The gift of sleep is the gift that keeps giving. This sleep assistant lets the user personalize a sleep and wake-up routine, read with a soft-glow light, awake with a gentle sunrise alarm that gradually brightens, listen to a library of soothing sleep sounds, and more. Purchasing a membership (you can cancel at any time) gets you a Restore device and free access to Hatch Sleep, a growing content library of meditations, stories, music, and more.
3. Furtuna Skin Rituale Luminoso Transformation Set
If you’re shopping for a woman who’s all about clean beauty, this kit is a must. The products are sourced from nutrient-dense plants that grow wildly on La Furtuna Estate in Sicily. Because they grow abundantly, farmers are able to ensure sustainable wild foraging; what’s more, the company uses sound bath—a process in which sound waves extract the nutrients from the plants, rather than harsh chemicals—to keep from damaging them. The Acqua Serena Micellar Cleansing Essence is a three-in-one cleanser, toner, and essence that gently preps the skin; the Porte Per La Vitalità Face and Eye Serum is like a vitamin bath for skin, safely brightening, tightening, and lending antioxidant benefits; and the Due Alberi Biphase Moisturizing Oil nourishes and hydrates with its blend of olive leaf water, olive oil, and magnolia extract. Together, they block free radical damage and defend against environmental skin stressors. Because these are plant-based, the play well with other skincare products, too.
Matcha mamas will rejoice in this sleek machine that brews freshly ground matcha to enjoy in the comfort of home. The starter kit includes the Matcha Maker, two different types of organic matcha leaves, a whisking cup, and an adapter.

Moms don’t always have a lot of time to spare (read: any), but this full-body workout machine helps tone muscles effectively, even if she only has 10 minutes to squeeze in a sweat session. She can target arms, abs, and glutes; strengthen knee joints; and reduce stiffness with one low-impact machine that folds up and rolls out of the way when not in use.
Upgrade her experience with this upmarket Harman Kardon-powered speaker that’s combined with a showerhead. Thanks to a magnetic docking system, she can also take this speaker out to the yard, pool, beach, and beyond.
The versatility of Haus’ apéritif flavors is only paralleled by its chic packaging. Opt among four bottles in one of the company’s two sampler kits, which include bottles like Rose Rosé, Ginger Yuzu, and Grapefruit Jalapeño. Straying from convention, Haus sources real fruits and botanicals, not artificial flavors, to concoct modern, low-ABV apéritifs that “have the flavor complexity of a cocktail, but are low enough in alcohol—stronger than wine, lighter than whiskey—that you can enjoy them all evening (or afternoon).” This is a brilliant gift for moms who enjoy family gatherings and entertaining friends.
For the yoga mom, there’s no such thing as too many yoga mats. Especially if they’re decorated with a host of hand-drawn prints like these mats. Each one features a microsuede top for enhanced grip (no harsh chemicals, dyes, PVC, or thermoplastic rubbers). Created by two mothers and trained children’s yoga teachers, Jollie partners with pediatric cancer hospitals across the country to build and bolster their yoga therapy programs. With every mat purchased, one is donated to a pediatric cancer patient.

Iceland’s renowned bean-to-bar chocolatier makes damn good chocolate, but you don’t have to book a trip across the ocean to score some.

Some of the best Mother’s Day gifts are the ones she’ll use every day, and we have a sneaking suspicion she’ll love this premium tote from Yeti. It’s serious upgrade from your average fabric tote: It’s made with waterproof, puncture-resistant ThickSkin material for exceptional durability, the molded EVA bottom keeps it upright and easy to load, and multiple interior zippers and dividers will keep all her gear organized.

If the backyard is her favorite place in the house, she’ll make good use of this fire pit, which marks the brand’s first foray into semi-customized builds (frame sizes range from 19 to 30 inches, and you can opt for a stainless steel or patina finish). As the name implies, this fire pit is engineered to reduce smoke output drastically, and you can grab accessories like a sear plate for open-flame cooking.
Searching for Mother’s Day gifts for an audiophile? You can’t go wrong with these stylish and technically impressive noise-canceling headphones.

The pros at the WNBA even use it for training and coronavirus safety measures, but all levels of wellness enthusiasts will enjoy tracking and learning from their three daily scores—readiness (a measurement of how well your body has recovered), activity, and sleep.
There are lots of Mother’s Day gifts for new moms, but we like this four-in-one steamer, blender, warmer, and defroster. Gift it, and you’re giving her more time in her day to play or decompress. It takes all the manual labor out of cooking baby food from scratch; all she has to do is add vegetables, meat, or fish into the eco-friendly glass bowl and stainless steel steam basket, and the machine will cook it from raw to any stage (baby and toddler) in 15 minutes or less. Once steamed, the attached blender with blitz the food to the preferred consistency (fine to chunky puree). Best of all, she can do it all with just one hand.
One of the brand’s flagship smartwatches, the Suunto 9 Peak should be on your shortlist of Mother’s Day gifts for any weekend warrior or serious athlete.
