From lavish skincare sets to personalized tear-jerkers and everything in between.

You know who deserves a gift this Valentine’s Day? Your mother. Although, finding the best gift for moms can be quite the challenge. You see, moms tend to have very specific taste, and are usually outwardly opinionated when it comes to pretty much everything, which can put even more pressure on gift-giving. Admit it or not, their approval means something to us. Whether you’re looking for the best gift for a mother-in-law you don’t get along with (we won’t tell), or you are shopping for your own mom or mother figure that is just plain difficult to please, decision fatigue often sets in when you’re scrolling through a bottomless pit of potential items for said person. And to make matters worse, February 14th is creeping up fast. If you’re in need of a last-minute gift for the special woman in your life that will arrive in time for the holiday, or any other special occasion, we curated a list of 54 picks for the hardest-to-please recipient.

From special jewelry to luxury cashmere, lavish skincare, sentimental home décor, and innovative tech that will significantly improve her life, this list is totally fail-proof. Even if she has everything, there’s nothing on this list that won’t crack a smile. Alternatively, if you’re looking for a gift for your best friend that just happens to be a new mom too, there are plenty of items ahead that will score you validation while expressing your love in gifts.

Show those moms (or whoever!) you really care by shopping what lies ahead, whether it’s for the holidays, her birthday, or just because.
