Let’s just be real for a second. Mother’s Day is sweet, and we truly appreciate any thoughtful gesture.
But if we’re being honest, there are a few things we really hope for — things we’ve saved on Instagram, things that pop up in our group chats, or those TikToks we nod at while folding laundry thinking: Yep, that. Exactly that.
So, if you’re looking for ideas that will actually make her feel seen (and not end up in the back of a drawer), here’s a list of gifts moms are genuinely excited about this year.
