The holidays are a great time to show the people closest to you just how much they mean to you. It can be fun to spoil and pamper your loved ones with presents, but finding the perfect gift can also be a little daunting — especially when it's someone as important as your mom. Over the course of your life, your mom has probably done so much for you that no gift feels quite special enough to truly capture how thankful you are. It's important to remember that the holidays aren't about the amount of money you spend — the best gifts for moms are things she'll appreciate and get good use out of.
Candles, skin-care sets, fancy lipsticks, and cool beauty gadgets all make great presents for your mom, but so do things like new silk pillowcases (they're better for your skin and hair), hydrating hand creams (because winter is harsh), and even special hair towels. If your mom is into makeup, gift her some new brushes; if she likes to unwind with a long, hot bath, get her some indulgent bath salts; if she's someone who wishes she could go to the hair salon every day for a blowout, consider splurging on a new hairdryer or curling iron (or even a gift card to her favourite spot) — the options go on and on.
Ahead, we rounded up the best beauty gifts for mom ranging from super affordable presents you can pick up at Target to more luxury items from Nordstrom and Sephora.
