1. A cheeky mug that'll put all your siblings' gifts (and your siblings themselves) to shame.
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.
2. 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.
Promising review: "Quality. Perfect for moms." —Pamela Stafford
Get them from Amazon for $13.89+ (available in two colors).
3. A downright silly Golden Girls planter that comes completely ready to display with a faux succulent. Pick her fave character or get the whole set to ~thank her for being a friend~.
4. 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.
I got my mom this for Mother's Day a couple of years ago, and she loves it!!!
Promising review: "Fun little bottle stop with a little bit of character. Makes me smile when I open my wine." —Owen Taylor
Get it from Amazon for $12.95.
5. 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.
Promising review: "I would give these 10 stars if I could, but I'm sure Freya would give it a -3. I think she looks like an angelic banana, but she is not amused. I don't believe this causes her physical discomfort, but her self-esteem has plummeted. Long story short, makes your cat look stupid, as planned. LOL." —Amazon Customer
Get one in a random fruit from Amazon for $7.99.
6. 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.
The tantalizing recipes include "Dripping Thighs," "Mustard-Spanked Chicken," and "Chicken with a Lardon." Plus, the book is divided into three sections — "The Novice Bird," "Falling to Pieces," and "Advanced Techniques" — so every chef is sure to find something that turns them on.
Promising review: "I am so in love with this book. This book is so funny and made a great read, but I also found so many other ways to cook chicken. Great ideas and great book." —AmandaPolite
Get it from Amazon for $11.26+, Barnes & Noble for for $17.99, or Bookshop (to support local booksellers) for $18.39.
7. 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?
Promising review: "This was the coolest gift I've given in a while. They were a big hit!" —Uncommon Goods customer
Get it from Uncommon Goods for $18.99+ (available in three colors) or from Amazon for $12.50+ (available in six styles).
8. A sassy oven mitt she'll cackle at every time she pulls one of her delicious dishes out of the oven.
Promising review: "Hilarious oven mitt that isn't just an image that's printed on a cheap oven mitt, which is so often the case. Blue Q actually went and took a quality oven mitt to put their image on — it works great and handles heat really well, so we're super happy that we get to actually use it for it's intended purpose while giggling about undoing our pants. It's a great buy and would make anyone a nice quality gift. A+" —Quantum Entanglements
9. 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."
It's got over 4,000 positive Amazon reviews from parents who have found it a little TOO REAL.
Promising review: "Could not stop laughing. As a mother of three grown children a year apart and a grandmother of four, I know plenty about toddlers. I originally bought this for my daughter, but she's too busy with her little joys to read. And it is true grandma revenge!" —Carol LaPerchia
Get it from Amazon for $8.59, Barnes & Noble for $9.95, or from Bookshop (to support local booksellers) for $10.18.
10. An out-of-this-world sweatshirt geeky and pun-loving mamas will wear with pride — there'll be no need to ~force~ them.
Get it from Box Lunch for $35.92 (originally $44.90; available in unisex sizes S–2XL).
11. Or some fun lightsaber chopsticks she'll adore even if she used to have to beg 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
Get two pairs from Amazon for $12.97 (available in two styles).
12. A 1,000-piece pooping dogs puzzle featuring all kinds of different breeds (and even a fox) doing their business that's sure to be a family fave. Shoutout to my grandpa who once famously slammed on the brakes of his car and yelled to my aunt and uncle, "Look kids! That dog's taking a crap!"
My mom just bought this for my aunt for that very reason. 😂
Promising review: "Really good quality and soooo funny. This puzzle is great! Honestly because it’s sort of a funny prank gift, I thought it wasn’t going to be good quality. But it’s actually REALLY nice! The pieces are thick and good quality and a huge variety of shapes that fit together really well. We are big puzzle fans and this one turned out to be one of our favorites — it’s funny, fun to do, and a really nice, solid puzzle! I will totally buy this again for a gift!" —A. Kay
Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in five styles, including a 100-piece version, and in matching coasters).
13. A ~clucking~ fantastic rubber chicken purse that simply can't be beak for giving your mom a laugh *and* scoring her compliments.
Promising review: "So being a student of vintage comedy, when I heard there was a rubber chicken purse, I did not hesitate. I was carrying it, and women were breezing past me saying, 'That's an AWESOME purse!' Friends who know me well go wild over it and say that 'It's so you.' Plenty of room. My only very minor complaint is that the zipper is more narrow than the bag itself (wish it went all the way to the end of the tail), and I have to turn my wide pocketbook on its side to get it out. That said, if you like the style, go for it. You won't regret it." —Kubelsky
Get it from Amazon for $34.99.
14. A mom-themed coloring book to help her unwind after a long day of being the best (but also most stressed) mama ever.
Promising review: "This coloring book is SO AWESOME! It's funny, adorable, and so much fun to color. I love that it includes both intricate detailed pages and ones that are more like conventional kid's coloring pages. I really love the detailed pages, but sometimes I just want to color something without having to worry too much about not being sloppy. I think it's great that I have the option with this one. I also love that the back of each page is black and has its own special design; it helps with pens/makers bleeding through AND looks cute! This is an excellent adult coloring book. I will absolutely purchase it again both for myself AND as a gift for the moms in my family." —liza
Get it from Amazon for $3.99.
15. 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.
Since you can immediately download the pattern and print it yourself, this makes a great last-minute gift! This Albany-based shop has lots of fun designs if you wanna gift Mom a whole bundle.
Promising review: "This chart gave me a good laugh. Excellent for my fart-loving partner. A very well-put-together chart; perfect for beginners and a nice easy design for advanced stitchers who just want something simple between their larger projects. I look forward to stitching it. :D" —Lizzie Crankybum
Get it from JacktheStitcher on Etsy for $6.25.
16. 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.
Examples include "tree clip art," "a baby dolphin's love," and "a tattoo of a ladybug." It's true! She is more beautiful than all those things!
Promising review: "Helps cheer me up. I struggle with affirmations, and I think a lot of them are cheesy. This book is great — sends the positive message with a little humor!" —nichole
Get it from Amazon for $11.80.
17. 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
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
18. 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 $15.95+ (available in two colors and 10 sayings).
19. 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
Get it from Amazon for $19.95.
20. 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 11,000 (!!!!) positive ratings 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
Get it from Amazon for $9.28.
21. 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.
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in two sizes and two colors).
22. 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?!?!
23. A LOL-worthy tortilla blanket so she can fulfill her lifelong dream of becoming a human burrito.
Promising review: "Perfect gift! Looks delicious. The blanket legit looks like a giant tortilla. It is so soft and would be perfect for one of those lazy days on the couch. This is such a fun gift!! I got this for a friend's bday gift and he was thrilled. He eats burritos like four times a week though, so this was too fitting for him. 😂" —shae
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five sizes and eight styles, including pizza and waffle versions and ones with fleece lining).
24. And a splurge-worthy masterpiece of a novelty handbag for the mom who's always down to order pizza with you 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.
Promising review: "Definitely a statement piece and be prepared to get lots of compliments. Everywhere I go with this bag, it magically seems to stop people in their tracks and is an instant conversation starter. I personally am infused with so much joy every time I carry it. My favorite parts are the mini shakers...the pearls for parmesan cheese?! Absolutely genius!" —emily
Get it from Kate Spade for $498.
