Whether she's the mom who wears pajamas to drop off her kids at school or lives in leggings, if Mom is into fashion, jewelry and accessories there are plenty of fantastic gift options to choose from at Amazon for Mother's Day.

This sweet "Mama" necklace is perfect for any mom, whether a new mom or an experienced mom of multiple kids. The elegant design features the word "Mama" and is available in gold, silver or rose gold finishes that are all hypoallergenic. As an added bonus, the brand donates a portion of every sale to a charitable organization.

Pajamas are a great gift idea, but only if they're super comfy! The Ekouaer Long Sleeve PJ Set is a popular and affordable set you can conveniently shop at Amazon and feel confident about their comforter hanks to their super soft, stretchy viscose fabric.  The pj's are available in sizes XS-XXL with 45 color and printed options to choose from. If she prefers something light then consider the highly rated Satin Cami and Shorts set.

For a luxury pair of pajamas, consider Eberjey's Gisele PJ Set: they're the ultimate pair of chic and luxurious pajamas they'll wear in bliss for years to come and the best pajamas for women we tested. Made from a soft and sustainable fabric these flattering and comfortable pajamas are machine washable and come in 19 beautiful color options.

Eberjey also makes our best robe for women (thanks to its buttery soft fabric and cozy fit), and it is also conveniently available to shop for Mom at Amazon. This robe can be worn any time of the year because the cotton modal jersey fabric is thick enough to keep Mom warm yet breathable for warmer months, so it's a versatile gift that will be worn for years to come.

What goes great with a robe? A pair of slippers, of course. If she loves staying in and getting cozy, she'll definitely appreciate a nice pair of slippers. She'll lounge in ultimate comfort with a pair of plush Scuffette slippers—our favorite slippers for women because of their super soft sherpa and great quality.

High-waisted leggings are a must-have wardrobe essential for any busy mom. The Syrinx High-Waisted Leggings are a bestseller on Amazon and known for their soft, stretchy fabric and ultimate comfort with a wide waistband and tummy control. They're available in an array of over 20 colors and come in sizes small-XXL.

Keep Mom's wardrobe refreshed with the latest trends. This cute Half Zip Pullover Sweater is casual enough for everyday wear and comes in more than 20 solid and striped styles. It's made for a comfortable, loose fit with ribbed knitting. Pair it with the leggings above or Mom's favorite jeans.

Kate Spade's Gold-Tone Alphabet Pendant necklace is a wonderful gift choice to make any mama feel extra special. Choose her initial to be placed on the front of the gold-tone alphabet pendant necklace with "one in a million" engraved on the other side. The necklace comes on an 18-inch chain and there's a strong chance she'll never want to take it off.

If Mom loves to travel often and love jewelry, this is a fantastic gift idea that is both thoughtful and useful. The Plush Velvet Travel Jewelry Organizer is offered in nine gorgeous colors and features a soft and luxurious velvet material. The jewelry organizer is perfect for safekeeping while traveling, compact in size yet spacious enough to hold multiple earrings, rings, necklaces and bracelets.

If there's anyone who could use a little extra pampering, it's the mom in your life. Moms are always taking care of others, so spoil her this year with some of the best self-care and beauty gifts we could find at Amazon like our favorite bath bombs and best foot massager.

If she loves soaking in the bathtub or needs to decompress after a hectic week, she'll love our favorite set of bath bombs. The top-rated LifeAround2Angels Bath Bombs Set comes with 12 fizzy, colorful and moisturizing bombs. We loved their pleasant scents and how they didn't stain our bathtubs as most other bath bombs do. 

If they prefer showers, consider these pure essential oil shower bombs. Seven pleasant scents such as lavender, rose, grapefruit and eucalyptus are included in this Jojowell aromatherapy gift set. To enjoy this relaxing aromatherapy, simply place a tablet on the shower floor away from the heavy stream and allow the shower steamers to release their natural essential oils.

If your mom loves wearing makeup, she'll love putting it on in front of one of one of our favorite makeup mirrors. The Deweisn Lighted Makeup Mirror is our favorite affordable makeup mirror because it provides perfect views and lighting for picture perfect makeup application.

If you're looking to splurge on a makeup mirror, check our our best overall makeup mirror, the Glamcor Riki Skinny. It has excellent lighting, a large viewing area, and is portable so she can travel with it and avoid terrible hotel bathroom lighting.

