Another year, another time spent scratching our heads wondering: What gift do I get for my mom? Moms, though we truly love them, can be hard to shop for. Mostly because, when asked what they want for their upcoming birthday or Mother's Day, moms tend to wave us off. "I don’t need anything” or "I have everything," they’ll say. Take this pro tip from us: If they don’t need anything, get them something they want (or even better, something they might not even know they want).

Moms are the world’s unsung heroes, and they deserve to feel special, loved, and appreciated on any occasion, but especially on Mother's Day. So whether you have a jewelry-loving mom who’d swoon over a stylish "Mama" necklace, a mom who loves all things cozy and would cuddle up in a super-soft loungewear set, or a wine connoisseur mom who would appreciate a cool, Oprah-approved wine chiller, we’ve curated a list of 80 thoughtful and unique gifts for every type of mom. Regardless of whether you’re looking for a present for your own mother—who lovingly raised you even through your teenage rebellious phase—your grandmother, the mom of your children, your best mom friend, or any mother-like figure in your life, these gift ideas are bound to impress them. From birthdays to holidays, these gift ideas for Mom are thoughtful ways to show her how much you care.
