1. A Kindle Paperwhite so she can enjoy her favorite reads from anywhere. Bonus: It's easy to read even when it's super sunny outside, AND it's waterproof.
Promising review: "This year, I am traveling to many different countries and have been reading more than I have ever been. I did not want to take physical books with me on trips for the obvious reason that it takes up space and weighs down my luggage. That’s when I decided to see about the Kindle Paperwhite. Man, am I pleasantly surprised by this device. It’s compact, portable, really minimizes glare, and the backlight is phenomenal for reading in different lighting. In fact, I can now read in the dark without keeping my husband awake with a reading light." —LinaRi

2. A charcuterie board that'll allow mom to entertain in style. Even if all she's doing is entertaining for one. (If your mom is making a cheese board for only herself, tell her she rocks and I wanna be her bestie.)
This is a set that comes complete with four bowls (perfect for accompaniments like fruit, nuts, and jams) and a four-piece knife set.
Promising review: "It really is beautiful! The packaging is super elegant! The wood is nice and thick. The ceramic dishes are generous in size, and four was really enough for the kalamata olives, pickled onions, roasted peppers, and black olives. All three cheeses fit nicely in the center. The utensils worked very well, and storing them inside was a nice touch. The magnetic closure worked well. Overall, we really liked it, and will use it each time we have an 'appetizer meal.' It is beautiful as well as practical!" —Mona

Promising review: "These are amazing slippers. A strong enough sole to go run errands in and incredibly warm and comfortable. Super-soft inside. I have a scar on the side of my foot, so width is always a concern, and these do not bother me at all." —Ortiz Family

10. A fill-in-the-blank book for completing 64 pages of sentimental, funny, and sweet prompts about your fave lady and all the wonderful memories you've shared together.
Knock Knock — the brand that makes this awesome book — used to make a very similar version of this book that's no longer available on Amazon. I got that book for my mom for Mother's Day a few years ago, and she LOVED IT. My mom is a very typical "I don't want any gifts; I just want to spend time with you and your brother," mom, which is VERY cute and sweet, but doesn't help me out when I'm trying to shop for gifts for her!!! She adored reading this from start to finish (screenshot of a text from her above about how much she loved it — I did not make her say that, I promise!!!) and every year I wonder how on Earth I'm ever going to top this gift from years ago. It was so good that I just had to get my dad the dad version for Father's Day that same year.
One small tip: If you buy this, I highly recommend planning out your answers to each prompt on a separate piece of paper first so as to avoid spelling mistakes or scribbling out wrong answers.
Get it from Amazon for $10.81.

12. A weaving loom that'll allow mom to master a new skill and take up a cool hobby.
BuzzFeed editor Chelsea Stuart loves hers:
"My boyfriend got me this loom for my last birthday — the very beginning of March — and little did I know then just how much time I’d have to practice my tapestries. Over the last few months, I’ve watched countless YouTube tutorials, read through a few weaving books, and just tooled around on my own to learn basics like how to wrap the loom and then more complicated things like different types of weaves. I would definitely call myself a crafty person, but even if you’re not, don’t let that dissuade you — it’s a really fun hobby to pick up, and you can totally go at your own pace! Just make sure you keep it away from your cats (I learned this the hard way)."

Promising review: "Long before quarantine days, I was a nail salon regular. Once lockdown really hit, I realized I needed to take my manicure ~into my own hands~. These Gellen gel polishes give salon-quality results at home. Truly, I can get a full two weeks without peeling/chipping/breaking. The amount of $$$ I have saved..." —Kayla Suazo

14. And a high-power UV nail lamp that boasts it can cure gel manicures two times faster than regular nail lamps. This means mom can spend less time perfecting her manicure and more time doing her favorite things.
Promising review: "I got this nail dryer because I wanted to do gel nails at home. It works well, and I like the time counter on it. It usually takes anywhere from three to five minutes or longer for my gel to dry depending on the coat. I definitely recommend this if you like gel nails and want to save money." —Bezli

