Still can’t find what you’re looking for? Check out some of our other gift guides here.

You don’t need a reason to show Mom you love her, but birthdays and Mother’s Day are good excuses to get a great gift for the number one woman — or women — in your life. From your wife to your mom to your aunt to your grandmother, there’s a perfect gift out there for each one of those special relationships. It’s just a matter of knowing where to look.

This year Mother’s Day falls on Sunday, May 14, which gives you plenty of time to consider your options. Think about her interests: Does she love gardening, camping, exercise or cooking? Is she looking forward to any big summer travel plans? If you’re stumped, there are a lot of good staples to lean on, like flowers, candles, perfume and jewelry. And don’t worry, we found all the best options for you. Or you can get her something that she’s able to use every day, like a new piece of tech, luxurious loungewear or a workout accessory.

So you want to get her a present she’ll actually enjoy? (Aside from the flowers you’re already getting delivered to her, of course.) We found more than 56 Mother’s Day gift ideas to get you going, from newly-released products to fan-favorite classics that are sure to please.
