Best Mother's Day Gifts For Wife Overall

The Ultimate Self-Care Set
Let mom, wife and purveyor of quiet luxury Gwyneth Paltrow inspire your Mother’s Day gift with this Goop kit that features her very best beauty essentials. After trying out the dry brush, Amino Acid shampoo, Amino Acid conditioner, body polish and body oil, your glowing wife will thank you.
A Beautiful Bouquet Of Fresh Blooms
Beautiful flowers never go out of style, and this arrangement from Pomp will absolutely brighten her Mother’s Day. Featuring white and pink roses, sunflowers, ruscus and leafy greens, it’s one of the prettiest assortments that you’ll come across and makes a simple, sweet statement.
An Artful Box Of Truffles
As far as gift-giving goes, it literally doesn’t get any sweeter than a box of chocolates. These artfully decorated truffles feature a solid, crunchy dark chocolate shell and flavored interiors that vary seasonally. Each box comes with 10 to 20 flavors that are colorfully decorated to perfection.
A Chic Initial Bracelet
MOST POPULAR
Jennifer Meyer Mini Uppercase Letter Bracelet
Your wife’s not a regular mom; she’s a cool mom. And cool moms wear jewelry from Jennifer Meyer, like this delicate 18kt yellow gold bracelet. Featuring a small block uppercase letter, it’s the perfect addition to her arm stack or worn on its own. There are also some very sweet mom-themed necklaces from the label that are worth a look.
A Colorful Pickleball Set
If your wife loves pickleball—or if she’s been talking about taking it up as a new hobby—treat her to a fancy new set of paddles. This one from Nettie allows you to choose from ten vibrant patterns and comes with two pickleballs and two sweatbands. Maybe you’ll even get to join in on the fun.
The Hair Tool Of Her Dreams
Dyson Airwrap Multi-Styler Complete Long
There’s a reason that Dyson’s Airwrap tool consistently sells out. A time-saving and effective styler, it’s truly life-changing for any mom’s beauty routine. The latest version of the device has been re-engineered with rotating attachments that style long hair in both directions (a blissful update for anyone who owned the original).
A Hydrating, Non-Sticky Lip Gloss
If your partner can’t get enough of the latest and greatest beauty products, Ourself’s lip conditioner will become her new purse staple. The nourishing balm delivers a pillowy, glossy effect without being sticky, so she can smooch you and the kids as much as she wants after applying.
A Framed Gallery-Worthy Photo
If you think she’d love a professionally-framed family photo, consider Shutterfly to be your one-stop-shop. All you have to do is upload an image to the site, choose your frame, sizing and mat preferences, and voilà! It arrives ready to hang, so she can appreciate the sweet and thoughtful gift as soon as you choose the right wall space.
A Candle Trio Curated To Her Preferences
Fill this custom bundle of Boy Smells candles with three of twelve unique fragrances. From woody scents like Hinoki Fantôme to sweet ones like Vanilla Era to collaborations with the one and only Kacey Musgraves, each are made from an all-natural coconut wax and beeswax blend as well as hand-poured and hand-labeled just for your honey.
A Timeless Crossbody Bag
If you’re looking to really spoil your wife this Mother’s Day, treat her to a Bottega Veneta bag that she’ll keep forever. Whether you opt for neutral camel, classic navy or a pop of color, this crossbody will seriously never go out of style. She’ll take it everywhere from school pick-up to date night, making it worth the splurge.
A Next-Level Perfume
Bulgari’s new Allegra Ma’magnifica scent is floral and woody in all the right ways. It has notes of sandalwood and rose—and would you just look at that majestic bottle? It’s practically a work of art. She’ll love looking at it as much as she’ll love wearing it.
A Dreamy Neck And Shoulder Massager
If your wife carries tension in her neck or shoulders (and really, who doesn’t?), this gift will delight her. Homedics’ heated shiatsu massager simulates finger pressure at three speeds and in two directions to get out all of those pesky knots. Since she’ll no longer have to turn to you for a massage after a long day, it’s really a gift for everyone.
A Do-It-All Diaper Bag
If your wife is a new mom, she’ll appreciate a diaper bag that has all the special features she needs without sacrificing style. This chic Calpak backpack is made of water-resistant fabric, features lots of mesh storage, insulated bottle pockets and even a 14-inch laptop sleeve so she can work from anywhere.
A Sleek At-Home Matcha Maker
Cuzen Matcha Maker Starter Kit
