101 Best Christmas Gifts for Mom

I got my first pair of Stabilicers as a gift and it was one of the most useful gifts I’d ever received so I immediately gave a pair to my Mother-in-law who proceded to repeatedly thank me in texts throughout the winter. If your mom lives in a wintry climate, she needs these.

Stabilicers are stretchy silicone soles that fit over your shoes and winter boots. The bottom is covered in little blunt teeth that are set in opposite directions and stop you from slipping on the ice. 

I’ve lived in the White Mountains of New Hampshire where most surfaces could double as an ice skating rink from January on. After I got these, I didn’t fall on the ice a single time. As an experiment, I have tried to fall on ice while wearing these, and I couldn’t.

They come in several different sizes and colors. Trust me, if she lives in the northern climes, these are a lifesaver.

If your mother has a soft spot for whimsical fairy lights or nostalgic fireflies in jars, she’ll love these Solar Mason Jar Lanterns.  

I bought myself a set of these and I get compliments on them constantly. The solar-powered LED strings of lights are attached to the covers and inside the included mason jars. They can be hung from trees or from hooks on your deck, patio, or balcony with the included metal handles. After being charged by sunlight, they automatically turn on in the dark to glow like captured fireflies.  

This set comes with four complete jars with lights or, if you know she enjoys going to flea markets or thrift shops, get her this pack of eight lids and hangers and then she can pick out her own standard-mouth mason jars. They look really amazing in old antique jars. 

If your mom works on her feet, her eyes will light up more than your tree when she opens this Motorized Massaging Foot Spa on Christmas.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, when all jobs are averaged out, we spend about 61 percent of our workday standing or walking. That’s a lot of sore feet and they only get achier as we get older. 

Help your mom relax and recover with a soothing, massaging foot spa. This one has four motorized shiatsu rollers, for maise massage rollers, bubble massage, motorized exfoliating pumice stone, and adjustable heat. The settings can be adjusted either from the lit interface on the top of the unit which is very user-friendly. She can just sit back and unwind and think about how great of a child you are.

I love that the base of the spa has rounded nubs that are more like river rocks than the pointy acupressure nubs that many find painful. It’s also easy to empty with it’s locking caster wheels, pull handle, and long drain spout so she won’t have to carry the spa to dump it into the sink. 

If this foot spa doesn’t fit what you’re looking for, there are a range of the best foot bath options with tips on how to choose the right one for you.

Chances are your mother’s thought about having her ancestry mapped but might not have treated herself to it. 

Spoil her now with the best DNA testing kit on the market. I did my ancestry through 23andMe and the experience has been great. The instructions were easy to follow and the results were through, and for me personally, kind of surprising. 

The 23andMe reports cover ethnicity, sometimes down to specific regions of countries, percentages, estimated family timelines, and simple to understand charts and graphs. They recently added a feature that provides cultural information about their ethnic groups so if you suddenly find out that you’re Greek as I did, you can listen to the cultural music of the region and read more about it.

Along with ancestry, you can also opt-in for health reports that test for genetic markers for increased risk of certain diseases. They’re very careful to get consent before showing these results, so if you don’t want to know you won’t accidentally see them. 

They also have genetic trait testing that shows whether you’re more likely to taste cilantro as soap or less likely not have freckles. Then there’s the huge network of 23andMe uses that you can connect with and find distant relatives you never knew existed. 

It’s a lot of fun and as their technology improves, they keep updating my reports so they are better and more accurate. It’s a great gift for anyone.

If your mom loves flowers, she’ll love this handmade glass pendant containing pressed Forget-Me-Not flowers.

Each necklace from BayouGlassArts is made by hand by one independent artist living deep in the woods of Louisiana. The pendant comes on an adjustable chain and, as it’s a real flower, each one will be unique in the world.

Your mum not a fan of these flowers? BayouGlassArts has a variety of flowers available including daisies, queen Anne’s lace, lavender and, heather.

For the mother who loves the classic art of letter-writing, this set of 100 different botanical illustration postcards will make her life easier and make letter-writing more fun.

The set includes 100 postcards, each with a different botanical illustration pulled from the archives of the New York Botanical Garden. Half the fun will be flipping through the images and deciding which plant matches the message she wants to send. The illustrations are gorgeously detailed and printed matte to best match how they were originally created. The printing is good enough to be framed as wall art.

