Best Mother's Day Gifts For Daughters Overall
A Personalized Necklace To Keep Her Kids Close
MOST POPULAR
This personalized necklace from BaubleBar is a must for a stylish mama. The pendant is large enough to fit up to four of her loved ones’ initials, allowing her to carry a little piece of family wherever she goes. If a necklace isn’t her style, this cute beaded bracelet can also be customized with the names of her kids (and she can easily stack them to represent them whole clan).
A Custom Photo Album To Preserve Family Memories
They say the days are long, but the years are short. Help her remember the moments and relive the memories any time she wants with a personalized photo album. Artifact Uprising offers complete customization, from the paper finish to the design of every page, for a gift that truly feels like it was made just for her.
A Mom-Themed Candle That Looks As Good As It Smells
It can be hard to justify the cost of a beautiful candle for yourself. Take the guilt out of it and treat your daughter to a sweet blend of white lilies, leather and soft musk with the Anthropologie Mama Candle. She’ll enjoy 45 hours of burn time, which will hopefully inspire her kick back and relax for a few of them.
A Classically Beautiful Bouquet
This colorful bouquet by 1-800-Flowers can be customized with either one or two dozen assorted roses for a spring bouquet that feels both timeless and modern. You can also chose the color of the vase and bundle additional add-ons like chocolates. It’s the perfect gift if you’re unsure what to get your daughter—who doesn’t love fresh flowers?
A Super Soft Throw For Cozy Nights In
She’ll love cozying up with this lightweight, extremely soft Barefoot Dreams throw whenever she gets a moment to herself. It also leaves plenty of room for the kids to join her during family movie nights on the couch. Choose from a range of pretty neutral colors that complement any décor.
A Sweet Treat To Go Around
Get to her heart through her stomach with Levain Bakery’s Signature Cookie Assortment, which features four beloved flavors: Chocolate chip walnut, dark chocolate chocolate chip, dark chocolate peanut butter chip and oatmeal raisin. With the size of these cookies, there will be plenty for her to share—if she wants to, that is.
A Dreamy Spring Dress That's Actually Comfortable
Hill House’s Nap Dress is still oh-so-popular and not going anywhere for good reason. Striking the ideal balance between style and ease, it’s the perfect gift for the busy mom in your life. The brand even offers mini versions of the women’s Ellie dress, which means she can match with her own daughter.
A Chic Wireless Charging Tray To Keep Everything In Its Place
This clever leather catchall by Courant charges devices and serves as a home for keys, rings, earbuds and all those other little essentials she doesn’t want to lose. Available in five neutral colors, there’s bound to be one that pairs well with the rest of her décor.
A Silk Sleep Mask For A Solid Night Of Rest
This silky sleep mask by Slip not only looks great, but also feels incredible. Plus, since silk is less absorbent than other fibers, the products from her nighttime skincare routine will sink right into her skin instead of being sucked up by her sleep mask.
A Portable Facial Humidifier For The Gift Of Glowing Skin
Whether your daughter lives in a dry climate or not, she can never have too much hydration—and Hey Dewy’s wireless facial humidifier makes it easy for her to get it wherever she goes (bedroom, car, bathroom and beyond). She’ll enjoy up to 8 hours of mist on a single charge.
A Minimalist Travel Bag For The Busy Mom
Lux & Nyx surveyed over 5,000 women when dreaming up this origami-inspired laptop and travel bag, which has been meticulously designed for staying organized. This bag is ideal for the mom who frequently travels, featuring a padded laptop compartment, trolley sleeve, phone pocket, water bottle pocket and more. Even better, its simple design will match her current luggage set.
An Iconic Perfume That Never Goes Out Of Style
You can’t go wrong with a tried and true classic. Chanel N°5 is a timeless and recognizable floral scent with a smooth base of bourbon vanilla making for a special addition to her fragrance collection. It’s a thoughtful present for a new mom who will enjoy the brief moment of self-care with every spritz.
