SkinCeuticals Best Sellers Discovery Set
1/49SkinCeuticals
Best Sellers Discovery Set
Mom deserves nothing less than the best skin care, which she'll get in this three-piece SkinCeuticals set. Truly, these products need no introduction, but here’s a primer anyway. C E Ferulic is a potent antioxidant serum that brightens dark spots and discoloration and tackles fine lines. Former commerce writer Jennifer Hussein described the derm-approved investment as "the mother of all vitamin C serums."
H.A. Intensifier Multi-Glycan is a 2024 Best of Beauty Award winner. In the words of creative director Amber Venerable, "It feels substantial but not heavy and gives instant hydration to the skin." Star ingredients include licorice root and purple rice extract to lock in major doses of hyaluronic acid, an all-star humectant you're surely familiar with. Hello, bouncier skin.
As for Triple Lipid Restore, it's the end-all-be-all moisturizer, "infusing skin-identical fatty acids into the barrier in the exact proportion that naturally exists in our barrier," Mona Gohara, MD, a board-certified dermatologist based in Connecticut, explained. The result? Younger-looking skin.
Tom Ford Fabulous Candle
2/49Tom Ford
Fabulous Candle
For the giftee who talks like a sailor and smells like a saint, meet Tom Ford’s Fucking Fabulous Candle. Proudly emblazoned with the F-bomb, this sultry candle is scented like rich, spicy leather, tonka bean, and sage. Effing delicious.

In this bundle, she'll get a Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40, Limitless Lash Mascara, Liquid Powder Chromatic Eye Tint in Dim, and a Lip Sketch Hydrating Crayon in Banquette.
Dyson Airwrap
5/49Dyson
Airwrap
Plain and simple, the Dyson Airwrap is one of the most coveted hot tools. Its versatility is unmatched, and the super fast style time is the icing on the cake. Best of all, you can snag it in a limited-edition Strawberry Bronze colorway that'll stun on her vanity. Pro tip: If the Airwrap sits slightly outside your budget, go halfsies with a like-minded gifter.
Jolie Filtered Showerhead
6/49Jolie
Filtered Showerhead
Hard water can mean hard times for hair. If you've heard your giftee complaining about brittle strands (or dry skin), she may be in the market for a showerhead filter and not even know it. Jolie makes a beautiful option—available in five colors, including Brushed Steel, Brushed Gold, and Jet Black to match any bathroom aesthetic—that promises to relieve your shower water of chlorine and heavy metals that can strip skin and hair of natural oils.
Jones Road Miracle Balm
7/49Jones Road
Miracle Balm
Jones Road's Miracle Balm is the everything-in-one product that low-effort beauty lovers have long dreamt of. Wrap and pass a jar of this glowy-finish goodness to your best friend so she always looks like she just came back from vacay. She can apply the balm with a finger (just be sure to tell her to “break” or press down firmly on the balm to activate it) or makeup sponge to her lips, cheeks, eyes, and even the tip of her nose. “
"If your skin is dull, dry, and needs some waking up, you absolutely need this product," shopping director Shanna Shipin attests. "I can use it anywhere on my face for instant life. Yes, life. It adds a natural wash to the skin and doesn't sink into fine lines or accentuate my pitted acne scars." Shipin notes the colors are buildable, comfortable, and so goof-proof that you really don't need a mirror to apply them. (Her favorite is the red-bronze Tawny.)
Blue Lagoon Iceland Skincare Signature Masks Travel Set
8/49Blue Lagoon Iceland Skincare
Signature Masks Travel Set
We’re primed to love anything that comes in a metal tube (instant sophistication boost much?), and this set from Blue Lagoon fits the bill.

Your giftee will get mini tubes of the Silica Mud Mask, Algae Mask, Mineral Mask, and Lava Scrub Mask and be obsessed with all of them.

This non-daunting quartet makes it easy for her to incorporate new steps into her routine without a total overhaul.
Hatch Restore 3
11/49Hatch
Restore 3
A TikTok-viral product that's actually worth it? Groundbreaking. The Hatch Restore 3 is a sunrise alarm clock, white noise machine, and bedside light rolled into one. If anything can turn her into a morning person, it's this.
Cozy Earth Silk Pillow
12/49Cozy Earth
Silk Pillow
Shipin (a mom of two girls) called the Cozy Earth Silk Pillow "life-changing" and had no regrets when she accidentally ordered two. If you're familiar with synthetic down, you know you can usually tell the difference, but mulberry silk turns out to be the perfect alternative; it's stuffed inside the actual pillowcase, which makes for the ideal firmness.
Phlur Vanilla Skin Hair & Body Fragrance Mist
13/49Phlur
Vanilla Skin Hair & Body Fragrance Mist
This 2024 Best of Beauty-winning bottle of Phlur Vanilla Skin Hair & Body Fragrance Mist is the definition of irresistible. A few spritzes of this mist and you'll understand why it won our hearts.

"It's sweet and light, giving gourmand warmth while maintaining a natural musk that doesn’t make it too sugary."