Having to find the right envelope that fits the right stationery is a hassle and sometimes your mom just wants to send a quick thank you note or a hello without all that fuss. Postcards are a perfect writing medium that is the letter and envelope right in one.

If your mom loves relaxing on the deck or patio, she’ll adore this Hanging Chaise. It’s like a hammock but better.

It comes with its own stand so she won’t have to worry about the chore of installing it and that also makes it easier to move around the deck or patio as needed. The weather-proof steel frame holds a hammock-like support with a removable chaise cushion in six colors including teal, red, and grey.

Straps control how much the chaise swings and there’s a removable canopy to provide shade when you want it. 

If your mom’s a Star Wars fan as well as a crafter and loves to sew or quilt, she’ll be floored by this Star Wars Brother Embroidery Machine.

I featured the Brother embroider machines in my guide to the Best Embroidery Machines as one of the best brands for beginners. This machine has a large full-color touchscreen with 80 pre-loaded designs, 103 sewing stitches, nine fonts for lettering, 10 free downloadable Star Wars embroidery designs, and a USB port for uploading new images. 

The touchscreen makes it easy to upload and properly resize your images and the machine does the rest. 

An embroidery machine is something that many crafters my daydream about but won’t drop the cash for. Spoil her this Christmas. 

They’ll love this Gellen Starter Kit because a lot of moms love having their nails done but simply don’t have the time which is why gel nails are so great because they last so long–but what happens when moms are too busy to go get gel nails done at the salon? They do their own with a gel nail kit.

You’ll save her so much money with this gift. The cost of a kit is often the same as the cost of getting two gel manicure at the salon and has enough product for over a year’s worth of manicures. 

This kit by Gellen includes an LED nail lamp, cuticle tools, cuticle oil pen, nail polish remover pads, prep wipes, nail brush, nail files, toe separator, nail files, striping tape, nail art gems, nail art stickers, glossy top coat, matte top coat, base coat, and 12 colors of gel nail polish.

There are six different versions of the kit with different nail color themes from this Classic Nudes Kit pictured above for a more refined look to a Pinks and Glitters Kit for the flashy mom.

Upgrade her fitness tracker this Christmas to the Fitbit Charge 3. 

It has a seven-day battery life with a charge time of only two hours. It can be worn all day and all night including while swimming and in the shower. It tracks heart rate, uses GPS for accurate pacing, analyzes sleep patterns, and allows you to set and track your fitness goals. 

The Fitbit app gathers all your information and displays it in easy to understand charts so you visually and quickly get a sense of your progress. On top of that, you can check the weather and receive text notifications right on the band.

This pasta necklace series is a no-brainer for the Italian mother in your life.

If she’s always been there for you with a big bowl of pasta, give her something that combines two things Italian moms love most: jewelry and pasta. 

And for non-Italian moms, it’s a cute take on the colored pasta necklaces we made for our moms in kindergarten–just a bit more stylish.

The Delicacies Al Dente collection includes all your favorite pasta types: cellentani, elbow, orecchiette, penne, rotini, and farfalle.

I have tested out a sample of the Aera system and I love it. It would make a perfect gift for any mom who is sick of reed diffusers and artificial sprays.

The Aera is a smart diffuser with 10 levels of scent strength which can be controlled manually by the buttons on the device itself or through the Aera app on your smartphone. The app also allows you to set up schedules so you can set the Aera so it turns on an hour before she gets home from work so the place is smelling fresh.

There are a large variety of scent capsules from simple fragrances like Sandalwood to complex blends like Mosaic with notes of pink grapefruit, ginger, and amber. The capsules aren’t the cheapest on the market but each one can last over six months and I can vouch for that to be true from first-hand experience. 

Upgrade her e-reader to the newest Kindle Oasis with Paperwhite display and the ability to turn on a blue light filter to protect your eyes and make falling asleep easier.

Like a lot of folks, my mother-in-law likes to read her Kindle in bed to fall asleep but the blue-tinted light from screens has been shown by studies to keep us awake and even damage our eyes with long-term exposure. Most smartphones these days have an optional automatic blue light filter that turns on at sunset but the Oasis is the first generation of the Kindle to have adjustable warm lighting to counteract blue light.

This “amber light” is customizable and will automatically adjust to lighting conditions. 

In addition to that new feature, the Oasis is waterproof up to two meters for 60 minutes, has Whispersync so you can easily move from reading to listening to your books, page turn buttons, flush-front screen. 

