Finding the best gifts for Mom, whether you’re shopping for her birthday or the holidays, is a labor of love. She’s number one—so it’s time to bring your A-game. And luckily for you, these Cyber Monday deals on gifts for moms are making it more affordable than ever to make a grand gesture this season.
If she spends all her time caring for others, a silk pillowcase is great for some self-care (it's especially lovely if she's postpartum and needs to make the most of those few hours of sleep). Meanwhile, a bracelet encrusted with her kid's birthstone is one of our favorite meaningful presents for daughters to give moms. And, the mamas on our team universally agreed that a fanny pack (like the popular pick on this list) to help them keep their hands free, is a useful idea they'll adore.
To help you zero in on a gift worthy of that special parent, we polled all the moms and mother figures in our lives for their recommendations, including small presents and over-the-top surprises. From gifts for new moms (eye masks, motherhood journals) to foolproof ideas that also make great gifts for all the women in your orbit (beauty goodies to pamper her and food presents to feed her soul), these ideas never miss. (And seriously, call your mother!)
