18 Nordstrom Mother's Day Gifts, From Editor-Favorites to Bestsellers

The Five Minute Journal ($29)

Looking for a gift that leans into intentional living? The Five Minute Journal makes it easy to dip your toe into the world of journaling. It's filled with writing prompts that help to guide you towards a positive mindset to start or end the day. It will last for six months of daily journal writing. Our editor tested it out and says it's helped her to be more mindful. For more details, read her review of The Five Minute Journal.

Editor quote: "It's a great way for me to set an intention for my day, start with gratitude, and remind myself of what's really worth prioritizing. I find that when I write down my intentions, I really am more mindful throughout the day, and I use the nighttime prompts as a way to reflect on the good, and bad, parts of my day. It truly is a five-minute (max!) commitment, and I have seen my gratitude levels markedly improve since I started using it." — India Yaffe, former associate editor, Commerce

Olaplex No. 7 Bonding Oil ($30)

Anyone who regularly uses heat to style their hair will appreciate this hair oil. It helps to protect from heat damage, soften strands, and restore shine. The best part is that it's lightweight, so it won't leave hair feeling greasy, and it has a clean and subtle fragrance. Our editor tried it on her naturally curly hair and is now hooked. For more details, read her Olaplex No. 7 Bonding Oil review.

Editor quote: "After I apply this oil, my hair immediately absorbs it. I can layer on as much as I need to without worrying about it weighing down my layers. I love that I can add it to my hair when it's damp for heat protection and then work it through the ends and the layers around my face once it's dry. The buildable formula is easy to use without worrying about overdoing it, so I usually apply a little every day in between washes. I'm still surprised by how soft my curls feel after applying it." — Angela Elias, contributing editor, Commerce

Nodpod Silk & Velvet Weighted Sleep Mask ($62)

This sleep mask feels like a weighted blanket for your eyes, so it's a deeply soothing way to block light. Made from slippery silk and plush velvet, it's a comforting sensory experience all around. Our former editor tested it out and reluctantly shared it with her husband, who also became a fan. For more details, read her Nodpod Silk & Velvet Weighted Sleep Mask review.

Editor quote: "The NodPod is best for those looking to level up their sleep routine by blocking out light and promoting relaxation. Whether you're already a fan of weighted blankets, white noise machines and other sleep products or brand-new to the category entirely, it might just surprise you as much as it did my husband and I." — Murphy Moroney, former associate editor, Family

Casper The Original Pillow ($65-$85)

A sleeping pillow upgrade is a gift anyone can benefit from, especially if they're dealing with neck or shoulder pain. This Casper pillow features a pillow-in-pillow design to provide plush support. Our editor tested it and loved the way it shifted to provide just the right support for different sleeping positions. For more details, read her Casper The Original Pillow review.

Editor quote: "The first night I used this pillow, I had zero expectations. The next morning, I woke up shocked — I had slept through the night without a single disturbance. I thought it was just a fluke, but night after night, I was sleeping soundly and feeling energized the next day. I was even naturally waking up earlier. I love that it's soft and fluffy like you'd expect a pillow to be, but the shape actually shifts throughout the night depending on how you move (more on that later), which makes for a more comfortable sleep." — Macy Cate Williams, former content director, Commerce

Coyuchi Solstice Organic Cotton Jersey Robe ($78)

For a soft and lightweight robe made for warmer months, this organic cotton jersey robe is worth trying. The kimono-style sleeves offer plenty of room, so it's easy to layer over pajamas, and the removable belt helps to get a perfect fit. It also comes in a charcoal gray color.

Nike Air Force 1 '07 Sneaker ($81)

For a pair of sneakers that straddle the line between sporty and stylish, you can't go wrong with Nike's Air Force 1 '07 style. Drawing on its original '80s design, this modern version has a low-cut silhouette and looks just as good with biker shorts as it does with dresses. You can choose from an all-white design, white and red, or this fun patterned option. Three of our editors put this shoe to the test and appreciated how comfortable, cute, and versatile it is. For more details, read their Nike Air Force 1 '07 Sneaker review.