It’s available in 32G of memory, featured here, but you can also get it with 8G of memory, though for the price difference, it’s worth it to go for the full 32. It also comes in the colors Graphite and Champagne Gold. 

For the mom who loves going to the beach, this Desktop Beach will let her bring the beach to the office or home 

This tropical sand garden will help to reduce her stress at work or at home as arranging raking the sand is deeply soothing. The mini beach comes with an 7.8 by 9.9-inch hardwood box, sand, mini beach chair, mini umbrella, mini sandcastle, tiny pail, mini shovel, sand rake, mini real seashells, and tiny real starfish.

Your mom can decorate her beach however she likes. 

A mix of comfort and style is big right now so she’ll love this ultra-flattering over-sized cardigan. 

Made my Grecerelle, this cardigan is meant to be oversized so it has that billowing, windswept look to it. It’s a style that can be dressed up or dressed down. No matter the look, it’s always cozy.

For the mom who hikes, pick her up the Sirrus 24 from the best name in hiking pack gear.

If she loves to hike in hot or wet environments, you simply can’t beat Osprey’s breathable mesh lining. Where the pack sits on your back, the fabric is ventilated mesh allowing for movement of air so you can dry off faster if you’ve been caught in the rain and you stay cool instead sweating underneath your bag.

If that was the only perk for this bag, that alone might make it a gift she’d be excited to get but Sirrus 24 also has an integrated raincover, adjustable torso height, pole and tool attachment systems, hip pockets, and internal hydration sleeve.

It comes in purple, black, grey, and blue.

This NutriChef Wine Fridge is large enough to hold 12 full-size bottles of wine but compact enough to be stored on a countertop.

If your mom likes to end her day with a glass of wine, she’ll love having more storage to store her wine at the temperature of her choice. It has a super user-friendly touch-button digital display where you can adjust the temperature of your chiller and control the internal LED light.

The stainless steel door fits into most kitchen decors and its quiet operation won’t disrupt family time in the kitchen.

This Christmas, get your mom the best blanket for napping ever with this Cooling Weighted Blanket. 

Mom naps are sacred but daily stress and the sounds of kids or grandkids can make getting those precious minutes of rest difficult. Enter the weighted blanket. 

Weighted blankets have been shown to reduce the time it takes to fall asleep and improve the quality of that sleep. This 20-pound blanket from ZonLi has carefully distributed tiny glass beads for relaxing, even weight. Plus it’s designed to be cooling so they’re less likely to overheat.

If your mom loves wine but she also has asthma, gets headaches or even migraines, studies show the sulfites in wine might be the cause–but Ullo can remove those sulfites.

This set includes both the Ullo filter and their handblown glass decanter, but you can also purchase the Ullo filter by itself.

Ullo is a sulfite-selective wine filter that removes sulfites from wine. Sure, your mom could just stick to sulfite-free wine, but doesn’t your mother deserve to have the full range of wines available to her without worrying they’ll make her miserable?

The small Ullo filter is shaped to fit inside any average size wine glass and most wine decanters. It removes both sulfites and wine sediment making for a more enjoyable wine without the headaches. 

For red wines, there’s an easy switch that turns the filter into an aerator as well. She’ll be touched by a thoughtful gift that takes into consideration what she enjoys as well as her health.

If she has a passion for houseplants and new and interesting planters, she’ll love this whale from Creative Co-Op.

It’s made of smooth stoneware and has a friendly expression on the whale’s face. It’s cute and small, perfect for a couple of tiny succulents. Whether she loves plants, whales, nautical theme design, or all of the above, this will be a hit. 

With this Solar Birdbath Fountain your mom can enjoy the tranquil effect of a water feature in her yard without having to worry about powering it. 

This birdbath has an integrated solar panel on the upper bowl that runs the fountain and pump, creating a gorgeous water feature without the hassle. It comes with four different fountain spouts to choose from from a gentle gurgle to a full arcing fountain of water. There are also LED lights for at night though the solar battery doesn’t store enough power to run the whole night through.

Do keep in mind it’s less than three-feet tall so if you want something bigger, check out the Sunnydaze 45-inch solar fountain.

