Hey! While we’re doing our best to make sure the products we feature will arrive in time for Mother's Day, shipping times can vary depending on where you live, which product you purchase, and more. So order earlier than you think you need to and be sure to double check the retailers’ websites for shipping information to ensure that your gift will arrive in time for May 8th!
1. A Kindle Paperwhite that's thin, glare-free, and – did I mention? – WATERPROOF. That means your mom can read in the bath (game changer). Plus, you could preload some books you know she wants to read to really take the gift to the next level.
2. A wine decanter she'll feel extra fancy using as it aerates her wine to make it taste even better.
3. A Legacybox that'll make it so easy for her to turn all of her old photos and videos of you growing up digitally so you can all treasure them forever.
4. A Lego flower bouquet kit bound to bring a smile to your mom's face twice — once when she opens the box and then again when she puts it together and realizes it can be a functional piece of decor in her home (that never dies!!).
My mom LOVES Legos. So much so that my dad and I have been buying her the architecture sets as gifts for years now. Last year, when I was trying to remember what set she had showed in interested in, I stumbled upon this beautiful floral bouquet and knew she needed it. Stock was limited last year, so I made my dad drive 30 minutes away to pick up one of the last ones, and it was so worth it. This Lego set is so cool and incredibly functional. The flowers look real from afar and can be displayed all year long. My mom loved this gift so much. If your mom is a Lego fan, buy this set right now (because it may sell out quickly).
Promising review: "I cannot say enough wonderful things about this Lego set. The build was calming and enjoyable. The directs were step by step and were easy to follow. The end product is a beautiful display piece. People are shocked to see that it is made from Legos. The colors are wonderful and it is amazing how realistic it is. This will be a long-lasting display piece in our household." —Hingle McCringleberry

5. A Vitamix immersion blender here to make it incredibly easy for her to make delicious soups and sauces. This blender has a super powerful motor, one-handed operation (no matter if she's a righty or lefty), five speeds, and a four pronged blade. Plus, it can be used in any container with at least a three-inch wide opening, meaning fewer dishes to wash. And hey, if that's not enough, it also comes with Bobby Flay's stamp of approval, which any mom would appreciate.
Promising review: "I saw Bobby Flay use this, and I wanted to make something I saw on his show. It's so powerful and won't ever scratch any dish you use! It's well made and will last, just like my 25-year-old blender!! Top shelf! I always purchase top-of-the-line appliances, and Vitamix is the best. This is easy to use, versatile, and powerful. It's now more convenient to make food and beverages." —Chris65
Shipping info: Expedited 2 day shipping options are available at additional cost.
Get it from Vitamix for $149.95.
6. An assortment of Baked By Melissa mini cupcakes in a variety of different flavors that are the perfect bite-sized sweet treat to enjoy on Mother's Day (and the days following).
7. A makeup brush UV sanitizer here to make it super easy for her to disinfect her makeup brushes. All she have to do is put the brushes in it and press the button on top. Five minutes later, her brushes will be clean and ready to use again.
Promising review: "This first caught my eyes when I saw how chic and cute it is. Then I found out it actually help sanitize makeup brushes! I wear makeup regularly, but to be honest, I don't clean my brushes frequently enough. I found it kind of frustrating to clean my brushes. Not sure why but it always takes a REALLY LONG TIME for my brushes to dry. This is such a lifesaver as I know I can sanitize my brushes every time I use them with just one click! I don't have to worry about skin issues caused by dirty brushes anymore! It also makes a really good/cute gift. Very happy with this purchase." —CMC

10. A bathtub caddy to truly make her "me" time some of the best it has ever been. This caddy fits most tubs and has ample space for all her essentials as she takes some much-deserved R&R. Just be warned, she may never leave the bathtub again...
11. An Ember temperature control ceramic mug that'll keep your mom's coffee (or tea) warm for hours so she doesn't take a sip of a cold beverage when she gets distracted. It's the little things in life that make it more luxurious.