The grill size of this model is larger than the previous model. It makes cooking fun again. Delicious, easy meals. What's not to love? I couldn't be happier." —Ally

21. A Book of the Month subscription to help take the guesswork out of picking her next read. Each month, she'll choose from a selection of great books she wants delivered. If nothing strikes her interest, she can save her credit and apply it toward a future month instead.
I joined Book of the Month about a year ago because I wanted to read People We Meet on Vacation and my local library had a waitlist. I thought I'd sign up for one month and cancel my subscription right after, but I am here to say that was not the case. I'm hooked on my BOTM subscription and can't recommend it enough.
At the start of each month, they add a small selection of new books to the app. These books span all sorts of genres, include reads from new authors and returning favorites, and some even have a theme (aka spooky reads for October and holiday reads for December). You can choose up to three books per month. All three of your selections can be from that month's book picks, or you can pick a book or two from that month's selections and choose add-on books — I've been doing this lately, as I'm working on creating my own little ~home library bookshelf.~ If you don't like any of their monthly selections, that is A-OK! Simply skip that month, and a credit will be applied toward future months.
It is such a fun thing to treat myself to each month and makes for a perfect gift (both to yourself and to loved ones). If you need more convincing, check out our full write-up of Book of the Month here. Happy reading!
Subscribe to Book of the Month for $14.99/month (if it's a new subscription, get the first book for $9.99 when you enter code GETFUN at checkout).

Promising review: "My best friend is always telling me new facts about the most random things, so when I saw this, I knew it had to be added to his bookshelf.

I’ve had my machine a couple of weeks now, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in a pod type of machine. It makes way better tasting coffee than my previous machine did." —K Dunn

Promising review: "Do you have a few hours? Because I need to tell you about this neck pillow thing my wife just got me. Imagine your neck is swimming in a bowl full of noodles, unable to grasp any support through the turbulence on your flight from LAX to, say, PIT. Then, imagine, just as your neck is about to drown in the limp pasta, a hand reaches down from the heavens, and baby Jesus himself wraps your supple, tired neck, barely keeping its cricoid above the surface of the linguini soak, in a velvety, form-fitting embrace. Sure, other necks in the pot are just fine...floating casually next to you, but your neck, your poor poor neck, is writing goodbye letters to its loved ones — clavicles, humeri, and the like — as it can't imagine keeping up this pace for much longer. But then, the sweet Jesus baby appears and wraps it up in what might as well be the brazier of the mighty Athena...and all troubles are forgotten. This is how I felt when I first strapped on Trtl Neck Pillow. My weary neck works all night, sleeps all day — and knowing that Trtl has its back on red-eye flights makes all the difference. My neck has said 'sayonara' to floundering with fettuccini and 'hello' to raging with the rigatoni." —Traveled

Everything they show me is correct, and also I learned about another condition that could happen so I can correct it now. Also when you think you have everything you need, they still keep sending emails with more information they get about my DNA and new relatives. You should try!" —CINDY CARDENAS

39. An Instant Pot – it'll pretty much become mom's new favorite gadget: This thing is a pressure cooker, a slow cooker, a rice cooker, a steamer, a sauté-er, a yogurt maker, and a warmer all in ONE.
It can prepare food up to 70% faster than other methods. It can keep food warm automatically for up to 10 hours, and there are three temperatures for sautéing and slow-cooking. The inner cooking pot, lid, and steam-rack are dishwasher-safe! Check out Instant Pot review!
Promising review: "This is quite possibly the coolest, most versatile kitchen gadget I’ve ever owned. I love it so much that I’ve purchased two more for friends and relatives. What can it do? I think the real question is 'What can’t it do?' I truly believe you could replace every cooking appliance (including your oven and stove top) and do EVERYTHING in the Instant Pot. I purchased two sizes for my own use: the 3-quart (which is my almost-every-day workhorse for two person dishes) and the 8-quart (which I bring out to handle my dinner party dishes). Everything I’ve tried has been fabulous. In the realm of kitchen appliances, there is no better investment than the Instant Pot. Highly recommended!!!" —Stereoman