If she loves her morning coffee, she’ll love it even more when it’s this foamy coffeehouse espresso for her own Nespresso

The Pixie is a programmable pod brewer with a large water reservoir making your morning espresso just one button away. It’s super easy to use and the pods make it even easier to clean. After brewing, the used pods are ejected and drop into an internal reservoir for emptying later. 

As you can tell by its name, the Pixie is compact, making it perfect for small or already crowded kitchens. It’s easy to find room for something this size. 

This bundle includes a selection of pods as well as a milk frother for making lattes and cappuccinos at home.

Get a cute holiday mug and make it a set.

This is a nice choice if she loves spending evenings in her backyard. This multi-use firepit is a unique square shape with a rim of faux slate tiles just large enough to set down a drink. It has a steel fire bowl with a decorative supporting base. The raised design limits bending over and the crossing beams on the base help prevent children from getting too close to the underside of the fire bowl.

For function, it comes with a spark screen, waterproof cover, poker, and BBQ grill for cooking over the coals.

If she’s obsessed with candles, Nest is the best candle brand I’ve ever tried and she’ll love being spoiled by such high-quality fragrances and reusable frosted glass holders. 

This sampler is a great introduction for her into the world of luxury candles as it comes with six of their most popular scents: grapefruit, bamboo, Moroccan amber, Sicilian tangerine, ocean mist and sea salt, and cedar leaf and lavender.

Nest fragrances are unique from cheaper candles in that they never have that cheap artificial scent. Their fragrances are layered with for a complex aroma that’s pleasing and never fake-smelling.

That’s not to say these aren’t powerful. I have some media samples of these and one little candle can lend its fragrances to several large rooms. Must partner is prone to getting fragrance headaches and Nest candles have never given him any issues

If you’re looking for more or bigger luxury candles, check out my guide to the Best Luxury Candles.

Bebe by Me creates necklaces that both look stylish and are meant to be chewed on by teething infants.

Mothers with infants will appreciate this practical necklace right now over a dainty gold chain because whatever she’s wearing is going to end up in her toddler’s mouth.

They’re made of food-grade silicone and on each necklace, there is a mix of three different firmnesses of beads: hard, soft, and cushy. The satin cord is very strong and they recently just upgraded the clasp to contend with tugging hands.

The chunky, geometric beads are trendy and also help stimulate visual and tactile development for the baby. It’s entirely BPA and toxin-free.

When people love crystals, they really love crystals so if your mom collects, this Amethyst Cathedral will blow her mind.

The geode cathedral is 14 inches tall, 9.5 inches wide, and 7.75 inches deep. It weighs around 37 pounds so this is a statement type of gift that will really wow her.

The crystal in the photo is the actual geode you will receive and not an example which I love. You can see exactly what you’re getting and there isn’t another geode just like this one in the world. 

Large geodes make for stunning decor both inside and outside in the garden. For more crystal gift ideas check out the best Crystals for Home decor.

For moms with a love of the sea, especially the Caribbean, and mothers with partners stationed away from home, Hook Bracelet is a lovely gift for them. 

The hook has many stories behind it and The Hook Company includes Caribbean folklore includes the fishhook bracelet as being worn by fishermen’s wives with the opening facing outward when their husbands were out at sea and then facing inward when they had returned safely home.

It’s made out of pure titanium which is lighter and stronger than silver as well as being hypoallergenic. The two-tone effect is created with gold-plated titanium as well. Several thicknesses and widths are available to best fit her wrist.

Give your mom more security this year with a  Ring Video Doorbell. 

The Ring 2 works with Alexa devices and an app on your phone to monitor your door with video, including night vision. It’s motion-activated and will notify you when the motion sensor has been triggered or when anyone presses the bell.  The device allows you to see who is at your door as well as have two-way conversations with whoever is at the door. If you’re away from home you can also activate the camera remotely to check in. 

Ring 2 can either be powered with a rechargeable battery pack or connected to existing doorbell wiring. If her doorway is in a busy area you can adjust the motion sensor range so she’ll only get notifications if there is motion within the distance you’ve set. 

Watch her face light up this year when she gets this Colemen inflatable spa. 

As much as we may love them, tubs are expensive to install and take up so much space on patios that we question if they’re worth it. They are–they’re relaxing, soothing on joints, and massage aching muscles. And this Coleman tub is portable and can be deflated and stored when it’s out of season. 

The SaluSpa comes with a pump to inflate itself quickly and a powerful heater that can bring water up to 104 degrees Fahrenheit. It uses 114 air gets to get those iconic, massaging hot tub bubbles.