13. A 100% recycled cotton tote bag she can use as a shopping bag, grocery bag, or just a "stuff she needs to have with her" bag.
14. A wine chiller made with stainless steel to keep the bottle perfectly chilled for hours, meaning she can enjoy the whole bottle with friends during a dinner party without having to deal with condensation or finding the last glass is room temperature.
Promising review: "I finally bought one for myself, and I love it! Even in the Arizona heat, it keeps the wine cold outdoors. It’s a great alternative to having to use a bucket or got back to the fridge/freezer. It's a great gift for a wine lover, and Vinglace boxing is very classy." — Stagg

15. A puzzle plateau with a large surface and four drawers that are perfect for anyone who enjoys puzzles but hates when the pieces take over the whole kitchen (or coffee) table. Reviewers say this is light enough to easily move out of the way and that the drawers are removable as well, making their puzzle-doing experience the best it has ever been.
The board measures 21"x29" and fits most puzzles up to 1,000 pieces, though reviewers mention 1,000-piece puzzles take up the whole main board.
Promising review: "I purchased this for my nana as a gift, as she's always doing puzzles and stealing my parent's card table. She's always difficult to buy for, but this was a winner. She's been using it nonstop ever since! She (and my parents) love being able to move the puzzle at whatever stage it's in. It arrived in perfect condition and works great. The drawers do come out all the way, so you have to be careful about pulling them out, but that's helpful too because you can sort, move around, or use them for creating sections of the puzzle and then moving them into place. I would definitely recommend this for any avid puzzle builder." —M

16. Rothy's flats I'll get straight to the ~point~ about — not only are these made from recycled materials, but they're also stretchy, machine washable, and oh-so-stylish. Your mom will feel like the queen she is in these beauties.
17. An Olive & June mini jetsetter pack, which has everything she needs to give herself a mani anywhere — not just at home. Whether she takes it with her when she travels, or just down the block, this pack has everything to make sure her nails look great.

The set includes mini version of hand serum, Poppy (universal bottle cover), buffer, file, cuticle serum, clean-up brush, remover pot, nail clipper, top coat, and one color (pick from 10 choices) as well as a sticker pack and the travel pouch.
Promising review: "I absolutely love the mani jetsetter! I am a sucker for mini anything and love how O&J has transformed my favorite products into mini size. I have to say, the pouch is also fantastic for organizing other items like electronic chargers and cables, as well. Truly perfect for future travels!" —Sarah C.

19. A brunch gift set filled with everything you need to have a nice meal at home, so you don't have to fight the brunch crowd, struggle to find a reservation, or cook at home. That's the ultimate treat.
The gift includes a triple cheese and caramelized onion quiche, sliced Canadian-style bacon, lemon poppyseed cake, four English muffins, and Marionberry seedless preserves. Yum!
Promising review: "I sent this to my sister for Mother's Day. She has two very young children, so I didn't want her to have to cook on Mother's Day. They loved it, and the kids really liked the quiche (4 year old and 2 year old). I definitely recommend!!!" —Brittany

It'll be a ~tea-rrific~ package to open that will make her day and give her a reason to use more of her super-cute mug collection (that you've probably contributed to with gifts over the years).

25. A Happy Box customizable care package you can fill with a selection of fun gifts (think mugs, candles, stickers, etc.) that will arrive at her door and make it seem like you spent WAYYY more time curating her gift than you actually did. (Your secret is safe with me!)
And is super easy to put together. First, you pick a beautifully designed box that you then get to fill with a selection of great products. Once you've carefully selected everything you want in the box, you can write up a special message, and Happy Box will take care of the rest!

26. A Nespresso Vertuo, which will mean a ~latte~ to her if she's a coffee lover because she'll be able to make a delicious cup of coffee or espresso in her own home every morning. Just think, while she's taking her first sip, she'll be thinking of you and how great of a gift-giver you really are.
27. Or a Bodum pour-over coffee maker made with heat-resistant borosilicate glass and a permanent filter if she's a little more old-school and doesn't need anything super fancy.

