This year, Mother's Day lands on Sunday, May 11 — which will be here before you know it. And, pro tip: If she says she doesn't want a present, something small to celebrate her would still be a nice gesture.
Whether it's her first Mother's Day or you're feeling uninspired after the last decade of gifting, we've rounded up unique Mother's Day gifts for your wife that'll improve her daily routine. We've included editor favorites, reader picks of our best Mother's Day gifts and products we've tested in the Good Housekeeping Institute Labs.
As you scroll, think about the type of present that would be the most meaningful to her, whether it's a pajama set to help her unwind or a sentimental book filled with your favorite family memories. You don't have to spend a lot to spoil her — most of these ideas cost less than $50, but if you want to go big this year, we've sprinkled in some luxury gifts, too.
Cue all the "awws" with this sentimental gift. It's the perfect way to acknowledge everything she does for your family. It emits a soft light and sits on a base, so it can be placed anywhere. There's also a wife-specific version if you prefer that.
There's a special Mother's Day tumbler that the brand launched, but everyone is really wanting something from Stanley's new Cabana collection. Available in blue, pink and yellow stripes, the line just screams summer.
Amazon reviewers all agree this piece is absolutely stunning. The brand says it's 24K-gold plated, and it sits on a plaque that reads: "the world with you is very beautiful." In addition to the gold flower, it also comes in blue, pink, red and purple. "Bought as a keepsake for [my] wife. Lovely when the light catches it," one reviewer wrote.
The set is massively discounted right now, so if you think she might like it, you should grab it. In addition to the watch, she'll get two matching bangles to go with it. Available in different metals and colors, one person said it's "the best gift."
Chances are, if she doesn't have one (or even if she does), she's been eyeing a Kendra Scott necklace. Luckily, Kendra Scott is on Amazon, so you know it'll arrive in time. Plus, many colors, like the white opal, are on sale.
You might be thinking Valentine's Day when you see this, but what we see is romance (although, if the red is throwing you off, you can always go with the yellow, white or pink version). Since the flowers are preserved, they will last forever. "My wife loves it. The roses are so real looking and the packaging is great," one person on Amazon wrote.
The thing is, for Mother's Day, she probably just wants a something simple, like a nice bath. Hand her this top-rated pillow and lead her right to the tub (bonus points if you get her a glass of wine or a good book to read).
Many custom gifts won't arrive in time, but the brand says this one will if you're a Prime member (but you should still probably order ASAP!). You can get any title on it, and get the names of your kids embroidered on the sleeves.
Something that's just for her, she'll get a full basket of vanilla-scented creams, oils, gels and more. It has over 9,000 reviews on Amazon, with many praising the presentation. "I bought this as a gift for my aunt. I could smell it through the packaging, and she absolutely loved it," one person wrote.
Peony season is a magical but short-lived moment in the spring. If she's a fan, you can't go wrong with a stunning bouquet from The Bouqs Co. The brand came out on top when we did our tests for the best flower delivery services because the arrangements lasted longer than any similar bouquet we tested.

We're fans of Laneige, and if she is too (she likely is), treat her to the ultimate beauty set. Inside, she'll get the brand's Water Bank Cream, Water Sleeping Mask, Cream Skin Toner and Moisturizer and Berry lip mask — all for under $30!
This elegant candle warmer has three timer options and four brightness levels, plus the height adjusts to fit all of her favorite candles. Added bonus: You no longer have to worry about flames around the kids.
You can't go wrong with chocolate! This gift basket includes 15 different sweet treats, including peanut butter squares, almond clusters, chocolate pretzels, sea salt caramels and toffee. Everything's individually wrapped, so the chocolates stay fresh until she's ready to snack.
