Maybe you took our advice and snagged this fan-fave lip oil during Sephora Savings Event, but in case you didn’t, now’s your chance. These lip oil/lip gloss hybrids have just enough sheen, plus hydrating ingredients like squalane and quinoa seed oil. They come in four shades that look pretty on everyone. ($24, Merit)

Our child-free editors swear by Honest’s Calm Bubble Bath as an affordable, yet luxurious option (that also happens to be safe for sensitive skin). That said, it’s also gentle enough for toddlers and babies because it’s formulated without silicones, parabens, phthalates, dyes, and synthetic fragrances. Pour two to four capfuls under warm running water. They’ll have a foamy bath in no time. ($12.99, Honest)

A luxurious feel doesn’t have to come with a luxurious price tag. This lightweight, waffle-textured robe will help make her mornings and evenings even cozier. It’s not too long, not too short, and is available in sizes XS-3X. Since it’s under $15, we wouldn’t blame you for snagging a matching one for yourself. ($14.98, Walmart)

Sometimes, it really is the little things. This cute key charm from Anthropologie will brighten up her keyring and give her a much-needed break from having to have all the answers, all the time. Go ahead, let her take the passenger’s seat. ($18, Anthropologie)

Help her start her day off right with these inspiring affirmations. Inspired by Jen Sincero’s bestselling book, this kit includes the “Badass Button” with five directives recorded by Jen herself. It also comes with a mini, 88-page abridged version of her book. ($10.95, Barnes & Noble)

This is everything a blanket should be: cozy, warm, lightweight, and machine-washable. It’s big enough to wrap yourself up in and comes in over 20 colors — most of which are neutral or jewel tones, so they won’t clash with her decor. You can get it as a small or large throw, or as a coverlet for a twin, queen, or king-sized bed. ($15.99, Amazon)

Meet the gift that speaks for itself. It’s simple, hilarious, and under $10. We especially love that you can also get one for a grandma, teacher, or a wife (and yes, they even have a few for Father’s Day, in case you’re trying to get ahead). It’s made with 100% natural soy wax and smells like soothing lavender. (Unknown, Amazon)

These gel eye masks are full of antioxidants and hyaluronic acid to give her under-eyes a good refresh. They’re already soothing, but for an extra boost, add this five-pack to the fridge for a cooling effect. ($15/5-pack, Nordstrom)

If you have Mom to thank for all those years of Fourth of July tees from Old Navy, now’s the time to return the favor. This simple ribbed T-shirt is on the thicker side for full coverage without feeling too heavy. It has a relaxed fit that hits right below the waist, so she can wear it with any style jeans or a maxi skirt for a more elevated look. ($8.49+, Old Navy)

For all the moms in need of a little self-care, this two-step Dr. Jart+ sheet mask is a spa day wrapped into one product. After cleansing and toning, she’ll rub the serum all over her face. Then, she’ll apply the hydrating gel mask and leave it on for 30 to 40 minutes. Take it to the next level by offering a glass of her favorite wine while she waits for it to work its magic. ($16, Sephora)

Out with the old, in with this adorable “Mama Bear” mug. It has a sleek, minimalist design thanks to its subtle speckled finish. It’s both dishwasher- and microwave-safe, which makes cleanup a breeze. Pair this with her favorite coffee blend and prepare to win the Best Child award. ($7, Target)

If you know us, you know we’re obsessed with this Laneige lip mask. It’s rich in shea butter, coconut oil, and antioxidants that protect and moisturize lips overnight, though the dewy sheen looks pretty during the day, too. The compact size is perfect for throwing in a bag or keeping on her nightstand. ($24.00, Amazon)

Help her never lose her place again with this “pause” bookmark that’s equal parts sturdy and stylish. It works on any kind of paper so she can use it for her journal, beach read, or spiritual text. Our advice? Pair it with the editor-fave Ina Garten memoir. Trust us. ($12, Papier)

If she’s planning to channel her Coastal Grandmother aesthetic this summer, help her out with this 500-piece puzzle and a crisp glass of sauv blanc. We love the Tuscany-inspired illustration on this one. If she’s big on staying organized, add these sorting trays to help her keep similar pieces together. ($14.99, Galison)

These floral bowls are great for curling up on the couch or reading nook with a favorite snack. The set comes with six different colors that can also double as catchalls for odds and ends around the house. They look dainty, but hold up well in both the dishwasher and the microwave. ($24/6-pack, Uncommon Goods)

Confession: We’ve personally tried these glasses and we can’t. stop. buying. them. They come in a wide variety of “icons,” like avocados, ladybugs, chili peppers, and bows, just to name a few. Whether you grab one or a few to make a set, you simply can’t go wrong with these. ($16, Anthropologie)

Her wine glass, that is. This silicone glass holder is a great tool to help her unwind after a long day. All she has to do is adhere this super-sticky holder to a clean, dry surface and add her wine glass of choice. Now all she needs for a relaxing evening is to put her phone on Do Not Disturb.
