Best Under $50: Weighted Sleep Mask
“If you’re a little skeptical of “the weighted blanket for your eyes,” it’s okay I was too. But it actually feels so relaxing! It’s just the right amount of pressure to calm your body and make you feel at ease.”
Best Under $100: Candle Trio Set
“If you want to get her candles that she is guaranteed to love, this trio is unbelievably good. Le Labo never fails to make irresistible scents, and these three candles are some of there most popular, classic scents that everyone is obsessed with.”
Best Luxury Gift: Cozy Knit UGGs
“UGG slippers are a gift that you can count on her absolutely loving! Everyone loves a good pair of UGGs, and this design in particular is just too cute. UGGs also last a lot longer than a lot of other slippers because of their quality, so she’ll get so much use out of these!”
Most Popular: Tote Bag

Best Value: Leapord Super Spa Set
“A spa set is a great gift because it’s probably not something she would buy for herself, but let’s be honest, every mom could use a spa set! It has everything she needs to create her very own at-home spa for a relaxing night. And the leopard print is so stinking cute!”
Mable’s Favorite: Monogram Serving Board
“When I don’t know what to get someone, this serving board is one of my go-tos because everyone always ends up loving it.
It’s adorable (obviously) and it’s the perfect size for appetizers and charcuterie! Don’t be surprised when next time you come over she’s using this board to serve snacks! It’s too pretty to stay in the cupboard!”
Best Gifts for Boyfriends Mom:
1. Gold Multi-Stick
This multi-stick is so easy to apply and can be used in so many different places! The gold color is such a pretty shade for a highlighter and eyeshadow, but frankly, all of their shades are spot on.
This is also one of those pretty pigmented products, so she doesn’t need a lot to give her that natural effortless glow! Also amazing for touchups on the go (so easy to blend out with your fingers).
2. Silk Contour Mask
If there is one silk mask out there that is made for the ladies, it’s this one! It has built-in indents where your eyes go so it’s not pressing up against your eyelashes. This is truly a thing of beauty! 😉
3. Dog Icon Juice Glasses
If she is a dog mom, she will love these drinking glasses! They’re so adorable, and there is nothing a dog mom loves more than items with cute dogs on it.
4. Balancing Shampoo
This is the perfect deep cleanse shampoo that she can use to get all of the product build-up out of her hair. And unlike a lot of others out there, this one won’t cause her scalp to dry out or strip her hair of its natural oils. It’s super well-balanced!
5. Neutral Sneakers
These neutral sneakers are great because they’re supportive enough to wear during a workout, but cute enough to wear out and about. These will become a staple in her wardrobe! And you know this is a gift she’ll actually get a lot of use out of!
6. Toasted Sugar Hair and Body Fragrance
Even though moms love a good fragrance, they don’t want to smell like everyone else. This is one of those fragrances that not a lot of people know about, but it’s the perfect mix of sweet and cozy!
7. Fluted Marble Picture Frame
A picture frame is a super cute gift idea that you can give her with a cute picture of you and your boyfriend or you and her. Moms always love a cute picture (bonus points for the adorable frame that doubles as stylish home decor ;))!
8. Mini Weekender Bag
This bag is the perfect size! It’s not too big, but it will still fit all of her essentials and has a separate compartment for shoes. She can use this for a weekend getaway or as a carry-on. Either way, she’ll be traveling in style!
9. Hydrating Lip Balm
This lip balm is so underrated! It’s a super good nourishing lip balm that she can use to keep her lips hydrated when they need a little extra TLC. You just know it’s going to be good if it’s a Nécessaire product!
10. Hooded Ruana
This is kind of the same idea as a shawl, but it’s open in the front, a little more stylish, and it has a hood. This is such a great layering piece that she’ll absolutely love for colder days!
And you really can’t go wrong with the creme or sand colors… they literally go well with everything!
11. Crew Bracelet
Every mom loves a good classic piece of jewelry! This bracelet is super cute and dainty, but also not too pricy! She’ll love adding this to her collection.
Gorjana is also just a great place for more affordable jewelry and nicer pieces. And everyone always loves receiving them!
12. Brightening Eye Cream
Brightening eye cream is a game changing addition in a skincare routine! Every one should have a good eye cream. And this one will allow her to wake up with hydrated and brighter under eyes – and who doesn’t want that?
13. Wool Fringe Throw
Anthropologie throws are some of the softest blankets you will ever touch! And this one is no exception. It doesn’t matter how many blankets she already has, because this one will quickly become her absolute favorite – for snuggling and displaying on her couch!
14. Facial Steamer
A facial steamer is one of those self-care products that makes you feel like you’re at a spa! They’re so relaxing, and amazing for opening up your pores. A facial steamer followed by a clay face mask or an exfoliator is an unbeatable combo for glass skin!
15. Candle Warmer Lamp
Candle warmer lamps are the best! They’re cute, and they’ll make your candles last sooooo much longer. Plus you don’t have to worry about a fire hazard. This is one of those things that she didn’t know she needed – but totally does!
