25 Mother’s Day Gifts For the Mom Who Has Everything
by Meghan McKennaGift shopping is never easy, and Mother’s Day might be the hardest holiday of them all. You need a present that says “I love you, thanks for bringing me into the world, teaching me everything and dealing with my B.S. all these years.” And, you know, it has to fit your budget. What possible trinket could you give to this perfect woman who has given you everything? How do you buy something for someone who every year claims she doesn’t need or want anything aside from quality time spent with you? Well, we have a few ideas.
From a floral Gucci phone case to a DIY booze kit, here are a few perfect gifts for the mom who already has it all.

Mother’s Day Gift Guide
($199, Nirvana Blanket )
While your mom would likely prefer a warm hug from you, you could give her the second best thing on Mother’s Day with a Nirvana weighted blanket. It comes in weights from 10 to 25 pounds and they’re designed to make you relax by triggering “deep touch pressure stimulation.” (That’s a scientific way of saying that when you lie under it, it feels like you’re being hugged.) This weight, which comes from 11 “magic bands” filled with grain, also triggers your brain to release feel-good hormones like serotonin and oxytocin. The Canadian-made blanket is supposed help you have a deeper sleep, wake up in a good mood and provide some comfort to anyone suffering from anxiety, depression or insomnia. I put the blanket to the test. At first it felt like the weighted bib you wear at a dentist’s office before you have an x-ray. It also felt a little difficult to move around underneath it—at least at first. But, after waking up after the deepest and most delicious afternoon nap I’d ever had, I understood the appeal. Lying underneath it felt like I was swaddled in a cozy, comforting cocoon. The ideal gift for mom (or yourself.)
