If there's one thing I'm passionate about as a shopping editor, it's the fact that moms are given so many robes/candles/other generic gift ideas every year. And if those are her favorite things in the world, awesome. But chances are that she has some niche interest or need, and with a little critical thinking (or help from your friendly neighborhood shopping editor!) you can pick out a Christmas gift for Mom that she's truly obsessed with.
We're less than 25 days away from Christmas at this point, folks, so it's time to get thinking. Has she been dropping hints about anything she's been eyeing recently? If so, use those as a jumping-off point. But if you don't have a good sense of what she needs ("I don't need anything, honey!"), here's a little guidance.
The best gifts for mom at a glance:
From cute designer bags and luxury gifts to TikTok-beloved presents and everything in between, you'll find all the best Christmas gifts for moms ahead.

A set of fancy pajamas is the ultimate little luxury. We’re big fans of this set from the brand Lake because they’re supremely soft yet breathable. Plus, they’re made in a loose, relaxed fit that’s so comfy. Grab them in one of the many prints for mom.
The day your mom was born is, like, the most important day in history! (You wouldn’t exist without it!) So commemorate that special date with this custom book from The New York Times that compiles front page covers of the paper from every single one of her birthdays!
I have a feeling your mom will be obsessed with this puffer. The cropped silhouette makes this the perfect outerwear piece to wear all winter long.
Is her entire personality trait playing tennis? If so, first of all, she has taste. Second, she'll love this lululemon tote for carrying all her court essentials.
She deserves all the shut eye she can get, so let her sleep peacefully with this weighted mask. It’s like a giant hug for the eyes, so she can doze off with ease.
Gorjana has made a name for itself with really freaking cute jewelry that won't break the bank, and this 18k gold plated pendant is no exception. Don't be surprised if Mom starts wearing this every day.
She can now display a never-ending montage of her favorite photos (probably of you) by simply connecting her phone.
This best-selling set was named one of Oprah’s Favorite Things in 2024—and for good reason. Oprah herself called it “the best for lounging around” thanks to the plush, cozy material and relaxed fit, so it already has her stamp of approval! Mom can wear it around the house while still looking (and feeling) put together.
She can grow fresh herbs or beautiful flowers all year long with this smart garden, complete with automatic watering and sunlight. Caring for plants just got soooo much easier.
Everyone's favorite sunrise alarm and sound machine just got a pretty pink makeover, right on time for Mother's Day! Any mom who's been trying to get better sleep will appreciate this thoughtful device.
Okay, I know getting Mom a robe is a little cliche, but this is no ordinary robe. It's extremely chic and non-basic. And one reviewer wrote that "it's even better than similar robes I’ve experienced at luxury hotels," which is a pretty rave review.
I've used this tableware set from Our Place for the past few years, and it's truly wild how they make everything you eat look delicious and professional. Seriously, they're pretty much straight out of a chef's kitchen, and those bowl-plates? Game changer.
An entire library at her fingertips? Say no more. This Kindle boasts SIX WEEKS (!!!) of battery life and weighs less than 6 oz, making reading anywhere and everywhere a breeze.
It’s basically a scientific fact that gifts for moms and cashmere are synonymous. Because who wouldn’t want a soft sweater?!
Is it just us or is every mom obsessed with taking photos on her phone? Well, now those photos can actually be enjoyed. This printer is super easy to use and connects to any phone, tablet, or wireless device for instant, high-quality photos at her fingertips. Finally, use for her endless camera roll.
Belted bags (not to be confused with belt bags) are one of the biggest trends of the year. And while some cost upwards of a thousand dollars, this gorgeous suede purse from Mark & Graham has the same sophisticated look for under $200.
I bet your parents have a bunch of film negatives sitting around in a box somewhere. This gadget scans them and turns them into digital photos that can be preserved forever!
If she’s still packing her toiletries in a bunch of plastic bags, it’s most definitely time for an upgrade. This set comes with three cute floral pouches that will hold quite literally anything she’ll ever need on a trip.
This suede sneaker from On is ideal for walking, exploring, running errands, etc. It'll take her from walking the dog to brunch in a snap.
Moms deserve allll the pretty things, like these faux fur-trimmed, quilted gloves from UGG to keep her hands warm.