16. Large Scrunchie Set
Silk hair scrunchies are a holy grail! It’s so nice to be able to put up your hair without having to worry about creasing or the band pulling at your hair. Once she tries these silk hair scrunchies, she’ll never want to go back to regular hair ties!
17. Kindle Paperwhite
A kindle is every book-lovers dream gift! If she doesn’t already have one, this is your chance to get her the perfect gift. It’s so much easier to take a kindle on a go than to take a big bulky book. Not to mention when you want to read in bed at night, you don’t have to have bright lights to allow you to see the words. It’s so convenient!
18. Weighted Sleep Mask
If you’re a little skeptical of “the weighted blanket for your eyes,” it’s okay I was too. But it actually feels so relaxing! It’s just the right amount of pressure to calm your body and make you feel at ease.
I got this for my mom last year for Christmas and she hasn’t stopped using it since. She says she noticed that she doesn’t move around as much in her sleep either (a major pro in her books).
19. Precision Coffee Maker
If she’s still using a pod coffee maker (nothing wrong with that), giving her an upgrade might just make you her favorite. This coffee maker is the perfect in-between of higher-end but not over the top crazy.
If you want to get the most out of your coffee blend, this coffee maker has got you covered. So if your boyfriend’s mom loves coffee, this is basically a guaranteed winner!
20. Personalized Puffer Pouch
You really can’t have enough pouches! You can seriously use them for so much. And this one automatically ranks higher because of its cute puffy material and personalized touch.
It’s hard to find good personalized gifts for your boyfriend’s mom, but this is one that she will 100% love!
21. Leopard Super Spa Set
A spa set is a great gift because it’s probably not something she would buy for herself, but let’s be honest, every mom could use a spa set! It has everything she needs to create her very own at-home spa for a relaxing night. And the leopard print is so stinking cute!
22. Fleece Vest
My mom has this vest and it is definitely one of her most worn pieces! It’s cute, casual, and it keeps her warm. It’s so cute to the point where I’ve thought of stealing it. 🤭 But I know she loves it too much! If you get this for her, she’ll wear it non-stop!
23. Eat Bread Mug
This mug is adorable – because who doesn’t love bread? It’s also such a good size mug where she can pour herself a nice cup of coffee or tea to start her day. There is no arguing – Anthropologie has the best mugs!
24. Marble Cheese Board
A cheese board is something she’ll use all of the time, especially if she enjoys having company over. This one in particular is so chic yet so simple! Snacks and appetizers just taste better on a cute cheese board. I don’t make the rules. 🤷♀️
25. Candle Trio Set
If you want to get her candles that she is guaranteed to love, this trio is unbelievably good. Le Labo never fails to make irresistible scents, and these three candles are some of there most popular, classic scents that everyone is obsessed with.
She’ll definitely be impressed with your elevated taste with this one!
26. Tote Bag
Tote bags are always so useful! You can use them as grocery bags, work bags, beach bags, you name it! This is such a good sized tote bag that she’ll end up using all of the time. You can even get it monogrammed for a personal touch!
And if you want to take this gift one step further, you can add a pretty flower bouquet inside the tote (Trader Joe’s has the best affordable assortments), add a ribbon or bow around the handles, and gift it to her as is.
27. Rich Hand Balm
This hand balm smells so luxurious and feels even better. This brand is known for their elevated products, and this one doesn’t disappoint! A little goes a long way too, so this tube will last her a while. Trust me when I say this balm is the key to the softest most hydrated hands (also so good for cuticles).
28. Cozy Knit UGGs
UGG slippers are a gift that you can count on her absolutely loving! Everyone loves a good pair of UGGs, and this design in particular is just too cute. UGGs also last a lot longer than a lot of other slippers because of their quality, so she’ll get so much use out of these!
29. Overnight Hand and Foot Hydration Mask
Her feet and hands deserve some self care too! This mask will leave her with baby soft feet and hands. This might be one of the most hydrating masks out there (perfect for dryer weather).
Incorporating this one product a couple times a week before bed will make such a big difference! She’ll be so happy you introduced her to this product!
30. Smokey Wine Glass Set
Nothing is more chic than colored wine glasses! They still have the elegance of a classic wine glass, but their shape and color make them a lot more interesting. Pair this with a bottle of their favorite wine (you can always ask your boyfriend) and you will win best present!
31. Volumizing Dry Shampoo
Say what you will about dry shampoo, but powder is so much easier to work with than a spray!
This one comes with a brush so she can get the dry shampoo exactly where she wants it and make sure it blends out really well (also gives such good volume!). Her hair might not feel the cleanest, but it will look just as good as it did right after she washed it.
32. Match Cloche
A match cloche is so stylish and something she can use to elevate the decor in her home and (of course) light candles with the matches inside. There is something about lighting a candle with a match vs. an electric lighter that feels so much more luxurious!
33. Travel Brush Set
These brushes are insanely good! And even though they’re meant for travel, she’ll want to use them as her everyday brushes (because they’re too good to save only for travel). The case is also a great way to store them and make sure they stay nice and aren’t being tossed around her makeup bag.
