If there is one thing we know about moms, it’s that they rarely take time for themselves. This year, instead of getting your mom a vacuum cleaner — which yes, we know she would use and appreciate, why not treat her like the queen she is and buy her a luxurious gift she would never buy for herself.
Your mom has done a lot for you. It’s time to spoil her with one of these 20 gifts we’ve selected to help her have an unforgettable holiday season.

Top Features:
- Dimmable
- Naturally antibacterial

This Himalayan salt lamp is the gift your mom didn’t know she wanted. When lit, the lamp will emit a calming amber glow, made even more soothing by its dimmable switch. The warmth from the bulb will heat the salt, ionizing and purifying the surrounding air.

It is recommended that she wipe the lamp with a paper towel if the salt is damp to prevent it from dripping onto any other surface. However, the lovely glow from this lamp far outweighs the minimal maintenance it requires.
