As much as we love physical books, a Kindle just makes things easier (and the Paperwhite’s adjustable built-in light and anti-glare screen means she can read in just about any setting). Pre-load it with a curated list of titles and you’ve got the start of a long-distance book club.

A little gimmicky? Sure. Sweet and sentimental? No question. Give Mom one of these mini lamps for her desk or mantel—it lights up with a tap, a small but constant reminder you’re thinking of her.

The soothing heft of a weighted blanket can make all the difference after a long day—or for the mom who constantly worries. This 100 percent cotton one is super soft and breathable for year-round use.

And for the full, head-to-toe calming effect, treat her to this weighted, light-blocking sleep mask. It’s designed for back and side sleepers, with loops at the ends so she can even wear it while snoozing upright.

For chilly plane and train cabins, evenings out with friends, and just about anything in between.

Of course, you can never go wrong with a luscious bouquet that’ll instantly brighten her day.

A surefire way to bring the spa home: shower steamers. Infused with soothing essential oils and real flower petals, these heart-shaped ones are equal parts adorable and indulgent.

Maybe she’s picked up gardening since becoming an empty nester. This stylish, heavyweight cotton tote includes four durable, ergonomic tools to help her get started.

For your weekly FaceTime calls or finally listening to that podcast you recommended, Apple’s latest AirPods Pro 3 (complete with heart rate monitoring and hearing protection) are among the best wireless earbuds out there.

Spare her from squinting at that tiny phone calendar. This touchscreen smart display keeps your visits and shared plans front and center, and she can set to-do and grocery lists, too. And if you really share everything, go ahead and sync your own Google or Apple calendar.

Here, a cushy, foldable mat she can roll out for yoga, Pilates, or whatever at-home workout she’s into these days.

After a long haul or overnight flight, this hot-and-cold therapy tool can help de-puff, smooth dark circles, and boost circulation in just a few minutes.

If she’s got a little extra time on her hands, this refined Lego set makes for a fun project—and one she’ll actually want to display once it’s finished.

Maybe she’s the kind of old-school mom who still prefers to jot things down on pen and paper. Parker’s sleek stainless steel Jotter ballpoint is the one to replace all her others (Esquire editors—and even 007—are fans). Bonus: it’s refillable, so it’s easier on the environment.

And to go with her elite new pen, some pretty monogrammed stationery.
