Shopping for the best gifts for moms is no small feat.

For the mom who always has perfectly blown-out hair (first off, can she give us some tips?), why not get her a coveted multistyler that'll shave precious minutes from her routine? Or, if she's a skin-care queen, a sculpting microcurrent device is a worthy investment—one that you'll definitely "borrow" every time you're home. No matter your mom's vibe, the extra thought goes a long way. Scroll on for some of the best gifts for moms ready to be wrapped and passed for Mother's Day. Do your dad a solid and text him this list, too. You're welcome, dad.
