Mother’s Day for U.S. residents is coming up on Sunday, May 9th, and it remains the biggest day of the year to single out and spoil your mother the way she deserves!
You know the drill: get flowers, maybe something sweet, and jewelry is always great touch, but whatever you get, make sure it conveys your gratitude and appreciation for the woman who helped you grow into the person you are today.
Below we’ve compiled some favorite options, both expected and novel, that we think will please a plethora of mamas this year. Whether she’s an earth mother type who loves toiling in the garden, or a fancy gourmand who enjoys the more delectable treats in life, there’s something here that says “I love you, Mom, and I’m thinking about you today and every other day.”
As always, you can trust our independent reviews. We may earn a commission from some of the retailers, but we never allow this to influence selections, which are formed from real-world testing, expert advice and our own research. This revenue helps to fund journalism acrossThe Independent.

Ultenic U11 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner
We’re currently working on a full review of this amazing vaccum, but so far, the testing process has been remarkable.
The convenient 4-in-1 construction makes this a breeze to store and snap together as needed for different purposes. In a pet-filled household (like the one it’s being tested in), the handheld vac has proven super useful for quick cleanups of animal hair and spilled food–common accidents when dogs and cats are around.
The cordless stick vacuum is perfect for running across wood and carpet flooring, too, and everything sits neatly and compactly in a corner so there’s no hauling around heavy, corded vacuums or messing with excess parts. And don’t get us started on the touch screen! It’s a perfect gift for anyone who loves a tidy home.

“Empowering women locally and globally” is the goal of this monthly gift box, so mother’s day is the perfect time to gift it to anyone in your life who wants to shift focus to women-owned businesses and celebrate the artisanship found in many of their products. Each box is different, but all contain three products from the following categories: jewelry, accessories, home goods, ceramics, artwork, exotic spices, and more. The receiver will also get a card that details the products and their maker, giving Mom a great bundle of gifts that will mean something unique to her.
