Don’t fret if you have yet to pick out the perfect gift for your mom, wife, grandma, aunt, baby mama or any other maternal figure in your life — or if you’ve not even begun to think about it. (Though you should probably start as Mother’s Day falls on May 12th this year, i.e. just a few weeks away.) That’s where we come in.
Below you’ll find a wondrous array of unique and thoughtful gifts for every kind of mother in your life: A do-it-all diaper backpack for the new mom, a luxe LED light mask for the skincare-obsessed, a flattering trench coat for the fashion-forward mama and a premium apron for the lady who could happily spend hours in the kitchen.
So yes, you’ve got time. For now. But then you’ll have less time. And then even less. So why not just get it taken care of right now? Below, the best gifts to give this Mother’s Day.

Flint and Tinder Women’s Flannel-Lined Waxed Trucker Jacket
When Huckberry announced it would be launching its first-ever waxed trucker jacket for women, the ladies of InsideHook were quite excited. The layer has been a bona fide staple in every male IH editor’s closet for years, and it was about time us hardwearing women had a workwear jacket that complimented our figures. The much anticipated Women’s Flannel-Lined Waxed Trucker is, as the website notes, “a counterpart” to its beloved, best-selling men’s jacket — and features all the same components we love about the OG. It’s LA-made, waxed on both sides, weather-resistant and fully lined with a super-soft, striped fleece. The only difference is that it boasts a more feminine, tailored, cropped cut — making it a flattering, on-trend layer for the gals.