An It-Girl Sandal That She'll Wear All Summer
If supermodel and mom Gigi Hadid is wearing M.Gemi, you know it’s the real deal. Handcrafted in Italy, this leather sandal will make her feel completely comfortable (thanks to its molded footbed and lightweight sole), yet still undeniably chic whether she’s running errands or picking up the kids from school.
Cool Leggings To Upgrade Her Workout
Let’s face it: leggings aren’t going anywhere. Invest in a nice pair for your daughter like Aritizia’s hi-rise leggings that come in 19 colors and a wide range of sizes. Take it a step further by grabbing her the matching top.
A Coveted Skincare Device To Enhance Her Routine
You can get her a facial, or you can get her several of them with TheraFace Pro. This multitasking facial device caters to her skincare concerns through percussive therapy, microcurrent, LED and infrared lights, temperature and much more. The best part? As complicated as that all sounds, it’s incredibly effective and easy to use.
A Collection To Spice Up Her Kitchen
Most moms know their way around a kitchen, but those who don’t just need a little inspiration. These eight core spices from The Spice House are the heart of many dishes and will help her whip up anything she’s craving. The reusable glass bottles also make for a more sustainable alternative to single-use plastic bottles.
AirPods For A Moment Of Calm
Sometimes Mom just needs a moment for herself. Help her block out all of the noise and tune into a podcast, a song or maybe just some peace and quiet with a pair of Apple AirPods Pro. And for selfish reasons, get them for her because she’ll even be able to take your calls while wearing them.
A Chic co*cktail Gift Set For Happy Hours At Home
If your daughter appreciates the art of a craft co*cktail but doesn’t have time in her busy schedule to swing by the local watering hole, consider this gorgeous bundle of premade co*cktails from beloved New York City restaurant Via Carota. She’ll receive a set of three ready-to-pour classics—the Old Fashioned, Classic Negroni and Espresso Martini—that arrive in textured glass bottles worthy of a spot on her bar cart.
A Matching Set That Simplifies Getting Ready
This simple-yet-chic set from sustainable fashion brand Reformation is as easy as it gets. Since your daughter already has to make sure the kids get up and dressed every morning, help her get out the door more effortlessly with this breezy linen tank and matching trousers. It’s available in sleep black and this goes-with-everything shade of oatmeal.
Cheeky Stationery For The Mom Who Loves A Handwritten Note
There’s nothing quite like a handwritten letter. Don’t let her forget all the manners you taught her with Dear Annabelle’s cheeky notecards that feature prints of martinis, margaritas, champagne flutes and more celebratory co*cktails. Plus, how else is she going to thank you for your gift?
A 4-In-1 Cooking Time-Saver
Busy moms who don’t exactly relish in preparing elaborate meals will be delighted by this countertop oven from Panasonic, which combines a microwave, broiler, air fryer and convection oven all in one. And just like that, dinner is off her plate.
A Classically Cool Sneaker
Chances are, your daughter is on her feet often. For the mom on-the-go, get her sneakers that are not only comfortable, but stylish. Veja’s white leather Esplar shoes are a fantastic choice, not only for the high level of quality, but their ability to elevate any look.
An Appointment-Free Manicure
Every busy mom deserves a fresh set of nails, but rarely does she have the time to get them done. With a set of press-ons, she can receive the gift of a perfect mani in minutes, and without the time-consuming appointment. These nails from Chillhouse come with everything she needs (including glue and tools), plus they come in a wide range of designs, shapes and lengths to match her style.
An On-Demand Cleaner
Let her set it and forget it with iRobot’s Roomba robot vacuum. She can run errands while her Roomba does all of the work for her, and come home to a nice clean space. Plus, if she’s also a dog mom, this one is particularly great at collecting animal hair.
The Gift Of Health
Don’t just get her any old supplement. The Nue Co. is known for its incredibly high-quality products (i.e. no unnecessary additives or any of the bad stuff) that live up to their name. This is a gift that any woman will appreciate—after all, health is wealth!
