What's not to love about moms? From sitting through hours of prom dress shopping to nursing you through your first heartbreak and friendship drama, moms are always there. She's like a bestie and mentor built into one amazing matriarch. Who else will give you advice about getting to know your crush one minute and ground you (metaphorically and sometimes literally) when you step out of line the next? In short, moms do it all — and usually without ever expecting a thank you. There's no way we can pay our moms back for the amazing things they've done for us, but searching for the perfect gift for mom from daughters is a great place to start.

Exactly what do you gift the person who taught you how to walk, talk, and kept you alive until you were old enough to survive on your own and who is now your closest confidante and biggest supporter? A thoughtful gift that celebrates her hobbies or personalized goodies is a good way to bring your mom to tears on her special day. Be prepared for sentimental mom tears after checking out this list of thoughtful gifts for moms from daughters.
