We all know there’s nothing she’d like more than a schmaltzy card and a macaroni necklace.* But we also know that there’s no one who loves you like your mama, so let’s put a bit more effort into it this year, Chief.

Show your mom some love with a little something from our Mother’s Day gift guide. For bonus points, have your gifts shipped to Miraval and send Mom to pick them up. (You may want to let her stay for a few days, too.)

*This is not true, no matter how many times your mother tells you it is.

SHOW OFF

• After she polishes off the yummy treats inside Harry and David’s Chocolate Truffle Photo Box, she’ll have the perfect place to stash all of those snapshots of you in your Wonder Woman Underoos.
• Our very own Magnetic Photo Rope makes it easy for Mama to trade out her favorite pics whenever she’d like.
• Give her a sleek new way to put your more wall-appropriate photos on display with a Trapeze Frame from Chiasso.
• Make sure she’s thinking of you at all hours with a personalized carved nightlight from Light Affection.
• Turn Mom’s living room into a gallery space with some seriously cool personalized artwork by Trunk’t Gallery or Me Art.

CARRY THAT WEIGHT!

The “mom bag” is a serious piece of equipment. Make sure your mom has everything she needs on hand with a clutch (also available here) or, for the mom with more to haul, a big ol’ tote (also available here.)

LEISURE TIME

• Show your mom how much other people love their mothers with a copy of “Our Mothers: Portraits by 72 Women Photographers.”
• Give Mom something to do with her “free time”: a photo puzzle!
• If your mom’s a photography fan, first tell her to subscribe to Photojojo. Then watch her go angle-crazy with the gift of a Monsterpod or a Gorillapod.

DIY LOVE

• A set of marble magnets will mean Mama’s thinking of you whenever she wants a snack.
• Help Mom remember her ABCs with an alphabet photo album made with her favorite things in mind.
• Appeal to her sweet tooth with a dozen cupcakes featuring the fam.
• Light up her life with a set of Martha-rific photo lanterns.
• And of course, there’s always that macaroni necklace.
