Your Mom has enough cute mugs with all her kids’ names. Get her something she’ll treasure long after the holiday. Here are a few of our editors’ picks.
Kai Fragrance always makes our gift guide because its intoxicating scent smells good on everyone. Pick from the Perfume oil roll-on ($54) or maybe a candle? Mom will love you for it.
Hi Beautiful You Skin Perfecting Coverage.
Hi Beautiful You is all about celebrating your natural beauty with confidence. While traditional tanning and self-tanners often come with harsh chemical side effects, the Skin Perfecting Tint ($48) serves up a radiant, sun-kissed glow—no sun required. With multi-tasking formulas infused with skincare benefits and Buildable BE YOU Technology, you can glow your way, naturally, effortlessly, and safely. (We’ve also discovered it’s perfect for evening out tan lines!) It’s like you, just better.
What Mom doesn’t like photos, especially of their children or grandchildren? Heirloom Video Books creates a personalized photo and video-playing book, perfect for gifting. $49 for a 10-minute book; $69 for a 20-minute one; $85 for an hour book.
Upload up to 1 hour of your personalized videos and photos directly to the Heirloom online builder. Each video book features a 5” HD screen with a speaker to play the video sound (or add music). Wrapped in a beautiful hardcover book with a choice of 16 cover options or you can design your very own. (We got the Wedding one since our daughter is getting married in August, and it came with beautiful gold lettering against a pristine white background.)
Each one comes with a fully rechargeable battery, is reloadable, and just like the memories captured inside – it’s made to last. You don’t need any special tech, wifi, or internet to play; perfect for grandparents who still struggle with the TV remote to their Smart TV. Simply open the book to play the high-quality video.
It’s like giving the gift of memories.
You Mom needs a little luxury in her life after raising your rugrats. The Korean beauty brand Medicube has the coveted Collagen Night Mask we swear by, or splurge a little and gift her the Medicube Booster Pro mini (read our review here) for $96. It’s like a beauty wand for your skin.
Pili Ani Ageless Concentrate. From $55.
The next-generation Pili Ani Ageless Concentrate blends nourishing Pili and Elemi Oils (only found in the Philippines) with nature’s most potent actives. Now supercharged with Vitamin C, known for its brightening, collagen boosting and antioxidant properties, and Phyto-Retinol, a plant-based retinol alternative that’s gentler on the skin, Mom will love the way it hydrates and minimizes fine lines.
