What do you get for the mother who swears she doesn’t want anything? As it turns out, there’s a lot she just doesn’t know that she wants yet. To spare you some of the shopping pains, we’ve rounded up the gifts for mom you can order right off of Amazon.
For the mother who loves to cook, Farberware’s 12-piece cutlery set features carefully crafted blades of stainless steel—an eight-inch chef knife, an eight-inch bread knife, and eight-inch slicer knife, a five-and-a-half-inch serrated utility knife, and a three-and-a-half-inch paring knife. The stick-resistant, resin coating ensures that they’re easily kept clean for easier, more efficient cutting. And each come with sleeves for protection and storage, as well as ergonomically designed handles for a comfortable grip.
For the mother who loves her morning coffee, consider this BLACK+DECKER Gooseneck Kettle and four-piece pour-over coffee kit so she can make her own at home. It comes with a stainless-steel gooseneck kettle, a contoured coffee dripper, filters, and a glass carafe with a lid for serving. The best part is that this kettle shuts off at boil and is ready for brewing within just 30 seconds.
If she really can’t go without her morning coffee, she’ll also appreciate this Chef’n Ceramic coffee canister, which includes an airlock lid, to keep the beans fresh for longer. It’ll keep her coffee hot for up to eight hours, or her iced coffee cold for 24 hours.
A Kindle is a great gift for anyone who loves to read. This Kindle’s adjustable front will help mom to read comfortably, whether she's in her living room or on the beach on vacation, day or night.

For the mother who enjoys her wine, Corkcicle's stemless wine tumbler is a perfect idea.

Plus, the sliding, shatterproof lid and slip-proof, silicone bottom will keep her from spilling.

The powders are perfect for at-home facials, spot treatments, skin detoxing, and more to decongest pores, balance oily skin, and calm itching. All she has to do is add purified water to the powder.
Give mom the gift of relaxation over the holidays, after all the stressful running around she’s done to holiday shop, cook, host, etc. Zyllion’s Shiatsu back and neck massage pillow will sit comfortably behind her shoulders or back, or even under her thighs and calves. and offer a powerful, three-dimension, deep-kneading massage. Plus, the advanced heating function soothes aches and pains.
For the woman who’s always losing her keys, this Kate Spade New York Daily Place trinket tray, made by Lenox, will be a big help. She can toss her keys, jewelry, sunglasses, and other trinkets on the tray so she’ll never misplace them again.
Roxanne Gay is a renowned author, TED Talk speaker and self-proclaimed “bad feminist.” In her hilarious book on feminism, she writes: “I am failing as a woman. I am failing as a feminist. To freely accept the feminist label would not be fair to good feminists. If I am, indeed, a feminist, I am a rather bad one. I am a mess of contradictions.” It’s a satirical yet enlightening critique on our innate need to label ourselves as women—some as mothers. And it’s likely that moms will have a good laugh reading it.
