Is your mom curious about wine? She can tend to her own vineyard with this Groupon online gift.

While she's away from her vineyard, she can still maintain access to it with a live webcam view and watch her grapes grow into fruition.
3. For the mom who loves a clean house: iRobot Vacuum
Mother's Day Gifts: iRobot Vacuum
Give mom the gift of a cleaner house without her getting her hands dirty. This self-emptying robot vacuum makes cleaning a breeze. Your mom can run errands or simply relax on the couch as the vacuum sucks up every crumb in her home. It also allows you to clean by room, any time you want on a set schedule. The Roomba adjusts to different floor textures, allowing it to reach more coverage around your home without you ever having to lift a finger.
Whether mom likes to braise meats and veggies or simmer hearty soups and pastas in the kitchen, this iconic cooking accessory is a great gift to help her do it. We highly recommend Staub's Dutch ovens, even naming the 5.5-round cocotte as our top pick, so we have no doubt this cast-iron beauty would perform up to the high standards we've all come to expect from Staub, and hey, it'll look great doing it, too.

6. For the mom who needs a morning pick-me-up: Nespresso VertuoPlus
10 of the best self-care gifts for Mom this Mother's Day: Nespresso VertuoPlus
For many moms, self-care starts first thing in the morning with the help of a little, or a lot, of coffee. Say bye-bye to the barista and hello to the Nespresso VertuoPlus to make the perfect, frothy cup of coffee that can only be described (by me) as "heaven in a mug". This versatile machine that ships within two days because of Prime delivery, topped our list of best single-serve coffee makers. It also comes with a starter set of capsules in a variety of flavors (my personal favorites are Vanilla Custard Pie and Melozio), and if your mom needs an extra caffeine kick, it also makes single and double espresso.
7. For the mom who needs earbuds: Apple AirPods Pro
Pick up the Apple AirPods Pro for one of the best prices we've seen this year right now at Amazon.
Of all the gifts you could give Mom this Mother’s Day, AirPods are sure to be at the top of her list. This gift also ships quickly with Prime delivery.

You’re guaranteed to knock it out of the park with something she’s been secretly coveting—and save in the process.
8. For the mom with a sweet tooth: Baked by Melissa cupcakes
Mother's Day Gift: Baked by Melissa
Sometimes the best gifts are the ones your can eat. As long as you order a few days before Mother's Day, these mini cupcakes from Baked by Melissa make an amazing and delicious edible gift. We tried these bite-sized treats and were immediately obsessed. They're easy to eat and come in a variety of tasty flavors, like chocolate chip cookie dough, caramel apple pie, triple chocolate fudge and mint chocolate chip. The company even sells gluten-free and vegan options, so moms with dietary restrictions will love them, too.
9. For the mom who deserves the best: A KitchenAid mixer
Mother’s Day gifts for moms who like cooking and baking: stand mixer.
For many budding bakers, a KitchenAid mixer is the holy grail. It’s not cheap, and buying one means you’re committed to mastering your cooking craft.

After testing it, we found that the 4th generation Dot has been packed with improved sound and aesthetics that she'll love.
