Puffy, tired eyes are no match for these Jessica Alba-approved eye masks. Our beauty editor, Jennifer Romolini, also swears by them (and she's a celeb in our eyes!) because they nourish and brighten the delicate under-eye area, and look super cute while doing so. Each color indicates a different need — pink moisturizes with hyaluronic acid, gold gives a youthful glow and blue is packed with niacinamide to illuminate your skin.

My medicine cabinet is packed with plenty of unsexy products that actually work. And while they do wonders for my skin, they aren't exactly giftable — Beekman 1802 is the rare exception. I've been using the brand's goat milk-infused gems for years, and this trio brings together three of my all-time favorites: its hand-wrapped bar soap, a travel-size hand lotion and a tub of decadent body cream for post-shower hydration.

Bring on the effortless curls that are actually, well, effortless. I mean it: Wrap hair around the satin headband and secure each side with the matching scrunchie, then hit the pillow and wake up with big, bouncy curls.

This rave review says it all: "I'm a mom of two kids so it's a need, not a want." Pop this compression cap in the freezer for cold therapy or stick it in the microwave for 20 seconds for heated relief — both methods will soothe her strained eyes or throbbing head.

If she finds joy in tinkering with teeny-tiny things, then let me introduce you to the best Mother's Day gift you can give. Her first challenge is constructing the mini greenhouse, but the real fun is assembling all of the minis that go inside — potted flowers, oil paintings, wooden crates, you name it. "The flowers and plants were very time-consuming, so pack your patience. But once I completed it, I got a sense of accomplishment," one budding builder, who called it "a great distraction," wrote.

A tennis bracelet for less than $40? I'm sure you're already sold, but it's even better since this gold or silver beauty also spells out the nickname of the woman you love most. It's especially fitting for new moms, but the ones who've been doing it for years will also appreciate it.

News flash: "Rich moms" are wearing puffer bags. Free People and Abercrombie sell their own versions, but this Amazon bestseller gives the same look for half the price. "I used it for travel on a plane instead of a backpack. I loved it so much I now use it as my work purse," one stylish shopper raved. Another five-star fashionista said they use it for the gym, adding that they can "fit a pair of shoes in there, change of clothes and hygiene products."
