Best Gifts for Moms

Whether her taste is sentimental or sensible, your mom (or grandmother, stepmother, or mom-in-law) will appreciate these presents—all of which make perfect gifts for Mother’s Day. If she skews toward the former, personalized gifts like a custom photo book (complete with her favorite pictures, of course), monogrammed tote bag, or home decor featuring her family’s birth flowers should do the trick. For the latter, hand cream that soothes even the most chapped skin, a cashmere sweater, or a Masterclass experience will feel practical yet special. When in doubt, a neat manual espresso maker and reading accessories are lovely gifts for just about any mom.

Take your pick from a silk pajama set, cuddly cotton throw blanket (a personal favorite of this writer), or gift box of botanical body care goodies—any of these will make a wonderfully relaxing gift for your significant other.

Best Gifts for Sisters

Of course these gifts will make your sister happy—but, more importantly, they’ll remind her that you’re the coolest sibling. Consider cute knickknacks like a disco ball globe or stylish accessories like an outdoorsy belt bag, pop-art makeup bag, and Y2K-esque Uggs. Or go for a pair of Airpods or sleek playing cards to ensure she has plenty of entertainment (when she isn’t hanging out with you, that is).

And if they love their pup as much as they love whipping up new dishes, a custom, dog-patterned oven mitt makes a great gift .
