For the sentimental mom

Featuring a built-in clock and calendar, this slim digital picture frame can display Mom's favorite memories in a rotating slideshow (via SD memory card or USB). It'll come in real handy if she's starting to run out of room on her phone, and you and your siblings won't be able to fight over who gets the primo spot on her gallery wall anymore — a win-win.

A Homesick candle

For the mom with kids away at college

Homesick creates custom candles inspired by specific states and cities — Austin smells like bergamot, amber, and "warm Texas suede" — as well as a range of pop culture-inspired scents (such as Joey and Chandler's apartment) and special occasions. Our pick for Mother's Day? A Mom's Day Off candle. What could be more appropriate?

Some soft button-up pajamas

For the mom-to-be

This ultra-stretchy, buttery-soft set from Target's Stars Above brand comes in five colors and ten sizes.

Teleties hair clips

For the new mom

A friend with a five-month-old told us Teleties' bendable, non-slip claw clips are great for moms with little ones who like to grab and tug on long hair. They're a little pricier than standard hair clips (ranging from $12.99 to $14.99, depending on the size), so she probably wouldn't think to splurge on them herself. Choose from four sizes and multiple colors.

Shower steamers

For the first-time mom

Available in five scents, BodyRestore's top-rated aromatherapy tablets are made with natural essential oils that dissolve in the shower for instant at-home spa vibes.

Cricut accessories

For the crafter

If your DIY-inclined mom has a Cricut machine, build her a bundle of accessories and tools she can use to make even more projects. (And if she doesn't already have a Cricut, go in with your dad or siblings on one.)

'Wavelength'

For the family game night coordinator

This TikTok-famous party game for ages 14 and up tests how well you can think like your fellow players — which should be easy, since you share genes... right? It's an entertaining way to "get conversations going and raise the energy for hours," said Mashable contributor Jenna Clark, who recommended it for groups of four or more people.

A custom puzzle

For the puzzle-doer

Shopping reporter Bethany Allard's mom "adored" a custom puzzle with a picture of the family dog on it.

A pair of Bombas Gripper Slippers

For the mom who likes to lounge

A sleep mask with built-in headphones

For the chill mom

A pal with two boys under three loves this upgraded sleep mask, which has built-in speakers and Bluetooth connectivity so she can listen to music or podcasts while she dozes off. It's made of washable, ultra-breathable cotton with light-blocking padding and has a battery life of up to 10 hours per charge.

An initial necklace

For the luxe mom

That same mom friend who vouched for the sleep mask is hoping to get jewelry with her kids' initials this Mother's Day. GLDN's collection of affordable handmade pieces includes the delicate Yue necklace, which has pendant discs you can personalize with letters and tiny motifs.

A pair of gardening gloves

For the green-thumbed mom

Director of Special Projects Nicole is a big fan of these comfy, rubber-coated gardening gloves for planting and weeding. (She moonlights as a flower farmer, so she knows her stuff.)
