Mother's Day is right around the corner. That means the question on the minds of many grown children and stressed-out spouses is: "What should I get her?"
Never fear. We scouted out the best gifts for every type of mom. Whether yours is always obsessing over the latest technology, looking for help with her next craft or doting over the cute thing her dog did yesterday, we have great gift suggestions picked out for you.
For the active mom:
Monitor steps? Check. Show progress towards goal distance? Check? Wake you up with a silent alarm that won't bother anyone? Check. This fitness tracking bracelet has everything a fitness enthusiast could ask for, and it's a best seller on Amazon.
For the tech-savvy mom
Who says cool gadgets are for Father's Day? If Mom's always looking for a new tech toy to play with, she'll appreciate having a way to keep her phone charged and save up to 16GB worth of information from the same "space pack."
Find it on Morphie.
For the mom who deserves some pampering
Think Mom has earned some TLC but not sure what she needs? Let her sample a little of everything with this box that includes make-up, bath oils, hairspray and more.
Find it in the Birch Box store.
For the crafty mom
For the mom who loves to tinker with arts and crafts to spruce up her home, try these terrariums. They come in glass or metal, so the sprucing possibilities are just about endless.
Find it in the West Elm store.
For the mom with a sense of humor
If Mom has a potty mouth (or if she's always making fart jokes), she's probably hoping for a gift that will make her laugh every time she thinks about it. There are plenty of hilarious sayings (some of them not-so-kid-friendly) to choose from with these key tags.
Find them in Various Projects' Key Tags store.
For the mom who loves her pet
If your house is one where everyone knows who the favorite kid is (and that favorite has four paws and a tail), your mom will love these signs about her pet's life philosophy.
For the "Don't get me anything" mom
Even though they're just trying to help, these moms wind up being the hardest to shop for. If Mom gives the hint that she wants something that you can't put a price tag on, try this sentimental "family tree" where you add the fingerprints yourself.
For the fashionista mom
We take it back: These moms might be hardest to shop for! When they're always one step ahead of you on the latest fashions, it can be hard to know what's up to her standards. This timeless wallet is sure to impress.
Find it in the Nordstrom store.
For the Geek mom
If Mom is a self-proclaimed Geek -- and especially if she has a calendar marking down the days until the premiere of Star Wars Episode XII: The Force Awakens -- then she'd consider this charm bracelet to be out of this world.
Find it in the Think Geek store.
For the bibliophile mom
Is the most chaotic area of the house Mom's bookshelf? Make organizing fun with this cool match book set perfect for "hiding" (read: prominently displaying) banned books. Bonus: The company, Out of Print Clothing, donates a book to charity for every purchase!
