Mother’s Day and its subsequent shopping for Mother’s Day gifts snuck up on me this year. It’s somehow only days away, with May 10 just around the corner, putting the pressure on hitting checkout on some kind of gift idea. Moms can be hard to shop for because they’re so good at gift giving, and the pressure is on to match their prowess. Luckily, as both a mom and a gift-obsessed writer here at WIRED, I’ve got plenty of ideas for Mother’s Day gifts you can use for your mom (or your mother-in-law, or the mother of your children, or just a mom in your life you love).

This guide has a little of everything, whether your mother is a major reader like mine is or is hoping for some thoughtful, personalized jewelry like I am. Maybe she’s looking for new workout gear, or you want to get her a red light mask to help her skin glow. No matter what she wants, or if you have no idea what she wants, this guide has ideas for you. Need more? Check out our other gift guides for everyone from Lego lovers to outdoorsy people.

Updated May 2026: I've added all new gifts to this guide for this year's Mother's Day.

The Bouqs Co.

Lego Botanicals Gift Set

$114 The Bouqs Co. (Sunflowers)

$124 The Bouqs Co. (Petite Sunny)

$159 The Bouqs Co. (Tulip)

Here at WIRED, we’re big Lego fans. My husband and I are obsessed with the botanicals line, and buy ourselves a new set as a Valentine’s Day gift every year. It’s no surprise then that I was thrilled about Bouqs’ new partnership with Lego that lets you order both a bouquet of real flowers that comes with a set of Lego botanicals that match. You can choose between three different sets: the Sunflowers Gift Set ($114), the Petite Sunny Bouquet Set ($124), and Tulip Bouquet Gift Set ($159). I got the Petite Sunny set, and I loved the colorful pastels in both the real flowers and the Lego set. That set in particular is a really close match, but if I were shopping for my mom, I know tulips are her favorite flower, so I'd get those. No matter which set you choose, buying these gives both fresh flowers for the holiday, an activity to do at home, and then a set of (Lego) flowers that can last a lifetime.

Gorjana

Necklaces

$65 Gorjana (Wilshire Adjustable Necklace)

$68 Gorjana (Finley Pearl Row Necklace)

$48 Gorjana (Vintage Heart Alphabet Charm)

Top of my list this Mother’s Day was a new necklace. I love wearing necklaces with homages to my son, and my new favorite is the combination of the Gorjana Wilshire Adjustable Necklace ($65) with a heart charm ($48) that has my son’s initial on it. The Wilshire is also adorable on its own, with two interlocking circles at its base, creating a lovely, subtle symbol of motherhood. I’ve had a lot of Gorjana jewelry before and even made a charm bracelet as a gift there last year, so there’s a ton of fun options no matter what your mom’s style is. I also really like the Finley Pearl Row Necklace ($68) if she's a pearl fan, or you're stumped on a safe option for your mother-in-law. I actually wear my Finley layered with the Wilshire, which go really nicely together as a set.

CurrentBody

LED Face Mask Series 2

$470 CurrentBody

After years of sleep deprivation, I don’t know a mom who wouldn’t want a gadget that gives her some glow back. A great LED face mask has consistently helped my skin glow more and recover from acne and scarring faster. The CurrentBody LED Face Mask Series 2 is our all-time favorite pick here on the WIRED team after we’ve tested many a mask. It packs three wavelengths—red (633 nanometers), near-infrared (830 nanometers), and deep near-infrared (1072 nanometers)—with 236 LED lights to blast those wavelengths at your skin. The soft, flexible mask is comfortable for daily sessions, and the straps make it easy to secure around your head and walk around the house without it falling off. The attached remote has a little clip too to clip it to your outfit. It's a great mask that you can't go wrong with.
