Win-win.

This sleek device uses touch therapy to manage her stress, help her sleep better, and keep her focused. It sends tiny vibrations to her wrist or ankle, with an intensity level that can be adjusted via the app. It’s developed by neuroscientists and physicians and has been shown to reduce feelings of stress by up to 40% on average, and even increase deep sleep by 19%. What’s more important than her health? ($349, Apollo)

It’s pretty simple. Legacybox will take outdated VHS tapes, photos, cassettes, negatives, and more. Then the magic happens. In six to eight weeks, you’ll receive those originals back, plus a new digital version via thumb drive, DVD, or as a download from the cloud. She can rewatch baby videos, talent shows, and all those soccer games she taped and save them to her phone to share with others. Get the tissues ready. ($35.98+, Legacybox)

It’s sleek, lightweight, and roomy. The exterior is water- and wear-resistant, and it comes with an interior zippered pouch for valuables. It’s the everyday essential she can throw over her shoulder before running errands. You can even monogram it for free. ($250, Leatherology)

No one loves tossing and turning. Evenly distributed weight while she snoozes can help produce a deeper sleep, plus more serotonin and less cortisol. It’s made from hand-knit cotton (not tiny artificial beads typically found in weighted blankets), so it feels soft and breathable. ($199+, Bearaby)

It’s packed with things she’ll love, like coffee pouches, skincare masks, chocolate, spa necessities, and more. Each month is themed differently, so she’ll always have something to look forward to. You can also add a personalized message to be included with the first box. Psst...use code SKIMM15 for 15% off your order. ($41.67+/month, Cratejoy)

With this variety pack, she won’t have to choose which flavor is best. She’ll get to try them all. The box includes vanilla chip, strawberry, cake batter, matcha, black sesame, purple sweet potato, mango, and passion fruit. Plus, dairy-free options are also available. ($100, Mochidoki)

These lab-grown diamond beauties will add elegance to any outfit. They’re near-colorless to give her serious sparkle, and help you (and your siblings) say, ‘thank you for everything…ever.’ Bonus: The stones are made using 100% renewable energy. They’re truly the perfect above-and-beyond gift for an above-and-beyond mom you love. ($2,200, Lightbox)*

Introducing the chunkiest, gooiest, and (arguably) best cookies of all time. Based in New York City, this women-owned bakery creates cookies that are beyond delicious (they also make breads). This pack comes with chocolate chip walnut, dark chocolate chocolate chip, dark chocolate peanut butter, and oatmeal raisin. ($29/4 pack, Levain Bakery)

There aren't many things we can say about this robe except that a) it’s incredibly soft, and b) it’s a nighttime staple. It’s a gift she’ll use again and again; no need to wait for her next hotel stay. We suggest pairing it with these cozy socks as an added bonus. ($92.65, Brooklinen)

This one is 3 inches thick and backed by 25 years of Tempur-Pedic innovation, so you know it’s legit. The cover can be removed and washed, while the topper material responds to your body’s weight, shape, and temperature. If she’s a hot sleeper, you can upgrade the topper to a cooling one, with a cool-to-the-touch cover. ($251.40+, Tempur-Pedic)

The camera allows for a head-to-toe view, so she won’t need to peek out from an upstairs window (especially when a visitor isn’t expected). When someone arrives, the phone app she can download will alert her. She’ll even be able to talk to visitors without opening the door. ($229, Bed Bath & Beyond)

Safely, of course. This suitcase is built to last, and has a durable outer shell to protect all her precious personal items. It’s got a built-in, TSA-approved lock, 360-degree spinner wheels, a hidden laundry bag, and compression straps. Psst...we have this suitcase and really love it. It’s sturdy, rolls smoothly, and has room for everything. We’ve had it for years and it barely has scuff marks. ($275, Away)

Consider this the ultimate splurge. This hair dryer works ultra fast (trust us, we’ve used it) to make sure her locks are smooth, minus the extreme heat damage. Did we mention it can increase shine and decrease frizz? Included with the hair dryer she’ll receive a barrel styling brush, a detangling comb, a heat mat, and three different nozzle attachments. For the mom who loves to style her hair, it really is the gift that’ll keep on giving. ($429, Sephora)

This kettle looks too pretty to use, but don’t be fooled, it has 1400 watts of power to heat water for the perfect cup of tea. Plus the mini size will ensure there’s no leftover water sitting and no unnecessary counter space used. The double-walled stainless steel will also keep the water hot for longer, if she wants a second cup later in the day. With three dreamy colors to choose from, you’re bound to find one that suits her kitchen aesthetic. ($149.95, Nordstrom)

Okay, we can vouch for this set. These pajamas are heaven; we quite literally never want to take them off. The boyfriend-style pants and button-up top are made of the most touch-worthy spandex and modal cotton for just the right amount of stretch. They always keep us cool while snoozing. Consider them great for movie nights (plus they come in a wide range of colors). ($138, Nordstrom)

Made from 100% Italian merino wool, this sweater is such a wardrobe staple she’ll find herself reaching for it no matter the occasion. From taking the dog out for a walk to a potluck at the neighbors’ house, she’ll look polished and feel cozy. Added bonus: After all that wear, she can just throw it in the washing machine. It comes in four neutral colors. ($165, Alex Crane)

These nonstick and nontoxic pans are a real treat to look at, but not as big of a treat as all of the homemade cookies, pies, loaves, and cakes she’ll make with them. The set comes with seven pieces, from the famous baking sheet Great Jones is known for to must-have circular cake rounds and loaf pans. The one thing that will really have her jumping for joy? Each piece is dishwasher-safe. ($215, Great Jones)

Say hello to the classic Le Creuset with a twist. This one is more spacious, which means more room for stews and roasts, and less of a chance of boiling over. The magic trick? It’ll take up less space on her stovetop, but don’t worry — all of the traditional features are still included, like the even heat distribution and the durable enamel coating. Stock is limited, so don’t wait. ($380, Nordstrom)
