With a 4 inch x 4 inch design area, Poppy Monk's Needlepoint Kit is compact but has a major wow factor when the project is complete. The kit comes with a mix of premium silk and cotton threads, plus instructions and diagrams for decorative stitches. And if Chinoiserie isn't her style, the brand offers plenty of other options from cute dogs to pretty botanical prints.

BlueMercury

If you think that there's not a huge difference between hairbrushes, then you’ve never tried a Mason Pearson brush.

This pocket size version, in particular, is perfect for grandma to throw in her bag and go.

Available in a range of ten colors, you can even choose her favorite shade and get it personalized with her initials or a sweet nickname.

The Sill

A Peperomia Obtusifolia plant is always a safe gift—green thumb or not. This one from The Sill is incredibly low-maintenance, yet still boasts lush leaves when placed in medium to bright indirect light. Once a year it will even surprise her with white floral blooms.

CHANEL

If there's a lip color range that suits everyone, Chanel is it. The Chanel Rouge Coco Lip Color has a smooth moisturizing finish, that's also flattering, long-lasting and surprisingly full-coverage. It's available in 19 shades including our favorite, Mademoiselle (above), a shimmering neutral that works on many different skin tones.

Pottery Barn Kids

An ode to the little ones who made her a grandma, Vana Chupp Studio's silhouette portrait can depict the custom profiles of her grandchildren. You can personalize the gift further by adding names or monograms. Since the portrait is made-to-order, note that it can't be returned and may require additional time for completion.

Bluemercury

It's never too late for grandma to level up her sunscreen game. Add a simple step to her morning skin routine with EltaMD's oil-free broad-spectrum facial sunscreen with SPF 46. It goes on smooth without feeling oily, plus helps protect sensitive skin with a mix of powerful antioxidants and vitamins.

Williams Sonoma

For the grandma that's a busy bee in the kitchen, elevate her bakeware game with Williams Sonoma's darling Honeycomb Bee Bakers set. Made in Portugal, this duo features high pressure casted porcelain square and rectangular dishes with delicate gold details. It transitions from oven to family table seamlessly.

Dieux Skin

Let grandma use her tried-and-true eye cream with Dieux Skin's Forever Eye Mask. Made from non-porous silicone, the mask is a thin, lightweight eye patch that holds gels, serums and creams close to the skin for maximum absorption. Even better, they’re reusable—and we all know how much grandmas hate to waste.

Loro Piana

A high-quality cashmere sweater is crucial to looking chic, while staying warm and cozy. For grandma, opt for this timeless style by Loro Piana. The Italian brand only uses the world's finest and most rare raw materials, so you know it's good. She’ll be able to dress it up with her favorite slacks or wear it draped around her shoulders for chilly spring nights.

Crane & Canopy

Whether Grandma considers matching pajamas a luxury or she's a picky recipient who already has everything, this classic set from Crane & Canopy is sure to please. She'll love slipping into these buttery soft PJs every night, which are also adorably flattering (and a major upgrade from her tattered old T-shirts). You can also get them monogrammed with her initials for an extra special personal touch.

Taylor Chip

Whether you're sending a gift or planning a Mother's Day brunch spread, Taylor Chip cookies are a celebratory must-have. These ginormous confections feature scrumptious flavors like s'mores, caramel pretzel, cookies and cream and peanut butter fudge, and you can also order gluten-free flavors. Have Grandma pop them in the oven for extra ooey-gooey indulgence; if they're not consumed immediately (they will be), they can be stored in the freezer for up to three months or until spontaneous cravings hit.

Chacos

Chaco's best-selling Z/Cloud 2 sandal may look a little different with each passing year, but it never goes out of style. With its comfortable and supportive footbed, adjustable straps for a customized fit and eye-catching colorways, this adventure sandal is sure to be a hit through summer. If you want to leave Grandma walking on cloud nine this Mother's Day, look no further.

Herbs & Kettles

This lovely chai gift set from Herbs & Kettles would make a great gift for a tea-loving Grandma (or anyone who wants to add a moment of ritual to their daily routine). This tea is phenomenal—the chai is rich, earthy and fragrant—and the brand offers a variety of flavors like Lavender Vanilla and Rose chai. Says one of our editors, "I love that this set comes complete with a strainer so you strain the chai after steeping, too. Herbs & Kettles is based in Atlanta, where I live, but founders Abe and Poorvi travel to India frequently to source tea." Need another reason this is a great Mother's Day gift? Poorvi is a mom herself (and a physician!).
