SPEAKING AS A mom myself, I know that the best gift you can give your mother is you. If you can swing it, you should make it point of seeing her on Mother’s Day. If you think you’d like to bring her a gift, now is the time to start thinking about it, because Mother’s Day is approaching on May 12, 2024. Scrambling for ideas? We’ve got 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 going on, like traveling for work, working out, or hanging out with friends. I consulted other WIRED parents for their favorite picks. These are our best Mother’s Day gift ideas to help moms work from home, annotate their books, or dip into the world of gaming in their downtime. While you’re at it, check out our many other buying guides, like the Best Gift Ideas for New Parents, Best Kid Podcasts, or the Best Kid Tablets.
Updated May 2024: We added new picks, including the James Randolph Cache, the Free Fly Breeze skort, and more.
