A gift basket always makes for the perfect present because it includes lots of smaller goodies that often last longer than one big gift. So we're sharing our Mother's Day basket ideas that will help kick-start your search in all the right ways. These aren't the gift baskets you're probably thinking of, though. Scroll on for elegant styles including giant wicker options with huge handles covered in a glossy layer of cellophane and finished off with an aggressively large ribbon. No, these ones are as stylish as their contents are useful, delicious, or relaxing. All you have to do is pick a theme you know she’ll love and have it sent to her pre-packaged to perfection. We’ve picked out a few—21, to be specific—that we think will satisfy every mom’s cravings. Whether she’s into chocolate, wine, or spa days, we've got you covered.
You see, when it comes to Mother’s Day gifts, it’s all about the thought and effort you put into it, so consider what she likes and go from there. If you need a little inspiration, keep scrolling because we've rounded up an array of options. From a wicker basket filled with a selection of cheeses made on a family-owned dairy farm to a spa-themed basket designed to lull her to sleep with lavender-based products, there are plenty of solid picks on our list.
The only thing left to do is "add to cart" and place your order. Of course, don’t forget the card—which is arguably the most important part of any gift. May will be here sooner than you think, so click through and shop.
Like most holidays, Mother's Day has a tendency to sneak up on us, so if you're in need of a last-minute basket, allow Amazon to step in. If you're a Prime member, you can get this basket—which comes with shower gel, body lotion and butter, a scrub, and a bath puff—delivered to her front door for free within two days.
Nothing challenges our creativity like putting together a charcuterie board that's as delicious as it is aesthetically pleasing, which is why we think this pre-assembled board makes for the perfect Mother's Day gift. It includes 15 hand-selected artisan cheeses, meats, dried fruits, nuts, chocolates, and olives. Plus, there's a box of rosemary and olive oil crackers. The best part? It's all packed into an acacia wood serving crate that you can actually use again. Don't worry; it's shipped chilled.
Anyone who lives in the same city as a Milk Bar can appreciate the level of delicacy that's packed into these almost too-good cookies. For those who don't, give them the gift of what we'd call the perfect dessert. No matter which flavor you try— B'day truffles, chocolate B'day truffle, the famous compost cookie, cornflake chocolate chip marshmallow cookies, chocolate confetti cookie, the regular confetti cookie, or the corn cookie—you're in for a literal treat. Did we mention there's even a slice of Milk Bar pie in here?
This purse-shaped Mother's Day basket because it doubles as ideal storage for the 15 products that come with it. From lotions to bath bombs, every product smells as beautiful as it looks, so for nights she really needs to indulge in a little TLC or self-care, she can use pretty much every product in one at-home spa session. We'd recommend using the dry body brush first because it sets the mood for the whole treatment.
Setting up a wine night is a lot harder than it sounds. After all, there are a lot of factors to consider! This Wine Maker gift basket takes all of the fuss out of the planning leaving you with nothing more to do than simply pour and enjoy. The basket includes a selection of local wines and treats from woman-owned, family businesses. Not to mention, there are also a few tasty treats that pair perfectly with the wines. Think crispy crackers, creamy camembert cheese, jam, and dried fruit.
There's nothing more calming than tea. If your mother tends to agree, spring for this on-theme Mother's Day gift basket, which comes with several varieties of tea and everything she'd like to enjoy it with. Think a smoked gouda blend, sweet hot mustard, cranberry pistachio crisps, and more.
Technically, best-selling and customizable wood and marble picnic set isn't a Mother's Day gift basket, but it comes as as set, which makes it worthy of our list. It includes a set of four coasters, a charcuterie board, and a wine cooler—all of which are composed of lightly veined marble and textured wood. Go the extra mile and get the goods monogrammed.
Another spa-centric gift set that's mom-approved? The Mama's Spa Night Kit from Honest, so you know everything is clean, cruelty-free, and healthy. The only is, it doesn't actually come in a basket, so you may want to pop the soaking salts, body oil, mud mask, serum, and fuzzy headband in your own DIY container.
If we had to pick a favorite basket, it would be this one, which is filled with four kinds of fresh cheeses, soppressata, olive oil crackers, and a sweet balsamic glaze. So if your mother likes to supplement her favorite dishes with some charcuterie, she'll love (and we mean love) this gift basket.
No mom can have too many spa goodies. In fact, no person can have too many! This set includes the best-selling goodies from Herbivore, an all-natural skincare company with some of the most beautiful and minimalistic packaging we've seen in a while. This gorgeous set comes with everything she'll need to create a spa-like oasis from her own bathroom, including the clay cleansing bar, the Calm soaking salts, a Baudelaire wooden soap dish, Pink Cloud cleanser, a Voluspa jar candle (with a 50-hour burn time, might we add), and a set of white-tipped mini matches.
A chocolate-themed gift basket is sure to satisfy her sweet tooth. This one comes with chocolate-covered everything—even potato chips! There's also popcorn, pretzels, cookies, and marshmallows, all of which are drenched in creamy chocolate.

Picnics are a lost experience that we're on a mission to bring back, so consider this our official bid to make them popular again.

The Chipwood basket is included, but there's no blanket, so you may want to pick one up before your Mother's Day picnic.

Olive & Cocoa's Tastes for Everyone basket is exactly what it sounds like. It's a gift basket filled with something the whole family can enjoy such as cheeses and crackers, nuts, spicy salsa, and chocolate.
We may have included a few cheese-centric baskets on our list, but they're all different and equally delicious. This one includes cheese from Utah-based Beehive Creamery, a family-owned-and-operated creamery. Every cheese is handcrafted in small batches using local milk from a fourth-generation dairy farm.
