They say Mom knows best, and they would be 100 percent correct. Your mom is there for you when you’re in a sticky situation, and on those days when you just need someone to vent to. She comforts you through thick and thin, but she also tells it like it is. There’s nobody else in the world who understands you as well as Mom does. And when you have someone so special in your life, it’s important to show them your gratitude.

One way to do that is by giving her thoughtful gifts for the holidays. Me, personally, I feel like I’ve exhausted all of my good ideas as I’ve gotten older. I’ve already wrapped my fair share of fuzzy slippers and printed a few cheesy photo albums. So, what’s next?

There’s an array of presents you likely haven’t already bought for your mom. Ones that are a little more creative and thoughtful, like a digital photo frame or a custom handmade portrait. Below, we’ve gathered the top holiday gifts that Mom will no doubt cherish and use all the time. If you’re running low on ideas, here are 36 incredible options that have your mom’s name written all over them.

Get a piece each day as a reminder that Christmas is on the way. Each advent calendar is packed with a different chocolate with flavors like dark mint medallion, milk caramel embrace, and more.

Diamonique x Jennifer Miller Pave Initial Necklace

Even moms love personalized gifts, just like you do. Grab her this sterling silver Diamonique necklace that will become her new everyday staple. Jennifer Miller is a celeb-loved jeweler with a line that’s exclusive to QVC. Since it’s made from sterling silver, it can get wet, and the Diamonique faux diamonds give all the impression of real stones without the stress of being too rough on it with everyday wear. If you’re a first-time QVC shopper you can score $15 off an order of $35 or more when you enter code HOLIDAY at checkout. That’s like paying just $59 for this gorgeous piece for Mom.

Grace & Company Lucie Hair Towel

This hair towel is perfect for the mom who needs to slow down and give herself some much-needed self-care. Because it’s made with fast-drying microfibers, it’ll help reduce frizz, breakage, and dry hair in a flash.

The Woman in Me by Britney Spears

If your mom loves to read like my mom does, surprise her with this instant best-seller from pop mega-star, Britney Spears.

Phlur Currant Crush Candle

When I shop for candles, I look for one that has a clean burn and won’t mushroom up and stay lit, emitting smoke long after you blow it out. Plus, I need one that actually has a strong scent that’ll fill the room. This candle from Phlur checks all the boxes, and the minimalist jar is perfect for a mom who appreciates sleek, clean lines.

Isla Beauty Day Melt

If your mom is stressed out and unsure where to start with her beauty journey, pick up this all-in-one cleansing balm from Isla Beauty. It removes makeup and exfoliates at the same time

Scotch and Soda Music Map Scarf

This scarf is so unique and luxe-looking, you won’t believe it’s on sale for under $35. Mom can tie this to her handbag, wear in her hair, or wear around her neck on your next adventure together.

Palma de Salus Sanitizing Serum

You’ve probably seen mom whip out her 99-cent alcohol-packed sanitizer more times than you can count. Why not upgrade her with this luxe option that packs a hand sanitizer and moisturizer in one.

Cedar Lakes Estate Candle

This candle is made in collaboration with Cedar Lakes Estate, a private, rentable estate located in Port Jarvis, New York. It’s made in partnership with Finding Home Farms, and the result is an incredible memento for anyone who has stayed at the property, or wants to be reminded of a sparkling, cozy lake escape with scents like amber, teak, and birch.

Aura Carver Luxe Frame

We know moms love pictures of their family and friends, but printing and framing a bunch of images isn’t always that easy. Instead, level up with Aura’s Carver Luxe digital picture frame. You can upload images to the frame from anywhere and at any time. She won’t be able to take her eyes off of the precious memories you’ve carefully curated for her.

Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield Glow SPF 50

For the mom who’s obsessed with beauty products, get her this glow-enhancing sunscreen from Colorescience. It’ll add a gorgeous sheer gold tint to her face, while also providing SPF 50 sun protection. She can wear it alone, use it as a highlighter or mix it into her foundation. Mom is about to have such luminous skin that you might just have to buy a bottle for yourself, too.

Paint Your Life Custom Handmade Portrait

Transform one of your favorite photos with Mom into a custom handmade portrait. Paint Your Life makes it easy, since you get to choose the image, size, style, artist and frame. There’s no need to gift your mom another photo album when you can give her a stunning piece of art that cherishes your precious memories with her. Don’t forget to use code STYLE70 at checkout for $70 off your purchase.

Artifact Uprising Photo Desk Calendar 

If you’ve already given your mom several photo albums and want to try something new this year, give her a personalized photo calendar. She can display it on her desk to check the date, but she’ll also be reminded of her favorite memories with you. 

Cariuma OCA Low Sneakers

Mom deserves only the best when it comes to staying comfy, and these celebrity-approved, sustainable sneakers will do just the trick. Their lightweight cushion technology and classic cap-toe design might turn these shoes into the only pair she walks out of the house in. We tried them ourselves and our feet can’t get enough of them, either. 

