Mother’s Day — which falls on May 12 this year — is just a few weeks away, so now’s a good time to secure the perfect present for any of the moms in your life. Whether you’re celebrating one mom or several generations of them, we’ve curated a lineup of gift guides for each and every type of mother on your list.
To get the lowdown on the things she’ll love most, we consulted actresses, beauty gurus, singers, and chefs — many of whom are at varying stages of motherhood — to bring you dozens of standout gift ideas. We’ve included many mom-approved Strategist favorites — some that we own ourselves or have given to our own moms and others that are longtime top sellers on our site. Finally, we made sure to choose gifts at every price point, so you can spoil your mom with something special no matter your budget. If you want to stay on top of all of our gift coverage, sign up for our newsletter and you won’t miss a thing.
We have one-stop shoppers in mind with this Mother’s Day gift guide that includes picks for every type of mom (including the mom who won’t pass up on reconnecting with her inner child). Each gift is available on Amazon, so you can shop this high-tech foot massager, old-fashioned photo printer, and colorful water bottle that 14 Strategist staffers adore without a second thought.

We think about the best gifts for moms every month of the year, and this master gift guide for moms has 55 fantastic gift ideas to show for it. There’s a body wash for the mom who loves luxurious bath products and this fluffy robe for the mom who loves her five (or fifty) minutes of peace in the bathtub. Finally, for the mom who is always looking to expand her jewelry collection, we found a very affordable and very convincing dupe of Bottega Veneta’s drop earrings. Read more here.
There’s no reason to put a price on love, and these 30 Mother’s Day gifts under $50 honor that sentiment. Amid the assortment of thoughtful gifts is a pruner that will arrive well in time for May flowers and exfoliating socks that will help ready her toes for sandal season. For the home cook, we’ve included this egg poacher that we crowned the best overall after lots of testing. Read more here.
Though she might feel overwhelmed at all times, a new mom can use her first Mother’s Day as an opportunity to honor and celebrate this new stage of life. To help you find the perfect gift to match the occasion, we surveyed new and seasoned mothers to find the 48 best gifts that will help her smooth her transition into motherhood. Along with this ice roller for de-puffing and refreshing her skin, we’re recommending these postpartum supplements that two Strategist editors and fashion historian Ruby Redstone swear by. For some non-cheesy reading about being a mom, there’s a year-long subscription to Mother Tongue, a print magazine that explores modern motherhood. Read more here.
While you may have had a hand in choosing (or making) the heartfelt gifts she’ll receive from your kids, she’ll also appreciate a meaningful present from her spouse. Among the many ideas we have to show her how much you appreciate her are an affordable silk pillowcase that’s a consistent best seller at The Strategist, cozy pajamas, and the roomy makeup bag that’s perfect for traveling.