40. A speaker that delivers excellent sound quality for all of mom's favorite jams no matter where she uses it. Not to mention, just LOOK at its sleek design.
BuzzFeed editor Maitland Quitmeyer swears by it:
"I *love* this little speaker — it lives right on my bookshelves (without taking up basically *any* room) and fills my apartment with high-quality sound. The lil' portable size is perfect so I can grab it and take it into the kitchen for baking jams™ or into my bathroom for my latest in-shower karaoke session (sorry neighbors). It's adorable, but the sound is crisp, powerful, and well rounded. Pairing it with my phone was incredibly easy, and it reconnects almost instantly as soon as I turn it on, so it's super user-friendly. I also barely *ever* have to charge it, which is important to me. And yes, that *is* a Jane Austen action figure next to it."

41. A Disney parent and baby sock set because what is cuter than a new mama and her little newborn cherub wearing ADORABLE matching socks?! Nothing, that's what!

Promising review: "The socks are fantastic. The charity that goes with them is wonderful, and the packaging is amazing. May add more as gifts to everyone in the family. Bought myself some, and they are best socks ever. Fit snuggly on legs but don't cut in at the top as most of my socks do." —Sandra C.

42. A mesh watch that'll work wonderfully for everyday use. You truly can't go wrong with gifting mom a brand-new watch. It's basically a scientific fact.
Promising review: "Where to begin?? Well, I first saw this watch on my favorite blogger on Instagram. I ordered it, and it is so much more beautiful in person!! It's classy yet trendy, and I think I'll get a few years wear out of it. If you are on the fence about it, don't be! You'll love it!!" —Amazon Customer

43. An Always Pan — a multi-purpose piece of cookware with a cult following. Reviewers love this thing because food doesn't stick to it — that means mom can spend more time eating and less time cleaning up. Not to mention, it's highly photoworthy and comes in super pretty colors.
This features a nontoxic, nonstick ceramic coating. Plus, it's dishwasher-safe! To learn more about this customer-favorite pan, check out Always Pan review!
I joined the Always Pan game later than most of my colleagues mostly because I doubted how any piece of cookware could be THAT loved by so many people. I consider myself to be a good cook, but I have an intense fear of accidentally eating undercooked meat, so I often tend to overcook things like chicken to the point of burning the pan. This pan must be crafted with magic fairy dust because when I tell you nothing sticks to it, I truly mean NOTHING sticks to it. Long gone are the days of having to soak my pan before scrubbing away at the burnt bits like my life depends on it. Burnt food slides right off with the grace of a ballerina. This pan is worth ever penny and more.

44. A foam pillow for a soft, extremely comfy, supportive, and cool night of sleep. It's all the things someone would want in a pillow compacted into one! The best gift you can give mom is the gift of a good night's sleep.
BuzzFeed writer Mal Mower loves hers:
"I actually own this! I have never been able to find a pillow that supported my (always aching) neck, while also being comfortable enough to enjoy sleeping on. Not until I got this. It's squishy, sturdy, and super satisfying. I sleep hot, and I love how cool it stays throughout the night. I can tell that I am falling asleep faster, sleeping deeper, and waking up feeling more comfortable."

45. A Russ & Daughters New York brunch box because if your fam is anything like mine, brunch is the star of the show on Mother's Day, so why not go all out this year with scrumptious bagels, cream cheese, lox, coffee, and babka?
Promising review: "It was just as delicious as getting it from Russ & Daughters in NYC! It was a surprise for my wife to celebrate our anniversary, and she LOVED it." —Nic B.