Dagne Dover Medium Landon Carryall Duffle Bag

The cool jet-setting or gym-going mom will appreciate this Dagne Dover duffle bag. It’ll hold all of her essentials and keep them extra tidy.

Tula Rose Glow & Get It Eye Balm

Mom might already have a go-to eye cream, but it’s probably not nearly as cooling and brightening as this one from Tula. It minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, but it also hydrates and makes eyes feel wide awake. 

Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Throw Blanket

Mom probably already has a fave blanket, but does she have a Barefoot Dreams blanket? Its coziness is unmatched and it comes in 11 chic colors. If the brand is good enough for Oprah, it’s definitely good enough for Mom.

The Light We Carry: Overcoming in Uncertain Times by Michelle Obama

If Mom enjoyed reading Becoming, gift her former First Lady Michelle Obama’s newest book, The Light We Carry: Overcoming in Uncertain Times. It provides guidance for staying hopeful and balanced during times of uncertainty. Grab your copy of the No. 1 bestselling book on Amazon for under $20.

Chanel N°5 Eau De Parfum Spray

Yes, yes your mom does need another bottle of perfume for her collection. Go with a forever classic, Chanel N°5. You could even make a cute little gift basket by pairing the perfume with the body oil, body lotion and shower gel in the same iconic fragrance.

Fellow Stagg EKG Electric Gooseneck Kettle

Your tea-loving mom might already have a kettle she uses every day, but does she have one that also happens to be Kourtney Kardashian-approved? This electric kettle will help make Mom’s life so much easier in the morning, since all she has to do is turn it on, choose a temperature for her water, and wait for the built-in timer to let her know when she can start enjoying her tea.

Kind of Wild Wine 

Kind of Wild is the destination for organic and vegan wines that Mom will definitely love. IMO, organic wines just taste fresher and are much smoother than traditional wines. You can ship mom a single bottle for under $30, or put together a three-pack for her for a $5 flat rate shipping fee. Bonus points if you swing by her house to enjoy a glass or two with her. 

Stanley Deco Collection 40oz Tumbler

Mom has definitely seen Stanley on TikTok. Grab her one of her own that’s decorated in line with the holiday spirit. This Stanley tumbler is dishwasher-safe and will carry all of her favorite beverages.

Vinglacé Wine & Champagne Chiller

A wine and champagne bottle chiller is exactly the kind of gift your mom would never go out of the way to buy for herself. However, it can keep her fave bottle of bubbly chilled for hours on end, which is exactly why it’s a must-have for any wine-loving mom.

Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition

For the bookworm mom, help her snuggle up with an endless amount of good books. The Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition features wireless charging, an auto-adjusting front light and a display that mimics real paper. This reading device is on sale for $44 off at Amazon, so hurry, fast!

Dagne Dover Mila Toiletry Organizer

If she can’t travel without all of her serums and oils, help her keep them tidy by getting her Dagne Dover’s Mila Toiletry Organizer. The design is genius and so convenient for the mom who’s always on the go—whether it’s to another state or the gym.

Casper Weighted Blanket

Give her the gift of better sleep with this weighted blanket from Casper. It’ll help Mom take a nice breather and get some well-deserved relaxation. 

iRobot Roomba 694 Robot Vacuum

My mom is so obsessed with robot vacuums, I think she bought two for the house. If yours also love keeping spaces clean and dust-free, without all the manual labor, get her a Roomba . This model is a whopping 35 percent off on Amazon right now.

Tory Burch McGraw Bucket Bag 

In case your mom is in need of a new handbag, Tory Burch has exactly what she needs. The McGraw Bucket Bag can fit all of Mom’s everyday essentials. It’s also super stylish, and a purse you might end up stealing from her closet or buying one for yourself.

HERMÈS Mini Fragrance Discovery Set

My mom and so many others are lifelong fans of Hermés. This mini perfume sampler is a foolproof gift for Mom, since it comes with so many different scents that are all travel-size. Plus the whole set comes in an iconic orange box. Do I even have to explain why it should already be in your cart?

T3 AireLuxe Hair Dryer

For the mom who’s been using the same hair dryer for as long as you can remember, gift her a brand new one that’ll give her the best hair in town. T3’s AireLuxe will dry her strands fast when she’s in a rush and won’t strip her hair of its natural moisture.

Longchamp Large Le Pliage Shoulder Tote

Mom can never have too many tote bags, so why not add one to her rotation? Longchamp’s Large Le Pliage Shoulder Tote is the iconic silhouette you know and love, except with a coated canvas material that looks unbelievably chic. I have a feeling this is about to become her go-to bag.

Grove Collaborative Ultrasonic Aromatherapy Diffuser 

It’s only fair that your mom gets the best treatment, and that includes helping her transform her home into a spa. This aromatherapy diffuser fits the bill with its minimalistic ceramic design and LED light features. With a dash of essential oil, she’ll be relaxed in no time. 

Donpapa Fluffy Memory Foam Slippers

Mom can never have too many pairs of slippers, especially during the colder months. Donpapa’s memory foam slippers are great dupes for Ugg’s Scuffette slippers, which Hailey Bieber wears.
