Moms consistently show up and support us in many ways throughout our lives. Whether you're sick and she sends you your favorite soup, she watches your kids while you need some "me time" or she is always there to pick up a call from you — they really do it all and ask for nothing in return.
With the holidays behind us, Valentine's Day is now on the horizon. While you might be planning what to get your kids or partner, one person you definitely shouldn't forget about gifting is your mom. To make your hunt for the perfect gift for the perfect woman a little easier, we've rounded up some of our favorite gifts we have gifted our own mothers in the past.
Read on to discover great gifts for every type of mom — even the ones who claim they "need nothing!"

What to get your mom for Valentine’s Day
When it comes to cracking the metaphorical great gift-giving code for moms, you should first always think about what they want, what they need and what they would never buy themselves. Somewhere in those questions lies a pretty great gift.
