If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, SPY.com may receive an affiliate commission.

The SPY team loves our moms, and so we take a lot of pride in picking out the best gifts for mom no matter the occasion. In fact, we’re already hard at work picking out the best Christmas gifts for moms before summer is even over.

We know that finding the perfect gift idea can be a challenge, but we have good news: your mom would probably be happy with a nice card, a phone call or a visit. Even so, it never hurts to treat her to something a little extra special. Instead of going out and buying the first expensive gift you can find, why not take the time to consider what she really likes, what she’s been subtly hinting at, and which gift she’ll appreciate the most from her favorite kid.

When shopping for the best gifts for her, not any old present will do. After all, who has given more to you than your own mother? Year after year, she’s been there for you, so finding the perfect present is important — but also a lot of pressure!

Because we spend the entire year thinking about the best Christmas gift ideas, we’ve gathered tons of options for every type of mom, every budget, and every occasion. Searching for the best gifts for mom on her birthday? We’ve got you covered. If you’re looking for the best gift for mom under $100, we’ve also gathered dozens of affordable gift ideas. We’ve also got some unique gift ideas if you want to surprise your mom this year and step outside the bounds of your usual flowers, candy and jewelry. For anyone trying to get a head start on holiday shopping (and we know your mom would be so proud you’re planning ahead), all of these items will also make excellent Christmas gifts for mom.

In our professional experience, the best gifts for mom are the ones that speak to her personality and showcase the gratitude she deserves. We’re sure your mom will love at least one of the lovely gift ideas below, so keep scrolling to get inspired.

Homeries Marble Wine Chiller Bucket

FOR THE WINE ENTHUSIAST

This multifunctional gift is a stylish marble wine cooler that can be used as a rosé chiller in the summer and a flower or utensil holder in the winter. It’s a great gift for mom because she can use it for her quiet nights at home, date nights with dad or while entertaining.

To use, store the cooler in the fridge for a few hours before entertaining. Then, when you’re ready to open and chill your wine, simply take the cooler out, set it on the table and let the marble’s natural temperature retaining properties keep your drink looking cool and elegant. It’s amazing how well these coolers work, and you’ll find that marble is cool to the touch even before it’s chilled. And at just under $30, this is one of the most budget-friendly gifts for mom.

Brooklinen Super-Plush Robe

BEST TO PAMPER MOM

Of all the best Christmas gifts for mom ever featured on SPY, this is by far the most popular year after year. Mom may have a robe — but she definitely doesn’t have one this soft and spa-like. Brooklinen made this robe to mimic the feel of their super soft plush towels. We’re in love with this robe, and we’re not the only ones — the Super-Plush Robe is always one of the most popular gifts you can give. This robe is made of 100% Turkish Cotton, features deep pockets and a waist tie. Reviewers have said, “this robe is like wearing a nice soft blanket,” and what mom doesn’t deserve to walk around feeling comfy and luxurious?

It comes in a bunch of colors, but we love this bright pink hue if your mom is a fan of bold colors.

The kit comes with all you need to make 32 mochis and best of all it doesn’t require much skill in the kitchen.

We’ve recommended these Click & Grow Indoor Herb Garden systems before, and there’s a reason you’ll find these in countless kitchens around the world. Click & Grow provides pre-planted pods containing dozens of popular herbs and veggies, and the Smart Garden 3 makes it easy to grow these plants right on your kitchen counter. The LED lights provide all the energy these plants need to thrive, and mom will have her own garden of fresh basil, cilantro and grape tomatoes in no time. You can choose the vegetables and herbs, but each smart garden comes with three basil pods to get started. If your Mom loves to cook, then this is one of the best gifts of the year.

This one comes in a bunch of festive colors and patterns, and is perfect for warm and cold weather, traveling, movie theaters, the beach and more.

It’s reversible, and built large which makes it a perfect wardrobe staple for pairing with any number of comfy, casual outfits.

ARATLENCH Mask and Glasses Lanyard Chain

BEST FOR THE MASK QUEEN

If your mom is still rocking her mask, grab her this affordable pack of mask chains so she can keep it on her neck when not wearing it. These chains work for masks, sunglasses and even eyeglasses. Each one is made of small beads or a lightweight, durable alloy chain, and attaches easily to mask ear straps or the tips of sunglasses. The lanyards add fun flair to the look while also serving a practical function, and each pack comes with seven different options so she’ll have choices for which one she wants to use.

Mixology & Craft Bartender Kit

BEST FOR LOVERS OF A STRONG DRINK 

This bartender kit has been a top-selling gift among Spy readers, and we still think it’s a great gift idea for moms who prefer a margarita or cosmo to a glass of wine. If tea isn’t really her thing, try this 10-piece mixology kit. Each kit comes with a cocktail shaker, strainer, mixing spoon, double lever corkscrew, ice tongs and more to ensure your mom has all the tools she needs to whip up her favorite cocktails. What’s more, the set comes in this included bamboo stand for a clean presentation. Try these mixology books and martini glasses, too.
