchased this on a whim after seeing one of my favorite YouTubers try it out. I didn't expect a lot from it. I tried it out and was shocked!!! The mask was simple (and fun) to use. I wasn't sure I felt a lot happening while it was on, but it was pretty cool how the bubbles started to grow off of my face. Upon inspection after using this mask I was completely amazed. My face felt cleaner than it has in a very long time, AND my pores looked amazing! I don't remember a time when I felt like my pores looked great before using this mask. I would highly recommend this mask to anyone. It's also so much cheaper than the GlamGlow ones I have been using (and didn't see near these results from)." —K. Textor

20. A whimsical mermaid tail float for moms that 1) have a pool and 2) would enjoy being transformed into a mermaid (and I mean, who among us would not?). If that sounds like her, this definitely needs to be ~part of her world.~
Promising review: "So much fun and it’s not just a cheaply made novelty toy that’s fun for a few pics. It’s actually made well and a great size. When I was getting into the water with it, everyone was cracking up! It will definitely get everyone’s attention and get them laughing. It was such a hit that before I knew it; my son and his friends were taking it over!!! Get it — you won’t regret it. It is made for adults, not kids, and if I had to say anything negative about it, it would be that it didn’t have cup holders or handles. I would probably just use it in a pool or a very calm river." —Molly P.

21. A TikTok-famous floating pasta timer who goes by the name of Al Dente (LOL!) and who will sing a different melody (including the Godfather theme) seven, nine, and 11 minutes into cooking so she'll never overcook her famous noodles again. Who comes up with this stuff?!?!
Check this dude out on TikTok.
Promising review: "Fun little kitchen gadget — it really works. Bought this as a gift last January and ending up keeping it with the plan of buying several more to give as Christmas gifts this year." —KW

22. A cute pastel eye mask with a message that's a huge mood for any mom who has ever attempted to relax.
23. I Am More Beautiful Than... — a cheeky book of adorable illustrated affirmations listing a bunch of random stuff she is, in fact, more beautiful than. She'll LOL but also be very touched.
24. And a splurge-worthy masterpiece of a novelty handbag for the mom who's always down to order pizza no matter how many groceries you have in the fridge. Excuse me, I cannot get over the little shaker charms with PEARL PARMESAN AND SEQUIN CHILI FLAKES.
Your mom opening her gift:
