We get it. Your mom is one of the fun moms. The kind that’s quick with a dirty joke and deserves a truly unique Mother’s Day gift. We’ve curated a list just for them, and their out-there personalities.
If your mom is a total normie, don’t fret! There’s plenty of offerings here to diversify her life too.
Best gifts for mom that you can get online
1) A deck of yoga cards
Keep mom on her A-game even when she can’t make it to her usual vinyasa class with a deck of yoga cards. This particular set is written in both English and Sanskrit so she’ll get a bit of a vocab lesson in with her routine!
Price: $22.97
2) Rosetta Stone
Help the world traveler in your life learn a new language before they embark on their next vacation. Rosetta Stone and its companion app are available on every device from computers to smartphones. Because of that, the lucky recipient of your Rosetta Stone gift will be able to polish their Italian anywhere, from their bedroom or a scenic Tuscan villa. It’s no surprise that over 12,000 corporations, 9,000 non-profit organizations, and 22,000 educational institutions worldwide count on Rosetta Stone when it comes to dishing out language know-how. Beginning courses take as little as 120 hours to master, on average. New students can choose from one of 25 languages and finally become bilingual with three, six, 12 and 24-month subscriptions. Eager learners can take full advantage of live coaches and speech recognition technology to make the experience as smooth as ever. From now through Mother’s Day, learning a new language costs as little as $7 a month for a 24-month subscription.
Price: Varies
3) Polaroid Snap Instant digital camera
No matter how tech savvy mom may pretend to be, there’s no stronger force in the world than nostalgia. The Polaroid Snap works just like the ones she used when you were a kid. It’s far more satisfying than any iPhone selfie could ever be. There’s also space for a 32GB flash drive, should they wish to jump between digital and analog.
Price: $77.99 (regularly $89.99)
4) Organic Matcha kit
Health crazes come and go, but the nutritious and gorgeous pulverized tea known as Matcha has been going strong for 1,000 years now. It’s a mainstay of Japanese tea ceremonies, foodie Instagram pics, and countless smoothies that are actually good for you. This kit will let mom dip her toes in the tasty tea craze. Not only is there 16 oz of Matcha powder, but there’s also a measuring spoon and even an electric whipper to make it frothy.
Price: $33.11
5) Joule sous vide
This new cooking method may seem farfetched (boiling things in bags?), but it’s the most foolproof way to make restaurant quality eats at home. Unlike other sous vide systems, you won’t need any other special tools or equipment save for a few spare Ziploc bags. It connects to any smartphone with a companion app full of recipes including perfect succulent steaks and fluffy cheesecake. For moms who binge Chopped and MasterChef, this is the one gadget that will make their culinary fantasies reality.
Price: $199.99
6) Mother of Pearl RFID blocking wallet
This ultra-slim wallet is perfect for the mom who’s always on the go. It may be small enough to slip into a pocket, but don’t let its size fool you. This bad boy is mighty strong–protecting from even the sneakiest of thieves and their RFID scanners.
Price: $23.90
7) Garden gloves with claws
Gardening is a rewarding hobby for moms everywhere. But nobody gets a bounty of fruits, veggies, and herbs without getting their hands dirty. These gloves make this chore an absolute joy. Sharp claws affixed to the gloves tear into dirt like a hot knife through butter. They also double as super-villain flair, just in case mom wants to take a crazy turn in her golden years.
Price: $7.99 (regularly $9.99)
8) Microwave popcorn popper
Popcorn is a tasty treat, but more unhealthy than a drive-thru menu if you buy the stuff in the bag. Popping the old fashioned way works but is a little more Little House on the Prairie than most people can handle. But a quick, healthy treat can be had with this simple gadget. Simply put in popcorn kernels plus optional seasonings, and in less than three minutes, mom’s got enough snacks to get through Eat Pray Love. And because it collapses, it takes up almost no space.
Price: $18.50 (regularly $20)
9) An Audible gift certificate
If mom is a story-lover, an Audible gift certificate is bound to make her heart skip a beat. She’ll be able to download any three audiobooks of her liking (per month of her membership) and also receive 30% off any audiobook after that–all of which stay in her library forever (even if she doesn’t renew the membership). And all she needs to access it is a smartphone or tablet and a version of the Audible app!
Price: $15+
10) An exotic garden kit
From succulents to forbidden fruits to herbs, Planters’ Choice has a variety of growing kits that’ll make any green thumb’s face glow with delight. Each kit contains four different plants as well as everything she needs to get these babies sproutin’!
Price: $19.99
11) ASUS Chromebook

The 11.6-inch screen and 10-hour battery life make it perfect for surfing and streaming.
Price: $218.99
12) Coffee Gator’s pour over coffee kit
Pour over coffee isn’t just for pretentious, tattooed baristas. It’s so accessible anyone can make a beautiful and Instagram-able cup, even dear old mum.

Comes with a gorgeous carafe and a re-usable filter–all mom needs is the coffee!
Price: $26.99

Price: $19.30
15) Roomba robot vacuum

As players progress, they’ll be instructed to drink more and more, so be sure to have plenty of vino on hand.
Price: $34.99
17) Bossypants by Tina Fey
There’s no one that doesn’t love the comedy stylings of the real-life Liz Lemon. Whether it’s her stint on Saturday Night Live, starring and writing in 30 Rock or her classic Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt cameos, Tina Fey never disappoints. This goes double for her autobiography. Bossypants will make mom laugh, cry, and likely leave her inspired.
