Moms want to be seen on Mother's Day, and I'm a believer that the right gift can do just that. As Yahoo's Gifting Editor, I search high and low for ideas that'll make her feel the love, but I also know that the best Mother's Day gifts are often the trendiest ones. And you know who knows the trends better than anyone? Our old, reliable friend, Google.
That's right, Google sifted through its searches to compile a list of this year's hottest Mother's Day gifts. So, what does the data tell us? Classics take the cake — searches for Mother's Day flowers lead the way, followed by birthstone jewelry and food gifts. Moms are also in need of some elevated basics, given that interest in short-sleeve pajama sets (á la White Lotus) soared to new heights in the last month.
You'll see a lot of the usual suspects — I'm talking blossoming bouquets, Mom-approved tech and statement jewels from none other than Kendra Scott. All of the picks below are backed by data, so you really can't go wrong. (And if you need even more ideas, look no further than our list of Mother's Day gifts that Yahoo readers are buying in droves — our take on the trends, if you will.)
Want to give her something that's just as timely as it is timeless? Watches top the list of Google searches for Mother's Day gifts under $100 this year. Specifically, bracelet bands and two-tone styles are in demand, and this Anne Klein favorite checks all the boxes. The black-and-gold option is the best deal (almost 75% off!), but it also comes in eight other equally chic color combos.
Shower her with sunshine this Mother's Day. Sunflowers are the main draw here, but this stunning selection is rounded out with alstroemeria, roses and other floral favorites. Snag it now for 30% off.
Everyone and their mother loves Kendra Scott. The brand's bestselling Elisa Pendant earned a top spot on Google's Holiday 100 last year, but now it's all about these birthstone beauties. These sparkly stunners are dominating right now, with Google searches at an all-time high in the lead up to Mother's Day. Just be sure to double-check Mom's ring size before you place your order.
Amazon Kindle is the cream of the crop in the e-reader department, but if you were to ask our tech editor Rick Broida (I did, by the way), the 11th-generation Paperwhite is actually the best there is. It has a larger screen than the baseline Kindle, a "warmth slider" for nighttime reading and up to 10 weeks of battery life — need I say more?
Quality PJs are one of life's little luxuries and, let's face it, Mom deserves to sleep like a queen. Interest in short-sleeve sets have spiked ever since White Lotus aired, but cotton pajamas remain the most sought-after option. This style combines the two, plus you can nab it in the season's "it" color, butter yellow or a cute trendy fruit print.
Handwoven bags scream "summer" — and that's why searches for 'em are hotter than ever right now. Sure, raffia styles are a warm-weather staple, but this purse with a leather-like finish is far more elevated, so she can easily take it from day to night.
When the wind picks up, the acrylic heart will start to sway back and forth, resulting in some sweet, sweet music. And if a hefty glass of wine is the way to her heart, then this upcycled wind chime will speak to her soul in more ways than one.