34. A gift subscription to Book of the Month — it'll allow the her to choose a new book from a selection of five (from different genres) each month.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Heather Braga says: "I was gifted a year of Book of the Month for my birthday one year and to date it is one of the best things I've received. There are few things as satisfying as getting truly lost in the pages of a good book — and it'll provide for a great distraction for the mind if your pal has recently been watching something super scary (ahem, the news). Each month they'll be permitted to choose one of four books, all of which are different genres. Then the book they select will be delivered to their door. Magic!

37. A Star Wars cheese board you won't have to ~force~ her to use, because it's just so cool that she'll want to show it off to everyone she knows.
38. Or cheese board and knife set if she's not a huge fan of Star Wars. This set (*Stefon voice*) has everything — five serving sections, a matching separate board, and more. Your mom will actually be so excited to use this as she shows off her truly amazing charcuterie skills to all her friends.
It also comes with four stainless steel knives, two ceramic sauce bowls, two white markers, two black slate labels, four small forks, one wine opener, and a cheese board.
Promising review: "I bought this for my best friend as a gift to celebrate her moving to a new house. She loves it!!!! She was surprised with how great the quality is and how much room it has to decorate with all the food. The additional fruit tray definitely helps with holding extra fruits to serve a larger party. Besides that, it’s also extremely easy to clean since all the drawers are removable. Everyone was so amazed and wants to get one after the party. I had recommended to all of them, and I’m getting one for myself too!" —Yu-Chieh Lee

Promising review: "The product is exactly what it said it would be, the price is excellent (especially since you get two), they arrived properly packaged (in a tube), and it was delivered within a few days of ordering. These are Christmas presents for my kids, and I am 100% pleased. I, of course, messed up only four names in, so good thing I had an extra. This means I can use the messed-up one as a tester for colors and different pens to see exactly what I want. I have experienced no bleeding of ink at all! Anyway, if this is something you are interested in, I highly recommend it!" —Mel Kass

42. An Always pan designed to replace eight pieces of cookware, and look good while doing it. This means she can have a decluttered cabinet and yet still make all the different kinds of food she wants.
43. A minimalist pet portrait (in either a line or colorblock style) that's perfect if it's an open secret that the pet is the favorite sibling of the family. This portrait can be customized for the type of pet and add a personalized touch to her home without clashing with all the other decor she has.
44. A Philosophy gift set complete with a shampoo and shower gel, body lotion, and perfume that are filled with a sweet and beautiful soft-floral scent. This gift is essentially like bringing a spa day right to her.

46. A Skylight Frame digital frame guaranteed to bring a smile to her face as it rotates through all the pictures. Plus, you can give your family the email address to send photos directly to the frame so mom can see updates on how much those cute grandkids are growing every day (granddogs count too!).
47. A NutriBullet to help her ~whip~ up smoothies (and soups and more!) in a matter of seconds.
48. A Furbo dog camera for the empty-nester who replaced her kids with a new kid (aka a dog) and can't bear to be away from the pup. This high-tech camera can help ease anxiety (both hers and their dog's) when she leaves them home alone. With livestream video, two-way audio, *and* treat-dispensing, she can make sure the pup is behaving while she's away, or just reward them for being oh-so-cute.
49. A Revlon One-Stop Hair Dryer and Volumizer she'll be ~blown~ away with because it's a gift that keeps on giving — great hair 365 days a year.
50. Or a Slip silk pillowcase here to make sleep feel even more like a ~dream~, especially when she wakes up with her beautiful curls still intact and frizz-free. (Not to mention her skin looking great too!)
51. A heated massager she can use to relieve the tension she gets from just being out in the world and dealing with everyday stressors (*cough, cough* raising kids).
52. A splurge-worthy Barefoot Dreams robe that'll basically make her feel like she's wearing a big blanket all the time. She'll feel very luxurious and like royalty.
53. A pair of faux fur slippers lined with microfleece fabric (that absorbs any moisture *cough, cough* sweat) to keep her feet at a consistent cozy temperature all day long. Plus, with the multi-layer memory-foam footbed, she'll feel like she's walking on little soft clouds.
54. And a pre-made felt flower bouquet because flowers are always a great gift, but they're an even better gift when they don't die after only one short week.
