01. Sentimental Gifts for Mom

Magnetic Photo Frames

Price: $18.99 for 12
Category: sentimental gifts, gifts under $20

Best for: moms who love memories more than things; turning the fridge into a highlight reel of family life

These are some of the most meaningful gifts I received from Eric years ago. He filled them with family photos and decked out our fridge. Every morning I enter the kitchen, I’m greeted with photos of some of our favorite memories as a family.

Each pack is under $20 and contains 12 magnetic frames, so they’re super affordable Mother’s Day gifts. You can split the pack and give some to your mom and some to your grandma. We know they love updated photos of the kids and grandkids!

Each picture tells a story, and you can add to this gift every year with updated photos and family memories.

02. Non-Toxic Skincare

The Works System by DIME

Price: $160, use code EATPLAYSAY for 20% off
Category: self-care gifts

Best for: the mom ready to upgrade from “whatever’s in the drawer,” busy moms who still want that effortless glow

All moms deserve gifts for self-care. There’s nothing like a good skincare routine to make a mom feel special, like she did something for herself.

The Works non-toxic skincare set is a part of my daily routine and has been for over 2 years now. It only takes a few minutes to cleanse, tone, and moisturize, and my skin has never looked better!

The bundle includes cleanser, toner, day cream, night cream, hyaluronic acid and hyper glow serum. All of these products are EWG-verified and made with non-toxic ingredients.

03. Self-Care Gifts

Primally Pure Lip Care Kit

Price: $56, Use code EATPLAYSAY for 15% off
Category: self-care gifts, for the mom who has it all

Best for: moms who love clean beauty with visible results; stocking stuffer energy with a Mother’s Day upgrade

This is one of my favorite products Primally Pure makes and by far the best lip balm for cracked lips. Do you know a mom who has it all? Get her this!

Made from clean ingredients, the kit includes tinted lip balm, lip oil, and lip polish. You get exfoliation, hydration, and natural lip plumping all in one set. It has all you need for a lip care routine.

04. Cotton Pajamas

As warmer weather comes along, it’s time to switch out the long-sleeve flannel pajamas for a warm-weather option. But make it cotton for comfort and breathability!

If you’re not sleeping through the night, I am a firm believer that being comfortable and feeling cute in matching pjs makes the sleep deprivation more bearable. Sleep in style!

These sets are perfect for slow mornings and lounging around the house, too.

Best for: making sleep deprivation feel slightly more glamorous, the mom who loves a matching set moment

Napbound Cotton Pajamas

Price: $34.99
Category: cozy and practical gifts

This comfortable short sleeve pajama set is perfect for spring and summer. It comes in lots of colors and prints, so you’ll find something to match every style and personality.

Did I mention the shorts have pockets?

Patterned Cotton Pajamas

Price: $34.99
Category: cozy and practical gifts

This classic-style pajama set is so cute and comes in the cutest floral patterns. They’re 100% cotton and get softer with every wash. It’s the perfect loungewear for slow mornings at home.

05. Slip-On Sneakers

Lima Kiziks

Price: $119.95
Category: practical gifts

Best for: moms who value comfort and convenience; the multitasking mom who doesn’t slow down

These hands-free slip-on sneakers are the most practical gifts for moms. Moms are constantly on the go, always getting things done! These shoes make it easier when trying to get out the door.

I love mine for everyday wear – errands, going to the park, teaching at Co-op. And they make getting out the door so much easier! They’re so comfortable, you forget you’re even wearing them. They even have a wide fit option!

06. Comfy Slippers

Bombas Sunday Slippers

Price: $85
Category: cozy gifts

Best for: moms who kick their shoes off the second they walk in, elevating everyday lounging

Say hello to some of the most comfortable slippers that actually stay on. Memory foam soles and sherpa-lined, it’s like walking on a cloud. For real, I love mine so much. They’re great house shoes, too.

Bombas Saturday Suede Slip-Ons

Price: $110
Category: cozy gifts

Best for: the mom who refuses to sacrifice comfort for errands; cozy at home, presentable in public

When it comes to Bombas slippers and slip-ons, you can’t go wrong. These are more of an UGG dupe and still the most comfortable! 

When they say “sole of a shoe, heart of a slipper,” nothing is more accurate. These are like slipper shoes that you can wear outside of the house.

07. Hip Carrier

Tushbaby Hip Carrier

Price: $85-115 depending on style, use code “EATPLAY” for 15% off
Category: practical gifts, gifts for new moms

Best for: saving mom’s back, and her sanity; making errands, travel, and life a whole lot easier

Save mom’s back! The Tushbaby is a hip carrier for baby, or a toddler hip carrier up to 45 lbs.! This is one of the products I always recommend for moms because it changed everything for me. I don’t go anywhere without mine.

It’s the gift that keeps on giving. Use it from the time your baby is sturdy enough to sit up with support until they’re a full-fledged toddler who still wants to be close at all times.

Support your back, keep a hand free to do other things (or help another kid!), and stash your stuff. It’s one of my travel essentials as well!

08. Personalized Bracelets

Custom Letter Bead Bracelets

Price: $39-68 depending on style
Category: personalized gifts for mom, Mother’s Day jewelry

Best for: moms who love a personal touch; a subtle statement with a lot of meaning

I LOVE these for personalized gifts for mom. They’re handmade in Georgia and make meaningful gifts with a thoughtful message. You can choose colorful, silver, or gold beads.

I have the gold-filled and they last forever! I wear them in the shower and never take them off. These bracelets can be made in any size and are customizable. They’re some of my favorite pieces of jewelry that I wear daily.

09. Dimmable Night Light

Egg Night Light

Price: $39.99
Category: gifts for new moms, travel essentials, gifts under $50

Best for: moms navigating late-night feedings; travel-loving moms who want a familiar glow anywhere

A new baby and overnight feedings and diaper changes are made easier with this egg night light. Dim it just enough to be able to see, but not wake the baby (and yourself) with bright overhead lights.

Forget about fumbling in the dark, trying to find what you need. All you have to do is flip it to turn it on. I’ve been using mine again during night feedings with Natalie!

While this dimmable night light makes one of the best gifts for new moms, it comes in handy for other things as well! We travel with ours so we have a soft night light in unfamiliar places.

10. The Best Diaper Bag

Dagne Dover Diaper Bag

Price: $185-250 depending on size
Category: gifts for new moms, travel essentials, practical gifts

Best for: the mom who likes function and fashion; hands-free zipping while juggling kids and errands

Where do I begin? This is the best diaper bag, and I’m saying this as a mom who tried a lot of them. It’s a great option for moms of multiple kids because the large size holds so much.

It’s spacious and comfortable to wear. The sleek design that can transition to daily use well after the baby/toddler phase. And, you only need one hand to operate the zippers. For busy moms, that’s a total win.

We use ours for daily outings and travel. It fits everything we need for 3 kids ages 5 and under!
