Get Mom Something She Really Wants

Moms are tired! It's been a year of ups and downs for everyone and moms have definitely shouldered a lot for their families. With things looking up in 2021, mom is ready to trade in her sweatpants and top-knot for something more. From the stylish to the sentimental, here are 15 gifts we love for Mother’s Day!

Yeedi Robot Vacuum

After a year of cleaning the house non-stop (because everyone was always home!) give mom a break with this vacuum that you can set to clean the house itself. Program it from your phone to roam the floors and it’ll save mom a few minutes to go do something for herself instead of vacuuming up crumbs.

BUY IT: Amazon, $179.99

Tiem Slipstream Shoes

If mom loves to spin, these shoes will keep her stylish and comfortable at the same time. Constructed like a sneaker, this cycling pair has the clip sitting a little higher so she’ll be able to hop off her bike and grab a coffee, walk comfortably, and not scratch the clips. (Clips sold separately.)

BUY IT: Nordstrom, $130.00

Nudestix Nudies

Moms may be ready to put on a little makeup, but they still have a million things they need to get done and may not have the time for a 30-minute beauty session. These little sticks are great because they are multi-functional. Swipe some on your eyelids for a quick shadow, cheeks for a little color, and lips for a little gloss.

BUY IT: Sephora, $25.00

Wonder Woman Gift Set

Celebrate mom for the superhero she really is with this limited edition Wonder Woman makeup bag. Inside are a few surprises to keep her safe from the sun – an SPF 35 sun serum and Venus perfect form lip balm with SPF 15. The bag is perfect for all of the essentials mom needs.

BUY IT: EleVen by Venus Williams, $59.00

A Cute Romper

Mom may be ready to get out a little more, but this year has certainly taught us cozy is king. Combine comfort and style with this adorable Smash and Tess romper. It can be dressed up with a fun jacket and heels, or pair it with flip flops or sneakers for when mom just wants to chill.

BUY IT: Smash + Tess, $135.00

Mom Coupon Book

If you have a mom that has it all, these coupon books always make great gifts – especially from young kids. There are ten certificates with different things that mom deserves, from an hour of peace and quiet to breakfast in bed.

Ember Mug

Moms may run on coffee, but we bet if you surveyed a bunch of them, they’d tell you that most of the time, they drink it cold (or microwaved!). The Ember mug solves that problem, allowing you to keep your coffee heated to your preferred temperature.

BUY IT: Bloomingdale’s, $99.95

Slip Pillowcase and Eye Mask

Who needs sleep? Mom! A restful night’s sleep isn’t always in the cards — especially for a new mom — but this luxurious silk pillowcase and sleep mask will at least set you up for success. Plus, silk has a lot of great benefits, like anti-bed-head and anti-aging properties that will give you a mini beauty treatment overnight.

BUY IT: Nordstrom, $122.00

PowerPulse Massage Shower Head

It’s a well-known secret amongst moms that if you want a little alone time, the shower is a great place to find it. Waterpik wants to help make that shower even more beneficial with their PowerPulse shower head that gives a therapeutic strength massage to help ease that muscle tension in your shoulders and back.

Lulu Dharma Crossbody Purse

The contents of her purse may have changed to hand sanitizer and masks galore, but mom still likes to look stylish with her bag. This crossbody purse is made of vegan leather, so you can feel good about the environment — with a less hefty price tag, too!

BUY IT: Lulu Dharma, $105.00

Revlon One Step Hair Dryer and Volumizer

This tool may not look like anything fancy, but it can be magical when it comes to creating salon-quality hair quickly. No need to blow dry first, this tool can dry and style at the same time!

Handwritten Recipe Platter

The perfect sentimental gift! This company takes any handwritten recipe – think grandma, great grandma, or mom — and puts it on the serving tray or platter of your choice. They keep the handwriting the same, making this a really special and meaningful gift that will last for years to come.

Wireless Charging Backpack

Mom may have been away from the office this year, but if she is stepping back into the workforce, she should do it with style and function.

Inside, you’ll find a wireless charger to charge your phone on the go, a spandex laptop sleeve, plenty of pockets for water bottles, and other accessories mom needs throughout the work day.
