Hey! When writing gift guides, we do our best to ensure that the products we feature will arrive in time. Shipping times can always vary depending on multiple factors, but due to COVID-19, being able to gauge whether or not something will arrive before Mother’s Day is even more complicated than normal. The majority of retailers are experiencing shipping delays, so even if you double-check shipping information to ensure that your gift will arrive in time for the 10th, we can’t guarantee that it will arrive on time, so best to order ASAP!

A plush throw blanket so she can get all nice and cozy while curling up on the couch with her favorite book or to watch her favorite movie or television show.
Target
Promising review: “Soft, warm, cozy, well-made, and the perfect size for one or two people. I washed it before using, and it laundered perfectly. No shrinking, fading, or shedding. There was very little lint on the dryer filter, and that’s unusual for a new blanket. This will wear well and last, and you can’t beat the price. Highly recommend.” —TexasMom
Price: $16.99 (available in six colors)

Promising review: “This kit is really cool. You get a little bit of everything that Burt’s Bees makes for hands and feet. I didn’t care for the lip balm or the honey hand cream, so I gave them to my mom. She loves them. I like that this kit included things I wouldn’t have purchased on my own, like the coconut foot cream. I absolutely adore it.” —MissItaly1989

A scented soy candle for the perfect accompaniment on a cozy night — now all she needs is to light the fireplace, eat some comfort food, and of course, drink some wine.

A Jade roller that can help soothe skin, reduce puffiness, and promote fluid drainage. Mom will feel less stressed, which is always good.
Target
To use, she should apply a serum or moisturizer to clear skin and follow these roller movements: Start at the center of the forehead and roll towards the ear, repeating on both sides. Using the smaller end of the roller, gently roll the lids under the eye from the corner of the eye to the ear on both sides. Using the larger side of the roller, roll from the nose to the ear, covering the entire cheek and chin area. Lastly, roll from the chin to the collarbone and work outwards towards the sides of the neck.
Promising review: “Was so happy to find this on Target, and for such a great price! Most of the Jade rollers on the market are much more expensive, or are so cheap that they are not even made with real stone. This one is heavy enough that you know it is good quality, and is squeak-free! I also own the mini version, and both are amazing. I use it with my serums every morning and night!” —abc123
Price: $19.99

Become a founding memberPromising review: “This is the perfect watch for a mom/nurse! I love how it keeps track of your activity, and it encourages you to keep going. Additionally, it is easy to use in the exam room for timing vitals. It also has the option for setting timers, (use to remind me to pump regularly at work, and helps my little one to potty train).