Whether she needs muscle therapy post-workout or is struggling with mobility in her later years, this gadget—which comes with three attachments—can be a huge source of relief.
NuFace Mini + Starter Kit
15/49NuFace
Mini + Starter Kit
If your mom has lamented that her skin-care routine needs a jolt of newness, the NuFace Mini + Starter Kit is sure to be a hit. The microcurrent tool is like a face-sculpting workout that might sound too good to be true, but take it from Zain Husain, MD, a New Jersey-based board-certified dermatologist.”The microcurrent stimulates energy production to drive the creation of collagen and elastin in the skin, creating a more lifted appearance,” Dr. Husain explains.
111Skin Celestial Black Diamond Eye Mask
16/49111Skin

Mom loves an undereye mask, and you love to spoil mom. Grab her a splurgey 8-pack of 111Skin’s Celestial Black Diamond Eye Mask for a relaxing, hydrating, and de-puffing session. She’ll appreciate the inclusion of hard-working ingredients like hyaluronic acid and a peptide complex.
Lelet NY Pony Cuff
17/49Lelet NY
Pony Cuff
Yes, your mom adores her drugstore claw clip (and, duh, same), but allow her to mix things up with this totally trending Lelet Pony Cuff. The chunky, gold-toned brass cuff is fastened to an elastic hair tie to vibe-boost even the most low-effort ponytails. So sweet and sophisticated.
Anthropologie The Fiona Beaded Bag: Food & Drink Edition
18/49Anthropologie
The Fiona Beaded Bag: Food & Drink Edition
The radish-printed Fiona Beaded Bag from Anthropologie is simply to die for. The intricately glass-beaded exterior is a nod to her favorite food and looks so darn cute with everything. If she’s not so into radishes, we stan the tomato, olive, and strawberry prints.

19/49Hourglass

530 Sneaker
Sneaks she wants, sneaks she gets. New Balance’s 530S sneakers are the classic, versatile 90s dad shoe that don’t go out of style. They come in lots of colors, but we love the Angora/Dusk Shower blue combo.
Eberjey Gisele Relaxed Jersey Knit Short Pajamas

The vacuum-insulated, stainless-steel build is as pretty as it is lightweight and chilly. Your giftee (and you) can tote your vino wherever the night calls you.
Dior Lip Glow Oil
32/49Dior
Lip Glow Oil
Dior’s Addict Lip Glow Oil is that girl, and for good reason. The nourishing, tinting, and never-sticky lippie doles out unbeatable shine and moisture. Gift the lip oil in any of the 11 hues, and watch her swipe it on right out of the box. A special shout out to the cushiony doe-foot applicator, which satisfies and saturates the pout every time.
Diptyque Solid Perfume
33/49Diptyque

A welcome switch-up from her traditional eau de parfum, the Diptyque Solid Perfume is a must-have portable fragrance, available in many of the brand’s most beloved scents such as Doson (pictured here), Eau Rose, and L'Eau Papier.

Bose QuietComfort Bluetooth Headphones
36/49Bose
QuietComfort Bluetooth Headphones
Bose knows headphones, and your mom has been eyeing the QuietComfort over-ear pair ever since Santa misread her list (read between the lines, dad). Available in a wide range of colors, these Bluetooth cans deliver first-rate noise cancellation, high-fidelity audio, an adjustable EQ, and all the comfort needed for all-day wear. We say this with only love for the Airpod Maxes, but these are just as good and a couple hundred bucks cheaper.
Papier Wellness Journal
37/49Papier
Wellness Journal
Papier has a vast selection of personalized gifts, but there's something that stands out about the vibe of this painterly Wellness Journal. Inside, there are 12 weeks of pages that guide her through reflecting on her goals, habits, sleep, and moments of gratitude. And the best daughter award goes to you.

Hermès Les Mains Hermès Nail File Set
43/49Hermès
Les Mains Hermès Nail File Set
The Hermès Les Mains Nail File Set is a perfect example of a quiet-luxury lift your loved one didn't know she needed (and maybe doesn’t actually need…but isn’t that the point?). The set is a welcome step up from the disintegrating nail file she's had for eons, and the signature orange Hermès box is a serotonin boost in and of itself. Give it some time, and maybe you’ll be able to afford to gift her matching handbag. Maybe. Someday.
Dermaflash Luxe+ Advanced
44/49Dermaflash
Luxe+ Advanced
Long story short, the Dermaflash Luxe+ Advanced is where science steps in to snatch your loved one's face. This tool removes the topmost layer of the skin, composed of dead cells, allowing the face to look smoother and brighter. Take it from former Allure editor Taylore Glynn, who said, "The results were instant and obvious: My skin was glowy with no product on it whatsoever, and the contours of my face looked much more defined."
Parachute Classic Turkish Cotton Robe
45/49Parachute
Classic Turkish Cotton Robe
If your mother-in-law has finally come around to replacing the robe she's been using since you first met, Parachute's plush option is a strong contender. It's soft and absorbent but won't retain water for mildewy ickiness. The brand also sells some of our favorite bath towels, in case you want to tack those onto your order.
Alo Warrior Mat
46/49Alo
Warrior Mat
The Alo Warrior Mat is satisfyingly thick, weighty, and nonslip. At eight pounds, it's definitely heavier than most travel mats, but if she drives to the studio, it shouldn't be an issue. Like everything else at Alo, this yoga mat comes in a bunch of cute colors.
Oribe Gold Lust Repair & Restore Duo
47/49Oribe
Gold Lust Repair & Restore Duo
