While Mother’s Day is often centered around the one who brought us into the world, widening our lens reveals just how many mother figures are woven into our lives. It’s a beautiful reminder to celebrate not only those mothering in the traditional sense, but also the women who nurture, support, and help bring something new to life.

For this Mother’s Day Gift Guide, we’ve partnered with Target to show just how easy it is to thank the moms in your world, whether in small gestures or meaningful gifts. In addition to the ideas below, don’t miss their selection of Mother’s Day gifts and a special promo running May 4-11, 2025: 20% off women’s dresses, bottoms, swim, shoes, jewelry, jewelry storage, and upscale chocolate.

Gifts For New Moms

Entering motherhood is a whirlwind of every raw emotion coupled with the bare necessities of life. It’s both a tender and trying time—so if there’s a new mom in your life, chances are she could use the reminder that she’s worth tending to too.

OSEA

Bestsellers for Face and Body Kit

While skincare can be personal, the power of the sea is universal—and harnessed beautifully in this set. The body oil alone is worth the gift.

Especially if she’s wearing the same outfit for the sixth day in a row, slipping on these will remind any new mom that she hasn’t lost her sense of style.

Owala

Owala 24oz FreeSip Stainless Steel Water Bottle

With so many things to remember, make staying hydrated that much easier with this stylish sipper.

Nordic Teak

40″ x 20″ Natural Teak Shower and Bath String Mat – Beige

There’s just something about teak that feels like a vacation. This elevates her rare moments alone far better than a soggy bath mat.

Auden

Women’s Striped Cotton Blend Long Sleeve Pajama Shirt

This set has all the wins: an oversized look, button-up buttons, and pockets. It strikes the perfect balance of pulled together + ease.

Auden

Women’s Striped Cotton Blend Pajama Pants

Plus, the pants feel on-trend enough to pair with an oversized sweater and trainers. A hack for “I got dressed” when really, she’s still in pjs.

For when she does leave the house: This dress will feel both flattering and effortless. Simple to dress up or down without feeling too fussy. Cue Mom’s night out.

She may feel like she’s lost in a fog—this will help to at least cut through some other smells and bring her back to a place of calm.

One can never have too many blankets, especially during those early days of motherhood when you’re cuddling 24/7.

Max Portable Blender

Daily smoothies can be a game-changer for getting in much-needed nutrients. This is one she can take and use anywhere.

Threshold

Ceramic Jar 3-Wick Black Label Olive Leaf and Oud Candle

With a scent so good, she may not even need to light it. But it will still help her nightstand feel less like a pharmacy shelf and more like a centering place.

bella

4qt Slim Air Fryer

Easy, healthy dinners for the win. This one takes up less space and can be used to bake, broil, roast, dehydrate, and reheat.

Gifts For Mom Friends

Mom friends can be lifelines, from easing after-school pick-ups to swapping advice in the group chat. Whether you’re a fellow mom yourself or just have friends who also happen to be moms, now’s the perfect time to say, “I see you and I’m grateful for you.”

Avaline

Rosé Wine

A good glass paired with great (adult) conversation is balm for any mom. Give her the gift of your time in addition to this organically-farmed wine.

Dash

Electric Ice Cream Maker

She’ll love using it with the kids, but give her permission to make a special flavor just for herself. No need to share.

Mini Neutrals Nail Polish Set

It’s the little things that feel like a moment back to center. This set applies like a dream—and, one can never have too many neutrals.

All the energy, none of the jitters. This blend of matcha and chai, plus focus-boosting adaptogens, is the wake up call of champions. (AKA, moms.)

Versed

Doctor’s Visit Instant Resurfacing Mask

A quick and easy at-home facial that smoothes and brightens superbly, thanks to a mix of glycolic and lactic acids.

Gifts For Mom and Mom-Adjacent

Because of them, you are. These are the role models and truth-tellers who have always been in your corner—who are a little more down the road from you and share valuable wisdom in their wake. Let them know how much you appreciate all the time they’ve invested, and while it’s likely they’d rather have your presence over presents, a thoughtful gift never hurts.
