With everything she does for you and your family, your wife deserves to be spoiled on Mother's Day. Even with a supportive spouse by her side (that's you!), being a mom can be as tough as it is rewarding. So this year, give your wife a gift that shows her just how important she is to you and how much you appreciate her hard work.

Of course, finding the perfect Mother's Day gift is no easy task, so to help you out, we've rounded up dozens of thoughtful, sentimental and practical items she's sure to love. Even if she says she's already got everything she needs, we've got something on this list that's guaranteed to make her feel loved. To start, think about what type of present would feel most meaningful to her. Maybe that's an activity the two of you can enjoy together, sans children. Maybe it's one of the Good Housekeeping Institute's top-tested mug warmers, so her coffee stays hot and fresh all morning long. Or, if she appreciates the finer things in life, she might appreciate a luxury item like a sparkly new pair of earrings. (Not to worry though, we've got plenty of affordable picks here too, that'll make her happy without emptying your wallet.)

No matter what type of gift you're looking for, our list of the best Mother's Day gifts for wives has you covered — even if you happen to be shopping at the last minute!
