Sleep and relaxation may top every mom’s wish list—but since you can’t wrap those, these gifts offer the next best thing: a little luxury and a lot of pampering.
TBH, if you ask most moms right now, they say that the best Mother’s Day gift universally is sleep and a little alone time. But since we can’t put a bow on those, the presents on this list reflect what they really want: a moment to feel pampered and beauty choices that they would rarely get for themselves. Top contenders include small luxuries like a silk pillowcase and a luxurious floral perfume.
Now let’s get into it! Let’s show moms how much they’re loved and adored.
For the new mom
Though she might feel overwhelmed all the time, a new mom can use her first Mother’s Day as an opportunity to honor and celebrate this new stage in her life. For a versatile gift that keeps on giving, there are these soothing donut pillows that can be warmed up or frozen to serve as a hot or cold compress for the sensitive breast.

For the outdoorsy mom
If your mom loves the outdoors, gifting her this set is necessary! If she’s still not using sunscreen daily, convince her to wear it by telling the Unseen Sunscreen works as a makeup primer, smoothing out her pores while offering sun protection.
For the traveling mom
If your goal is to impress mom, this well-loved hair tool from Dyson is a sure way to do so! Dyson Airwrap Multi-styler and Dryer will replace all the styling tools that she needs to bring during her vacation or work trip because it does it all. She can create bouncy blowouts, sleek straight styles, and defined curls all with the click of an attachment. And because of Dyson’s next-level heat sensors, her hair won’t be damaged with high heat, either.

For the perfume-loving mom
If she’s a fan of floral perfumes, gift her the best of the best. Gucci’s Flora Gorgeous Gardenia adds a subtle fruity twist to florals with top notes of pear and white gardenia, and shoppers seem to really love it! Also, the luxurious packaging saves you from wrapping it yourself!
For the cozy mom
You may not think a pillowcase falls into the beauty category, but a pure silk pillowcase like this doesn’t absorb as much moisture as other fibers, meaning it’ll keep your skin moisturized. It also doesn’t cause as much friction during sleep, so there’s less tugging on your skin. She’ll also wake up to smoother hair, and we bet she’ll sleep better when her pillow is silky-soft.

For the mom who loves R&R
Relaxation can be achieved in many ways: a shower oil and hand cream from L’Occitane is a simple gift she’ll surely love. For starters, the hand cream may be one of the best hand creams we’ve ever tried. It’s thick and rich and instantly makes your hands feel hydrated. Similarly, the shower oil is nothing short of luxurious, too. It leaves the skin feeling softer than you thought was possible with a body wash. Both products have a deliciously warm almond scent that is simply divine.
