21 Gifts To Give Your Mom That Aren't Unbearably Predictable
Because the woman who gave you life deserves at least that.
For moms who think they're Mrs. George
This mom definitely has Snapchat, Twitter and Instagram. She probably helped you write your Tinder bio the last time you guys had a wine night.
1. This v honest card
Cool moms understand we don't all have the cash for a fancy gift, but this card with a heartfelt checked apology or this blanket apology one will make her laugh, and they say that's the best gift of all, right?
2. A Birchbox subscription
Keep mom looking young with a monthly subscription box of personalized beauty products she'll love (or not love and pass on to you!)
3. An awesome Lorelai Gilmore-themed mug
Cool moms are totally in the know about Lorelai and Rory and as pumped as you are for the "Gilmore Girls" revival, so remind her how much she means with this mug or this cute version. (And get its Rory counterpart for yourself, too!)
4. A modern floral phone case
It's floral and moms tend to love that, but it's also modern and kinda funky.
5. A fruity flavor-infuser water bottle
Of course, if your mom is up on the trends, she may be putting jalapenos in her infuser instead, but no matter what, she'll have the fanciest water out there.
For moms who think they're Julia Child
Thanks to this type of mom, you inevitably gain at least 7 pounds every time you visit home. Not like you're complaining—it's a welcome break from all the pizza rolls you eat alone in your studio apartment.

For all of those foodie moms, these bowls will make all her blog pics that much better.

8. A hand-cranked butter churner
All the truly foodie moms will love the chance to make their own natural butter with this hand-cranked churn and infuse it with all sorts of flavor and spices.

For moms who think they're Molly Weasley
You know, just the ultimate MOM—she's always wearing eccentric sweaters and calling you endearing names like, "chickadee."

No more dripping tea bags, thanks to this creative little mug!
14. A book of heartfelt letters
Each of the letters in this book has a theme and lets your mom know just how much she means to you. This is the kind of gift moms live for.
15. A shorter book of heartfelt messages
This little fill-in-the-blanks book has the same sentiment as the "Letters To My Mom" book but it's significantly easier to fill out because you only have to come up with one word per page. Perfect for middle children.
16. This handy tracking device
Moms have enough going on without having to worry about spending 15 minutes looking for their keys every time they need to leave the house. With this handy tracker, they can find them (or any other often-lost item) with the Tile app.
