Has your mom politely smiled at every gift you’ve given her since 2012, only to put it in a closet on December 26, never to be seen again? Ouch! First of all, we have a support group you can join. Secondly, it’s time to break the streak of mediocre presents! We’ve found the best Christmas gifts for Mom that the matriarch herself would approve of. It wasn’t easy, but we felt the softest blankets, brewed the most flavorful teas, and shuffled around the house in the most orthopedically sound slippers — all to find your mom the perfect gift.

Our commitment to simplifying your gift-shopping experience led us to curate this collection of the best Christmas gifts for moms in 2024. Drawing on our expertise in the art of gift-giving, we’ve taken the guesswork out of the equation to ensure your mother receives a heartfelt and cherished present. Our gift selections include top-sellers with stellar reviews, upgraded classic gifts that have won over countless moms (backed by glowing customer ratings), and unexpected yet delightful wildcard options (that we’ve bought and loved), which will leave your mom wondering how she ever lived without them. Plus, we’ve included some budget-friendly options too.

But before you drop big money to spoil Mom, there are some things to consider. For instance, think beyond the basics and find something that truly resonates with her unique tastes and interests. Consider her hobbies, routines, and any recent mentions of items she wishes she had. Pay attention to details like quality, practicality, and style—your mom likely has high standards and values gifts that blend function with a touch of luxury. It can also be helpful to consider gifts that elevate her daily experiences, whether it’s a cozy blanket, gourmet treats, or a gadget that simplifies her day.

From cozy essentials that pamper her to green-thumb necessities for the gardening enthusiast and impressive tech innovations, our gift guide offers a wide array of choices to surprise and delight every mother in your life.

This Christmas gift for Mom will spare her multiple trips to the microwave. This mug warmer tops our list since it’s easy to use, features three heat settings, and automatically shuts off after four hours for your safety. Plus, it comes in multiple colors to match her style.

If Mom can never find the remote or needs a place to rest her morning coffee as she watches the news, this couch cup holder tray will win you major points.

This 100% Washable Silk Beauty Sleep Set makes an exceptional Christmas gift for your mom because of its luxurious comfort and beauty benefits. It includes a silk pillowcase, a sleep mask, and two silk scrunchies, all crafted from high-quality mulberry silk that your skin and hair will appreciate.

And if you have no idea, why silk? The pillowcase helps maintain hydrated skin, reduces fine lines, and prevents hair frizz, while the sleep mask blocks out light for a more restful night. The silk scrunchies prevent creases and tangles, keeping hair smooth and stylish. All of it will also come nicely packaged so mom will feel like she’s waking up on Christmas morning to a little slice of luxury.

Before you crucify us for recommending a drinking vessel that hasn’t gone viral (yet), The Müv mug stands out from competitors (ahem, Owala, and Stanley) because of its unique OctaLock Thread System. This coffee mug has a hassle-free twist-on lid with eight sipping positions for Mom’s convenience. Unlike others, the Müv incorporates a MagFlip magnetic closure for effortless sipping and a 100% leakproof seal. You can use it for coffee, tea, carbonated drinks, and good old H2O.

While both the Owala and Stanley jugs are known for durability and insulation, the Müv enhances portability with a customizable silicone sleeve and comfort grip handle that also protects it against scratches and dings. Plus, its BevGuard insulation will ensure Mom’s drink stays hot or cold for longer.

The Compartes Traditional Chocolate Truffles Gift Box includes a limited-edition selection of 30 handcrafted holiday truffles in unique flavors, such as Coconut Ginger, Chai Winter Tea, Pear Cardamom, and Mango Rose. Before you reach for a box of something else, we should mention that we love Compartes because the brand offers artisanal chocolates with imaginative and globally inspired flavors.

If your mom is well-traveled, this chocolate is for her! Compartes is a sophisticated choice that will impress Mom.

This oversized brown suede shopper tote is the ultimate gift for the trendsetter mom who loves staying on top of the latest styles. With suede slouch bags currently taking over social media, this bag taps right into the latest trend, combining luxe, soft-grain suede with a chic, relaxed silhouette. Handcrafted with attention to detail, it’s tumbled for 48 hours to bring out its natural texture and is spacious enough to carry essentials like a water bottle, gym clothes, and more. Collapsible sides and a convenient dog clip closure that doubles as a key fob also add a nice touch.

We loved the idea of Nodpod's original weighted eye mask, but felt that the material caused a little bit of eye irritation throughout the night. When the brand launched a silk material, we couldn't wait to try it out. It's not your conventional eye mask, but if your mom could use some help sleeping at night, this product is perfect for blocking out light and soothing anxiety.

These simple beaded bracelets are perfect for daily reminders and inspiration, no matter what Mom might need. We're partial to "Strength," because everyone can use a little bit of that throughout their day. The brand has tons of cute options, from "You Got This" to "Badass" to "Good Vibes."

If your mom loves getting her steps in during the day, then these walking shoes are the perfect Christmas gift. They offer lots of cushioning, so she'll feel supported, and they're lightweight, too. Plus, we love that the style works well with outfits outside of athleisure. They're one of our favorite walking shoes for travel!

Birkenstock makes so many great slides, and this slipper is no exception. We like how it's lined on the inside but offers a thick sole for optimal support. They're great for people with high arches, so take note if your Mom has ever complained about that.

This luxurious body oil will make Mom feel like she's having an at-home spa day. It's formulated with hyaluronic acid to keep her skin feeling soft and hydrated and is free of harmful ingredients like sulfates and parabens. We also love the light citrusy scent —it also gives it a refreshing feel.

You know your mom will never forget your birthday, but it can't hurt to remind her regularly of your birth month. This gorgeous pendant necklace from Kate Space New York features a heart charm in the birthstone of your choice. Some reviewers note that the chain is a little small, so take note that it's not a long necklace.

You’re not seeing things; we are really suggesting you give your nostalgic momma this Rainbow Brite doll that’s basically a relic from her childhood. The Loyal Subjects Rainbow Brite 12-Inch Doll brings back the beloved cartoon character for its 40th anniversary. Mom can even show this doll with its vibrant yarn hair and colorful clothing to her grandkids if she’s got ’em. Or, she can keep it safely in its charming, rainbow-accented gift box for eternity. It also comes with a sticker sheet of classic Rainbow Brite stickers.

This award-winning hair perfume is a revelation. If you (or Mom) didn’t even know there are fragrances formulated specifically for hair, this product from Crown Affair will introduce you to the beauty practice in the most luxe way. The Crown Affair Hair Fragrance in its Signature Scent is gentle and hydrating, adding a refreshing scent that blends citrus and floral notes. It features yuzu, bergamot, and lemongrass that can work for both men and women. The formula also includes nourishing glycerin and aloe leaf extract to add shine and reduce dryness. It's about time Mom elevated her hair routine!

Let Mom explore the Land of Oz in a whole new way. For fans of Wicked who’ve always wanted to “defy gravity,” Wicked The Game by Spin Master brings the magic of Oz to your family game nights. Mom can team up with you as Elphaba and Glinda, collecting “thrillifying” magic to advance through your storybook and “change for good.” In this cooperative strategy game, Mom and you will need to work together to reach your “happily ever after” before the Wizard’s balloon track fills up.
