Gift Guide · Mother's Day 2026
Gifts for the Woman Who (Literally) Made You
Ten picks from our West Village shop. All of them funny, heartfelt, and actually good. From $15 to $95.
Every year, moms across America receive a candle they didn't ask for, a mug in a font that belongs on a middle school poster, and a card picked from the checkout line at CVS at 9pm on May 10th. We're not judging. We're just here to make sure it doesn't happen to yours.
Below is our curated Mother's Day gift guide for 2026! These are ten picks we'd actually give our own moms (and one for grandma), ranging from $15 to $95. All available in our West Village shop at 388 Bleecker St, or shipped directly to her door (or yours!). Free shipping on orders over $100.
The Best Mother's Day Gifts Under $25
She said she doesn't want anything, which means she wants something thoughtful and probably small. These four Mother's Day gifts are all under $25, none of them boring, and every one of them specific enough to feel chosen rather than grabbed.
Things I Love About Mom Fill-In Book
Best for: the sentimental gift that doesn't take itself too seriously
Prompted fill-in pages that do the emotional heavy lifting for you. Ideal if you mean well but blank completely the moment a blank card is in front of you. She'll read it more than once.
Mom Enamel Pin
Best for: the stylish mom who actually wears her stuff
A modern take on the classic tattoo-style "Mom" motif. Pin it on a jacket, a canvas tote, a denim shirt — or the vintage blazer she's had since before you were born.
Hot Mom Socks
Best for: the mom who will appreciate the acknowledgment
Because she is, and someone should say so. Works well on their own or paired with the pjs in this guide if you want to really commit to a theme.
The Best Mom Trinket Tray
Best for: the mom who holds the household together
For the rings she takes off to do the dishes, the lip balm no one can find, and all the small things she keeps track of so nobody else has to. One of our most-gifted items year-round.
Unique Mother's Day Gift Ideas: $25–$40
This is the range where Mother's Day gifts stop feeling like a formality and start feeling like something you actually picked. Each of these lands differently depending on your mom — but all three are specific enough that she'll know you thought about it.
Not the Worst Mom Strawberry Mug
Best for: the mom who gets the joke
Technically a compliment. She'll read it, pause, and then genuinely love it — which says a lot about both of you. A ceramic 11oz mug that's dishwasher and microwave safe.
Mother of the Freaking Year Trophy
Best for: official recognition, long overdue
An actual trophy for the actual MVP. She'll put it somewhere prominent. She should. A great Mother's Day gift for the mom who's been winning for decades without hardware to show for it.
Mom I Love You Candle
Best for: saying the thing directly, for once
Yes, it's a candle. No, it's not a cop-out — because this one says exactly what needs to be said, right on the label. No hedging, no irony. Just the truth, in a nice vessel.
Mother's Day Gifts Worth Every Penny
She spent eighteen years buying you things you didn't need. Here's your chance to return the favor with something she genuinely wouldn't buy herself. These are the picks that make an impression, for the moms who deserve more than a token gesture.
Mother Hustler Pajama Set
Best for: the mom who grinds all day and should rest better
She keeps everyone's lives running. The least we can do is make sure she rests in something that acknowledges it. Currently on sale — rare for a gift this good.
Mom Beaded Pink Coin Purse
Best for: the mom who appreciates something handmade and a little extra
Handmade beaded coin purse in blush pink. The kind of thing she'd pick up in our shop, put back down, and think about for a week. Save her the trouble — and get some credit for it.
And if you want to really go for it — the kind of gift that lives on her couch forever and makes every guest ask where it came from — there's this:
The Pillow She'll Scream Into
Best for: the mom with strong feelings and a good couch
Hand-embroidered needlepoint by Furbish Studio, backed in luxe velvet. It turns "I'm fine" into home décor, which is honestly where it belongs. One of the most original Mother's Day gifts we carry — and one of our personal favorites.
She Raised Someone Who Raised You.
Grandma is, by any reasonable metric, the original MVP. She deserves to be on your Mother's Day list — and this is the pick we keep coming back to for her. Practical, funny, and something she'll actually use to leave notes around the house.
