You should not take the task of choosing the ideal Mother's Day gift lightly. It's a given that moms run the entire show, so we should set aside at least one whole day to express our gratitude to them with the greatest mother's day gifts.

I rarely hear mothers yawn about what they want; most of the mothers I know, including my own, are more focused on making sure everyone else has what they need. Therefore, selecting the ideal Mother's Day present can be difficult. But don't worry, assistance is on the way.

Our team at KnowInsiders has gathered our best Mother's Day gift suggestions by pooling our collective mother-loving brains.

We have put together a variety of thoughtful gifts that should delight the mother or motherly figure in your life this year, regardless of whether the mom in your life is a foodie mom, techie mom, working mom, a mom who occasionally experiences moments of nostalgia, or a mom who simply enjoys a good glass of wine. Of course, these presents are also appropriate for all those "special someones"—grandmothers, stepmothers, aunts, mentors, and other family members who also merit appreciation and recognition.

1. Weighted blanket

This past Christmas, one of our editors got his mother a weighted blanket, and he's happy to report that it helped her sleep much better by reducing her symptoms of restless legs syndrome.

2. Yeti Rambler insulated travel mug

A travel mug from the Rambler line of oh-so-cool coolers with a sliding lid would be a great present for mom. We adore these for coffee, wine, soup, tea, or even wine; they keep the hots hot and the colds cold. They are long-lasting, available in seven different colors, and come in a variety of sizes.

3. Matcha maker

At the push of a button, treat Mom to a classy tea party. This is a fuss-free way to grind fresh, vibrant green Japanese signature tea. Though it costs about $370, it is quite expensive, but it is gorgeous and makes an incredibly delicious cup of nutrient-rich tea. Mom may be looking for the concentrated boost that matcha is known for, as it has a longer lasting effect than a typical cup of coffee.

7. An iconic Dutch oven

The Dutch oven is the most versatile kitchen tool available. It's perfect for mom to use for making soups, stewing sauces, frying food, sautéing veggies, and so much more. It's time to get her our favorite model, the Staub (yes, it beat the coveted Le Creuset), if she doesn't already have this essential kitchen appliance.

While it cost almost half as much as the well-known brand and fit better on the stovetop, we discovered that the Staub Round Cocotte performed on par with, if not better than, the Le Creuset Dutch Oven. The Staub is multicolored, strong, easy to clean, and the ideal shape for the pantry and stove.

9. Grace Eleyae Slap Cap

Is it time for an upgrade, perhaps? Tembe Denton-Hurst, a strategist and beauty writer, swears by sleeping in Grace Eleyae's "unassuming, comfy," charmeuse satin-lined Slap Cap, which she claims is also fashionable enough to wear for Zoom calls. "I always know I'm in good company whenever I see its familiar black tab: the woman at Dig Inn who wears hers in place of a hair net, my sister's mother, Viola Davis on set," says Denton-Hurst. "Being a fan of Grace Eleyae is sort of like being part of a stylish bonnet-wearing sisterhood."
