The 55 Best Gifts for Mom She Definitely Deserves

From beautifully practical to mega-luxe

By and

Mothers deserve it all, which makes choosing the best gifts for Mom this holiday 2023 season a true feat. Festive celebrations have already begun, so time is limited to shop for the woman herself, whether you’re seeking a gift under $100 or something even more affordable, in the under-$50 or under-$20 range. Perhaps even a stylish stocking stuffer?

Because of her many facets, a mother’s taste is diverse. She loves everything fine jewelry and stylish clothing, making luxury gifts for women a smart place to start. She also appreciates beautifully practical pieces that enhance her life (hello, tech gifts for women). And, of course, beauty gifts always hit a high note for Mom. Angela Yeranosian, founder of the gifting platform Patet, tells Bazaar, “There are many pampering gift options for moms at every stage of motherhood. For expecting and new moms, it’s all about comfort, self-care, and well-being.”

Fitness gifts are another wellness-related approach for Mom—workouts may be among her few precious moments of “me time” during her busy week. “Other gifts that scream ‘Pamper me!’ would be items like facial rollers to have instant rejuvenated glowy skin, dry brushing to activate the lymphatic system and drain out toxins, shower steamers for some feel-good aromatherapy, and an all-in-one product like coconut oil for skin moisturizing and to prevent stretch marks,” Yeranosian suggests.

Depending on her stage of life, Mom may prefer a gift that’s really for her babies, that showcases her hosting talents, a beautiful decor gift for her dream home, or a bucket-list vacation to fill her time after retiring. On the other hand, suppose you genuinely want to surprise and delight her with a gift she never knew to put on her list. In that case, Cécile Roederer, founder of French retailer Smallable, says, “I love designers who have a story to tell, a creative process, ethical or sustainable production, or just extraordinary personality.”

The 55 best gifts for Mom ahead are meaningful and useful, whether you’re shopping for the best gifts for your wife, sister, best friend, an expecting mother, or the dog mom herself. The holiday 2023 season is here, and shipping deadlines start as early as December 13—it’s time to get into gifting gear.