This bundle includes the tub, protective liner, pump, air jet system, chemical float, two filter cartridges, and a spa cover for when not in use. It perfect for someone who would love a hot tub without all the hassle of installing a permanent one.

Your mother deserves the best when caring for her hands and this Niegeloh 24-Karat Gold Plated Manicure Set. Many may feel that drugstore clippers are good enough but if you get her a quality manicure set, it will last a lifetime and she’ll be astounded at the difference.

Unlike cheap sets that rust and go dull, causing pain and possible infection, Niegeloh Solingen stainless steel has been tempered to keep a sharp edge longer and resist moisture damage and then plated in luxurious 24-karat gold.

They are handmade in Solinger, Germany, home of some of the best blade-crafters in the world. The set includes nail scissors, nail cleaner, cuticle scissors, cuticle pusher, nail nippers, nail file, and slanted tweezers. 

The tools come with a real leather case with organizing loops for easy storage and secure traveling.

While these gloves may look more like they’re meant for Halloween at first glance, rest assured that they make excellent gifts for gardeners.

These revolutionary gloves make it easy to dig, plant and rake without any additional hand tools. All eight “claws” have also been attached with environmentally friendly adhesive and their durable construction prevents broken fingernails and bruised fingertips. 

One size fits most, so grab a pair for yourself or your dad too while you’re at it! 

She’ll lovely this delicate and elegant bracelet from Amanda Rose.

The 14 karat gold chain is studded with beads of white gold and rose gold for a beautiful tri-tone look that works with all skin tones. The drawstring clasp makes it adjustable and fits up to a nine-inch wrist.

Check out this sachel purse from Dooney & Bourke. Chances are good that if you ask your mother if she has all the purses she needs, she going to say, “No.” Handbags, especially high-quality bags, are a practically guaranteed win come the holidays.

I managed to get my hands on a media sample of one of their crossbody bags and can say for sure that their construction is solid and meticulous with beautiful Italian leather trim and handles. 

It’s a little hard to tell what’s going on from the picture but the BestNest takes the classic window birdfeeder to the next level. 

The window birdfeeders you’re used to seeing hang by suction cups on the outside of the window so you can see birds right close up. The BestNest brings the birds into your home. 

It sits inside an open window just like a window fan and a platform surrounded curved clear windows sticks out into your home. This small nook is open to the outside but still entirely walled off to keep the outdoors out.

This design gives you so much more viewing space as you can see the birds feeding inside your home. There’s a little secure door on the top of the enclosure so you can drop birdseed onto the platform. (Or peanuts if your mom’s a squirrel fan.)

If they have a patio, your mom will love this tete-a-tete glider. 

This angled set of two glider chairs is connected by a shared end table and is a nice upgrade from a bench glider because they glide independently. She can still chat with her partner or friends and enjoy their company without needing to glide at the same pace. 

It’s made of real hardwood planks and steel construction for years of relaxing on. It’s meant for a covered patio so keep that mind if your mom lives in a wet climate. 

Upgrade her old wine rack to something stylish and modern with this gold geometric model from Buruis.

The rack holds seven bottles of wine easily and you could probably set two more on the divots up top if you had to. The honeycomb design is trendy and eye-catching. 

It comes in metallic gold, bronze, silver, black, and rose gold.

The Air Fryer is this year’s Instant Pot. If she hasn’t already bought one for herself, chances are she’d like one.

An air fryer is designed to get foods as crispy as a deep fat fryer without the deep fat part for healthier food that doesn’t necessarily taste healthy. It’s great for making fries, crispy chicken or breaded fish, and roasted veggies.

But it can also do more than just air fry,  it’s great for reheating, convection baking, and dehydrating to create your own veggie chips, kale chips, fruit leather, and jerky.

Plus, not only is deep frying worse for your health diet-wise, it’s also dangerous leading to serious burns and fires.

If your mother loves her margaritas, daiquiris, or other frozen drinks, check out this machine straight out of Margaritaville.

Making your own frozen drinks is such a hassle that we often don’t do it, but this machine does it for you. All she’ll need to do is load the Key West up with ice and the reservoir with the mixers of choice and she’s a button away from frozen drinks.

