Your mom literally gave you everything, and the best thing you can think to give her is… a bathrobe? Come on, you’re better than that.
Listen, there’s nothing wrong with gifting a comfy housecoat (especially some of our favorites from brands like Brooklinen and Cozy Earth), but the problem is you’ve done it before. Once, twice—maybe even three times. There’s a reason Saturday Night Live made an entire skit about “mom getting a robe year after year.”
If your only idea was just vetoed, you’ve come to the right place. Not only do I shop for a living, but I’m also the oldest daughter in my family. That means I’ve been planning vacations, helping with homework, and, of course, choosing gifts “from the kids” every single holiday season for decades.
Below, you’ll find some of my favorite picks for gifts for your mom in 2025. From top-rated earbuds that’ll finally give her some peace, to the hottest viral bags, to luxe-looking jewelry that doesn’t come with a luxury price tag—these are the best presents to put under her tree.
Go ahead: browse, buy, and restore your status as the favorite child. Trust me, it’s not that hard.
