Best Gifts for Mom in 2021

Personalized photo gifts, such as this calendar, are always a hit. Each month, Mom gets to enjoy a new photo. Amazon offers lots of design options so you can create a calender to suit any taste and decor.

The latest and greatest earbuds from Apple simply fly off the shelves. If you can afford the price tag—and the wait—Mom will love listening to her favorite music or podcast with these premium noise-cancelling earbuds.

Microwave this thermal bead-filled mask for 30 seconds for a spa-like experience. The gentle heat and weight of the mask are incredibly soothing and calming. I use one before bed and it helps me fall asleep and stay asleep.

Nespresso has cornered the market on easy, fast, and delicious coffee. Brew five different sizes from a 1.35-ounce espresso to a 14-ounce big mug of a coffee with a touch of a button. Buy the machine alone, bundle the machine with a milk frother if Mom loves lattes, or bundle it with coffee capsules.

If Mom's into tea, she'll love Tea Forte's Loose Tea Starter Set. This comes with a Kati Cup tea infuser cup and ten single-serve pouches, sized just right for the Kati Cup. The included tea blends are: Belgian Mint (herbal tea), Caramel Nougat (black tea), Lemon Lavender (herbal tea), Oasis (green tea), and Cherry Amour (herbal tea).

For the mom who loves makeup and beauty, Allure's subscription box would be a fun gift. Each box contains six or more luxury beauty items, at least two of which are full-sized. Buy her a single month, or a whole year of beauty and pampering.

This soft, warm, generously-sized plaid blanket scarf is right on trend. The 59-inch scarf can be tied around the neck, or draped over the shoulders and worn as a cape. Choose from a dozen different colorful plaids.

Who doesn't love the warm glow of candle light? This set of four scented soy wax candles comes in a gift box. Choose from six different sets, each with different scents and designs.

Pamper the hands that take care of the family. I love Bliss Kiss' proprietary blend of oils, which moisturize the cuticles and soaks in quickly so fingers don't feel greasy. This convenient travel kit includes a cuticle oil pen, glass nail file, lotion stick, and lip balm.

Mom can wear the names of her beloved children close to her heart with this pretty sterling silver and Swarovski crystal necklace. Personalize it with the children's (or grandchildren's) names, birthstones, and a disk that says, "my loves" or "my blessings".

I love my Kindle Paperwhite E-reader; I can read it in bed without any lights on or I can read it outside in bright sunlight. I load up my Kindle with e-books before (or during) vacation and never have to worry about lugging books around. I get most of my e-books free from my local library.
