A digital frame to keep her connected
A carry-all Mary Poppins would envy
The UE Wonderboom 2 is the all-around best portable Bluetooth speaker because it sounds good and looks cool, and it’s the most rugged model we’ve ever tested.
The Best Portable Bluetooth Speaker
These pajama styles, in a variety of fabrics and sizes, are great for sleeping and comfy for lounging, and they make a perfect gift.
After we tested nine flower delivery services, we found that our top pick is the best for sending beautiful bouquets that are unique, fresh, and on time.
The Best Online Flower Delivery Service
We spent many hours drying 168 pounds of meat and produce to find the most even, efficient dehydrator. Read on to find out which one we recommend.

If you rarely get to enjoy your coffee or tea before it gets cold, we can relate. Here are a few great ways to make sure every sip is a warm one.
The 3 Mug Warmers We Love for Keeping Our Coffee (and Tea) Hot
After many winters testing dozens of slippers, we think L.L.Bean’s women’s and men’s Wicked Good Moccasins are the most comfortable and durable pair.
We independently review everything we recommend. When you buy through our links, we may earn a commission. Learn more ›
We've updated this guide for 2022 with some new picks, including a soft pajama set .
Mothers come in all shapes, sizes, ages, and attitudes. Some moms run marathons, others run companies, and still others run around town, ferrying offspring from their violin lessons to tae kwon do classes to softball practice. Some still have a house full of kids; others are now empty nesters. But these mothers all have something in common: They have at least one person (be it a child, a co-parent, or an admirer) who owes them a great big thank-you—coupled with a thoughtful gift—for everything they do. Perhaps that person is you? If so, it’s time to get on it.
Atlas Coffee Club ($50 for a three-month subscription at the time of publication)
We’ve tried countless great coffee subscriptions , but for the caffeine-craving mama with a global palate, your best bet is the Atlas Coffee Club . Each monthly delivery hails from a different country, many of which are less-customary coffee destinations such as Peru, India, and Nicaragua. Atlas works directly with local farmers so they can get creative with the bean production; one recent project lauded by Wirecutter editor Ben Keough used anaerobic fermentation to extract more-unusual flavors from an uncommon Indian coffee. You have the choice of sending the 12-ounce delivery monthly or bimonthly, and each also arrives with a postcard featuring trivia about that country’s coffee industry. And Mom can choose her preferred roast and grind specifications.
Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2 (about $85 at the time of publication)
If your mom would enjoy working out in the yard untethered by earbuds, or they just want a way to bring some jazz to a picnic, a portable Bluetooth speaker is the perfect gadget. Our favorite is the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2 , which offers clear, full sound and is nearly unbreakable (it survived a 5-foot drop, no problem). And this speaker is small, so it’s easy to take on any journey; if that journey is just as far as the shower, this model is waterproof, too.
Eberjey Gisele PJ Set (about $130 at the time of publication)
With all of the comfort of an oversize tee—but a far cuter aesthetic—these jersey pajamas from Eberjey were among our absolute favorites from testing . After using them for over two years, our staff tester reports that they still fit properly and feel soft, showing only minimal wear. The set offers several mix-and-match options for the tops and bottoms (you can choose short sleeve or long, with either shorts or pants). And these PJs come in 16 pretty colors to suit any mom on your list.
The pleasure of receiving a bundle of blossoms is nearly unparalleled. We get a jolt of energy every time we walk through a room and see cut flowers in a vase. Rather than presenting Mom with merely one bouquet, though, why not give her a year’s worth of joy? UrbanStems, our pick for the best online flower-delivery service , offers subscriptions of classic or seasonal arrangements that arrive weekly, twice monthly, or monthly. The first bouquet comes with a simple, clear glass vase. But you could also buy her a hand-blown Aurora Pill Vase , which comes in a range of shapes and colors.
The Routine set ($65 at the time of publication)
Every mom deserves a luxurious self-care moment, and this at-home pamper set from Kate McLeod will step up her game. Included is a body brush, which gently exfoliates with horse hair and sisal bristles, and a solid lotion “body stone,” which softens on contact with skin to dispense a delicious-smelling formula of cocoa butter, almond oil, apricot oil, avocado oil, and coconut oil. The whole thing comes packaged in a pretty makeup bag, so she won’t have any trouble finding it among her other bathroom items. Wirecutter editor Daniela Gorny credits the set with keeping her skin soft even in the California desert she calls home.
