63 Best Gifts for Moms That’ll Win You ‘Favorite Child’ Status
If you're the type of person who tends to save the best for last, then you might be struggling right now to find the perfect gift for your mom—arguably the most important gal on your list. That's why we've combed the internet for thoughtful and, er, last-minute gift ideas she'll absolutely love.
Useful options, like silk pillowcases, robes, and cozy pajama sets, make an appearance here, but we've also included unique options to surprise the mamas in your life. (Sorry, no bath bombs or itchy scarves this time!) Some of our favorite unexpected finds: fancy olive oil which always tops our list of the best gifts for women, a kitschy-in-a-good-way cooling rack for the real chef in the house, floral arrangement classes if she's a person who has everything (including a green thumb), plus personalized presents that you can find on Etsy, and self-care gifts for new moms.
The bottom line is, while she claims she doesn't want anything, if you want to make her happy, you can never go wrong with a hug, a kiss, and a handwritten note. These meaningful gifts for mom (and picks for your mother-in-law) are just the cherries on top.

Bearaby Cotton Napper
If you're thinking, Not another cashmere throw!, that's cool because Bearaby's weighted blanket is not a cashmere throw. It's knit with a high-quality machine-washable yarn (most weighted blankets are quilted and filled with glass beads) and comes in different sizes, depending on her preferred level of snug.

Send this Etsy vendor a cherished memory that you share with your mom, or a picture of her grandkid, and whenever she looks into the delicate lens, or hovers over it with her phone camera, she'll see the photo projected. Pretty cool, right?