34. Tea Tasting Assortment
If she’s into tea, she will really appreciate this gift! It’s a great way for her to try out new teas in a fun way. And who knows, she might even find her new favorite tea! And as a tea enthusiast myself, I can confidently say that this box has some of the best teas (the quality alone is amazing!).
35. Waffle Robe
This waffle robe is so soft and the perfect thing she can throw on when she gets out of the shower to keep her warm and cozy. Everyone needs a good robe!
36. The Neck Serum
This serum is so underrated! If you think applying skincare to your neck isn’t important, think again! Your neck is just as important as the skin on your face, and if you don’t properly take care of it, it will show! Gifting her this serum will help her neck to look just as flawless as her face.
37. Interior Design Coffee Table Book
This coffee table book is the perfect decor display piece, and actually has some super helpful home tips to upgrade your space – along with some amazing visuals to go with it. They’re so much fun to flip through and she’ll actually get a lot out of this one!
38. Superfood Hand Wash
A good hand wash actually makes for a really good gift, especially when you don’t know what to get the person. This one smells so fresh and leaves your hands so soft and nourished – coming from a clean brand too! They might want to keep this one away for the guests and just for themselves.
39. Temperature Control Mug
If she doesn’t already have a temperature control mug, she needs one! There is nothing better than enjoying your favorite morning beverage and having it actually stay hot without having to take multiple trips to the microwave. She’ll never want to go back to using a regular mug again. Game changer!
40. 1,000 Piece Puzzle
Puzzles are always so fun, and when you’re finishes, you have a beautiful masterpiece (and you feel super accomplished). And this pool day palm beach puzzle is so pretty!
I feel like the best puzzles always have beautiful scenery. It almost makes you feel like you’re actually there – and it’s so rewarding watching it all come together!
41. Scalp and Body Scrub
This scrub is amazing – and she can use it for both her scalp and body!
The best way to achieve baby soft skin and cleanse your hair from all of that product build-up is with a good scrub. It gets rid of all of the dead skin and will make you glow! This will quickly become one of her favorite shower products!
42. Warm Gloves
Anything Lululemon is almost automatically an amazing gift. And if she lives somewhere cold, or you know she travels to cold places, a cute pair of gloves that will keep her hands nice and warm would make for a great gift!
43. Leopard Brown PJ Set
If there is one thing every gal loves (no matter her age) it’s a good PJ set! Matching PJs automatically makes you feel so put-together (it’s the little things!).
And of course the leopard print is just too cute. But if you think leopard print isn’t really her style, there are a lot of other patterns and colors to choose from.
Don’t sleep on GAP, they seriously have some amazing PJs!
44. Lip Plumping Gloss
This is not your average lip gloss! First off, the color alone says luxurious and elegant. Second, this gloss makes your lips look so good!
It’s not one of those ones that makes your lips look too puffy, it just gives them the perfect plump that will make people ask what you’re wearing. She’ll get so many compliments when she wears this gloss!
45. Elegant Contrast Scarf
A chunky scarf is the ultimate winter accessory! This one would match with so many outfits (you can never go wrong with neutrals) while still being stylish. And it’s so soft!
46. Room Spray
When her room and home need a quick refresh, she can spray this mist and it’ll automatically transform her space. It’s such a calm, natural scent, but it makes a huge difference! You want your home to smell as good as it looks! That’s where real elegance takes place.
47. Striped Pickleball Paddle
If she’s not already a pickleball fan, a cute paddle is a great way to get her started! Pickleball is always such a good time – whether you’re playing competitively or just want to have a little fun. Once she tries it, she’ll become hooked! And with a paddle this cute, she’ll be playing ins style!
48. Monogram Serving Board
When I don’t know what to get someone, this serving board is one of my go-tos because everyone always ends up loving it.
It’s adorable (obviously) and it’s the perfect size for appetizers and charcuterie! Don’t be surprised when next time you come over she’s using this board to serve snacks! It’s too pretty to stay in the cupboard!
49. Body Retinol Serum
Just like you use serums on your face, if you want your body to have that same glow, add in a serum before your moisturizer! This one has retinol in it so it’s super good for anti-aging and giving your skin a healthy glow. She won’t know how she went so long without using this product!
50. Primally Pure Shower Steamers
Shower steams feel so luxurious! For the busy mom who doesn’t always have time to relax with a nice bath, a shower steamer is her next best option! These will immediately turn her shower into a spa. When she needs to de-stress and add a little bit of self-care into her day, she’ll reach for these steamers!
51. Single Rose Box
Infinity roses are such a thoughtful gesture! The only problem is, getting a bouquet of them is wildly expensive! But even a single infinity rose is such a sweet gift. And every time she sees it, she’ll be reminded of how amazing of a person (and gift giver ;)) you are.
52. Fitness Mat
A good fitness mat is the perfect accessory for at home workouts, or studio classes like yoga or pilates. And this one folds up nicely so she can also use it as a workout block for planks and other exercises. It’s multi-purpose!
53. Cocktail Shaker Set
This cocktail shaker has everything she needs to turn her kitchen counter into her very own mini bar. Making bar-level drinks is a whole lot easier when you have the right resources!
