Buying gifts for mom is the next best thing to buying presents for yourself, because anything you gift her, you'll eventually get to borrow. It’s only logical to gift her a thoughtful present you'll both love, like extravagant body oil, trendy gold earrings, or one of those air fryers everybody raves about (yeah, you'll make good use of that one for late-night snacks).

But in all seriousness, whether your mom has a wishlist a mile long or says that she truly doesn’t want anything every year without fail, she deserves an extra special gift. Get her something that she’ll love using all year round — gourmet olive oils and sea salts for the home chef, the viral Solawave Red Light Therapy wand for the spa junkie, or a bathtub tray that she can use to hold her wine if she, well, loves wine. And if you don’t have the money to shell out for a fancy Dyson vacuum, recruit your siblings or other family members to pitch in their cash to buy mom the present she’s had her eye on for months.

Shop all of that and more all within the comfort of this article, hand-picked by our editors. Here are the most unique, useful, best holidays gifts for the mom who deserves it all, and more.
