The product length was spot on. It did everything I wanted and was very reasonably priced. Seller shipped promptly and I received the product in good condition,” to “I was looking for macrame plant hangers like the ones my mom used to have. Plant hangers these days are tacky plastic that won’t fit in ceiling hooks from what I’ve seen. These are great! Beautiful and unobtrusive- they really let your plants take center stage. I bought one to hang plants in every window!”
Mkono Cotton-Macrame Plant Hangers (Set of 2), $10.99, available at Amazon

The difference in my hands is immediate and lasting. They do not feel greasy, just soft and smooth. I will always have this around because I love it. Also, it lasts, a little goes a long way because it is so rich in Shea butter.”

Fact: Moms love Oprah. Heck, everyone loves Oprah — and she’s back with a new, beautiful book meant to inspire through thoughtful, uplifting quotes and images.
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars, and 62 reviews
A Satisfied Customer Review: “I am so happy with my purchase! The pages are filled with quotes from many people whom have influenced Oprah in a teachable aspect. As well as her own discovery to her purpose in life. I haven’t finished it yet but it is a quick read. I can see myself going back to this book when in need of inspirational words.”
Flatiron Books The Path Made Clear, $16.75, available at Amazon
Cheeky Cookbook
If Snoop is more your mom’s speed, we highly suggest this top-selling cookbook. It was a hit with R29 readers during holiday gifting season and it’s due time mom enjoyed musings and recipes from the Doggfather too.
Rating: 4.7 out of 5 stars, and 129 reviews
A Satisfied Customer Review: “I bought this to be a gag gift for my mother, after she signed us up for a cookbook exchange and I got her name. The intent was to get something that would make her laugh, but also have nutritional, useful, and unique recipes. I expected something silly to come in the mail, but this book is “legit” as Snoop himself would say. My mom owns an in-home bakery, and I am the only one who cooks in a household of four college students, therefore a book that could handle being passed around the kitchen, and flipped through regularly without the cover or pages deteriorating or damaging easily. As a very traditional Midwestern family we also enjoy recipes that carry tradition or sentiment. Crook to Cook has all of these. Each recipe comes with a story of its significance to the rapper’s life, as well as an in depth breakdown of basic ingredients needed for each section, so you can be sure you have enough of everything in stock.”
Chronicle Books Platinum Recipes from Snoop Dogg’s Kitchen, $16.02, available at Amazon
Lightweight Cotton Robe
Gift mom a lightweight, natural cotton robe she can lounge in all spring through summer long.
Rating: 4.6 out of 5 stars, and 104 reviews
A Satisfied Customer Review: “Love this robe. Quality fabric… excellent construction and really nice style. The sleeves stay out of the way while getting ready. That is so helpful. The sleeves of my old robe always seems to get wet in the sink.”
U2 Skiin Lightweight Cotton Short Spa Robe, $19.99, available at Amazon
Echo Show
This little companion makes it super easy to stream music and books, watch videos and TV, make Skype calls, and serve up recipes when you don’t have a free hand. Oh that Alexa, what doesn’t “she” do?
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars, and 3,263 reviews
A Satisfied Customer Review: “This is a great kitchen companion. The screen is large enough to view from across the room. Before adding an ingredient to a dish, you can confirm the measurement without walking away from the stove, bowl, mixer etc. It has great speakers so you can fill the room with sound as you prepare your gourmet dish. I am hesitant about putting it in the bedroom, video calling :). When I purchased my show, Amazon offered a free smart light bulb. I wish they would bring back that offer. Not that I would buy another show, but it might help others purchase one, if they were considering having a smart home. The new Echo Show is a must have!!!!!!”
Amazon Echo Show (2nd Gen), $179.99, available at Amazon

They were very safely packaged, the vase was in tact, and there were clear instructions for how to take care of them and get the longest use out of them. They arrived on a Thursday, and by Monday were still looking incredible and had plenty of life left. Would highly recommend!”

Unique Caddy
Handmade stoneware use-anywhere caddy that’s naturally glazed so no two are exactly alike.
Rating: 4.4 out of 5 stars, and 23 reviews
A Satisfied Customer Review: “I wanted a utensil crock that was unique and pretty. My kitchen is not all one cohesive style, it’s more a mash up of my style and my boyfriends. So this was a perfect deal, durable enough to hold all our cooking utensils but blends my love of colors with his appreciation of natural themes.”