Editor quote: "I'm not a regular sneakers wearer, so I was surprised by how much I love the Nike Air Max 90 Futura sneakers. First of all, they're comfortable with a plush ankle padding and Max Air cushioning, so I literally never want to take them off. But they're also stylish enough that they pair well with my wardrobe of mostly dresses." — Jessica Andrews, senior fashion director, Commerce

Spanx Suit Yourself Boat Neck Rib Bodysuit ($88)

A quality bodysuit is a wardrobe staple, and this option from Spanx helps to smooth with its core-shaping technology. It has a thong back and just the right amount of stretch. Our editor tested it out and can't get over how comfortable it is. For more details, read her Spanx Suit Yourself Boat Neck Rib Bodysuit review.

Editor quote: "Despite its ribbed design, the style is thin and lightweight, and the material is remarkably soft. It feels more like a second skin rather than a long-sleeve layer, and I feel comfortable wearing it year-round thanks to its breathable design." — Kyley Warren, assistant editor, Commerce

Slip Pure Silk Pillowcase ($89-$110)

This pure silk pillowcase prevents sleep creases and bed head, but it also helps to keep skin and hair hydrated. Silk is less absorbent than many other fibers, so it helps to keep expensive skin-care products on the skin, rather than absorbed by the pillowcase. It's a favorite among celebrities like Jordyn Woods, Ayesha Curry, and more.

Levi's Ribcage Acid Wash High Waist Ankle Straight Leg Jeans ($98)

These iconic Levi's have a vintage flavor, but feel undeniably fresh with an ultra-high waist and a cropped ankle. Nordstrom customers find that they run a bit small, so you may want to consider sizing up. They're made from 99 percent cotton with just one percent elastane, so they have a subtle stretch that makes the high waist more comfortable. Our editor tested them out and reaches for them all the time. For more details, read her Levi's Ribcage Acid Wash High Waist Ankle Straight Leg Jeans review.

Editor quote: "Not to sound like a broken record, but what I love most about the Levi's Ribcage Straight Ankle Jeans is their comfort. They're stretchy, high-waisted, and slightly cropped, landing at the ankle. They're just rigid enough to have structure but soft enough that I look forward to slipping into them at the start of the day. They've become the It girl of my denim collection because they go with everything and are reliably comfortable." — Marisa Petrarca, contributing editor, Commerce

Madewell The Essential Mini Bucket Tote ($138)

This compact bucket tote is just the right size for carrying the essentials and will go with practically any outfit. It features a magnetic closure and an interior pocket and is crafted from smooth leather. If quiet luxury is her thing, she'll appreciate this bag.

Eberjey Whipstitch Jersey Short Pajamas ($138)

Eberjey is known for making buttery soft pajamas, and the whipstitch detail on this shorts style also happens to be on-trend. They're a dream to slip into on warm evenings and a must have for hot sleepers. They come in five colors, including this navy option.

Our Place Always Pan 2.0 Set ($150)

For the mom who craves an easier food prep routine, this internet-famous pan is versatile and non-stick, so it's bound to become her favorite. It features a built-in spoon rest with a wooden spatula and a steamer basket. Our editor tested it out and uses it so often that she doesn't bother putting it away after washing it. For more details, read her Our Place Always Pan 2.0 Set review.

Editor quote: "The versatility of the Our Place Always Pan 2.0 is unmatched; you can cook breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert all in one place. I've been experimenting with this pan for a little while, and I've made everything, including fried eggs, chicken curry, pasta, and baked cinnamon rolls. I use this pan so much that it's perpetually sitting on my drying rack." — Anvita Reddy, assistant editor, Commerce

Estelle Colored Glass Stemless Wineglasses ($170)

These elegant wine glasses are ideal for wine lovers and anyone who loves to host. This amber smoke-tinted color gives them a vintage feel and is one of seven gorgeous color options. They're hand-blown in Poland and the brand is Black-owned/founded.

