We compiled a variety of Mother's Day gift baskets, sets and boxes that include products we've previously recommended, Select-staff favorites and highly rated options we think you should know about.
The Chili Lab Homemade Hot Sauce Kit
If your mom always opts for a spicy meal come dinnertime, then this hot sauce gift set, which includes spices and other essential tools to craft two artisanal blends of hot sauces at home, is a must. The kit comes with two spice mixes, two 4-ounce reusable glass hot sauce bottles, a fine mesh strainer and a stainless steel funnel. The initial prep time takes about 10 minutes, but the hot sauces should age for at least three days, according to the brand.
Cheryl's Cookies Mother’s Day Gift Tin
I love gifting (and receiving) Cheryl’s Cookies for any occasion — they come in holiday-specific designs that actually taste as good as they look. Their Mother’s Day Gift Tin comes with 16 individually wrapped frosted cookies in several flavors including key lime white chocolate, strawberry, lemon and pineapple mango. In addition to floral and colorful designs, the set has a limited-edition "You Are the Best" cookie specifically made for Mother’s Day.

They’ll also get the brand’s foot stand that props their foot up and holds it steady so they can more easily prep and polish their toes.

Modern Sprout Mindful Meditation Lavender Kit
This kit from Modern Sprout can help the gardening enthusiast in your life grow their own lavender. (Studies show that lavender's great for helping with anxiety and sleep disorders). Not only will they get a soil-free hydroponic grow kit with lavender seeds, a bamboo planter and various growing essentials, but they’ll also get a five-minute hourglass sand timer for meditation, journaling and other mindfulness practices and an essential oil roller to apply to their wrist and neck. (I like to use lavender essential oil in my own nighttime routine to help me sleep better.)
Levain Bakery Signature Cookie Assortment
Levain Bakery’s cookies and pastries are some of my all-time favorite desserts — their cookies are about the size of my hand (they’re generally large enough to feed two or three people at a time) and their thick, gooey center always packs a rich flavor that coats my entire mouth. With its Signature Cookie Assortment you can send a 4-pack, 8-pack or 12-pack of the bakery’s original four cookie flavors (chocolate chip walnut, dark chocolate chip, dark chocolate peanut butter chip and oatmeal raisin) to all the mother figures in your life for sweet treat. If you’re looking for some slightly different flavor profiles, the brand also makes a spring assortment that includes a limited-edition caramel coconut chocolate chip.
Tatcha The Starter Ritual
For any moms who want to upgrade their skin care routine or those who generally struggle with dry skin, try gifting them this starter ritual kit from Tatcha — a Japanese skin care brand that comes dermatologist-recommended in our guides to the best face moisturizers and hyaluronic acid products. The set includes a 2-in-1 makeup remover and cleanser, water-activated exfoliant, moisturizing serum, face cream and eye cream that can help hydrate the skin and give your mom that dewy glow, according to the brand. Tatcha also offers a separate version of this set for oily or combination skin.

This set comes with six blueberry lemon scones, a 6-ounce jar of clotted cream, a 13-ounce jar of strawberry preserves and 12 mini wooden spoons to spread the toppings onto the scones. It’s all packaged neatly inside a gift box, which is delivered in a reusable insulated cooler bag.
Eastern Standard Provisions Gourmet Soft Pretzel Gift Box
If your mother figure is more of a salty snacks lover, this gourmet soft pretzel gift box includes 20 artisanal, vegan soft pretzels in a variety of shapes and sizes, and a sample of four flavored pretzel salts including classic, white truffle, three cheese and chili lime.
UrbanStems The Mom's Night In
This gift set from UrbanStems, which makes some of our favorite floral arrangements, bundles a pink orchid with a box of bath bombs to encourage her to relax and unwind. The bath bombs come in scents like lavender and eucalyptus, blood orange, ginger and lemongrass, and pink grapefruit, bergamot and cardamom. The orchid comes pre-potted and includes a card that details how to care for it.
Bean Box Deluxe Coffee and Chocolate Tasting Box
A great option for the coffee-loving mom, the set includes eight different coffees from roasters across the country along with eight chocolate bars and tasting notes for pairing. You can choose between whole bean or freshly ground coffee based on Mom’s preference. I’ve sent this gift set from Bean Box to friends and family in the past, and they’ve consistently raved about the unique experience of mixing chocolate and coffee (on top of its high-quality taste).
