Upgrade her bedtime routine with this sumptuous gift set, complete with an oil cleanser, serum, cream, eye balm and a crystal gua sha from clean beauty brand Tata Harper.

This set is all about scalp care, and comes with a pre-wash hair treatment and active serum, as well as a clear quartz scalp massager, for the ultimate at-home haircare moment.

If she's been eyeing a Dyson, then gift her this splurge-worthy, limited edition hair dryer, which comes with five styling attachments, for everything from volumizing and curling to smoothing and straightening.

While Baccarat Rouge has fast become one of the most well-known fragrances from Maison Francis Kurkdjian, don't sleep on the brand's other luxe perfumes, like this delightful, bright 724 aroma. While gifting perfume can be tricky, this dreamy scent, with notes of bergamot, jasmine and orange, is sure to become her new signature scent.

This four-piece self-care set is the perfect gift for the new mom in your life; it comes with a Babymoon Belly Balm, Lip Butter, Jet Lag Mask and Body Lotion, all in an adorable little pouch.

The only thing better than a 24-karat gold bauble is a 24-karat gold skincare product. Chantecaille's luxe serum contains pure gold, vitamin C, peptides, botanicals and hyaluronic acid, which work together to help firm and brighten skin tone, along with reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

Chanel's hydrating Rouge Coco Baume is quite possibly the most luxurious lip balm out there; it's filled with antioxidants, too, for a luminous pout.

Skincare isn't just about face products. This lush, anti-aging hand lotion is so nourishing and hydrating, with reparative and protective properties thanks to shea butter, macadamia oil, avocado oil and grapeseed oil, for soft and smooth hands.

This new RéVive serum is amazing for anyone with sensitive or reactive skin types; it helps reduce irritation and calm down the look of stressed out, dehydrated skin. If you really want to treat mom (as you should!), go all out and gift her the whole RéVive Sensitif line, including a day cream, night cream, eye cream and SPF.

A cleansing balm is perhaps the best way to remove makeup, and Farmacy's Melt It All Away gift set includes both the brand's full-sized essential oil-filled cleanser balm as well as two scrunchies and a travel pouch.

Cle de Peau's anti-aging eye cream is a splurge-worthy beauty product that she’ll so appreciate. It gently firms, lifts and plumps the sensitive eye area, with ingredients like retinol ACE that help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

This face mask is the perfect gift for the mom who wants to get in *all* the self-care but doesn't have a ton of time, as it takes just one minute—seriously, just leave this on for 60 seconds (that's actually the maximum amount of recommended time!) for exfoliation and more radiant, tightened and refined skin.

The only thing better than gifting mom one of Augustinus Bader's lush Rich Cream moisturizers is presenting her with both a full-size and travel-size of the beloved product.

You can't go wrong with anything in Charlotte Tilbury's cult-favorite Pillow Talk collection. While the lipstick might be one of the most buzzed about items, don't sleep on this eyeshadow quad, which comes with four shimmery and matte shades and directions on how to create the perfect glam looks.

A lymphatic drainage treatment is always nice, and now she can get all the benefits without leaving home thanks to this kit, which includes a drainage tool, oil and lifting and toning cream, which help fight water retention and the look of cellulite, all while evening out skin texture and helping to hydrate, too.

Whether she's a Laneige newbie or a longtime devotee of the brand, she’ll love a restock of this viral lip mask.

This new Theraface LED lets her have a true at-home spa day, complete with LED light therapies, as well as microcurrent treatments and more.

A spicy floral Diptyque hair perfume is surely the most elegant way to add a little extra fragrance to her routine.
