Your mother has been there for you since day one. She’s your cheerleader, giver of the best advice, and an all-around superhero. She’s believed in you since before you could walk, and to this day she’s still your biggest fan. What better day than Mother’s Day to remind her what an inspiration she is?

This year, Mother’s Day falls on Sunday, May 12. Whether you’re shopping for your mom, the one who brought you into this world, or if you’re shopping for your partner in parenthood, it can be a challenge to find a gift that says how grateful you are to have them in your life. That gift doesn’t have to be flashy or overly expensive; it just has to be a sweet, thoughtful gift that shows you care.

It might be a Fitbit for the mom who is always on the go or a new cookbook for the mother who showers you with home-cooked meals. Maybe it’s just the coffee maker she’s been hinting at or a pair of simple hoop earrings to make her every day a bit more luxurious.

To spark your creativity, we’ve gathered up a few of our favorite gifting ideas. None of these options are over-the-top, but they will fit the bill for something practical, but still special.

Because Mother’s Day seems to sneak up on us every year (hint, hint: it’s coming up quickly), we’ve included a few options available on Amazon Prime, so you have until May 10 to figure it out.
