Let’s be real: Moms deserve more than just a “thanks” and a last-minute candle. Whether it’s for Mother’s Day, her birthday, or just because she’s amazing, finding the best gifts for moms means thinking a little deeper. What will make her feel pampered, appreciated, and maybe even a little glamorous? And what’s something she’ll love but probably wouldn’t buy for herself?

We’ve rounded up 14 thoughtful gifts that moms will actually use and enjoy — including a few items from Stripes Founder and Chief Creative Officer Naomi Watts. From cozy upgrades to skin-saving serums to chocolate worth savoring, these picks go beyond the basics and tap into what moms really want.



1. Stripes Beauty The Crown Pleaser


This luxurious scalp treatment is basically a love letter to Mom’s hair. It nourishes, strengthens, and leaves everything smelling amazing. A little self-care in a jar that turns her shower into a five-star spa experience. She deserves nothing less.

2. The Pill Wine Cooler

For the mom who knows her way around a good bottle of wine, this cooler is a total game changer. Sleek, modern, and super functional, it keeps her favorite vino at the perfect temp — so she can sip in style whether she’s on the patio, at book club, or just treating herself after a long day. No wonder it’s one of Naomi’s top picks.

3. Clare V. Totebag

Naomi loves Clare V. because the brand is all about effortless style and practicality. Whether Mom is running errands, heading to brunch, or jetting off for the weekend, a Clare V. tote is the perfect plus-one. Roomy enough for all her essentials (and then some), but still polished and cool enough to elevate any outfit.

Robes are boring and expected. Except this robe — because it isn’t just any robe, it’s the robe. Soft, warm, and machine washable, this cult favorite is like wrapping up in a cloud. Moms can wear it sipping morning coffee or while winding down with a book and a glass of wine.

9. Fran’s Chocolates – Gray Salt Caramels

Few things say love like artisan chocolates. Fran’s Chocolates are beloved by foodies and celebrities (yes, including Naomi), and their Gray Salt Caramels in dark chocolate are downright addictive. Made in small batches with rich, buttery caramel and a sprinkle of sea salt — they’re the indulgence Mom didn’t know she needed.

10. Our Place Always Pan 2.0

This do-it-all nonstick pan has become an internet sensation, and for good reason. It sautés, steams, braises, and looks gorgeous on the stove. If Mom loves to cook (or just loves pretty cookware), this is a home run.

11. Eberjey Gisele Pajama Set

Soft, breathable, and effortlessly elegant — these pajamas are a serious upgrade from the mismatched tee-and-sweats situation. The kind of gift she wouldn’t splurge on for herself, but will adore wearing. And the lightweight fabric will keep her cool all night.

12. A Beautiful Journal + Prompted Notebook

If your mom is reflective, creative, or just needs an excuse to put down the phone, a gorgeous journal can become her favorite new ritual. Look for one with daily prompts, gratitude tracking, or mood check-ins like options from Papier or Intelligent Change

13. Weighted Blanket by Baloo Living

For the mom who does it all — and never stops thinking — this breathable cotton weighted blanket can help calm the nervous system and promote deeper sleep. It’s a hug in blanket form.

14. Fresh Flower Subscription

Why gift flowers once when you could send them monthly? Choose a flower subscription service like UrbanStems or The Bouqs Co. and let her enjoy fresh blooms on the regular. It’s a gift that keeps on giving.
