This year is extra special—it’s my very first Mother’s Day. And let me tell you, becoming a mom has completely changed the way I look at gifts. Now, it’s all about practical things that make life easier, sweeter, and won’t just end up in a drawer collecting dust. So whether you’re shopping for a new mom, a seasoned pro, or dropping subtle hints for yourself, here’s a roundup of Mother’s Day gifts she’ll actually use (and love):

The Rhode lip set is perfect for a quick swipe of hydration and glow (because some mornings, that’s all the “getting ready” I have time for). I’m also loving the Staub baking set—beautiful enough to serve dinner in and sturdy enough for the seasoned baker. And for something a little more sentimental, the bubble-letter “mama” necklace is a fun way to honor the new title I’ve earned, with a playful, modern twist.

Whether she loves to cook, is a beauty lover, or just appreciates a quick workout, keep scrolling for more gifts she’ll love…
