Mother's Day is right around the corner. Surprise Mom (or any special mother figure) with a gift that shows how much you care.
From a soothing acupressure pillow to a LEGO orchid bouquet she can build herself, we've rounded up a selection of sentimental gifts that will bring a smile to her face.
Cordless Mushroom Lamp
Mom's home is her sanctuary, so give her something to keep it feeling that way. For the home decor-obsessed mom, shop design-forward pieces that elevate her space, like a sleek lamp and a hammered brass ring bowl. If she prefers a more natural touch, try a botanical print that captures her favourite garden spot or a framed photograph of her kids.
For the mom who loves a good read, a new and improved Kindle is easier on the eyes and can hold up to 10 weeks of books. And if she's always on the go, a portable wine cooler keeps her favourite bottles cold without her having to leave the house.
For the self-care-minded mom, treat her to a beauty case or this silk sleep mask that's cool and comfortable on the skin. Or for the achy-all-the-time mom, she'll love this acupressure pillow that has the same soothing effect as an acupuncture session. Plus, it helps with back pain.
Linen Tablecloths
For the home decor lover, a linen tablecloth is one of our top unique mother's day gift ideas. Made from the resilient flax plant, this eco-friendly fabric wicks away moisture and dries out faster than cotton, which helps prevent the buildup of bacteria. It's also a great choice for allergy sufferers, as it doesn't harbour dust mites and other pesky allergens. Linen also gets softer with each wash and is highly durable, so it will last for years to come.
Whether she's an avid tennis player or just wants to try her hand at pickleball, this top-rated set of paddles will help her perfect her game. Personalise this piece with a monogram and her favourite colour to make it even more special.
Mom will love feeling pampered with this luxurious silk robe, which Glamour editors give rave reviews for its buttery-soft feel and ability to smooth hair and keep skin clear. She'll also adore this soothing set, that includes two hand creams, a cuticle cream, and cotton gloves.
Silicone Cooking Utensils
If your mom loves to cook, a set of silicone kitchen utensils will be a welcome addition to her collection. These utensils are heat-resistant, and unlike metal ones, they won't scratch ceramic nonstick cookware. Plus, the heads are flexible and easy to clean. This set includes a ladle that's great for soups, a spoon with an indentation so it sits on the edge of a pan and won't drip, and spatulas with paintbrush-style wooden handles for an ergonomic angled grip.
The best Mother's Day gifts are those that show her just how much you love and appreciate her. Whether it's a luxe beauty case from sustainably sourced leather or a bird feeder that lets her connect to her favourite feathered friends, these unique picks will make her feel loved and appreciated all year long.

Floral Bouquet
If the home decor lover in your life is looking to upgrade her tablescape, consider a beautiful floral arrangement that'll stay fresh and lovely for months. You can get the flowers shipped straight to her door with a hydration pack to ensure they don't dry out in transit.
If she's into self-care but doesn't want to shell out for a spa treatment, give her a high-tech foot massager or this easy-to-use photo frame she can use to show off all of her favourite moments. You can also help her take her bird-watching game to the next level with this nifty camera that's a top pick in our testing and research.
She'll love this trinket plate that doubles as a catch-all for small jewellery, pins, and other odds and ends. You can even add a custom monogram to make it extra special. If she's always on the go, she'll appreciate this travel-friendly beauty case from Glamour reader-favorite brand Cuyana. It has just enough room to hold her favourite scented products, including body wash, perfume, and hand cream in four of the brand's best-selling scents.
Photo Frame
Mothers love home decor, so this heartfelt gift idea is sure to adorn their walls with family memories. Engrave this timeless treasure with your family's names, then fill it with precious photos. Mom will adore this custom-crafted wooden frame, one of our favourite unique mother's day gifts for home decor lovers.
Make her smile this Mother's Day with a bouquet of pictures from the ones who love her most. Print enlarged family photos on cardstock, then cut the heads from each photo to create flower-like blooms that she can place in clear glass planters or vases.
For a more durable version, give old frames a fuzzy refresh with this easy craft project. Use a hot glue gun to affix rows of pom-pom trim along the inside edges of each frame, slightly overlapping each row as you go.
If flowers are too sappy, consider a subscription to a flower delivery service like UrbanStems, which delivers gorgeous arrangements that she can enjoy all year. Or, surprise her with this aromatherapy shower head from Sprig that infuses essential oil blends to uplift, relax, or energise her while she soaks.
