Hit the mother lode: 15 gift ideas for mom on Mother’s Day

Share via

Consider this a friendly alert that Mother’s Day is fast approaching on May 14. Because there is no one in the world who can fill the shoes of mom (or grandmom or that special mother figure in your life), why not shoot for a present that’s as original as she is?

Our roundup of gift ideas includes precious pieces, big and small, from unapologetic luxuries that emphasize her priceless emotional net worth to upgrades on everyday essentials that are sure to surprise and delight her.

And if mom insists with a sweet-but-firm smile that she already has everything she ever wanted, help her get away from it all for some well-deserved R&R in a colorful, customized travel trailer by L.A. manufacturer Happier Camper — one covetable accessory we’re betting isn’t in her cache.
