I own this heated shiatsu massager and I absolutely love it. Unless you're a certified masseuse that doesn't mind giving hour-long massages on the daily, you need to get this for her. Forget all other back massagers. This is the one that will bring her calm and peace and will go to town on those stubborn back knots.

Vahdam sources, packages and ships directly from the source in India. They minimized the supply chain and put an emphasis on the quality and freshness of their teas, as well as the welfare of their tea growers.
There is a reason why Oprah Winfrey consistently lists Vahdam teas as her favorites—and Mom deserves to live like Oprah for a few minutes a day, at the very least. Pair these with a stunning glass tea cup for a truly comforting gift.

For a comforting, cozy fit that blocks out sound and won't fall out of your ears when you're sleeping, SleepPhones will make every night more restful.

18. For the one who wants to sleep in: A luxurious eye mask
If she's been having some sleepless nights, a good sleep mask may just be the apology she deserves. We take sleep very seriously here at Reviewed and the Mzoo Sleep Mask is our absolute favorite for cutting out the light and for cupping our eyes in a gentle and comforting way.
The secure and stretchy band makes it adjustable so it works for all types of sleepers.

Alexa, what's the best gift to give a busy mom? The Echo Show 8 (second-gen) is the personal assistant Mom needs to manage her day and a busy household. Plus, it's fun!
The Echo Show 8 is, essentially, a smaller, more affordable version of the full Show, with a compact design and a sleek, new screen. This updated Echo makes all of Mom's to-do tasks easier, including reordering supplies, setting timers, getting news updates and making video calls to family far away.

We are sure Mom has a robe from Mother's Day gifts of years' past. What pairs perfectly with that robe? A pair of fantastic Ugg slippers. Voted "best slipper for women" the Ugg Scuffette will keep her feet warm and comforted, without making them sweaty.
We've waxed poetic about these celebrity-approved slippers on more than one occasion. These are the slippers Mom wants but may not splurge on for herself.

22. For the one who wants to cut down on cook time: A Ninja Speedi air fryer
When it comes to air frying, the Ninja Speedi is easily the best air fryer we've tried. During our tests, French fries and chicken nuggets came brown and perfectly crisp and exceptionally evenly cooked throughout. You'd never be able to tell the difference between ones made in this air fryer and one made in a pot of oil.
While the Ninja Speedi smoked the competition as the best air fryer we've tested, it does so much more than air frying alone. It’s also a multicooker with steam technology and it has 9 additional settings for everything from baking to proofing bread.
