It’s almost impossible to go wrong with chocolates for Mother’s Day—especially when the chocolates in question are a gift basket filled with milk chocolate truffles.

I firmly believe that all home cooks should secure the Always Pan—especially while it’s 23% off. This pretty pan replaces 10 pieces of traditional cookware, making it a small kitchen staple. Use it to braise, sear, steam, strain, sauté, fry, boil, bake, and serve. Then, stack all the pieces inside to easily store it in a cabinet. It’s so pretty that mom may prefer to leave it on the counter.
It’s the ideal gift for anyone—new moms, grandmas and aunts alike.
Life is better with blankets. It’s just a fact. While there are tons of throw blankets available that make amazing Amazon Mother’s Day gifts, the Marshmallow blanket is probably the coziest we’ve found. Apart from being good for the earth, these recycled kitten-soft blankets weigh a whopping 9.5 pounds—the ideal lap warmer.
Secure one for mom in one of 12 rich colors before they sell out—and they will at a savings of $50.
Over one million positive ratings on Amazon prove that the Echo Dot is one of the best smart assistants available—and it’s currently 50% off, making it only $20. A perfect gift for wives and moms, the Echo Dot uses Alexa to play music, search online and even order items through Amazon. Secure her new smart hub before the sale ends.
Spoil your wife with a gift that’s as sweet as she is. The Brunch Club candle has a modern look that adds a fun touch to desks, end tables and vanities. When lit, it fills the room with the rich aroma of bright bubbly, citrus, berries and tonka bean. With a burn time of up to 80 hours, it’s well worth the price while it’s on a $10 markdown.
We all know that the gift grandma wants this year is a KitchenAid stand mixer, and it’s high time she has one. It’s the perfect time to splurge, too—it’s on sale for $90 off. She’s not the only one who benefits from 10 speeds, a tilt-head design and a huge 4.5-quart bowl, either. This thing will have her slamming out nine dozen cookies in a single batch!