Nesco FD-1018A Gardenmaster Dehydrator ($135 at the time of publication) The Dehydrator Bible ($14 at the time of publication)
For the mom on your list who loves dried fruits or jerky, an at-home dehydrator will become her new favorite kitchen gadget. The Nesco FD-1018A Gardenmaster Dehydrator stood out among those we tested for its superior drying ability, quickly dehydrating apples, beef jerky, onions, garlic, and fruit puree (for fruit “leather”). To further expand Mom’s snack-making skills, give it alongside a copy of The Dehydrator Bible , which Wirecutter senior staff writer Lesley Stockton says offered the best recipes and advice out of the six dehydration cookbooks she read while putting together our guide.
Ember Mug² ($130 at the time of publication)
Many moms know the struggle of trying to finish a cup of coffee in one sitting. But no matter what responsibility pulls her away, she shouldn’t have to settle for a lukewarm brew. Enter the Ember Mug: It was the most portable of the mug warmers we tested, because its heat source is battery-powered and built into the base, rather than a plug-in hot plate. Mom can adjust the temperature of her java using the Ember app on her smartphone. The mug cannot be run in the dishwasher, so make it a better gift by hand-washing it yourself.
MAMA baseball hat (about $30 at the time of publication)
Adorably casual, the mom on your list will love throwing on this hat, which proclaims her role loud and proud. Though one size fits all, the navy topper can be adjusted with a brass buckle in back. And for a twinning opportunity, you can also get a matching BABE hat for her little one.
In this beautifully photographed cookbook , Somali chef Hawa Hassan and food writer Julia Turshen share recipes and stories collected from bibis (grandmas) across eight countries in Africa. The easy-to-follow recipes for delicious dishes like date bread, chicken biryani, and shiro (an Eritrean ground-chickpea stew) are reason enough to give this cookbook to the gourmand mama in your life. And the stories of these women’s lives (both the bibis and the writers) will have Mom returning to the book again and again.
Heirloom Art Co. White Cotton Nightgown (about $50 at the time of publication)
Depending on how deep in the mom trenches your recipient happens to be, her own sleepwear is likely the last thing on her mind. Change that up with a white cotton nightgown. The Victorian-style offerings from Heirloom Art Co . are just right for glamorously streaming Netflix after bedtime. They’re perfect for waltzing around in the wee hours of the morning like a modern-day Sylvia Plath. And they’re great under a cardigan for when you need to hop in the car to do a school drop-off. The versatile coverups are unlined and not entirely opaque, so they’re subtly sexy, and they come in a number of lengths and sleeve options to suit your mom’s style.
The Annotated Mrs. Dalloway (about $20 at the time of publication)
If you’re the offspring of a literature-loving mom, we’re guessing she worships at the altar of Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway . Recently published, this hardback annotated edition of the 1925 classic is a rich and satisfying update. The book includes an extensive introduction and is annotated throughout with newly gleaned insights drawn from both biographical research and an examination of Woolf’s earlier drafts. This version is also dotted with 150 illustrations, including paintings, a map of Clarissa Dalloway’s London, and relevant archival photographs. For there she was, indeed.
Glerups Wool Slippers Open Heel ($100 at the time of publication) Glerups Wool Slipper Boots ($125 at the time of publication)
The mom in your life deserves—nay, needs—a warm pair of slippers to take her around the house in style. Get her these lightweight, breathable wool slippers from Glerups , among the best we’ve ever tested . Made from just one piece of felt, they’re less prone to splitting or degradation than other felted wool slippers. And they’re easy to slide on and off, when Mom doesn’t have time to bend down and fiddle with footwear. For chilly ankles, Glerups also makes a felted wool boot . Both are also available in rubber-soled versions to wear inside and outside the house.
Aura Mason (starting at about $180 at the time of publication)
A digital photo frame can serve as a direct link between you and your mother, allowing you to send new photos right to her mantle, no matter how far away. The Aura Mason , our favorite digital photo frame , is easy to set up and has a sharp, vivid display. And it works seamlessly on Android and iOS through a proprietary app. Simply upload your photos through the app (this makes Aura especially good for documenting Little League triumphs and other fleeting-but-important moments you’d like to share), and they’ll show up in the frame. One tip: After you receive the frame, start contributing photos so that when Mom opens the package and powers up the Aura, they’ll be ready and waiting.
