Celebrate Mom: The Ultimate Mother's Day Gift Guide

As Mother's Day approaches, it's time to start thinking about how to make your mom feel extra special. While there are countless ways to show your appreciation, we've compiled a list of thoughtful and unique gift ideas that are sure to make her feel loved. From indulgent vacations to practical services that make her life easier, our selection has something for every type of mom.

The standout piece is the Sleep Robe - a lightweight layer that is perfect for any home occasion. Made with a blend of Tencel and organic cotton, it is not only soft to the touch but also sustainable. Crafted with care and expertise, it's made of 70% Tencel and 30% organic cotton for maximum comfort.

Designed with functionality in mind, the Sleep Robe comes with a double-layered hood, extra-wide sleeve cuffs, mid-thigh patch pockets, and a removable belt for added convenience. The Sleep Robe is made in the United States. $90+

Nollapelli

Provide your mom with a rejuvenating and restful night's sleep with Nollapelli, a wellness linen company that offers a luxurious bedding collection with 2-for-1 benefits in its sheets. Rated as 2021's Best Cooling and Softest Sheets by the Sleep Foundation, their cooling sheets are refreshing to the skin and ultra-soft to the touch, ensuring better skincare and sleep.

Their patent-pending sheets are 200% more breathable than cotton, blending nature and science into yarn to support healthier hair, skin, and sleep. We love this luxurious resort-quality sheet and pillowcase set. Despite sounding fancy, their signature bedding is easy to care for with a simple machine wash and tumble dry. No extra work for mom is a win, making this easily our editor's all-time favorite bedding. $250+
