We found the 21 best mother’s day gifts for moms stuck at home. And then, we rounded up some experts to discuss other ways to make this day memorable and enjoyable for your mom.

If your mom needs additional storage options, consider storage chests and trunks, since they’re both stylish and practical. This Beautify Gray Vintage Metal Trunk Set with Rose Gold Handles can certainly beautify any space. It’s pretty enough to be used as a bedroom night stand or placed in the living room or a hallway. The two trunks are made of robust steel with a gray finish, and rose gold clasps and handles. The small trunk is 20.4”L x 10.2”W x 7.8”H, and the large trunk is 23.6”L x 14.1”W x 9.4”H.
Some items are stylish and functional, like this Designstyles Acrylic Folding Tray Table. Made of crystal-clear acrylic, the serving table looks like glass, but fortunately, the durable material is lightweight and resists scratches and cracks. It can also be wiped clean with a cloth or paper towel, and has side handles for easy transport. When not in use, the tray table is foldable – although another option is to use it as a display table to showcase one of your collections.
If your mother is like most moms, she’s probably lost jewelry that was “last seen” on top of a dresser or table. This Kendal Leather Jewelry Box provides the perfect solution to safely store and organize all of her favorite pieces. The sturdy box has a PU leather finish, and the interior has been hand-lined in suede. There are 5 removable drawers (and one stationary drawer) of varying sizes to hold earrings, rings, bracelets, and watches. The 2 swing out cabinets on the side are designed to hold necklaces, and the top lid includes a beveled glass mirror. The case also has metal drawer pulls and snaps, and a handle for easy transport. The jewelry box’s dimensions are 12.75”H x 12”L x 6.70”W, and there are three colors to choose from: black, brown, and white.
Vinyl lovers will thoroughly enjoy listening to their favorite songs on vinyl records. This Fluance RT81 Vinyl Turntable provides a slice of nostalgia, and a superb sound. I received one to test and honestly, two of my favorite features are the dust cover that keeps everything safe from dust, and the fact that I can plan records with the cover closed. The record player also includes an Audio Technica cartridge, and a balanced tonearm and stylus. The cabinet is made of MDF, with a piano black finish – although it’s also available in a walnut finish. The rubber slip mat ensures there are no unwanted vibrations.
Give the gift of clean air with this Elechomes EP1236 Pro Series Air Purifier (or keep it for yourself!). It has a true HEPA filter to capture dust, pollen, cigarette smoke, pet dander, and several other airborne particles. Since the air purifier covers 280 ft, it can be used in a variety of rooms, ranging from the bedroom to the kitchen to the home office. The smart air quality sensor produces a green light when the air quality is good, a yellow light for moderate air quality, and a red light to indicate the air quality is bad. There are three fan speeds, and as I tested the sample I received, I discovered that the sleep mode is whisper quiet.
Social distancing may make it difficult to get a pedicure, but you can still take care of your feet with the Maxkare Food Spa Bath/Massager. It heats, vibrates, and bubbles (either separately or all at once) and has an intelligent temperature control. This allows you to set the desired temperature, which the massager will heat to and then hold – so the water never gets cold. There are 4 removable massaging rollers and also acu-nodes that apply pressure to the soles of your feet. Another great feature is the removable case inside the tub that can be used to hold Epsom salt or other bath salts, etc.
If your mom loves rose gold, Satechi has a variety of rose gold devices and peripherals that would make neat gifts. The aluminum Bluetooth Wireless Headphones have a range of up to 33 feet, and a rechargeable battery with up to 16 hours of playback time (18 hours when talking). When not in use, the headphones can be conveniently and safely stored on a USB 3.0 headphone stand. The stand can also be used to connect USB devices, and there’s a hook on the back of the stand to organize and store cables.
Mom can also expand her laptop ports with a Type-C Pass Through USB Hub with USB-C Charging Port, which has an easy setup that doesn’t require software or drivers. Another charging option is this Wireless Charger, which is sleek, round, and fast-charging. The rose gold M1 Wireless Mouse can connect to mom’s Bluetooth-enabled laptop, tablet, or computer, and has a slight curve to fit in the palm of her hand.
The Bluetooth Keyboard with Numeric Keypad is also wireless, and has a USB-C rechargeable port. Mom can also rest her tablet on this R1 Multi-Angle Foldable Tablet Stand, which holds tablets from 4” to 13” and also holds smartphones. It has a 270-degree mount, and can be used in portrait or landscape orientation.
If that’s too much rose gold, most of the Satechi items above are also available in space gray, gold, silver, and black.
When mom wants some time away from everyone, this LTLCBB 10-Piece Garden Tools Set provides everything she needs to spend quality time alone while gardening. It includes the following: large shovel, small shovel, rake, pruning line, fork, garden shears, root removal tool, garden gloves, and watering can. In addition, the Oxford cloth bag is a practical tote with a large interior, and pockets on the outside. The tools are lightweight and have an ergonomic design, so mom’s hands won’t get tired when planting, digging, etc. Also, all of the tools are durable, wear-resistant, and rust-proof.
Social distancing has made photos and videos more important than ever, but being at home doesn’t mean missing out on the action. The Nixplay Smart Digital Picture Frame receives images via the Nixplay app for iOS and Android, or by using email, Facebook, Instagram, Dropbox, Verizon Cloud, Amazon Alexa, and Google Photos. The digital picture frame has a 1200×800 HD IPS display with a 16:10 aspect ratio, and the picture frame automatically adjusts itself when it is in landscape or portrait mode. The model shown above is the 10.1” frame, but it’s also available in smaller and larger sizes, as well as different frames finishes.
She’ll fill it up with pictures of her and her friends, and maybe if you’re lucky, a picture or two of her with her family.
Moms who have craft hobbies, like sewing, might enjoy this Saunder Portable Storage Sewing/Craft Cart. This drop leaf craft and sewing table can provide plenty of extra space behind the roll-open door. There are two storage bins and a hidden shelf that houses the sewing machine. The shelves are adjustable, and the top of the cart is a melamine surface that resists heat, stains, and scratches. When closed, the cart looks like a fashionable storage cabinet that would fit well in any room. However, the easy-roll casters allow it to be moved as desired.
This Bougie Bath Handmade Spa Gift Set includes not one, but three different handmade bath sets. Each set includes a bath bomb to leave your mom’s skin soft and moisturized, and it won’t leave a bathtub ring. Also included are facial sponges made of 100% natural cellulose. Plus, the soy candles contain essential oil to create a calming experience.
These are the 3 sets:

Who doesn’t like silky-smooth, hotel-like luxury? That’s one of the crucial elements in recreating a 5-star hotel experience at home, and these Sleepletics Celliant Performance Breathable Bed Sheets can help to achieve that effect. The sheets have a Celliant material that regulates body temperature and fosters better localized circulation. This helps to promote restful sleep – and the Celliant is permanent, so there’s no concern about about washing it out over time. I received a sample to review and was glad to discover that the sheets are also wrinkle- and shrink-resistant. Each sheet set includes a flat sheet, a fitted sheet, and 2 pillowcases (although twin sizes have 1 pillowcase). Sizes range from twin and full to queen 12” and queen 15”, in addition to king 12”, king 15”, and California king 15”. Color options include tan, blue, chalk, and light gray.
Your mom can relax in this Monarch Plush Lined Microfiber Spa Robe.

Designed for luxury hotels, the robe also has a durable peached microfiber outer shell. It has two patch pockets, a breast pocket, and a hanger loop for putting it on the back of the bathroom door. In addition, the robe has double belt loops to provide adjustable belt heights, ensuring it will fit nearly any body type. Sizes range from small to xx-large. In addition to white, it’s also available in the following color options with a white trim: periwinkle, natural, and pink.
When Mom leaves the house to run errands, she can do it in style with this Solo New York Ladies Tote/Backpack. In addition to a fully-padded 15.6” laptop compartment, it also has an interior organizer section for hand sanitizers, wet wipes, extra masks, etc. There’s also enough room for a book, a small umbrella, a phone, and a few other items. This versatile bag can be used as a tote, but it also has padded shoulder straps if your mom wants to use it as a backpack.

If your mom drinks wine and has a good sense of humor, this Gelid Coolers Stemless Wine Glass is a unique gift. The imprint reads, “I do YOGA, just kidding . . . I drink wine in yoga pants.” It’s a 15 ounce wing glass, and the imprint is permanent, so it won’t fade. The glass is packaged securely in a gift box, to avoid breakage. GelidCoolers also offers other imprints, for example one glass reads, “Wine, because punching people in the face is illegal,” and another glass reads, “I’m not slurring my words, I’m speaking in cursive.”
Mom can spend hours relaxing in a freestanding hammock, and you don’t need two trees to create this soothing experience.