46. Collagen essence sheet masks for gifting mom a simple at-home spa treatment. I personally LOVE these — they're quick to use, she can dispose of them right after, and they're perfect for those with sensitive skin.
The Cucumber, Green Tea, Aloe, Hyaluronate, and Aqua masks help to moisturizer and soothe skin. The Vitamin, Herb, White, Vee Benom, and Charcoal masks help to brighten and purify. The Royal Jelly, Gold, and Snail masks aim to nourish and revitalize tired and aging skin. The Q10, Platinum, and Syn-Ake masks help to reduce wrinkles and fine lines. I love these so much that I wrote about 'em. Read our Dermal collagen essence sheet masks review to learn more.
Promising review: "I have extremely sensitive skin. I look at oil and break out. I am careful about how I cleanse and how I moisturize, as one misstep means weeks of recovery. I threw caution to the wind with these, and I am obsessed. I have so many of these now. I do them about five times a week. They feel great, moisturize, and smell amazing. They are delicate and lovely." —Megan D.

47. A DIY autobiography so she can write the story of her life to look back and reflect on in the years to come, or to pass down to future generations.
Promising review: "Last Christmas, my cousin pulled out a book similar to this that my grandma had filled out before she passed. We read through every line and loved learning about her life and ideas, written in her own words. I immediately got one of these for my mom, and I plan to do one myself, too, to pass down to future generations. There are several books like this out there, and after some research, I settled on this one because it is a small size, but gives ample space for writing. Love it!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I don’t often post reviews, but every so often there comes along a product like this. I truly wish I would have gotten this sooner. It brings a smile to my face every time I go to sip my cup of hot coffee. It also looks fantastic and feels amazing. Great job Ember. I’m a customer for life." —Tyler

Promising review: "I bought this set because I've been eyeing a few of these products for a while, but didn't want to purchase the full size for the full price, so this was a perfect way to try all the products! Each product is perfect to bring on the go, and very well worth it for the price. I especially love the mini Balm Dotcoms and the headband it comes with!" —A

51. A Revlon hot air brush that'll allow mom to dry and style her hair at the same time! If she's someone who is often pressed for time when getting ready, this wonderful gadget is a true game changer.
Promising review: "I have a lot of hair. A LOT. Like, 'Wow, is that a Wookiee over there?' LOTS. I have looked into having a third arm surgically implanted. Is this a thing? Who would do it? Vascular surgery? ... These are the questions that keep me up at night. 🤔 My shoulders are so tired holding up a dryer and a round brush for eternity. I briefly considered making a workout video ('Toned Arms: The Hairdryer Workout') but was informed by fitness people that there isn’t a market for a 75-minute focus on the anterior deltoids. I almost have to wake up BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP in order to have enough time to dry my hair before work. This thing took me eight minutes. I naturally assumed, upon finishing, that I had entered some sort of Amazon-created beauty time warp. I checked with my husband in the next room, and in fact, I did not go through a blowout wormhole. The silkier-than-silk style was accomplished by this miracle of a brush in eight minutes. Several more minutes were still lost to running my hands through my hair and flicking it over my shoulder while smiling coquettishly in the mirror. If you struggle with an overabundance of hair as I do, then seriously consider giving this amazing contraption a try." —Chris
Another reviewer was pleasantly surprised to find this worked well for their curly hair: "I’m shook that this worked on my curly hair. It took me about 30 minutes, which isn’t out of the norm for me. I did have to touch some places up with a straightener, but it truly gave me a post blowout look from the comfort of my own home! I can’t suggest this product enough." —RSally
However, some reviewers with 4a–c hair claimed this didn't work as well on tighter curls and coils — if you're looking for something that was designed with curlier hair in mind, you may wanna check out the Revlon One-Step paddle brush.

52. A blank family cookbook mom can fill with her own recipes or family faves — in the future this can be passed down to keep delicious food traditions alive.
Promising review: "I gave it to my mother-in-law who loves to cook, and she was delighted. This book features a table of contents, a space for family pictures (oddly enough, but they have to be half a wallet size), and plenty of space to take a picture of the dish to accompany the recipe. It's a beautifully bound recipe book." —CJ
