What do you mean you haven’t bought a holiday gift for the mom in your life yet? Maybe you’re stressed, short on time, and steering towards the same-old socks or tawdry coffee mug. Don’t do it! Whatever mom you’re shopping for — your mom, the co-mom of your kids, your mother-in-law or just a mom friend — is too good for that. Besides, you got her socks and mugs in the past, didn’t you? Admit it.
Instead of going the tried-and-tired route with your holiday gifts, or (gulp) waiting until the last minute, show this mom that you really care by giving her a gift that fits her oh-so-unique personality. Whether she’s a fitness guru, a chef, an adventurer, or a bibliophile, she’s a family matriarch and that means she’s a badass. She deserves to open a present this year that will make her feel seen and adored.
Read on for our top pics for the crafty mom, the mom who has it all, and more. And if you see something on this list that you’re hoping will end up under the tree for you, well, just go ahead and “accidentally” leave your laptop open or print off this article and stick it to the fridge. When it comes to #momlife, who cares about subtlety anyway?

For The Mom Who Likes To Look Cool and Feel Comfy
There’s a reason Lululemon’s Scuba Oversized Half-Zip Hoodie is a fan favorite season after season, year after year. It’s that comfy, that warm, and that high quality, so it can withstand constant washes when sticky little fingers get peanut butter on it—again. The Scuba comes in an array of colors, from punchy pink to warm espresso and all kinds of shades in between, so it’s a guaranteed win of a gift for any mom.
For the Mom Who Loves Fresh Bread
Admit it—we don’t all have the time, patience, talent, or interest to bake bread from scratch. Instead, turn to Wildgrain for all your carb-y needs. A subscription to Wildgrain brings frozen sourdough bread, fresh pasta, and pastries (which all bake in 25 minutes or less!) to your doorstep, so you can enjoy homemade quality without tending to a sourdough starter every day.

For A Mom of a Newborn
There’s no greater gift than peace of mind.

Features include two-way audio, temperature and humidity readings, HD night vision video, and so (so so) much more.

Thanks to the Lux collection, you can treat your mamas to a luxurious device that helps give your skin a radiant, youthful glow, along with helping minimize wrinkles, impurities, and acne. It’s like a trip to your esthetician in a wand you can use at home, at any time. And it’s really effective.

If you’re looking for a gift for a mom, think outside of the box. Many moms are always gifted jewelry but have no place to store it. To keep tiny hands-off prized necklaces and earrings from going missing, snag this jewelry storage cabinet from The Home Depot. The cabinet easily hangs over doors so moms can place it in bathrooms and closets. The cabinet has LED lights that make it easy to see everything in the cabinet, and there’s also a mirror included too!
For the Mom Who Loves Working Out
Working out has its perks, especially on mental health. Working out can put any mom in a better mood, relieve stress, and give them a block of time that’s just for them. And having a cute set to get any workout done makes it 100 times better. If you’re looking to gift a mom in your life, make sure you snag a pair of Lululemon’s Align leggings — they are buttery soft and include moisture-wicking fabric to avoid sweat stains. The pants also have a four-way strength, so they don’t feel super restricting and never lose their shape.