AncestryDNA ($100 at the time of publication)
For the mom who’s curious about her ethnic origins or family background, a DNA testing kit makes a great, informative gift. Our favorite is AncestryDNA . This kit presents test results in a clearer manner than other services do, and it places ancestry information in a useful historical context. We do urge you to spend a few moments reading the privacy section in our guide , though, because using even the best DNA testing service involves data and privacy risks.
Breville Bambino Plus ($400 at the time of publication)
The mama who loves espresso drinks will enjoy and likely use this gift every morning for years. After more than 80 hours of research and testing , we think the Breville Bambino Plus makes the best espresso at home: It’s easy to use, yet it produces consistently rich shots and perfectly steamed milk. And with its sleek, compact design, this machine will look pretty in any kitchen that’s lucky enough to have it.
Solo Stove Bonfire Fire Pit ($300 at the time of publication)
For the mom who likes spending time in the backyard or on the patio, help extend her outdoor hours well into the evening with a portable fire pit. One of our favorites is the Solo Stove Bonfire Fire Pit , which, when operated correctly, burns wood with almost no detectable smoke. The airflow created by the stove’s double-walled design intensifies the heat of the fire, making it more efficient and less smoky.
There are few pleasures on this planet that are better than padding around home in a soft robe on a lazy morning, a cup of coffee in hand and no jeans or obligations in sight. The mom in your life deserves such a moment, and you can supply the uniform (even if you can’t guarantee the other elements). We tested dozens of robes , and this Turkish cotton model is one of our favorites. The robe is lightweight, and it comes in a wide range of women’s sizes (from XS to 2X), two lengths ( long or short ), and almost a dozen colors. For just $6 more, you can have the robe personalized with mom’s initials or a cheeky nickname, and there’s a slew of fun fonts and thread hues to choose from.
Kikkerland Solar-Powered Rainbow Maker (about $35 at the time of publication)
This little light catcher will add some magic to any space. Just suction it onto the window, and when the sun hits the solar battery, the hanging crystals will start to rotate, refracting sunlight all around the room and transforming it into a rainbow wonderland. To see it in action, check out this video .
Lush Bath Bombs (starting at about $7 at the time of publication)
What Mom really deserves is a weeklong stay at a fancy resort, but she’ll no doubt also appreciate an exceptionally nice bath (unless you can swing that spa weekend, in which case, do that!). For an elevated experience, we love Lush’s Bath Bombs , the very best we tested . They “explode” as soon as they hit the water, filling the tub with gorgeous, shimmering shades, long-lasting fragrance, and skin-soothing oils. All of which is to say that the mom in your life will emerge from the tub good and relaxed.
Google Nest Hub Max (about $180 at the time of publication)
Supervising editor Marilyn Ong recommends the Google Nest Hub Max for moms who spend a lot of time in the kitchen—especially those who seem to have everything already. With the Max, your mom can upload family photos to use as screensavers, and watch TV shows or listen to music or podcasts while cooking. She can also access all of her favorite recipes—the device has a recipe-search function baked in. In our testing , we found the Max was better than the Amazon Echo Show at walking us through cooking instructions step by step. (And the Max has gesture control, so your mom won’t have to touch the screen with dirty hands.)
Rough Linen Original Pinafore Apron (about $90 at the time of publication)
Yes, buying Mom an apron might seem a little Leave It to Beaver . But the absurdly comfy Rough Linen Original Pinafore Apron is good for anyone who spends time in the kitchen, regardless of how much they cook. (Even someone who’s just “supervising” risks being splattered.) A rectangle of fabric with two straps and big pockets, the Original Pinafore Apron looks less “prissy apron” and more “artsy smock,” yet it’s actually really well designed. It’s loose in all the right places, but it won’t slip around as she moves. When testing the apron , we also liked the two giant hip pockets, which can fit everything from a phone to a meat thermometer to folded dish towels.
A common rite of adulthood involves the passing down of a well-used Le Creuset casserole dish or saucepan from parents to children who are leaving the nest. (Equally common: said children sneaking a piece or two into a moving box and claiming, “I have no idea how that got in there.”) We say it’s time to turn the tide, starting with Le Creuset’s Signature Enameled Cast-Iron 5½-Quart Round French Oven , the upgrade pick in our guide to the bes
