For the Glamorous Mom

SRI’s DryQ is a favorite among celebrity hairstylists and at-home beauty queens alike. That’s because it’s more than just a hair dryer — it’s a technological marvel that promotes thick, healthy hair growth and fast, frizz-free styling. That’s all thanks to the infrared light therapy and negative ion technology on board this small-but-mighty dryer. Did we mention it’s ultra light, so her arms won’t get tired while she’s drying her hair?

It’s not every day you find a hair tool that is actually helpful to hair health. SRI also has a sale happening right now, so shop this deal now to lock in the best price.

For the Time-Crunched Mamas

Tinted sunscreen is one of my latest obsessions because it combines the protective value of sunscreen, the dewy, medium coverage of a good concealer, and the hydrating power of your favorite moisturizer. It’s perfect for the mom who’s been slacking off on her skincare routine in favor of schlepping the little ones to school and soccer practice.

Tower28 offers a wide selection of shades, so there’s definitely one that will work for your favorite mom’s skin tone. It’s also a clean beauty brand, so she can use their products guilt-free.

For Your Home-Chef Mom

Spice up her kitchen game with this awesome 12-piece spice blend kit from Spiceology. These blends will send your favorite cooking-obsessed mom on a culinary journey around the world. Flavors from India, Korean cuisine, Jamaica, the Mediterranean, and more all await her on her expansive recipe adventure. And when she inevitably falls in love with one (or more) of these world-class blends, she can easily restock with a chef-size supply.

For The Sporty Mama

Staying active will help keep your mom young for years to come. And this activity is way more fun than cruising in silence on the elliptical. That’s why we think she’ll love her very own super cute pickleball paddle set. Pickleball is a fun, active, social activity that’s friendly to all ages and skill levels. And she’ll think of you when she’s having a blast with her new group of pickleball pals.

For Your Mom Who Just Loves Comfort

I thought my life was complete before my husband got me wool-lined moccasins, but my chilly season has been forever changed since having them in my life, and in the best way possible. These slippers from UGG have a cozy wool interior and a sturdy rubber sole, so your favorite mom can move freely between chilling indoors to walking the dog or grabbing something from the garage.

Since having a kid, I’ve also learned the value of a slip-on shoe, since I’m often operating with somewhere between zero free hands and one free hand, rendering shoe-tying extremely inconvenient. The mom in your life is sure to thank you for the cozy addition to her at-home style.
