Mother’s Day is on Sunday, May 12, and it’s time to find the perfect gift for your one-of-a-kind mom. But in a sea of subpar options, the challenge is real. Fortunately, we’ve scoured our favorite brands to find picks that will take your gift-giving up a notch.
From a terrazzo cheese board to a fresh-smelling eucalyptus shower spray, these affordable gifts say more than just “Thanks, mom.” Our picks are beautiful, yes, but they are also practical; moms everywhere deserve decor that is both functional and pleasing. Whether you want to upgrade your mom’s kitchen tools or help her cultivate a spa-like bathroom, here are 20 home-oriented gift ideas for Mother’s Day.
Spruce up mom’s garden
Mother’s Day just happens to fall in May, which makes the garden a top choice for gifts. If you’re looking to splurge, you can always gift mom a new outdoor furniture set, but let’s face it, that’s probably not in the budget for most of us. Instead, we’ve focused on reasonable-but-cute ideas that will spruce up your mom’s outdoor spaces in no time. Need even more options? Check out our garden shopping guide, over here.
Gilded Lantern
Available in three sizes (votive, small, and large), these sparkly lanterns create a lovely ambiance that will fit in with almost any type of decor. You’ll thank us when mom’s evening soirees are the talk of the town.

Help mom get some sleep
From new moms to grandmothers, everyone does better with a good night’s sleep. Curbed editors have a lot to say—just read this—about products that make for the best sleeping, and we’ve included some of our favorites, below.
Tree Napper Weighted Blanket
Weighted blankets can help you get a better night’s sleep, but so many of them look, well, like a weighted blanket. That’s why we like the Tree Napper from Bearaby. With a chunky knit feel and using a fabric made from the wood pulp of eucalyptus trees, the blankets from Bearaby are both environmentally responsible and stylish. Four different color options are a bonus.
