Speak as A Mom myself, I know the best gift you can give your mom is you. Whether you plug in a hybrid or hop on a cheap e-bike, you should meet her if you can (though, if you think air travel is scary, we’ll meet her). If you want to get her a gift, start thinking about it now because Mother’s Day is coming up on May 12th. Still struggling with creativity? We have many gift recommendations below.
Your mom may be the person who loves you the most in the world, but she probably has a lot of other things to do, like running errands, working out, or hanging out with friends. I asked other WIRED parents about their favorite options. These are our top gift ideas to help moms work from home, annotate books, or immerse themselves in the world of gaming in their free time. While you’re reading, check out our many other buying guides , like the best gift ideas for new parents , the best podcasts for kids , or the best tablets for kids .
Update April 2024: We’ve made major changes to this guide, removing older picks and replacing them with newer picks, including Creative Aurvana 2, Tom Bihn Nomad Tote, and more.
