It’s hard to put into words how much our moms mean to us. For all the love and support they show us 365 days a year, we can never quite thank them enough. With Mother’s Day (May 14!) quickly approaching, it’s time to get into present-planning mode — surprise her with one of these Mother’s Day gift ideas.

Our Mother’s Day gift picks this year cover a wide range. From shower steamers for the mom who needs a spa day to a 10-piece tools set for the mom who’s always poking around in the garden to comfy shoes she can pair with any outfit, we gathered gifts that’ll impress every mom. Worried about the picky mom in your life? We even included a gift that gives back that’ll instantly put a smile on her face.

Here, you'll find top-rated editor favorites, chic apparel that'll have her looking and feeling great, clever solutions to her peskiest problems, and plenty of personalized gifts, because after all, she's one in a million. And don't forget about the other mother figures in your life — like your mother-in-law, stepmom, or grandma — there are plenty of thoughtful, great finds on our list for those lovely ladies, too.

Read on to check out the very best Mother’s Day gifts of 2023 that'll inspire happy tears (but won't break the bank).
