Mother's Day is still two months away, but I'm already planning what to buy my mom. Starting earlier means I can track down a thoughtful gift without the pressure (even though, Amazon is a great place to do last-minute shopping). The best Mother's Day gifts will make her feel loved and appreciated, whether it's a "Mama" necklace that flaunts her favorite title or an award-winning silk pillowcase that'll help her sleep better.
It's also a great time to upgrade her tech, like the latest Apple Watch, so she'll never miss your phone call. And, I always recommend the Aura Digital Picture Frame, because it's my mom's favorite gift (she's a grandma, so it just makes sense). There are also chic gifts for women, like trendy earrings from one of our favorite jewelry brands, that'll remind her she's more than a mom.
Our top picks:
- Best value: Mom's Story: A Memory and Keepsake Journal
- Unique gift idea: Lego Botanicals Orchid
- Top gift under $20: Pavoi 14K Yellow Gold Hoops
- Useful gift for mom: Aura Carver Mat Digital Picture Frame

Gift for a bouquet that'll never die. She can build a realistic orchid flower that'll look beautiful on display with this 608-piece set. Maybe, you can even assemble it as a family!
Mom can spray this floral perfume for date nights, special occasions, or any time she needs a pick-me-up. It features a trio of white floral notes: tuberose, jasmine, and orange blossom. GH Beauty Lab experts love that the bottle is refillable and the fragrance is timeless and luxurious.
Whether she's running errands, chasing little ones, or finally enjoying a moment to relax, these cotton socks let her show off her "cool mom" status in a cozy way. They're a funny gift for new parents.
I gifted my mom the Aura Carver a few years ago, and she loves watching photos of her grandchildren pop up. She's not great at navigating tech, but even she thinks it's easy to upload photos (multiple user can do it through the app).

Mom deserves a luxurious sweet treat she doesn't have to share with her little ones. She'll get a box of 24 assorted flavors, including chocolate, vanilla, pistachio, lemon, raspberry, and coffee.
Every mom could use a spacious tote bag, or several. Inside, there are six pockets and one large opening in the center. It's perfect for trips to the grocery store, park playdates, beach days, or day trips with the littles.
Mom can answer calls, send texts, set alarms, track her steps, and more all from her wrist—my mom loves it, because she's always misplacing her phone. Our editors tested the Apple Watch's latest model, and were impressed by the improved battery life, new health features, and sleeker design.

Here's a super easy way to make her a homemade gift. You'll receive a print of a floral bouquet and a frame—all you have to do is add the handprints of her children. The set includes the paint and hooks to hang the frame.
LED face masks have gained a lot of attention recently, and for good reason. The lights can help to kill bacteria, keep acne at bay, and boost collagen to smooth wrinkles. One GH editor found this mask simple enough to use, appreciating that the treatment takes only three minutes.
Add a pop of color to her houseplants. Stick this stained acrylic stake into the dirt, and it'll look like a hummingbird is perched on the side.
Available in sizes up to XXL and so many different colors, this set has been one of our top-sellers this year. That's because it looks and feels similar to a version from Spanx that costs a whole lot more. Mom can wear it while she's running errands, hanging at home, or even a casual night out.
If she loves to light candles, it's time you upgrade her gear. No lighter or matches are needed thanks to this lamp, which uses heat to melt the wax and release her favorite aromas. It'll even help her candles last longer.
She can spend the afternoon dreaming of this charming seaside balcony as she assembles this scene of Cinque Terre, Italy. It might even inspire her next vacation.
No matter he age, these dainty earrings are a must-have for everyday wear—especially if she prefers a lightweight pair. Choose from silver, rose gold, or gold and four sizes.
Perhaps the prettiest bird feeder we've seen, it's made from hand-blown glass, which gives it the unique look. It can be hung anywhere outside, and Amazon reviewers say it works really well at attracting hummingbirds.
Without being too bulky, this tote can fit a laptop, planner, water bottle, and her other must-have essentials. It has both a crossbody strap and handles for easy carrying, and in addition to the strawberry print, it comes in a rainbow of nearly 20 solid colors.
Trust me: Propagating plants is much easier than you might expect, and this trio of glass bulbs gives her a convenient place to experiment. It's the perfect size for a windowsill, so you don't have to worry if she doesn't have outdoor space.
