Best Gifts for Moms 2023: Holiday Gift Guide

Best Gifts for Mom 2023-Holiday Gift Guide

Moms are the best and deserve so much- all parents do. But moms, stepmothers, aunties, and anyone who steps up as a mother figure daily with not even a thank you (tweens and teens, we might be looking at you) deserve something lovely for the holidays.

And while the holidays are about being grateful, they are also about cherishing someone and, if your budget allows, gifting her with a little (or luxe) something. But not all moms are the same which is why we have something for the mom who likes to cover up in a little cashmere, a mom who adores writing her thoughts down , warm socks and more.

Here are 8 Gifts we feel are worth giving this holiday season.

Who doesn’t love planners? Sure, the notes app is tremendous, but putting pen to paper can help one to feel organized (which is not easy), or writing down notes or jaunting down some goals you don’t want to forget can help a tired mom to feel hopeful. Like not all is lost, moms can dream, make plans, and be nudged by a planner like this to take some time, like writing down Big Ideas for a Breakfast Cereal or Awkward Things that Happen Today and more.

Vince Wool and Cashmere Double Face Cape

The thing about gifts for moms is that what should be given are the sort of gifts they may want but may not buy for themselves. This wool and cashmere cape will keep warmth but is also pretty darn stylish and can be worn on those brisk morning drop-offs or added in place of a heavy coat. Best part? Can be hand washed so no dry-cleaning drop-offs or high upkeep costs. $295, vince.com.
