Holidays can quickly become overwhelming when you're stumped on what to give the person you're celebrating as a gift. Regardless if you want it to be something unique and personalized, practical and problem-solving, or tied to an inside joke you share, it's easy to experience decision paralysis while searching for the perfect present.

With Mother's Day quickly approaching (that's right, it's May 14), we thought we'd try to make shopping for the moms in our lives a little easier this year. Whether she's the type of person who spends hours in the garden, is known for her spicy margarita recipe, or loves a good spa day, here are 24 of our favorite products to make any mom feel loved.

1. Barebones Living Classic Leather Work Gloves, $22

If your mom has a green thumb, she might be in need of some new gardening gloves. These are made from cowhide leather, come in two spring colors, and will keep her hands protected as she rips weeds, plants bulbs, and packs potting soil.

2. The Essential Garden Seat & Tool Kit, $98

Is the mom you're shopping for newer to the gardening scene? This essential set from Picnic Time will set her up perfectly for tending to her spring and summer blooms. Not only does it include all of the tools she'll need—a large trowel, small trowel, garden fork, cultivator, and weeder—the storage tote they come in doubles as a seat (her back will thank you).

3. Ceramic Self-Watering Planters, $36

Just because someone loves to keep plants in their home, it doesn't necessarily mean they're great at keeping those same plants alive. If that sounds like your mom, try gifting her this self-watering planter from Greenery Unlimited. It comes in two sizes, four colors, and has a sub-irrigation system that lets the plants absorb all of the water they need from the bottom of the pot.

4. Faux Cactus, $108 $92

If she'd rather not deal with watering plants at all, try this faux cactus from The Sill. It's realistic enough to trick people into thinking it's real without any of the upkeep a live plant requires.

5. This Fresh Ceramic Square Candle, $45

The Fresh scented candle from Luxurious Essentials smells exactly like my childhood home. With notes of orange, cinnamon, vetiver, clove, and pine, it has a scent that's simultaneously light, crisp, and warm. But if you think your mom would prefer something different, don't worry: There are 16 other scents to choose from (including chardonnay, cypress, and gardenia). Another perk? These candles have a 55-hour burn time and are made from all-natural, non-toxic, gluten-free, parabens-free, and phthalate-free soy and coconut wax blends.

6. Plant the Box Scented Candles, $30

Not only does this candle come in eight different herbal scents, each one comes in biodegradable, seed-infused packaging that lets you grow the plant the candle is inspired by.

7. Rattan Big Luggy Rolling Market Cart, $169 $150

8. Multi-Pocket Canvas Market Tote, $55+

If she prefers a classic tote, this multi-pocket bag is ideal for any kind of grocery trip or errand-filled day. It has six to eight pockets (depending on the size) and even features a strap on the outside to keep any fresh flowers she picks up safe and secure. Does she need smaller reusable bags for her produce and happen to like pops of color? Get her this fruit-printed trio from Baggu to go along with this tote (they'll fit perfectly in one of its many pockets!).

9. ZWILLING Enfinigy Personal Blender, $170 $100

If blending a smoothie or juice is part of her morning routine, surprise her with this (on-sale!) personal blender from ZWILLING. It's small but mighty, and the blending cup can even be taken on-the-go once she twists on the attachable lid.