For the mom who is obsessed with makeup and organization, this gift combines the best of both worlds. This acrylic organizer by Ikee Design is one of our favorite makeup organizers because of its clear, easy-to-search design, handles that are easy to open and close and mesh padding in the drawers to keep products safe and secure.

Moms tend to spend a lot of time on their feet. This is why the Ivation Foot Spa massager is a highly recommended self-care gift for Mom that is also good for the sole.  This baby is fully loaded with features like water jets, adjustable heat and massage rollers which is no wonder why it also proved to be the best overall foot massager we tested.

If she loves taking long, relaxing baths then she'll absolutely adore our best bath tray of 2023. This Royal Craft Luxury Bathtub Caddy is made from natural bamboo, expands to fit across any tub and features all the compartments needed to store a phone, a candle, even a glass of wine and more. 

Mom might already have a hair dryer, but if it's not the Revlon One-Step, she's not doing it right. This is the one she needs in her life—and it's also approved by our beauty editor. She tested the hairdryer and found that it absolutely does live up to the hype, especially if you want salon-quality hair from home—in half the time. 

For a higher end option, consider the Shark HyperAIR blow dryer with "intelligent heat control" for fast drying and no heat damage. It comes with several attachments for all hairstyles, a negative ion generator and a cool shot button to make sure her style stays put.

We could all use a little more sleep, but for the girlfriend who really values her beauty rest, you can equip her with the best sleep mask we've ever tested. We found Mzoo's Sleep Mask to block out light, avoid pressure on the eyeballs and liked that its strap was adjustable and stretchy.

Is Mom in desperate need of a manicure but doesn't have time to fit a nail salon appointment into her hectic schedule? Well, there's a gift for that type of situation: The Jodsone Gel Nail Polish Kit. The 35-piece set comes with 32 bottles of classic gel nail polish, 1 bottle of base coat, 1 bottle of top coat a UV nail lamp plus some manicure tools. It's a great gift for a mom who likes always having her nails done but doesn't have the time or budget for regular appointments.

Upgrade your mom's home and kitchen gadgets this Mother's Day by shopping top-tier cooking tools from Cuisinart and Staub, plus elevate her living space with some stylish home essentials including an essential oil diffuser and a weighted blanket.

Does your mom sip iced coffee all year round even during frigid temperatures? When it comes to coffee and Mom prefers it cold, this is one of the best gifts to consider. The Takeya Cold Brew Coffee Maker has been our favorite cold brew coffee makers for a while now because of its user-friendly design. It also doesn’t hurt that it makes some of the tastiest coffee (and tea) we've ever sipped.

When it comes to aromatherapy, the Asakuki Portable Essential Oil Diffuser is an amazing and beautiful device. We named it our favorite affordable diffuser for it's even diffusing and quiet system. It's sleek, affordable and works well so Mom can relax.

If Mom could use a new set of knives in her busy kitchen, this is a great gift idea to consider, especially if she's been wanting to upgrade her kitchen decor to include some gorgeous aesthetic pieces. Featuring clean white handles and a modern grey storage block, the Cuisinart 15-piece Knife Set will look gorgeous on any countertop and the knives are made of high-carbon stainless steel blades, so the quality is not compromised just because they look so pretty.

Any mom who cooks regularly could use some extra spices, and this Kamenstein Revolving Spice Set is the perfect choice. The set comes with a two-tiered, revolving storage tower and 16 jars conveniently pre-filled with spices including an assortment of popular everyday favorites like garlic salt, basil, thyme, rosemary and more.

Anyone who loves to entertain or anyone who eats cheese as their main course will appreciate one of our favorite charcuterie boards. We love how the Royal Craft Bamboo Cheese Board is carved out to keep nuts or other small snacks in place, and for how the handles make it easy to carry, serve or transport to parties.

For a mom who cooks on the daily, a trusty nonstick pan is non-negotiable. We highly recommend the OXO Non-Stick Open Frypan. This pan topped our list of best nonstick pans of 2023 for its superb nonstick qualities and comfortable handle. It's dishwasher safe, scratch resistant and best of all, easy to clean.

Air fryers offer a way to make a healthier, home-cooked version of fried food. The Ninja Speedi SF301 is the best air fryer we tested and would make a great gift for a mom who needs to save time in the kitchen. From frozen fries to chicken wings to even donuts, this gadget can make it all in a fraction of the time.

A Dutch oven is a must-have for anyone who loves to cook. Mom can use it to prepare virtually any meal, so if she doesn’t already own this kitchen essential, it's the perfect time to get her one of our favorites — the Staub Round Cocotte. This version has a generous 4-quart size and a glass lid so Mom can keep an eye on what's cooking.

