There's a lot of pressure on us all when it comes to Mother's Day gift ideas. (FYI: Mother's Day is Sunday, May 14, 2023.) You want to find something she'll use all the time, but it can't be strictly utilitarian. It should also have a sentimental spin. But overthinking it only makes the whole process harder—so don't!

We've done the thinking for you: Our editors have selected dozens of unique gifts for women that appeal to all sorts of moms, whether you're shopping for your mom, grandmother, wife, or friend. Some are just right for gardeners or readers, others are just right for those techies out there, and even more are simply sweet and will make just about any mama's Mother's Day.

Our recommendation? Put your favorites in your shopping cart, wait for the gifts to show up on your doorstep, wrap them in a pretty bow, and watch as Mom opens with awe. (You can thank us later.)

If your mom's a plant parent, too, indulge her green thumb with a fresh new baby delivered every month, potted and ready to display in one of several colors of pots you can choose from. And if you're getting a Mother's Day gift for a mom who's a pet parent, too, you can select a pet-friendly plant subscription to keep both pets and plants thriving.

Home appliances sometimes get a bad rap as a gift, but a Roomba—which can help keep floors clean and encourage her to put her feet up—might be an exception. This version self empties the dirt and pet hair into a vacuum bag for easy cleanup (no messing around with a pan of dust and dirt), and its accompanying app lets you smart map the house and set a schedule for cleaning.
