Gift giving can be stressful as a rule, but gifting your mom (or your wife or your kids’ mother) is a new level of stress. I mean, she's already out-gifted you in every way.  Good news: you’ve got some Mom’s on your side offering fresh ideas:

Indoor Flower Garden

Why give Mom a bunch of flowers that will wilt by May 17 when she can grow her own flowers year-round? With this hydroponic kit, all she has to do is fill the Mason jar with water, add the pod, and watch the blooms sprout — either English daisies, zinnias, or pansies. The flowers will continue to grow for months, and afterwards, the grow medium can be used again with new seeds.

Box of Chocolate Soaps

This year, how about giving your mom a different kind of chocolate? Handmade and all-natural, this set gets its scent from actual cocoa powder; its moisturizing properties come from shea and cocoa butters as well as olive, coconut, and sweet almond oils to keep her skin soft all winter long.

Mom-Inspired Keychain

For the mother in your life who refuses to be mom-shamed, values independence in her kids and herself, and can dish out praise, discipline, witty comebacks, and dinner with equal skill, this one from Simplestamp says it all.

Mom Wine Glass

Your mom survived your colic, toilet training, white-food phase, homework battles, teen angst, college breakups, late-night phone calls, and countless little crises. She's earned this one. Bonus points if you also give her a bottle to go with it.

Moms Signs

For the new (or almost-new) mom who's realizing for the first time what it takes to raise small humans, this decor from A Rustic Feeling will show Mom that you're finally woke to the whole motherhood thing.