K-Beauty Subscription Box
Give the gift of a K-beauty masks every month. Each package has been carefully handpicked and tested by the FaceTory curation team.
Rating: 4.4 out of 5 stars, and 58 reviews
A Satisfied Customer Review: “I became a big fan of sheet masks while living in Japan. I usually bought cheap ones, though, and they weren’t much more effective than just moisturizer. I also have very sensitive skin and sometimes I’d get a few zits after certain ones.
I have been busy and stressed lately, so I decided to treat myself to something small. I tried FaceTory. I have now used 8 masks and I have loved them all. None have irritated my skin, though a few did start to tingle. There are at least 2 that I felt made such a difference I would buy them again separately. I also like that there is a little explanation of what each one is supposed to do. It’s fun to try different masks instead of being locked into basically different scents of the same mask, which is how I feel about sets I’ve bought on Amazon.
It does come in an envelope, not a box, but I don’t see that as an issue. I also haven’t had any problem with the size of the masks as some reviews mention. I have a wide, Mexican face and I’m fine with them. Like most sheet masks, I do sometimes cut extra slits around the eye holes so they lay flatter against my face instead of being stretched across.
My 3rd envelop should be arriving soon and I don’t see myself unsubscribing any time soon.
I have been using these masks once a week. Combined with the rest of my skincare, my skin has never been better and I haven’t felt dry at all this winter.”
Facetory Handpicked K-Beauty Sheet Masks Subscription Box, $19.9, available at Amazon
Seashell Wind Chime

Interlocking Pendant Necklace
A delicate sterling silver chain with two interlocking circles of different sizes is a simple, subtle, and beautiful reminder of your mother-daughter bond.
Rating: 4.9 out of 5 stars, and 531 reviews
A Satisfied Customer Review: “ This was a gift for my mom, who procrastinated on telling me anything she wanted for Mother’s day, so I found this and she loved it. I really appreciate the pretty wrapping (she sent me a photo), especially since there wasn’t time to send it to me to wrap and then ship it to her. She said the necklace is beautiful!”
Efy Tal Interlocking Infinity Necklace, $39.95, available at Amazon
Soft Throw Blanket
If you’re not able to see mom in person on Mother’s Day, gifting her a snuggly throw is almost like sending a warm hug.
Rating: 4.7 out of 5 stars, and 8 reviews
A Satisfied Customer Review: “This is an extremely soft 50% cotton, 50% acrylic blanket made in Portugal. The color and design are attractive and the blanket has a fringe at two ends. Perfect for a nap on the couch or for cool fall/winter evenings, the blanket is quite warm and plush. Since the blanket is recommended as dry-clean only, I haven’t tried running it through the wash and wouldn’t recommend it for those with pets where it’s likely to need frequent washing. Overall, this is definitely a step up from a typical throw blanket for the back of an easy chair or couch.”
Stone & Beam Modern Farmhouse Color Block Throw, $54.99, available at Amazon
Desert Gems Purple Cacti
Costa Farms has a special process for adding the color to Desert Gems (it’s not spray painted and it’s not done with genetic engineering). This little cacti is perfectly happy inside and will bring a boost of color to mom’s space. Plus, each one is shipped in a gloss white ceramic pot.
Rating: 4.1 out of 5 stars, and 26 reviews
A Satisfied Customer Review: “I love this vendor!!! They have outstanding plants and know how to properly prepare them for shipping which is not common! Literally gasped opening up a cactus I ordered after gifting my previous one with orange flowers to my daughter. I was missing it and had never imagined a cactus so beautiful until this purple beauty arrived!!!”
Costa Farms Premium Live Indoor Desert Cacti, $33.99, available at Amazon
A Cool Wine Cooler
A wine cooler with sophisticated personality. Add a bottle of wine or two for extra brownie points.
Rating: 4.6 out of 5 stars, and 92 reviews
A Satisfied Customer Review: “I use a wine tote a couple of times per week and after my leather-like (expensive) wine tote bit the dust it was time for a new wine bag! I am very happy with this product. It is lightweight, plenty tall enough for most normal bottles (those who enjoy German rieslings in an extra-tall bottle might disagree) and features both a carry handle & sturdy shoulder strap. I especially like that it is insulated/padded to help protect its cargo from accidental bumps and drastic temperature fluctuations. Seems to be a very good product that will endure a long and frequent usage!”
Tirrinia Insulated Wine Tote Carrier – 2 Bottle, $18.98, available at Amazon
Luxe Body-Lotion
Sometimes a pricier than your usual drugstore lotion is all mom really needs to feel thought of on her special day (oh, and vitamin b5-moisturized).
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars, and 21 reviews
A Satisfied Customer Review: “Very lightly scented, absorbs easily. Can I say Malin Goetz makes the BEST lotions! Only thing better is their moisturizers, a little thicker and great for dry winter skin. Such a great fragrance!”
Malin + Goetz Vitamin B5 Body Lotion (8.5 Fl Oz), $35, available at Amazon
Fashion-Meets-Function Tote
Made from premium quality PU-leather with a soft-pebbled pattern and tassel-accent, this stylish and roomy top-handle bag comes with a magnetic closure for more secure toting.
Rating: 4.3 out of 5 stars, and 377 reviews
A Satisfied Customer Review: “This purse is really sturdy. It has reinforced stitching on it. I gave it to my wife to keep in her car for when we go grocery shopping in grocery stores that require you to bring your own bags, like Aldi. It also would make a great purse. It’s VERY soft. Which, is very nice. It’s soft enough to roll up to save space in our vehicles.”
Nodykka Top Handle Tote Bag With Leather Tassel, $14.39, available at Amazon
Goat-Milk Soap Gift Set
Mom’s only wish after receiving this bespoke box of goat-milk soap? That her walls were papered in its pretty floral packing.
Rating: 4.8 out of 5 stars, and 42 reviews
A Satisfied Customer Review: “I have used Beekman Soap for several years now. Love it. Leaves skin soft, plus the fact it’s all natural with none of the things in it that most soaps have. Give it for gifts all the time.”

