Mothers are human, They love their kids, but they also have lots of hobbies (cooking! running! gaming!), and they deserve gifts that honor them as people, not just parents. Gifts for Mom shouldn’t be about giving her a vacuum or anything related to the stereotypical cleaning of parents—the perfect gift for your mom will let you know how she likes to spend the rest of her day when she’s not a parent.
This guide has the best gift ideas for every type of mom and activities they might enjoy, whether it’s a holiday like Mother’s Day or Christmas, or you’re in need of a fun birthday gift for your mom—or, God forbid, your mother-in-law. (Unless your mother-in-law is awesome! In which case, mazel tov!)
