Especially ideal for the mom who rarely has a self-care day, this foot massager brings the spa to her very own home.

The NVRGIUP Candle Warmer Lamp is a unique and fairly inexpensive gift idea that will be loved by anyone who appreciates a relaxed ambiance and a good scented candle. The candle-warming lamp is a fairly new innovation that provides atmospheric lighting via electricity while warming a candle placed directly under the bulb. In this way, the candle emits its pleasing aroma without having to be lit—a huge plus for anyone who may forget to blow out the flame on their way out the door.

As expected of all Birkenstocks, these shoes have an anatomically formed cork and EVA latex footbed for superior stability and comfort. There’s even an adjustable buckle to offer either a little more room or a tighter fit. They come in three colors, and sizes from 4-4.5 all the way up to 12-12.5.

And as far as stylish pajamas go, this beautiful and comfortable End-on-End Cotton Long-Sleeve Set by J.Crew is right up there; your mom is bound to love them. These cotton pajamas are loose and comfy with no tight areas, and they come in sizes XXS to XXXL (they even run a little large for extra roominess).

If she doesn’t have one yet, it’s time to convert your book-loving mother to a Kindle. Sure, there’s nothing quite like the look, feel, and smell of real books, but it doesn’t take long for even the most ardent skeptics to understand its benefits, like lying in bed in the dark and still being able to read or traveling with just one book-sized device that can hold hundreds of novels instead of weighing down luggage with several books. She can also change font size on a whim if she’s forgotten her glasses, click on an unknown word and be instantly shown its meaning, and make notes, highlights, and annotations. Did we mention it’s waterproof and won’t get soggy when she’s in the bath, pool, or at the beach? Trust us: She’ll soon be absolutely obsessed.

The Adyrescia Chunky Knit Blanket is a beautiful item that will draw in all the compliments. It can be a couch or bed throw but also makes an extremely cozy, heavy blanket that your mom can drape over her when reading by the fire. The blanket is made by hand and is surprisingly durable (it won’t pill or shed). It’s even safe for throwing in the washing machine and will still stay intact. The chenille material is luxuriously soft, and the blanket comes in 14 different colors, including cream white, sage green, and caramel brown.

One of the most thoughtful gifts that you can get for mom is something personalized. With this Oak and Luna bracelet/anklet, you can select between one and four letters to personalize this piece. You can put “mom,” her initials, or the first letters of your siblings’ names. You can also choose the chain length and the material (like sterling silver, 14-karat solid gold, and various gold vermeil and gold-plated options). There’s also the option to add diamonds to the bracelet. Keep in mind that the final price is dependent on the metal, the number of letters, and whether or not you add diamonds.

For the mom who doesn't just want to throw on any old sweatpants, the Haven Sweater Knit Crewneck is comfy and chic. The soft and lightweight top, made from recycled materials, can be paired with the matching bottoms for a complete set.

Every family has at least one old recipe that has been passed down through the generations. If you’re lucky enough to still have the original handwritten version penned by a grandmother, great-grandmother, or great-great-grandmother, turn it into this wonderfully sentimental custom cutting board and gift it to your mom for Christmas. Each board is crafted by hand and made from durable and high-quality wood. It’s then coated with a protective oil for extra longevity. While the item is hardy enough to be used as a chopping board, Mom could choose to use it as a charcuterie serving tray or keep it on display as a sentimental keepsake.

If she likes to sleep in, she needs to keep the light out. This bamboo sleep mask from Cozy Earth features a fluffy filling for a comfy night's sleep, so Mom wakes up feeling refreshed. Choose from eight different colors and rest assured Mom has a 100-night trial to make sure she loves her gift.

If Mom’s not an espresso fan, you could opt for the set of six full-size London mugs that are suitable for coffee, tea, hot chocolate, mulled wine, or anything else that tickles her fancy.

Flowers are always appreciated, but for Christmas, you’ll want something with a little more staying power. The money tree is an air-purifying plant effective at clearing toxins from the air, and it’s safe to keep at home if you have pets. The plant is often used in feng shui as it’s said to bring positive energy and good luck. It’s also claimed that it reduces stress and anxiety. As a bonus, this tree has a beautiful braided trunk and comes with a pot in either stone, clay, charcoal, slate, or indigo.

A good set of sheets is always appreciated, and this one outperformed all of the sheets we tested (and trust us, we have tested a lot—nearly 200 sets, to be exact). We were very impressed by its softness and breathability, and its no-wrinkle design is a plus, too.

If she loves nothing more than ending her days on the couch watching her favorite movies or TV shows, your mom will love the Comfy Original oversized microfiber and faux-shearling wearable blanket.

There’s a front pouch for keeping hands warm, and it comes in more than 12 different colors and designs.

The lid doubles as an extinguisher, and each candle can burn for around 70 hours.

A cooking class is a fun and meaningful experience that you can share together.

The machine does all the hard work and makes fresh dairy-free milk in under five minutes—even if she’s run out, she can quickly and easily whip up a new batch in less time than it takes to run to the store. The best part is that the milk is free from extra preservatives and additives that many store-bought options come with.

If you can’t take your mom to the spa, bring the spa to her. The Knack’s Herbivore Calm Experience Gift set contains all the tools that will put your mom in total relaxation mode.

The product is designed and made in the U.S. and comes in three colors—white, sand, or stone.

A pair of winter boots makes an excellent Christmas present because they come at the right time for inclement weather.

The tool is super easy to use and creates consistent cookies, thanks to the lever that releases the same amount of batter onto the baking tray every time. The tool is transparent, so you can see how much batter is left, too. The whole thing is BPA-free and comes apart easily for quick cleaning. The 12 disks, each with a different cookie pattern, come with their own case to keep them in neatly, and there’s also an extra holiday cookie disk set you can add that’s perfect for the occasion.

Picking out perfume can be hard for anyone, especially when you’re buying it for Mom.

Scentbird’s three-, six-, and 12-month subscriptions allow the recipient to sample an 8-milliliter bottle of a designer perfume per month, which is enough for about 120 sprays. She’ll be able to try out expensive perfumes for less and figure out what scents she really likes (the brand generates options to suit her tastes from a quiz).
