77 Unique Mother’s Day Gifts for Every Type of Mom (2024)

Granted, mothers can be notoriously hard to shop for, especially when they claim they already have everything. While there's nothing wrong with giving your mom something practical, consider something a little more meaningful this year: a personalized piece of jewelry (or art!), a book that celebrates the special bond between mothers and daughters, a gourmet treat for your favorite foodie, or even an entire Meyer lemon tree if she's got a green thumb. If your mom is more matter-of-fact than mushy, you might do better with a useful item (think cozy slippers or a dreamy eye mask).

No matter how many great ideas you have for a unique Mother's Day gift—breakfast in bed, a scenic stroll, a quiet staycation, or even a virtual celebration—it's always nice to treat mom to a thoughtful present you know she'll love.
