22 Thoughtful Mother's Day Gifts to Help Mom Relax

Mom can't wait to hit start on the washing machine, flip off the kitchen lights, sink into the sofa, and sip her way through a new bottle of wine. Keep her inventory of vino refreshed with a subscription to Winc. The wine purveyors will ask her some questions about her preferences, and they'll ship mom a collection suited to her tastes.

Mom is keeping a running list of all the shows she's trying to watch on Netflix. She's always telling you about the latest season of her new favorite series on Hulu. She even made you sign up for Disney+ so you could watch classic movies with her. If this sounds like your mother, you can help her (and her back) with a memory foam wedge pillow. It'll keep her propped up in bed, or elevate her enough if she'd rather lie down. It's certainly something she might not think to buy herself, but one Netflix binge later, and she'll be glad she has it.

If your mom's baskets are brimming with billowing blankets and her sock drawer is overrun by plush socks, this oversized fleece sweatshirt is the perfect gift for her.

If mom's dining room table is the de facto puzzle spot (goodness knows you haven't eaten a meal there in months), keep her puzzle supply refreshed with this 1000-piece succulent puzzle. And because succulents are calming and soothing, any stress from misfit pieces will be washed away with the puzzle's beauty. If she likes reminiscing with her puzzles, look for destination favorites like Acadia National Park.

When mom needs to clear her mind, she takes a walk around her favorite park or lake. Give her a new set of rosy kicks that are worthy of the runway.

The Ember Mug2 keeps your favorite warm beverage at the ideal temperature for hours. Mom can even sync the mug to her smartphone to monitor the temp. "This is the Cadillac of heated coffee mugs.
