Moms do it all, especially during the holiday season, so showing your appreciation is important.
Whether your mom is an avid traveler, a homebody, who loves making her space cozy, or she enjoys hosting parties, we found something she’ll get plenty of use out of, from carryall tote bags to candle subscriptions to cheese boards. And if your sister, friend, or cousin is a new mom, we found practical gifts she’ll appreciate, too. Below, shop 15 gifts for mom from Amazon, Nordstrom, Lululemon, Uncommon Goods, and more.
Gifts for Mom: The Homebody
If your mom enjoys staying home this time of year, she’ll love cuddling up on the couch with Barefoot Dreams blankets, which have earned the seal of approval from celebrities like Chrissy Teigen, Kate Hudson, and Jennifer Garner. For bookworms, give them a subscription to Book of the Month, which delivers a book of their choice in the mail for just $13 to $18 per month.
Vellabox
Another great gift that keeps on giving is Vellabox, a candle subscription, which you can customize based on your mom’s favorite scents. Not only will she receive a seasonal candle from different artisans in nice cloth bags each month, but boxes also include a lifestyle item like hand cream or wick trimmers.
All of the candles come in sleek brown jars, so they’ll match any home’s aesthetic, and your mom will be excited each time the package arrives on her doorstep. Subscriptions start at as little as $12 per month, which is cheaper than many individual candles you might purchase.
Eberjey Gisele Tencel Modal Long PJ Set
Eberjey
You might consider pajamas an “unoriginal” gift idea for mom, but she’s bound to get so much use out of them, especially this winter when she's likely getting into bed earlier. Eberjey sleepwear looks and feels high-end and ranges in styles from nightgowns to pants and shorts with matching button-downs. This long pajama set comes in 17 colors and earned the coveted title of one of Oprah’s Favorite Things in 2018.
Gifts for Mom: The Traveler
MZ Wallace Medium Metro Tote Bag
MZ Wallace
A practical tote bag is key for keeping all of your essentials organized when traveling, and, with multiple interior and exterior zippered compartments and pockets, the MZ Wallace Metro Tote fits the bill. The brand recently sent PEOPLE shopping writer Alyssa Grabinski the tote, and she claims that her mom was “so obsessed, [she] ended up getting her the same bag for her birthday a few weeks later.” This is a pricey gift for mom, but it will change her travel game for years to come.
Benevolence LA Plush Jewelry Organizer Box
Amazon
On the more affordable end, this travel jewelry case will keep mom’s necklaces and bracelets from getting tangled when she packs for a trip. It’s Amazon’s best-selling jewelry box and has racked up more than 9,500 five-star ratings from shoppers. To top it off, Oprah Winfrey deemed it one of her Favorite Things last year, writing that it keeps "prized pieces stylishly contained.”
Gifts for Mom: The Host
For all the moms who love hosting gatherings, whether it’s a large holiday party or an intimate family dinner, the gift options are endless. Harry and David offers a wide variety of boxes that will help her get the job done, from wine and cheese pairings to sweet treats.
Uncommon Goods Swivel Cheese & Tapas Board
Uncommon Goods
Every crowd loves a good charcuterie board, and this wooden serving piece displays everything conveniently. The multi-level board can fit an assortment of cheeses, meats, and fruits. A curved groove keeps crackers contained and four sockets for bowls can hold nuts and olives. There’s even a slot for your cheese knives.
Rachael Ray Ceramic Dispensing Bottle with Spout
Amazon
Many dishes require olive oil, so why not make things easier on your mom while she’s whipping up a yummy meal for guests with this ceramic dispensing bottle (which looks pretty on the counter, too.) A few years ago, PEOPLE shopping writer and editor Nicola Fumo gifted her mom with this exact one, which comes in 16 colors, and it was “a hit.” More than 12,000 Amazon customers have sung its praises, too.
Gifts for New Moms
Big Dart Oversized Button-Down Shirts
Amazon
For nursing moms, proper bras and shirts that make the process seamless are key. ThirdLove has seven different nursing bras that will keep new moms comfy — all while looking like an everyday pick. Button-down shirts also make nursing easier, and this affordable option from Amazon comes in 22 colors that make great gifts for new moms.
Oribe Gold Lust Dry Shampoo
Nordstrom
When new moms are adjusting to life with their baby, some days, showering just isn’t an option. This dry shampoo is more expensive than drugstore options, but will extend the life of your friend or family members’ hair. This Kopari deodorant, which has over 8,000 five-star ratings at Amazon, will keep them feeling fresh between shower days, too.
All of these gifts for mom are sure to be a favorite of hers on Christmas morning.
