The Verge’s 2025 Mother’s Day gift guide

Chances are, your mom changed your diaper, packed your lunch, and helped guide you through your teenage years – all without expecting anything in return. She deserves a standing ovation, but since that’s difficult to wrap, a thoughtful Mother’s Day gift can make for a fine alternative.
This year, we rounded up a collection of gifts that we think do a much better job of showing appreciation than a bouquet of flowers or a card ever could. Many of our picks, such as Tapo’s inexpensive robot vacuum and Ohom’s self-heating mug / charger, are designed to make her day run a little smoother, while others are aimed at helping her unwind with music, exercise, and – of course – soft serve ice cream.
No matter what kind of mom you’re shopping for, there’s something here that’ll make her feel truly seen, celebrated, and maybe even a little spoiled.
Update, May 9th: Adjusted pricing / availability and added several new recommendations, including the latest iPad and Houdini’s electric corkscrew.
