Away Gift Card

Away’s luggage is the definition of covetable, with starlets like Sydney Sweeney, Emrata, Charli XCX, and Elle Fanning resorting to its hardside suitcases for travels both near and far. With this gift card, Mom will be able to snag her very own, well-deserved carry-on upgrade (we recommend Away’s top-performing Aluminum collection, which she’s bound to fall head over heels for).

The Bouqs Co. Three Months of Flowers

We’ll let you in on a little secret: There’s not a mom out there who wouldn’t appreciate a lush bouquet of flowers (she’s told you this all your life, probably). That being said, The Bouqs Co. is a no-brainer choice for floral delivery, and now you can let her decide on the farm-fresh arrangements that will arrive to her home with the brand’s online subscription. Its premise is pretty simple — three whole months of the finest floral pickings, helping her unlock the joy of spring even in the depths of winter.

Our editors are rarely seen without our On sneakers in tow, but since the brand’s actual shoes are no longer guaranteed to arrive before Christmas, we urge you to lock down this virtual gift instead. The good news is that digital gift cards from On never expire. The better news? This will be your salvation if you somehow forgot Mom’s shoe size and don’t want to ruin the surprise by asking.

Sephora Gift Card

It’s a well-known fact that all moms love Sephora, so much so that shopping at the mega beauty retailer is a Maslow-level need for them that must be met at all costs. In other words, if you happen to run out of gift ideas, there’s this digital card ripe for the picking. You can load it up with enough cash to get your mom multiple viral mascaras, that anti-aging serum all her book club friends are raving about, and a mini-sized sunscreen that can be layered under makeup.

Visa Gift Card

Nothing is as fool-proof of a gift as a Visa card that can be applied at practically every store your mom loves to shop at. The only downside of this “Amazon’s Choice” purchase, with thousands of five-star reviews behind it, is that it has a $5.95 purchase fee attached. But that’s nothing compared to the bliss the woman who gave you life will experience as she puts the card to good use.

Coach Chain Tabby Shoulder Bag 30

At its fall 2025 runway show, Coach sneakily unveiled an fresh take on the quintessential Tabby — with more room for daily essentials, a trendy slouch, and readily apparent gold or silver hardware. The Chain Tabby Shoulder Bag is more than just good looks: It feels supple due to its soft grain leather, has three detachable straps for endless styling options, flaunts a subtle sheen, and can even hold an iPad (we weren’t joking about this designer handbag‘s spaciousness). Chances are, your mom already has this fancy slinger bookmarked online, so you should make her day by investing in the hot-ticket item she might never end up getting for herself. Spoiler alert: Moms are so worth it.

Lancôme Lip Idôle Squalane-12 Butterglow Hydrating Lip Balm

In its beige Don’t Be Chai shade, this hydrating, tinted lip balm from Lancôme fueled “Only Murders in the Building” actress Da’Vine Joy Randolph’s nude lip look at the 2025 Academy Awards — a lip aesthetic that, in fact, dominated multiple red carpets in the past year. If the mom in your life loves a hydrating lip balm that leaves a shine without ever being sticky, irons out vertical lines, and offers buildable color, she’ll consider this top Lancôme beauty product a winner and a half.

PS: One of our editors tested it out and had the following to say about the bestseller: “Beyond a more-than-pleasant smell, the tinted balm also had the most balanced texture I’ve experienced in a long time: something that was ultra-rich and creamy (it’s called ‘Butterglow,’ after all!) but didn’t have the stickiness that’s part of some hydrating lip products’ DNA. Indeed, the balm was lightweight, and I never felt like I was smacking my lips each time I opened my mouth.”

We’re only going to ask you this once: What’s not to love?

In 2023, we deemed HigherDose’s Infrared Sauna Blanket the best luxury sauna blanket on the market because of its ability to evenly distribute heat, easy-to-clean surface, and tangible results in just one session. If she’s a wellness junkie, your mom will be hot for this top hit that keeps going in and out of stock at major retailers like Nordstrom.

Everyday reviewers also report shinier tresses and easier detangling — something your mom might be missing in her current hair care routine.

Let that convince you to click “add to cart” and get this baby delivered before Christmas morning through Amazon Prime.
