SPEAK LIKE ONE mommy myself, I know the best gift you can give your mother is You. That you plug in your hybrid or board an inexpensive vehicle electric bikeyou should see it if you can (we understand if you think plane travel is scary, However). If you want to give her a gift, now is the time to think about it, because Mother’s Day is approaching on May 12. Running out of ideas? We’ve got a bunch of gift recommendations below.
Your mother may be the person who loves you most in the world, but she probably has a lot of other things to do, like traveling for work, working out, or hanging out with friends. I checked in with other WIRED parents for their favorite picks. These are our best gift ideas to help moms work from home, mark up their books, or delve into the world of gaming in their free time. While you’re at it, check out our many other buying guides, like Best Gift Ideas for New Parents, Best Podcasts for Kidsor the Best tablets for kids.
Updated April 2024: We’ve significantly revamped this guide, removing older picks and replacing them with newer ones, including the Creative Aurvana 2, Tom Bihn Nomad Tote, and more.