Ugg Classic Mini II Genuine Shearling Lined Boot ($160)

The short length of these Uggs makes them wearable for most of the year. The shearling lining envelopes feet to makes them feel cozy and supportive. Our editor tested them out and gushes about their comfort in her Ugg Classic Mini II Genuine Shearling Lined Boot review.

Editor quote: "As cliché as it sounds, wearing these boots genuinely feels like walking on clouds. They boast a thick sheepskin lining that strikes the perfect balance between warmth and comfort without making my feet sweaty. Although I wear them as everyday footwear, they outshine even my coziest slippers when it comes to comfort." — MP

Hoka Gaviota 5 Running Shoes ($175)

For a comfortable running shoe that helps with stability, it's hard to beat this Hoka option. The mesh upper keeps feet ventilated while you work out, and the tongue and collar have plush padding to give a snug but cushioned feel. Our editor, who admits to being prone to tripping, loves how stable these shoes make her feel, whether she's working out or just riding the subway. For more details, read her Hoka Gaviota 5 Running Shoes review.

Editor quote: "The Hoka Gaviota 5 sneakers are the most supportive sneakers I've tried for my arched feet, and I never had to break them in. They truly fit like a puzzle piece, offering cushioning where I need it most, like at the arch of my foot and near the back of my ankles. Since these are stability sneakers, I've seen a significant improvement in balance, especially while working out and stretching, but also during my daily life, like when the subway I'm on brakes suddenly." — AR

Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Ribbed Throw Blanket ($198-$225)

For an unbelievably soft blanket for snuggling on the sofa or bed, it doesn't get better than this Barefoot Dreams option. It's a favorite among celebrities like Khloé Kardashian and Joanna Gaines (who refers to it as her "adult baby blanket"). Our editor tested it out in her home and now fully understands the hype. For more details, read her Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Ribbed Throw Blanket review.

Editor quote: "I expected it to be soft and warm since the brand is practically synonymous with all things cozy — the product name is "CozyChic" after all. That said, reading about how good it feels really doesn't do it justice. Like silk pajamas or a cashmere sweater, it's hard to justify the cost until you feel it against your skin. As soon as I took it out of the packaging, my 4- and 7-year-old boys dove for the couch to curl up with it and didn't want to get up. At 54 by 72 inches, it's also large enough for two people to comfortably share — no tug of war necessary." — AE

Coach Tabby 20 Quilted Leather Shoulder Bag ($395)

If she enjoys playful colors, this sunny yellow Coach bag will become a staple in her spring and summer wardrobe. The puffy, quilted bag features a leather-braided chain strap and can fit a surprising amount of things despite its compact size. Our editor tested it out and loves the way the inner compartments are designed. For more details, read her Coach Tabby 20 Quilted Leather Shoulder Bag review.

Editor quote: "First and foremost, I love just how much I can fit into this accessory, despite its compact size. The bag is deceptively spacious, with an exterior pocket, a zippered interior pocket, and three roomy divided sections on the inside. The interior is, in fact, big enough to fit everything from an iPhone 13 to a passport holder, sunglasses, car keys, emergency lipstick, and more." — KW

Dyson Airwrap Multi-Styler ($600)

If you're looking for a splurge-worthy gift for her, the Dyson Airwrap is the do-it-all hair styling tool that can cut styling time in half by drying and styling at the same time. It includes six different attachments for different hair types, lengths, and styles. Our editor has been using it since 2019 and claims it's worth the $600 price tag. For more details, read her Dyson Airwrap Multi-Styler review.

Editor quote: "Not only did the Airwrap change the way I felt about my short hair, but it also made it much easier to style. Since then, I've had every haircut imaginable — from long with tons of layers to midlength with blunt ends and even curtain bangs. Although my hair is endlessly changing, the one tool I've been able to use, no matter the hairstyle, has been my Dyson Airwrap." — Renee Rodriguez, staff writer and social producer
