34 Mother's Day Gifts I'd Buy Myself as a Mom of 2
It's that time of year again! Mother's Day is just around the corner, and whether you're shopping for someone special or putting together your own wish list for the celebration ahead, consider the work done because I've got you covered. As a mom of two myself, I love receiving gifts for Mother's Day—whether it's a handmade card, framed photo, or splurge piece—but I might actually enjoy giving them more. Is there any better feeling then handing someone an item you know they'll just love, enjoy, and actually use? I live for that satisfaction, which is why I live for putting these gift guides together! Below, you'll find 34 gifts, from small gestures to big-ticket items, for every type of recipient, celebration, and budget. Simply keep scrolling to start shopping my edit.

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. Upon joining, she was a senior about to graduate from business school at USC. Fast-forward to 2025, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was just starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content and her Trust Me—Buy This newsletter. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to neutral, classic pieces but will always make an exception for something colorful or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a party is dressing up for one. On her downtime, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
