Here at the Cut we’ve been thinking long and hard about what to gift our moms. Besides coming up with a handful of gift guides, we also have a few other ideas in mind. This year we’re gifting pajamas from Kyiv-based brand Sleeper, luxe beauty products, practical and cute sneakers you’ll want to borrow from Mom, and even a cookbook favorite from Ina Garten. Read on to see what the Cut editors are gifting their moms this Mother’s Day.
Nomad Charge Mount
I call my mom three times a day, more or less. Sometimes her phone isn’t synced to her car, so she ignores my calls. Driving is prime “talking on the phone” time! So, to always have her available, I’m going to gift her this phone mount so the phone is always charged and prepped for picking up calls. —Bianca Nieves, senior shopping editor
$80 at Nomad Goods
Teva 80s Original Universal Revive
My mom loves the Teva sandals I gifted her years ago. She loves how they are so comfortable and go with all her wardrobe. So it’s time for an upgrade. She loves anything with bright prints, and these limited-edition ones fit the bill. —B.N.
$55 at Teva
Loewe + ON Cloudtilt stretch recycled-knit sneakers
I always get my mom sneakers because she’s a comfort girl. This year, I’m elevating her style a bit and gifting her On’s sneaker collab with Loewe. She’ll still be comfortable and also the chicest person in her office. —Asia Milia Ware, fashion and beauty writer
$490 at Net-A-Porter
Nest Hub Max Smart Display with Google Assistant
My mom has an obsession with saying “Hey, Google” and demanding my Google Nest play something for her, so now I’m getting her her own for her nightstand. —A.M.W.
$230 at Best Buy
Sacheu Lip Liner STAY-N Peel Off Tattoo
My mom made a TikTok this year to keep up with my life, and now she’s on #BeautyTok and can’t stop talking about this viral peel-off lip-liner stain. Will she know what she’s doing? I doubt it, but TikTok has convinced her that she needs it. —A.M.W.
$12 at Ulta Beauty
MZ Wallace Pickleball Tote
My mom loves pickleball, and I love supporting her hobbies, which is why I’m gifting her this specially designed bag from MZ Wallace that has a sleeve for her racquet, 12 interior pockets, a detachable pouch, and padded nylon handles. —Hanna Flanagan, shopping editor and writer
$285 at MZ Wallace
Ferragamo Secret Watch
My mom isn’t only my mom, but my ultimate best friend. She deserves the moon, so anything I get her is never enough, no matter how extravagant. I’m known to give her gifts that, I quote, “rival that of any husband.” And this watch is something I know, as a fellow fashion obsessor, she will cherish forever. —Cortne Bonilla, fashion market editor
$1495 at Ferragamo
Sleeper The Bloom Party Pajama Set
Ukrainian designers Kate Zubarieva and Asya Varetsa founded Kyiv-based brand Sleeper in 2014. Many of their 120 mostly female employees have remained in Kyiv and some have joined the local army, while the brand is still paying their salaries. This year, to support their efforts trying to keep their brand and staff alive amid a devastating war, I will give my mom a pair of their roomy viscose and silk pajamas. —Joanna Nikas, deputy style editor
$390 at Sleeper
Senteurs d’Orient Fleurs d’Oasis The Oil
This Senteurs d’Orient body oil has been on my gift list for years because it soothes my skin and I smell like a bouquet of flowers every time I lather it on. It includes 14 plant-based oils like safflower seed, macadamia, jojoba, and olive oil, and it smells like bergamot, jasmine, and orange blossom. —J.N.

Modern Comfort Food: A Barefoot Contessa Cookbook
We are not really a cookbook family — everything from her arroz con gandules to her “Dominican spaghetti” are stored in her brain — but recently my mom has “gotten into” “new recipes.” Which has mostly consisted of me quickly reading off ingredients from whatever’s the top Google result for “white mac-and-cheese recipe” over the phone or her jotting down notes during a morning cooking segment. To make things easier, I’m gifting her a copy of Ina Garten’s Modern Comfort Food, as well as tickets for a cooking class together at Sur La Table for some hands-on practice. —Jen Ortiz, deputy editor

StoryWorth Subscription
Last year for Mother’s Day I got my mom a Storyworth subscription, and I’d definitely recommend it if your mom, like mine, is the keeper of family history and lore. Every week for a year, Storyworth sends her a question about her family or childhood or some such (there are presets and you can also write your own). She replies with an email, which is shared with me. And at the end of the year, all of the stories are bound together in a book. She can upload photos to include as well, and I can order extra copies for my siblings. —Rachel Bashein, managing editor
$99 at StoryWorth
Harry & David Classic Favorites Gift Basket
My mom is very picky, so I try to get her exactly what she asks for so she’ll actually enjoy it. She brings up these gift baskets from Harry & David all the time. My grandmother got one as a gift years ago, so this will be the year I finally gift her one. I have the Classic Favorites Gift Basket in mind, which includes a mix of fruits, chocolates, and cheese that she will hopefully share. — Chinea Rodriguez, shopping writer
$80 at Harry & David
Philips Stainless Sparkling Water Maker
My mom has not stopped asking for a soda-maker in the last few months, which is fine because I want one too. I’ve settled on this sleek option from Philips (it comes in pink too!) that I’ll be dropping by to use on weekends. —C.R.
$60 at Amazon
Oribe Côte d’Azur Refining Hand Scrub
I splurged on this luxurious Oribe hand scrub years back and use it every so often as a little treat. It smells amazing and makes my hands insanely soft. It comes with a gold device to squeeze out all that valuable stuff inside, which makes the whole experience feel extra-fancy. My mom loves investment pampering, so I’ll be gifting it to her alongside their hand cream. —Danielle Cohen, blogger