The Key West shaves ices for that cool, slushy consistency, and then automatically blends it with your drink mix so you get a pitcher of margaritas ready to pour. You can select serving sizes of one, two, or three drinks and the Key West does the rest. With this, your mom will be a real hit at the next party.

This Partu Mini HEPA Air Filter perfect for moms who work in an office or who travel often. It has a three-stage filter and At only 11.6 inches tall and 6.3 inches in diameter, it can easily fit in the corner of your desk or your luggage to help remove that hotel smell.

It also can double as a fragrance diffuser as there’s a small pad by the fan and if you add drops of essential oils to it, the air filtering through will pick up that lovely scent. Filters are inexpensive and are good for three to six months.

For the mom who could use a wireless speaker that actually doesn’t sound terrible, check out the new Pow Mo.

I was able to get my hands on a media sample of the Pow Mo and for its size, this speaker has some of the best sound quality I’ve heard come out of a wireless speaker that didn’t cost an arm and a leg. It has impressive volume and depth of sound. 

It’s easy to travel with as it’s collapsible so when flat it’s smaller than an eyeglass case and it accordions out for better sound when playing. It’s also magnetic so I keep mine on my fridge for music while I’m cooking. It’s water-resistant too so I don’t worry bringing it outside while I do yard work or while we’ve got a bonfire going.

Pow also has several sizes of cell phone case that are compatible with the Pow Mo if you wanted to make sure you didn’t leave the speaker behind wherever you’re going. For me, a speaker attached to my phone was too bulky but if you don’t tend to carry your phone in your pocket it might be handy.

I’ve had no issues pairing to my phone or computer with the Pow Mo and the battery life has been really impressive. Definitely, something I can personally recommend. 

If your mom loves getting her nails done up fancy but doesn’t have the artistic skills to do them herself, this nail art printer will blow her mind.

It’s seriously a machine that prints images onto your nails. Using special ink cartridges and their app, this WiFi-enabled printer will print photos or patterns of your choice onto your nails. She could print photos of anything or anyone that she wants onto her nails. If that something she’d get excited about, then this is a gift to consider.

No one’s ever sad to receive the gift of chocolate–especially when it’s quality like Godiva.

Indulge your mom’s sweet tooth with Godiva’s Truffle Cube Box filled with nine of their tastiest, most indulgent creations in milk and dark. The truffles have a variety of fillings like black currant, raspberry, and hazelnut. I find that Godiva is the best at capture that fresh and never artificial flavor of fruits.

The chocolates themselves have that luscious texture that melts to absolute perfection.

For the moms who collect birdhouses or simply love birdwatching, check out this castle with working dragon weathervane.

She’ll love the detail of the dormers, turrets, and ornamental windows. Despite it being so big, this is a single-occupancy birdhouse with only one true entrance which it states is for the safety of the hatchlings. There’s a hidden door in the back to make cleaning at the end of the season a breeze.

It doesn’t include a mounting post and pole but those can be purchased fairly cheaply.

Is a traditional firepit a little too rustic for your mom? Check out this gorgeous Akoya Modern Fire Table.

The 65-inch long table provides plenty of stylish surface area for entertaining as well as the fire feature with glass protective guard to keep hands from accidentally straying too close. 

It comes with your choice of color of fire reflective crystals: Caribbean Blue, Amber, Emerald Green, and High Desert.

The feature has an electric ignition for easy turn on and runs on a standard 20-pound propane tank. They also sell a side table that matches the table and hides the propane tank.

For the mom whose idea of a perfect night in includes getting comfy on the couch enjoying a huge burrito, there’s a gift that covers both: the tortilla blanket.

This soft, circular flannel blanket is printed to look just like a grilled flour tortilla. It’s comfy, not overly hot, and certainly a gift that will make her smile.

I like this brand in particular because the tortilla print is on both sides. any tortilla blankets are blank on one side so when you’re taking Instagram photos rolled up like a burrito (because everyone will) you have to be strategic to not show the blank white back. There’s no worry about that with this one. 

For extra fun, roll a Chipotle gift card up in the blanket and wrap the whole thing in aluminum foil to look just like a burrito. 

The Lightspeed Flex Form Camp Pad is a self-inflating pad that rolls up flat and expands into a three-inch mat. It really does inflate about 90 percent of the way all by itself and from there you can adjust how firm you want it by blowing into the valve a couple more times. It’s great for the mom who loves to camp, roughing it probably isn’t as fun as it used to be. 

