Mother’s Day is an opportunity to show how thankful you are for the nurturers in your life. Of these mother figures, Oprah says, “Y’all know I believe they are life’s greatest spiritual teachers. A mother’s role is so profound—they’re tasked with guiding and shaping a future generation with a loving heart and trying to raise kind people in the world.” So whether you want to honor your mom, sister, grandma, or best friend turned new mom, these unique Mother's Day gifts will help you communicate how much you appreciate them and everything they do.

Granted, mothers can be notoriously hard to shop for, especially when they claim they already have everything. While there's nothing wrong with giving your mom something practical, consider something a little more meaningful this year: a personalized piece of jewelry (or art!), a book that celebrates the special bond between mothers and daughters, a gourmet treat for your favorite foodie, or even an entire Meyer lemon tree if she's got a green thumb. If your mom is more matter-of-fact than mushy, you might do better with a useful item (think cozy slippers or a dreamy eye mask).

No matter how many great ideas you have for a unique Mother's Day gift—breakfast in bed, a scenic stroll, a quiet staycation, or even a virtual celebration—it's always nice to treat mom to a thoughtful present you know she'll love.
