1. Flower Tea Towel in Fiesta Red

Want to give handmade Mother's Day gifts, but have moved past the popsicle stick and handprint stage? This beautiful kitchen towel is handcrafted, with environmentally-friendly, house-mixed inks and makes a unique mother's day gift.

2. Mikasa Cheers White Wine Glasses, Set of 8

These wine glasses are fun, plus they eliminate the need for wine charms (though nobody says you can't also use those, because they're cute). Pair the glasses with a bottle or two of her favorite wine and plan a girls evening with all the awesome women in your family, whether they're related by blood or family by choice.

3. I Love You Mom Picture Frame

Get one of these cute engraved wood picture frames for your mom and one for your grandma. The natural wood is a classic style that will fit any room and you can choose from two different sizes.

4. Leather Journal Writing Notebook

This gorgeous handcrafted journal is perfect for giving your mom to take on that once-in-a-lifetime trip or to use for everyday notes and sketches.

5. Home Advantage Wood Recipe Card Box

One of the best gifts you can give your whole family is that of collecting your families history and traditions. This recipe box is one way to gather family dishes passed down through the years.

For Mother's Day, you might spend time with your mother or grandmother in the kitchen, then put those recipes together in this box for each of them, for other family members, and for yourself.

6. Comfee 1500 Multi Function Electric Hot Air Fryer

Kitchen gifts are almost always appreciated and this bestselling gadget is a winner in many kitchens. My mom swears by her air fryer, using it several times a week, if not every day. She hasn't deep fried food in years, but with the air fryer, she cooks perfect fish and sweet potatoes and her own tortilla chips.

7. Personalized Long Distance Coffee Mugs

As someone who still refers to my mother's house as "home" even though I've never lived there, I love the simple message and graphic on this personalized gift. You can put any two map locations on the coffee mug and your mom is sure to love the thought.

8. Magnolia Table: A Collection of Recipes for Gathering

If you know someone who is a fan of Fixer Upper, Joanna Gaines' new cookbook is a must-have for her. Magnolia Table was just released and features recipes inspired by Gaines family favorites as well as some from the couple's new Waco restaurant of the same name.

Pair the cookbook with a pretty cake plate from the Hearth & Hand collection at Target so that she has something on which to display her new favorite desserts.

9. Keter Easy Grow Patio Garden Flower Planter 

If your mom has a green thumb, this planter is a great idea. It can be used both indoors and outdoors and it's designed to be easy to use either sitting or standing.

10. My Three Treasures Personalized Charm Necklace

This personalized charm necklace is a lovely gift for any mom or grandmother, and there's a version with four discs if you need a bit more space for names.

11. Keter Outdoor Patio Cooler Table

Moms tend to stay super busy. If you want to give your mom the gift of a day at the beach even when she doesn't have time to get to the beach, start with this extra chill patio table. She can sit out in the backyard sipping her drink of choice as it stays cold and catching up on all her reading (that is, taking a relaxing afternoon nap in the shade).

12. DC Comics Wonder Woman Oversized Tote

Because even if she doesn't technically have superpowers, every mom is a wonder woman. This tote bag is cute and fun, and even if your mom is Team Marvel instead of Team DC, she'll love this sturdy bag big enough to carry a wallet, a pair of shoes, and a lasso of truth.