For the wife who loves fresh matcha but doesn’t always have time to run out to her favorite café to indulge, Cuzen Matcha’s innovative machine is about to become her new go-to. It stores, grinds and whisks organic matcha leaves to create a high-quality, freshly-ground tea and the starter kit includes three sample blends, so she can see which one is her favorite for creating that beloved afternoon latte.
A Decadent Body Butter
Henry Rose Torn Body Cream
Six of Henry Rose’s fan-favorite fragrances can now be fully slathered on, thanks to the brand’s latest venture into the body cream realm. This scent, Torn, is a rich vanilla bean blend that combines both floral and spicy notes, making it an easy—and skin-nourishing—choice. You can also create your own set that includes a full-size fragrance and a mini body cream of your choice, if you want to give her options.
A Ring That Spells Out Your Love
Every piece of jewelry from Foundrae feels special, and this one is particularly meaningful. Handcrafted in 18kt yellow gold, the coin-edge design of this thick band features the word“Amate,” the Italian word for “beloved,” and will remind any wife and mom just how cherished she is every time she slips it on.
A Clutch For On-The-Go Must-Haves
Whether she needs a pouch for storing everyday essentials in her go-to tote or could use something to organize smaller items when packing for your next family trip, this clutch from MZ Wallace will keep everything safe. It comes in seven colors, but the brand’s white boucle fabric is especially great for summer and even looks cute if carried on its own as a clutch.
A Happy Hour-Ready Bottle Of Rosé
While it’s true that a mom’s work is never done, what better time for her to sit back and relax with some vino than Mother’s Day? Toast your wife with a glass of Whispering Angel’s crisp rosé, then let her leisurely enjoy another while you put the kids to bed. Cheers to her (and motherhood)!
A Seriously Sweet Sleep Mask
The latest drop from Slip is decked out in a pretty petal print that’s perfect for Mother’s Day. Unlike traditional sleep masks, this silk one is contoured around the eyes, giving her lashes (and even lash extensions, if that’s her thing) a bit more breathing room. Throw in the matchingpillowcaseand she’ll thank you for leveling up her nighttime routine.
A Comfortable Pair Of Statement Jeans
If your wife has every cut of denim under the sun, she’ll love adding Everlane’s latest to her collection. These wide-legged beauties wing out at the knee and taper off at the ankle, creating a cool and effortless silhouette. 98% cotton keeps them classic and 2% elastane ensures all-day comfort.
A Mix-And-Match Linen Bedding Set That Gets Better Over Time
You may want to get your wife involved in picking the colors for this gift. Although it ruins the surprise, it’s half the fun! Opt for one color or mix-and-match your choice of solids, stripes and checkers for the duvet, flat sheet, fitted sheet and pillowcases included in this set. Each piece is crafted from 100% stonewashed French flax linen that gets even softer wash after wash.
A Beloved Moisturizer To Care For Her Skin
Get ready for your wife to gasp upon opening a gift from Drunk Elephant. The brand’s reputation for splurge-worthy and effective products proceeds itself. This moisturizer is formulated with nine signal peptides to help restore hydration and bounce, helping her skin glow the way it deserves.
A Luxurious Mulberry Silk Sleep Dress
Nothing says everyday luxury like a 100% organic mulberry silk t-shirt dress. This one by Clementine Sleepwear has an oversized fit that’s comfortable for napping and lounging, plus the silky fabric actively repairs skin and restores hydration while you rest.
A Minimalist Luxury Bag She'll Have Forever
The mini version of Loewe’s signature bucket bag is perfect for everyday items like her phone, wallet, keys and lipstick. Carried by hand or by its removable cross-body strap, it has a recognizable design without being ostentatious.

A French-Made Copper Cookware Set
Who hasn’t dreamt of owning a sparking copper pot set to hang lovingly above their range? This one from French brand Mauviel comes with a sauté pan, sauce pan and stew pan, each with with a lid, as well as a classic frying pan.

Your wife’s yoga, pilates and jogging routine just got all the better thanks to Forme’s Power Bra, which is designed specifically to improve posture at rest or in motion (it’s even FDA-registered). It achieves alignment thanks to six varied tension fabrics and eight double-fabric panels, but it’s not all science. It’s also a great-looking addition to any active or athleisure wardrobe.
