From navigating our tantrums as toddlers to helping us through personal and professional heartbreaks as adults, is there anything the moms in our lives don’t do for us? That’s why it’s important to get your mom (or favorite maternal figure) a gift that’s significantly more inspired than your average paperweight or funny calendar this holiday season. We’ve found the best gifts for moms that you won’t find repurposed for a work White Elephant or laid to rest in some drawer in your childhood home. No, we’re highlighting only the cream of the crop from brands like Jenni Kayne, Lululemon, and Caraway. Uncover covetable sweaters, cozy slippers from luxury brands, thoughtful gifts that fall under the $100 mark, and personalized memorabilia for sentimental mothers. We didn’t forget about the picky moms out there, either, picking out practical items they’ll appreciate and use for years to come, like gardening tools for the green-fingered or lavish cookware to elevate all their dinner parties.
