Give your mom the gift of a luxurious facial in the comforts of her own home. The PMD SilkSteam Pro will steam, hydrate, and refresh her skin in just 15 minutes.

She can even infuse essential oils for a personalized treatment.
5. Breville Barista Express Espresso Machine
This organizer is a smart way to travel with devices. Elastic straps hold your phone, charger cables, external batteries, earbuds, and more on one board.

7. MacKenzie-Childs Sterling Check Enamel Vase
Mom will swoon over this enamel vase , especially if she has other items from MacKenzie-Childs’ sterling check line . Even better? Present this gift with a stunning bouquet of flowers already in it, or pair it with other matching items from the collection to make it a set.
8. Ooni Koda 16 Pizza Oven
We’ve never met an Ooni owner who didn’t absolutely love their pizza oven . The brand's Koda 16 is the gold standard of outdoor pizza ovens and is shockingly user-friendly. If you start today, you can even give her a nicely aged sourdough starter for her dough.

12. Bond Touch Long-Distance Connection Bracelets
Whether this year is the first where you’re away from home, or you just need comfort to know she’s there, these touch bracelets are going to make you both so happy. Connected through Wi-Fi, these twin bracelets illuminate or vibrate when the other is touched.
13. Apple AirTag (4-Pack)
Does your mom often forget the whereabouts of her iPhone or other personal belongings? This small and nifty gadget by Apple will help her find it, whether it's nearby or far away. If you mark an item as lost, you'll get notifications if it shows up on any Find My network, too.
"In case the AirTag is beyond the range of your iPhone, don’t worry. You will be able to track down your item by tapping into Apple’s giant (and constantly growing) Find My network, which currently consists of almost a billion devices. Once your AirTag comes close to another Apple gadget, it will update its whereabouts in the Find My app," explains our senior technology editor, Stefan Vazharov , in his review .
14. Electric Gooseneck Kettle
This electric gooseneck kettle from COSORI has a leaf-proof design, stainless steel interior, and features five preset temperature settings including an option for coffee, so she can make the best brew possible.
Our senior service editor, Melanie Yates , loves this electric kettle and we’re sure your tea-loving mom will too. " Electric Gooseneck Kettle has been in my life since 2019, and I've used it nearly every day since I first placed it on my countertop. It is, without a doubt, the most convenient and effective device to boil water for tea or coffee that I've ever used," explains Yates in her review .
15. Courant Wireless Charging Station & Valet Tray
This Christmas gift for Mom will keep her everyday tech fully charged in absolute luxury. Made with Italian leather, this sleek valet tray will sit pretty wherever it’s placed.