A Comfortable And Chic Bathing Suit For Sunny Days Ahead
Hunza G One-Piece Swimsuit
If your daughter’s summer will be filled with trips to the local pool or beach with the kiddos, treat her to a new bathing suit that’s a cut above the rest. Hunza G’s one-pieces are unbelievable comfortable and made with the brand’s original crinklefabric that’s designed to flex and sculpt to the body. They’re made in onlyone size, which is super stretchy and fits and flatters up to a women’s size 14.
A Weekend Bag That Holds It All
Encourage your daughter to plan a weekend away with July’s Daybreak bag. With its straightforward design, this weekender is truly the perfect size for all of her essentials (and likely some of her kids’ stuff). It’s also water-resistant and comes in four classic colors.
A Hair Curling Kit For Easier Mornings
Between early breakfasts, school drop-offs and chasing after the dog, her mornings are chaotic enough. Help her wake up with freshly styled hair every day and remove yet another task from her morning rush. All it takes is twirling strands around the Mermade Hair rod before bed to wake up with a gorgeous faux blowout, no matter how early her wake-up call is.
Fuel For Her Busy Days
For tired mamas, coffee is her lifeline. Keep her pantry stocked with fuel for the next three months, thanks to this convenient subscription gift. The vintage-inspired packaging is stunning, and Lady Falcon offers 12 different roasts to choose from so you can pick the one you know she’ll love.
A Setting Spray For Flawless Makeup All Day
A setting spray is paramount for moms to keep their makeup intact during full days. This setting spray from Shades By Shan features hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and ginseng extract to blur and minimize pores, while hydrating the skin through PTA meetings, baseball games and more.
A Stylish Pair Of Sunglasses
A pair of sunglasses are a great gift to compliment her style, protect her eyes, and most importantly, hide the fact that she was up all night with her little one. These sunnies by Dezi have a sleek cat-eye shape and feature 100% UV protection to block out the strong summer rays.
A Buzzy Non-Alcoholic co*cktail Set
Mocktails are an easy way to enjoy a mom nightcap—without feeling it the next day. This gift set from The New Bar comes with everything she’ll need to handcraft her own drinks from her at-home minibar, including zero-proof spirits that pack tons of flavor.
A Versatile Makeup Trio
Applying makeup from the school parking lot, in a bathroom before a meeting or on the subway is a situation moms know all too well. This Nudestix trio makes glam on the go simple and foolproof. The entire set fits in a clutch-friendly tin and you can literally do a whole face with the three pieces (eye stick/highlighter, blush and lip).
A Crafty Kit For The Nouveau Knitter
Knitting is no longer limited to grandmas. And with the We Are Knitters Saturday Top Knitting Kit, she gets a cool new hobby and a cute blouse, all in one. The kit comes with an easy-to-follow pattern, plus all the yarn and knitting needles she’ll need.
A Compact Shaver For Grooming On The Go
Nothing is worse than realizing you missed a spot while shaving, and unsurprisingly it happens to us busy moms more than we’d care to admit. With this portable shaver you can gift her some peace of mind that she can take on the go. This shaver is water-safe and the size of your palm, perfect for vacations with the kids or day trips with her partner.
A Stylish Sun Shirt With UPF 50
Between beach days with the kids, weekend soccer games or after-work walks, moms spend a considerable amount of time in the sun. Consider upgrading her wardrobe with a chic protective sun shirt. This innovative pullover by Watskin is made from UPF 50+ material, which blocks 98% of the sun's UV rays. Even better, a percentage of proceeds from every purchase is donated to the Melanoma Research Alliance.
A Lilac Milk Bath For A Relaxing Soak
Moms who do it all deserve to relax and unwind, and this lilac-scented bath milk from Bath Notes will ensure a luxurious bathing experience. The signature blend also includes milk, vitamins and oils that come together to instantly hydrate and replenish her skin.
