The 12 best Mother's Day gifts handpicked by Yahoo editors

This might be the coolest (pun intended) gadget I've seen all year. No, misting devices are nothing new, but this one does triple duty as a pedestal and tabletop fan. It can be used indoors or outside, has up to an impressive 70-foot reach and can lower temps by as much as 12°. There are five speeds and two breeze modes to choose from, oscillating and tilting options ... in short, if you're looking to cool down this summer, you can't go wrong. Did I mention it just dipped to an all-time low price to boot?

"Last Mother's Day, I ditched real flowers for this Lego flower bouquet and it was a huge hit with my mom. Instead of sending a real arrangement that only lasts a few days, we worked on assembling this together as a Mother's Day project. (It has over 750 pieces, so it took a few sessions!) Now she has it displayed year-round in the living room — I can't get over how realistic-looking the roses, snapdragons, daisies and other flower are." — Rory Halperin, Senior Commerce Editor, Branded Content

"I received the original Bird Buddy soon after it came on the market, and was blown away by the concept — pictures of visiting feathered friends sent right to your phone! I quickly came to realize that the solar option was probably a better option for me, because I wasn't always on top of recharging it. So, I'm going to get my mom the one with a solar roof this Mother's Day to make it even easier for her to enjoy the wildlife in her yard. This thing is amazing — you fill it up with birdseed and get an alert and image when someone comes to play, along with fun facts about the bird. (Thanks, AI!) You can even give birds nicknames and create folders for repeat visitors." — Nicole Sforza, Executive Editor

"This simple yet sweet 14K gold bracelet is definitely one of the best Mother's Day gifts I've ever received. The interlocking rings are a beautiful symbol of the unbreakable mother-daughter bond, and I like that the design is a little more subtle than, say, a monogram necklace with my daughter's initial (no shade, I have one of those, too!). Because this piece is made from real gold, I never take it off and never have to worry about it tarnishing if it comes into contact with water. I've had it for a few years now and other than minor scratches, it's still just as lovely and special as the day I got it." — Jeanine Edwards, Director, Commerce Initiatives

Take it from this five-star Amazon reviewer: “The Aura Carver is not just a digital picture frame; it's a gateway to shared moments and cherished memories.” Set it up in advance by uploading your favorite pictures and videos with Dad to the Aura app. Then once it’s connected to WiFi, he can cycle through them and add some of his own.

"My son got me this tray last year for Mother's Day and it's one of my most prized possessions. The olive wood and the hand-painted tiles are stunning, and it's so beautifully made, it feels incredibly indulgent every time I use it. I love it because my great-grandmother immigrated to the United States from Tunisia. My son loves it because the "Star Wars" Tatooine scenes were filmed there, so it holds sentimental significance for both of us." — Janelle Randazza, Commerce Editor

"My mom requested comfy pajama pants a few years back, and the flannel pair I bought her from Gap quickly became one of her favorite things to wear. Whether she's going to bed or lounging around the house playing Wordle, they're what she reaches for when she wants to feel cozy. She's on the taller side and can be tough to buy clothes for, so I appreciate that they come in different lengths. Oh, and they're super discounted at the moment! (P.S. They're also available as shorts for people who sleep hot.)" — Britt Ross, Senior Deals Writer

"One year, I got my mom, my grandmother, and me matching LL Bean Boats and Totes personalized with our initials. I'm of the mindset that you're never too old for a mommy-and-me moment, so I love the idea of having coordinating bags with two of the women I love most. Of course, it doesn't hurt that these totes are legit amazing. They're hand-sewn and made from super durable cotton that lasts for years. I've used mine for weekend trips, daily errands and everything in between for years, and it's still holding up just fine. Can't recommend these bags highly enough!" — Jeanine Edwards, Director, Commerce Initiatives

(Psst, you can monogram your tote for free from now until Mother's Day!) 

"This cashmere throw serves double duty as a Mother’s Day and and 'I’m sorry I moved an extra hour away from you' gift; it’s impossibly soft, lightweight enough for cool summer nights and looks just as luxe as it feels. It costs half of what some pricier brands charge for a blanket of equal caliber, too. I would have happily dropped even more dough for it, though. It paid for itself the first time I heard my mom brag to a visiting friend: 'Thanks, it’s cashmere.'" — Izabella Zaydenberg, Deputy Editor

"I got this silk tank as a Mother's Day gift a few years ago, and it's one of the most versatile and luxurious pieces in my closet. Even though it's technically a sleep top, when I first got it, it felt too nice to sleep in, so I wore it layered under blazers. Nowadays, I sleep in it almost every night. It feels so indulgent to slumber in, yet it's totally breathable (excellent for those of us who run hot). I plan on gifting this peachy/pinky beige color to my mom this year with the accompanying pants. She's big on refined glamour, so I think I'll knock it out of the park." — Janelle Randazza, Commerce Editor
