Mother’s Day is less than a week away, but you can still find a perfect gift she’ll love. From flowering teas that look like a work of art to high-tech pajamas to keep her cool at night, we rounded up 10 thoughtful picks.
Custom-made iPad and iPhone cases
What can your mom have in common with President Obama and Jay Z? A personalized DODOcase for her iPhone or iPad. These bookbound-style cases boast a bamboo tray for her device and can be customized with her initials, favorite color or even a map of her favorite vacation spot. (From $39.95 for an iPhone case and $74.90 for an iPad case at DODOcase)
Flowering tea set
Sure, Mom could drink any old tea. But why not go the extra mile and pick up a set of flowering teas? Artisans in China create rosettes and bundles out of hand-picked tea leaves, which slowly unfold when steeped in hot water. (From $39.99 at Numitea)
Super soft pajamas
These high-tech pajamas are as smooth as silk and super comfy, too. They’re made of special, breathable fabrics that keep her as cool as the other side of the pillow. (From $24 at Sheex)
Personalized Monopoly board
This personalized game board is better than scoring a get-out-of-jail-free card. Just choose a board design, add some captions and plug in six of your favorite family photos. ($40 at Cafe Press)
Joke journal
Kids say the funniest things, but by the end of the day, she may be too wiped out to remember what they were. This easy-to-tote journal makes sure she doesn’t miss a single one-liner. ($14.95 at Chronicle Books)
Chevron clutch
Consider this Missoni-inspired hard-case clutch an accessory workhorse. It’s equally at home at a parent-teacher conference as it is date night, even if that date now involves pizza and a “House of Cards” marathon. ($34 at Bijuju)
Initial necklace
This sweet, 14k gold sideways initial necklace is a lot like her: sophisticated and stylish. ($139 at etsy)
Colorful headphones
Tops on every mom’s wish list? A little more peace and quiet. These ultra-comfy, durable headphones will give her the next best thing: full, crystal-clear audio. ($179.95 at Bose)
Monogrammed gardening gloves
Mom’s thumb may be more brown than green, but no one will be able to tell under these sumptuous suede-and-canvas gardening gloves. But they’re more than just a (very) pretty face—they also feature thoughtful touches like reinforced thumbs and fastener straps that keep dirt out. ($35 at Red Envelope)
Drop earrings
Don’t be surprised if these chic drop earrings become her new go-to pair. They look just as good at the office as they do on the playground. ($68 at Strolby)
