12 Mother’s Day Gift Ideas: Give the Gift of TOMS
Moms are the glue that holds everything together — they’re the ones who love unconditionally, support endlessly and always feel like home. From early-morning pancakes to late-night pep talks, they give their all without asking for anything in return. A mother’s love shapes lives in ways that words can’t always capture.
Mother’s Day is about celebrating these incredible women and thanking them for a lifetime of advice, support and the way they seem to know exactly what to say (or at least how to listen). So how do you find the right gift to show your appreciation?
This year, TOMS makes it easy. Shoes make a great gift because they’re practical and personal, something she’ll reach for every day. In this guide, we’re sharing our top 12 Mother’s Day gift picks with styles for every kind of mom, from the one who’s always on the move to the one who loves a cozy day at home.
1. Comfy Slippers for the Mom Who Never Stops
No one works as hard as a mother, so when she finally gets a moment to relax, she deserves to do it right! Cozy slippers make mom’s downtime even comfier, whether she’s sipping her morning coffee, winding down after a long day or stealing a quiet moment in between. TOMS slippers are the perfect Mother’s Day gift idea because they’re soft, stylish, cushioned and perfectly warm — perfect for pampering mom at home.
2. Platform Espadrilles for the Mom Who Keeps It Fresh
Moms somehow make everything look effortless — and for some, that goes for their style too. They’ll throw on a simple outfit and somehow make it look put together. Platform espadrilles fit right into that energy, casual but elevated and stylish without looking overdone. They add the right amount of height to give outfits a fresh feel while staying as comfortable as her favorite pair of flats. Perfect for brunch or a dinner date with the kids, these shoes do it all — just like mom.

A great pair of sunglasses are always a great gift suggestion for Mother’s Day because they’re practical, stylish and instantly add a bit of elegance to any outfit. From chic cat eyes to oversized frames or something bold, give mom a pair of sunnies that are easy to throw on, hard to forget and always stylish.
