Check your calendars, Mother’s Day is almost here. On May 14th, it’s time to celebrate the woman who brought your kids into the world…and no, she doesn’t just want breakfast in bed (although that’s a nice extra!). And while of course traditionally Mother’s Day is meant for children to appreciate their parent, let’s be honest: Kids don’t always have the best fine motor skills or a credit card without limits. So that’s why we suggest that this year, that the gift doesn’t come from the children but from you, her partner. There are plenty of incredible gifts to give your wife, but on a special day like Mother’s Day, go the extra mile. Forget about the gift certificate and opt for a luxurious handbag, that humidifier she’s been eyeing, or even her favorite cookies. Is she the kind of mom who needs an hour to do her skincare? Get her a bang-for-your-buck skincare set. Does she love fashion more than she loves you? Then buy her the hottest items from the spring runways. To make her day extra special, here are 41 gift ideas that will make her feel special, which is exactly what she deserves.

Whether she’s a self-proclaimed tequila chick or she simply adores the KarJenner clan, this gift has serious star power. (Honestly, she doesn’t have to fit into either of those categories. This bottle can stand alone as a home decor piece to rival anything on HGTV.)