If you’re shopping for someone who enjoys cooking and loves Italian food, a pasta maker is the gift you want to give them. Our favorite pasta maker is the Marcato Atlas 150 which was both easy to use and made restaurant-quality pasta every time. With this gift, expect to be invited over for a deliciously, carb-loaded homemade meal.

Shaped specifically for champagne and classic cocktails, a coupe glass is a stylish gift option that is made to impress any mom who loves her cocktails and champagne. This set of four Vintage Art Deco Coupe Glasses offers timeless elegance and come packed in a gift box with a silky, pink interior.

Mama needs coffee and she needs it now. Help her brew the perfect cup of coffee in no time at all with our most versatile single serve coffee maker, the Keurig K-Café Smart Single Serve Coffee Maker. We loved it for how it can make coffee and lattes that can be customized right from a smartphone with a fun and easy-to-use app, plus the milk frother works like a charm.

If the mother figure in your life prefers tea, we have got you covered with our favorite glass tea kettle which is just gorgeous and makes a stunning gift for any tea drinker, plus it's super affordable. We found the Hiware Glass Teapot to have a graceful gooseneck spout and the included stainless steel infuser makes it a great choice.

Long days as a busy mom call for some rest and relaxation and one of our best weighted blankets may be just the thing she needs to unwind. We think the YnM Weighted Blanket is the best budget-friendly option, finding it to be enjoyable to sleep and relax under. 

if you're looking to splurge a bit, consider the Nuzzie Full Knit Weighted Blanket which features a knit texture to make it a bit cooler and more appealing than most other weighted blankets. It is a bit bulkier than others we tested, but it is machine-washable, comes in 15-, 20-, and 25-pound options,  plus with eight colors to choose from it's easy to find the perfect match.

If you're looking for a Mother's Day gift for someone who prefers plants over anything or anyone, we've got you covered with some great gifts for the plant mom in your life.

Consider upgrading your mom's tech products this Mother's Day by shopping for Apple AirPods Pro, our favorite Kindle and more. These gadgets are sure to please every mom — especially those who love to stay on top of all the latest tech trends. 

Help Mom maximize her precious time with an Apple Watch Series 8. It can track her workouts, make calls, send text messages, emails, scroll social media, listen to music, navigate directions, track her temperature and even call emergency services if a car crash is detected. This kind of versatility makes it our top smartwatch pick for 2023. If they're not an iPhone user, consider gifting the fabulous Galaxy Active Watch 5.

Apple’s AirPods Pro are the best wireless earbuds for iPhones our experts have ever tested. If you’re shopping for a lover of all things Apple, they would adore a pair of the upgraded version, which we also loved. They feature active noise cancelation, a comfortable design and a transparency mode.

If the mother figure you're shopping for enjoys the latest tech devices, Apple's ninth-generation 10.2-inch iPad offers great performance and versatility so she's sure to get plenty of use out of it. If you really want to spoil Mom, add Apple's Smart Keyboard and an Apple Pencil to your cart and make Mom's day.

Whether she loves true crime stories or steamy romance novels, moms who love to read will appreciate a Kindle with access to endless titles and genres. The Kindle Paperwhite is the best Kindle we've ever tested because it's waterproof, has a ton of storage and doesn't strain your eyes thanks to the e-ink. It also makes a great travel companion.

The Fitbit Charge 5 is our top pick for fitness tracking devices. We loved its comprehensive fitness tracking, sleep tracking as well as built-in GPS. Plus, she'll receive calls and texts on it, making it easy to communicate even when she's on a run. 

An Echo Dot speaker makes for the perfect assistant to a mom who could use a little backup with keeping all the schedules on track.

Does your mom always rush everyone into the car, only to realize that she can't find her keys? Help her get to to where she needs to be on time with a Tile Mate, a Bluetooth tracker for your keys or other frequently forgotten items. She can simply ping her keys from her phone to find her missing things in an instant. If you're shopping for an Apple fan, there's also the extremely popular Apple AirTags.

We admit that sometimes the best gift is one they can choose for themselves from their favorite retailer or restaurant. So if Mom is extremely picky and you wanna avoid having your gift returned, a gift card is the way to go and will always be appreciated.

Starbucks for the caffeinated mom, Nordstrom for the fashionista mama, Sephora  for the makeup-loving mom and GrubHub for the hungry mother are just a few of the endless options you can purchase for Mom conveniently at Amazon at a range of prices to fit your budget.
