We Test Thousands of Products, and These 10 Will Make the Best Mother’s Day Gifts

Here’s to the women who made us who we are today — our moms.

And while it’s hard to wrap our gratitude into a single Mother’s Day gift, there are a lot of practical items that can make women’s lives a little easier and luxurious goodies to pamper them with. So we’re spilling on our absolute favorite products, from the thousands we’ve tried, that would make fabulous Mother’s Day gifts.

We have gifts for every mother-figure in your life, including soft silky sheets, comfortable slides, and blow dryer brushes, and prices start at just $15.

If you’re feeling extra generous this Mother’s Day, we suggest this skincare hack used by Hollywood beauty experts and our own PEOPLE team. One of our editors and her mom tried the Solawave Wand for two weeks and both were shocked at how well it faded dark spots. It uses facial massaging and red light therapy to target aging-related skin concerns. Shop the wand as part of this Amazon bundle with the activating serum to pamper your mom.

Sometimes a gift solves the smallest but most annoying problems — like chipped nails. That’s a thing of the past with PaintLab Press-On Nails. They’re easy to apply and the adhesive held them in place on our tester’s nails for several weeks, despite regular hand-washing.

Oprah once listed this travel jewelry organizer as one of her Favorite Things, and for the mom who’s always booking a trip somewhere, this is a great gift to make sure her jewelry stays secure during travel. Our team appreciated the built-in dividers, which kept jewelry organized and made it easier to see every piece. The case is compact, yet, during our test, it held rings, necklaces, earrings, and a chunky bracelet.

Vanilla is such a calming fragrance, so the Lavanila perfume is ideal for someone who needs to carry that sense of calm with them throughout the day. It’s a natural and gentle formula, which is a bonus for those with sensitive skin. -

Our team loved how long the scent lingered on skin compared to others we tried.

If you want to give your mom time back, there’s no better gift than the iRobot Roomba 694 robot vacuum. This little vacuum takes a boring chore and makes it a seamless automated process. When we compared 44 of the best robot vacuums, we were continually impressed with the powerful suction, smart capabilities, and overall maneuverability of this machine.

If you don’t have $600 lying around to buy a Dyson AirWrap, the L’ange Blow Dryer Brush is a more affordable alternative. This hot brush cut our tester’s drying time by 15 minutes, tamed frizz, and created a stunning blowout.

Comfortable footwear is not to be overlooked in the gifting category. For moms who are on their feet all day (think nurses, teachers, and those with young children), this Chaco slide will be a welcome addition to their closet. When we wore them, they provided a ton of support and were adjustable for a comfortable fit.

In keeping with spa-esque gifts, this Tula moisturizer was a tester favorite for its nourishing, lightweight formula. It drenches the skin with ingredients that hydrate and target anti-aging concerns like fine lines. We loved how it felt on our skin, since it didn’t leave any greasy residue.

If your mama loves to cook, this 15-piece cookware set is an amazing gift (and for under $70). The nonstick material is lightweight and made for easy cleanup during our kitchen tests. Plus, the set comes with utensils for added convenience.

As the temperatures rise, perhaps the best gift is a full night’s sleep in silky, cooling sheets like this set from Lanest. We were so impressed with the luxurious material given the low price. The construction seemed solid and durable, plus, they actually helped regulate body temperature at night.