As we get older, our body’s ability to put up with sleeping on the ground can start to run dry and if your mom enjoys camping, egg-crate style foam pads just don’t provide that much support. One way to go is the air-mattress route but they’re heavy and you need to either spend half your camping trip blowing them up or also haul around an air pump and the heavy batteries that go with it. 

The flexible material has four-way stretch and won’t spoil the forest’s nighttime silence with plasticky crinkling sounds. To deflate it, all you do is open both valves and start rolling. The pressure of folding it up will force the air out. It will keep your mom’s camping trip more comfortable and her pack easier to travel with.

If your mother is a tea-lover check out these neat Tea Drops.

Tea Drops are ground up tea that dissolves in hot water without having to deal with tea bags. They’re organic, fair trade, kosher, and create less waste than traditional tea bags. 

This 25-pack herbal tea sampler set is lightly sweetened and comes in the flavors Refreshing Citrus Ginger, Blueberry Acai, Rose Earl Grey, Sweet Peppermint, and Matcha Green. (Three are caffeinated and two are not.)

I had these recently at a friend’s house and it was a clever hosting drink as you can brew someone up a quick cup of tea quickly with no measuring, bags, or timers needed. 

This is a gift that will get folks talking because it can toast, fry, and brew all at the same time on the same machine. 

It’s definitely unique and will get a reaction as it is a little surprising but then the more you think about it the better it seems. It’s a great fit for someone with limited kitchen space or simply a mom who loves their gadgets. 

The Breakfast Station includes a four-cup coffee maker, toaster oven, and electric griddle. The electric griddle surface, for frying eggs, is removable for easy and quick cleaning.

It has several different modes so you can easily switch between, using the toaster oven and griddle separately or together. The coffee function has its own separate button. 

Alex and Ani are well-known for crafting jewelry “to empower and connect you.” 

This lovely expandable bracelet features their signature expandable wire bangle with an adjustable sliding clasp that allows for a customized fit. 

The highlight is the intricate main charm that’s engraved with the peony. This elegant flower is also known as the queen of the garden and symbolically encompasses the maternal traits of healing, love’s blessing, and bravery.

This bracelet also comes in gold for $54.99. 

Surprise her this year with a Phillip Stein Watch that is stylish, high-class, and designed to reduce her stress-levels using a built-in disc with their “Natural Frequency Technology.” 

The discs found on the bottom of all Philip Stein watches are meant to encourage alpha wave brain activity by channeling the natural frequencies of the earth to reduce stress and boost focus. How exactly it achieves this, I can’t say for certain as their technology is stated to be proprietary.

What I can say is that the brand has a cult following of folks who swear by it–and even if it’s a placebo effect, I’ll take a placebo that makes me feel less stressed any day of the week. 

This particular woman’s piece is a Japanese quartz movement watch with 16 diamond studs, stainless steel band, and mother of pearl face. The subdial for the second hand is sunken for a unique layered effect. It looks stunning and Philip Stein watches are surprisingly lightweight.

She’ll love the way it looks, the way it works, and the fact that you were thinking about her health and wellbeing.

If your mom taught you the difference between dicing and chopping, or just plain loves to cook, this Bamboo Cutting Board with Poem will make an excellent Christmas pick. 

The sweet poem is engraved within the shape of a heart in the center on one side of the board and reads, “So much of me is made from what I learned from you. You’ll always be with me like a handprint on my heart. I love you.”

While you may not be the craftiest, you can still give mom a handmade item that’s sophisticated and charming too. 

Each pear is individually sculpted, stamped, painted and varnished directly by the artist in Colorado. She doesn’t use a mold, so no two are ever exactly the same, which makes them decor and one-of-a-kind art pieces too.

If your mom loves to have her nails done, she’ll love playing with this Born Pretty Nail Stamping Starter Set.

Nail stamping is a way to render complex images onto your nails using nail polish instead of ink. The plates can be reused indefinitely so unlike nail stickers or wraps, these stamping plates can be used over and over for years. 

Nail stamping manicures look like the type of thing you’d have to go to the nail salon for so your mom will have the fun of telling her friends and coworkers that she did her nails herself. It’s a fun way to be creative and show off your art on your fingertips.

I’m a nail person, through and through, and I’ve bought myself a lot of Born Pretty stamping supplies over the years. I love their plates and use their nail stamping polish all the time to create fun manicures.
