If you’re anything like my family, my mom always handles the purchasing of gifts. So, when it comes to Mother’s Day, we are ultimately left with the same question year after year, “What should we get mom for Mother’s Day?” We’ve learned that a little pampering and self-love can go a long way as attested to by some of our favorite moms on the Skin Clique team. Avoid giving a generic gift and pick something she’ll truly love with our Mother’s Day 2025 Gift Guide.
We’ve put together a list of our favorite gift ideas, curated by the moms at Skin Clique.
This guide covers:
- Gifts for the new mom
- Gifts for the mom who’s always on-the-go
- Gifts for the mom who has everything
- Gifts for the skincare enthusiast
- Gifts for your mom when you don’t know what to buy
For the New Mom
New moms are arguably the most excited and equally most tired moms on Mother’s Day. They’ve been through a lot recently and deserve some extra love and attention. Here’s some of our suggested favorites for the new moms in your life.
Colorescience Total Eye® Hydrogel Treatment Masks
It goes without saying – new moms are tired. They wake up multiple times a night and run on little sleep. That makes our eye masks the obvious choice. Colorescience Total Eye® Hydrogel Treatment Masks give under eyes an instant boost of hydration and work to minimize puffiness and lighten darkness. With 12 pairs of eye masks included, this is the perfect choice for new moms who want to quickly brighten up.

Kindle or Other E-Reader
A Kindle or other e-reader is a great gift for a new mom because they have newfound time on their hands during feedings, naps, etc. A great alternative to doom scrolling, reading opens a world of possibilities. Choosing a Kindle or e-reader makes it easy to hold in one hand while multi-tasking – not to mention lightweight. They can also easily switch to some light games or choose a new read on the fly.
Owala Water Bottle
The importance of drinking water can be very underplayed. Not only is it meaningful for your skin, but new moms that are breastfeeding should be taking in more water than you think. A cute water bottle makes drinking water fun and accessible. The Owala is a great leak resistant option that comes in tons of color options to fit multiple personalities. The FreeSip spout offers the flexibility to swig or sip, making it easy to drink while holding their little one.
For the Mom Who’s Always On-the-Go
We’ve never met a mom who wouldn’t describe themselves as busy. Whether they are hauling kids to their activities, making time for date night, or jetting to their job, some of our favorite gifts can make life feel a little slower.
Ember Mug
For the moms who need to have their caffeine to keep up with their kids, nothing is worse than going to take a sip of their hot drink and ending up with a mouth of cold. Whether it be tea or coffee, the Ember Mug keeps liquids warm while on the go, so moms don’t have to cross their fingers and hope they have a good drink waiting for them.
Sunforgettable® Total Protection™ GLOW Brush-On Shield SPF 50
The last thing an active mom wants is to be caught in the sun without protection. Whether they need to re-apply for you or the kids (or the husband who refuses), Sunforgettable® Total Protection™ GLOW Brush-On Shield SPF 50 is easy to apply and quick to protect. It brushes on smoothly and adds a nice glow.

Hydrinity Hyacyn Active Purifying Mist
What mom doesn’t need to carry hand sanitizer everywhere they go? Well, this is basically spray sanitizer that treats and balances the skin’s pH to promote healing and cleanses. Hydrinity Hyacyn Active Purifying Mist is lightweight and free of chemical irritants making it safe for all skin types. It's the perfect size for them to keep in the car to spray on after a workout or their kid’s practice.

Cook When You Don’t Feel Like Cooking Cookbook
What to Cook When You Don’t Feel Like Cooking Cookbook – the name says it all. This cookbook is perfect for the mom on the go who doesn’t have all the time in the world to meal plan or cook gourmet food every night. The author, Caroline Chambers, is a busy mom of three with a packed schedule, which makes her an expert at quick, healthy meals for the whole family.
For the Mom Who Has Everything
Arguably the hardest person to shop for is the person who has everything – especially when they’re your mom. Luckily, we have some suggestions that they probably didn’t even know they wanted or needed.
Photo Prints
Nothing says, “we love you,” like a personalized gift from the heart. Take it from Dr. Sarah Allen, CEO/Founder of Skin Clique, and mom of four girls. Her favorite gifts are the ones from her girls that come from the heart. Pick a photo from a special moment over the last year and add a nice frame for your mom to display proudly.
One Love Organics Botanical B Enzyme Cleansing Oil
This is the perfect gift, because your mom doesn’t even know she needs it. One Love Organics Botanical B Enzyme Cleansing Oil is a multitasking cleansing oil and game changer when it comes to removing makeup and end of day grime. With a refreshing pineapple-citrus scent, your mom will be hooked after just one use.

ZO Skin Health Enzymatic Peel
The ZO Enzymatic Peel is one of our team’s absolute favorites. It is severely underrated in the skincare line up and is such a pleasant experience for the skin. It gently exfoliates for an at-home facial peel that improves texture and tone.
For the Skincare Enthusiast
We have all met the mom who tries all the skincare products and is constantly jumping on the newest trends. At Skin Clique we don’t believe in trends, only results. So, if they are going to pick something new to add to their routine, make it a recommendation from the experts.
Omniluxe Mask
With so many LED and red-light masks on the market it can be easy to get one that just doesn't work. If your mom is interested in this craze, we suggest the Omnilux Contour Face. This red-light therapy mask can help improve signs of aging and rejuvenate the skin. Easy to wear and simple to use, this mask makes a great gift for mom.
Skinbetter Trio Luxe Moisture Treatment
If your mom is a skincare enthusiast and hasn’t tried Skinbetter Trio Luxe Moisture Treatment, they are truly missing one of the best products on the market. This rich moisturizer works to support the skin barrier, so you don’t just feel hydrated but receive hydration. Ideal for skin that ranges from moderately to severely dry, your mom should definitely think about adding this to her routine.
Shop with a Skin Clique provider to purchase Trio Luxe Moisture Treatment.
Hydrinity Vivid Brightening Serum
A mom who loves skincare is going to love this serum. Formulated to diminish the appearance of hyperpigmentation, aging spots, and uneven skin tone, Hydrinity Vivid Brightening Serum helps to restore radiance while protecting against future discoloration.

Headband and Wrist Bands for Face Washing
If you are a skincare enthusiast, you know the importance of washing your face at least twice a day. We aren’t kidding when we say the feeling of wet sleeves or dripping elbows makes washing your face feel like the ultimate chore. Well, not with a headband and wrist band set. This not only gets hair out of our face but prevents water from running down your arms as you bend over the sink. It might seem frivolous at first glance but trust us, it’ll become your mom’s quick favorite.
Clean Skin Club Towels
Clean Skin Club Towels are another item on our gift guide that might feel a little “extra”, but for those obsessed with skincare they will also be obsessed with the difference these provide. Clean towels are great for your skin. They help reduce breakouts and improve your skin barrier. They’ll put an old face towel to shame.