Beach Backpack Lounge Chair
This #1 New Release on Amazon is a fold-up and portable gift that moms will hail their functional summertime saviors.
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars, and 193 reviews
A Satisfied Customer Review: “Great for the beach! I brought a small neck pillow and it worked just fine. I love how portable and convenient this is! My favorite part of the chair is the pouch on the back. It’s really very roomy! I was able to fit my neck pillow, magazines, beach towel, phone, and a drink in there. And the colors are very cute! Perfect chair for lounging at the beach. It was easy to position exactly how I wanted it too, and it dries off quickly after I sprayed the sand off when I was done.”

Portable Bluetooth Speaker
This rose-gold tech accessory is equal parts sleek, durable, and LOUD — a.k.a., the mom-trifecta.
Rating: 4.4 out of 5 stars, and 403 reviews
A Satisfied Customer Review: “Love this little speaker. I can obviously connect by Bluetooth and play music from my phone. I can even connect it directly to my old school mp3 player and play music. If a call comes through while it’s connected to my phone and I’m listening to music, I can talk to the person directly through the speaker. It is a beautiful rose gold color. It gets pretty loud. I have set the speaker on a desk and on top the fridge, and the bass has even caused the speaker to “jump”/move and it fell off so have to be careful. Even with the fall it took from the fridge, it still works great. Small enough to put in my purse too. I love it. Get one.”
NUBWO Portable Bluetooth Speaker (Rose Gold), $18.98, available at Amazon
Leather-Banded Geode Watch
This unique accessory features a hollowed-out and geode-layered face that’s complimented by a sturdy yet soft leather band.
Rating: 4.3 out of 5 stars, and 30 reviews
A Satisfied Customer Review: “I don’t know if I can really express how much I love this watch. I’m not a person who wears watches but decided to give it a try. The band is wayyyyyy nicer than I expected for a watch at this price. Its stiffer underneath but feels like micro fiber on top of the strap. Has been keeping time accurately since I set it. And I love the overall look. I’ll def buy in other colors.”
STARKLING Hollow Quartz Watch With Leather Band, $17.98, available at Amazon
Rose-Quartz Money Tree
Handmade from natural rose-quartz and copper, this luminous money-tree sculpture is intended to bring wealth, good luck, and healing to giftees.
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars, and 43 reviews
A Satisfied Customer Review: “I love this little rose quartz tree. It’s adorable and exceeded my expectations. Perfect for keeping and gifting.” and “I picked this gift as a twist between a ‘tree of life’ my mom and I share a love for and crystals which my step dad collects. He said it gave off positive energy and I liked how I could gift it to both of them. It’s pretty heavy, good quality. The base crystal alone was half of my palm, so it’s a great size…all in all, I really thought it was beautiful. I will most likely buy another for my home!”
Top Plaza Natural Rose Quartz Money Tree, $29.99, available at Amazon
