Best Gifts For Mom Who Doesn't Want Anything
If your mom constantly says she doesn‘t want anything for her birthday, Christmas, or Mother’s Day, this gift guide is for you. We’ve rounded up the best gifts for mom that doesn’t want anything, from a beautiful piece of jewelry to a luxurious robe.
1. Smart Mug
Does mom enjoy a hot beverage every morning? If so, she’ll love this smart mug from Ember. It allows her to set the desired temperature of her favorite beverage and it will maintain that temperature for hours! I never realized I needed one of these until I was gifted one, now I can’t live without it!
2. Personal Alarm
This is a great gift for any mom, but especially the mom’s who enjoy walking by themselves. It’s a personal safety alarm that emits an extremely loud siren when the pin is pulled. It also has a built-in strobe light to help draw attention to her location. Hopefully, they never need it, but it’s a great thing to have, just in case.
3. Massage Gun
A massage gun is an excellent gift for moms who like to work out or have a physically demanding job – like being a mom! It’s a percussion massager that helps with recovery, soreness, knots, etc. It’s also small, so she can toss it in her purse or suitcase to use on the go!
4. Bidet
This bidet from TUSHY is awesome! It works off of regular water pressure from the tank, so there’s no need to call an electrician or plumber to install it – it only takes a few minutes to install. It’s self-cleaning and aesthetically pleasing. The best part? Mom will never have to worry about a run on toilet paper again!
5. Car Vacuum
Is your mom a bit of a neat freak? Mine is, and that’s why I got her this small handheld vacuum for her car. She keeps it in her trunk and uses it to quickly take care of messes from her grandkids or spilled potting soil. It’s powered by the vehicle’s auxiliary power outlet, so there is no need to worry about charging.
6. Seat Gap Filler
This is a really great gift for mom’s who spend a lot of time on the road. It’s a seat gap filler to prevent her phone, keys, change, or anything else from falling into the dark abyss.
7. Foam Roller
Foam rollers are amazing and everyone should own one. They’re especially great for people who work out, but everyone can benefit from one, regardless of their activity level. It’s like getting a deep tissue massage in the comfort of your own home.
8. Weather Station
This is one of the coolest gifts for moms who don’t want anything. It’s a weather station with a digital monitor and smartphone app to allow them to see the exact weather conditions in their backyard. It’ll tell her how much rain she’s gotten, what the UV index is, the temperature, and more.

This is more of a gag gift, but it will almost certainly go over well. Give her a few pairs of these with each of her kid’s or grandkid’s faces.

Digital photo frames are great for moms who don’t want anything and have everything. It’s a great way for them to display the hundreds of photos they have on their photos but have yet to print out. These are also great for grandparents, but you may need to assist them with loading the images!

16. Yeti Rambler
This is a more low-tech way to keep moms beverages at the perfect temperature, but it’s still very effective.

If your mom is on her feet all day long, she will love this foot bath to sooth her feet after a long day. The heated bubbles and water jets provide a nice foot massage in the comfort of her home.

There are small prompts for every day of the week which ask you to write about what would make the day great, what you appreciate, and what you learned. It’s simple and effective.
