Mother-daughter gifts go a little deeper than gifts you might give to other people. They need to demonstrate that you know your mom inside and out, and that you have a deep understanding of her likes, dislikes, needs, wants and desires. If that sounds a little complicated...well, it can be. Which is exactly why we decided to do the research for you and unearth some of the sweetest, coolest, most special (and sometimes most practical) gifts daughters can buy for their moms.
Whether you’re looking to spoil her with a luxury gift or track down a thoughtful present under $25, we’ve found gifts for mom that suit every budget, interest, and style. If she needs some encouragement to relax and unwind, opt for a rose petal-infused bath soak or candle gift set. For personalized gifts that won’t break the bank, check out this heartfelt art print or personalized pillow. And if you’re able to splurge on a high-end gift, indulge her with these sparkly huggie earrings or a stylish woven cooler tote that’s perfect for picnicking.
So go ahead and peruse on through. We’ve got gifts for yogis, home chefs, philanthropists, wine lovers, and bookworms. But if you still can’t find the perfect mother-daughter gift, check out these gifts for moms who have everything, fitness gifts for moms, or even gifts for your mother-in-law (hey, she’s your mom, too!). You’re practically guaranteed to find the present that will make your mom’s heart melt—just be sure to give her a big hug, too.
