Mom deserves the best, and the pressure to get it right for Mother’s Day is on. Luckily, Amazon makes it easy to find thoughtful gifts that'll arrive quickly. If you're shopping for a new parent, get her a self-care gift that'll encourage her to take time for herself, like the viral Summer Fridays eye patches or a cozy lounge set our readers can't stop buying. Treat busy moms to a luxury item they wouldn't buy for themselves, like a gorgeous watch from Fossil or an internet-famous perfume from Phlur that our editors loved enough to give a Best Beauty Award.

Our top picks:

If your mom doubles as "Grandma" to your kids, go the sentimental route with a personalized birthstone necklace or a digital frame (it's my mom's favorite gift she's ever received). Whether you're looking for a budget-friendly idea or an add-on to another present, we've included tons of options under $20—think beautiful puzzles that'll transport her to a charming destination or trendy hoop earrings from one of our favorite affordable jewelry brands.

Help her transport to another place. With 1,000 puzzle pieces, she can assemble this charming Victorian mansion surrounded by blooming flowers.

If she's recently joined the "Mom Club," these adorable socks are a funny (yet practical) gift idea. She can wear them around the house or out and about—her pants will likely cover up the writing anyways.

I gifted my mom the Aura Frame a few years ago, and she raves about it. She's a grandma to six, and loves reliving memories as they slide across the screen. You can easily upload photos to the frame via an app—you can even preload it for her.

We've been spotting this fragrance all over social media, but it's also earned several accolades from GH's Beauty Lab (including a Best Beauty Award). Meant to mimic the scent of a lover's skin on sheets, it has a soft mix of jasmine, musk, and sandalwood. "It's a fragrance that I love to spritz because it's not too sweet or feminine," says Urmila Ramakrishnan, Social Media Director.
