Finding the perfect gift for mom can be such a high-stakes game. Just think of all the gifts she's given you—both the tangible and intangible. "Joy is one of the greatest gifts a mother can give her children," Ree Drummond says. "I'll always be grateful my mom gave it to us." So as Mother's Day approaches, you might want to gift her a little something extra special to show how much she means to you.

Enter this list of the most meaningful, all-around best gifts for mom. This collection will help you score some of the most original presents on the market. Most of these options double as great gifts for grandmas and gifts for mothers-in-law, too, so you can get all of your shopping done in one place. Each and every pick is as personal as a DIY gift for mom, but also incredibly practical and pretty. If your mom loves to bake, for instance, perhaps you'll want to invest in some floral ceramic bakeware or a personalized rolling pin. Or maybe she's been feeling stressed, in which case you could opt for a trendy weighted blanket or another equally cozy gift.

Whatever you eventually choose as your gift for her, it's bound to bring about a few happy tears—so make sure you've got tissues handy. And if you need more inspiration as the big day approaches, check out our Mother's Day gift guide as well! You can never have too many options.
