We’re willing to bet that there are some fancy home goods that the mom figures in your life would pause on before buying for themselves. (Think: accessories they want but don’t need.) At this time of year, that’s where you, and we, come into the picture. She deserves the finest things in life, and there’s no better opportunity than Mother’s Day—it’s May 11, for the record—to make her design dreams come true. Below, you’ll find 40 Domino-approved Mother’s Day gift ideas personalized for every type of mom, from the plant whisperer to the entertaining wiz. 

For the Mom Who’s Constantly Redecorating 

Whether gathering with family or curling up for a Netflix session, downtime is that much more delightful when Mom is surrounded by goodies that remind her of you (right?). Jazz up the more traditional Mother’s Day gift of flowers by pairing it with a chic footed vase, or get her that buzzy new design book to style on her coffee table.

For the Mom Who’s the Self-Proclaimed Chairperson of Cookbook Club

If the kitchen is the heart of a home, then she’s the life force. Gift her something that will keep her spirits high in her culinary kingdom. An enameled set of baking dishes or fancy butter make the simplest weeknight meals feel meaningful. Even if she’s more of a microwave maven than a Le Cordon Bleu grad, a cool pepper grinder will give her master-chef style that’ll last a lifetime.
