A gift that matches her personality and interests.

Have a mom who loves beauty? Don’t underestimate the power of a new facial tool that helps alleviate tired-looking skin. The gift ideas don’t stop there, but we’ll stop spoiling the surprises.
Ahead, find the nine best gifts for moms from Walmart, according to real mothers.
BEST OVERALL
Frigidaire Gallery 33 lbs. Touchscreen Nugget Ice Maker
“I’ve been on a mission to find an ice machine that churns out the best pebbled cubes to pair with my favorite at-home beverages. I used the Frigidaire Gallery 33 pounds Touchscreen Nugget Ice Maker at my sister’s home and have not stopped thinking about it since. This ice machine only takes 10 to 15 minutes to make its first batch of ice. It’s designed with convenient drawer access, paired with a viewing window so you can see how much ice is in the container. I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed that this ice maker shows up under the tree!” —Taylor Lane, Commerce Writer
BEST KITCHEN GIFT FOR MOMS
Beautiful 6 Qt Air Fryer
“As a mom to two picky eaters, I have added the unfortunate title of ‘Line Cook’ to my resume and can be found preparing three different meals any given night of the week. Cooking appliances that make food prep easier — slow cookers, toaster ovens, etc — are my saving grace, yet the one currently missing from my collection is an air fryer. I’ve had this one from Drew Barrymore’s Beautiful collection on my wish list for years, truthfully for the aesthetics alone; the White Icing color would fit in perfectly with my all-white kitchen and I’m dying to see if it can convince my kids to actually eat a vegetable. What a gift that would be!”—Cristina Velocci, Chief Content Officer
BEST FITNESS GIFT FOR MOMS
FitRx SmartBell Gym
“The older I get, the more I’m learning that strength training is integral to my health — and yet, I have zero desire to spend my precious free time in a sweaty gym. This FitRx SmartBell Gym weight set, with its adjustable and interchangeable dumbbell, barbell, and kettlebells, would let me do it all at home. And while I’m a big fan of a just-for-mom gift (naturally!), it’s a bonus that other members of my family would get use out of this, too.”—Erika Janes, Editor-in-Chief
BEST STOCKING STUFFER FOR MOMS
FOREO BEAR Facial Toning Device
“I’m an absolute sucker for any kind of beauty treatment, but I’ve never tried microcurrent facial toning, so the Foreo Bear is definitely on my wish list — I’m so intrigued, especially after reading the clinical testing results and positive reviews. It’s the kind of thing I wouldn’t really splurge on for myself (because it’s money that could be spent on my kids … mom guilt in full effect!) which makes it a perfect gift.” —Rita Templeton, Parenting Editor
MOST FESTIVE GIFT
Packed Party Gingerbread Man Mini Hoop Earrings
“Now that my son is in elementary school, I’ve become deeply envious of the other moms who roll up to school functions wearing festive earrings for every holiday. I want to be a fun mom too! There’s something nostalgic about them (I still remember picking out a pair of Caspar earrings from Walgreens as a kid), and it’s a low-lift way to show off your seasonal spirit for your children. These gingerbread men hoops are so adorable and unserious yet dainty, they’d make for a perfect stocking stuffer.”—Cristina Velocci, Chief Content Officer
BEST COFFEE MAKER GIFT FOR MOMS
Beautiful by Drew Barrymore Slim Espresso Maker
“Strong coffee is pretty much a non-negotiable for me — an iced double latte is my daily go-to — which is why I’ve been pining for a dedicated espresso machine. This sleek model from Drew Barrymore’s Beautiful line fulfills my daily double-shot needs, and it’s so chic looking. Plus, the slim design is ideal for my small apartment kitchen, where every inch of counter space is precious.” —Erika Janes, Editor-in-Chief
MOST USEFUL GIFT FOR MOMS
Dyson V12 Detect Slim Absolute Cordless Vacuum Cleaner
“I realize that a vacuum cleaner isn’t the kind of gift every woman would want, but personally, I love a practical gift — and I’m running a household full of kids, dogs, and cats, so I need something that I’m confident will pick up all the dirt and hair. I have a Dyson hair dryer and love the way it performs, so I’m familiar with the brand and know it produces some top-of-the-line stuff. I love that this is cordless and lightweight, because I hate hauling my current heavy vacuum up the stairs. Plus, it’s gold! I don’t know if I could ever feel glam while vacuuming, but if I could, this would be the way!” —Rita Templeton, Parenting Editor
BEST TV GIFT FOR MOMS
Samsung 75” Class DU7200B Crystal UHD 4K Smart TV
“I’ve been on a spree renovating my home and have been searching for a sleek TV that completes my family’s living space. This pick from Samsung has great reviews and looks sleek against the wall. After finally seeing the television in-store at Walmart, I knew I needed to add it to my holiday wish list — the picture quality is outstanding! It instantly creates a personal cinema in any room, which I look forward to indulging in when I have free time. Plus, you can dress the TV up with a specialized Samsung frame.”—Taylor Lane, Commerce Writer
MOST AFFORDABLE GIFT FOR MOMS
Mario Badescu Lip Balm Trio
“If you’re searching for small, affordable gifts this year, consider this adorable trio of lip balms. Each one deeply hydrates lips and includes a tasty scent. You get: A Coconutty Original, Sweetly Floral Rose, and Fresh Mint. I’m very particular with lip balms, but I definitely want this trio in my bag this winter. It’s also perfecting for sharing if you have a beauty-loving daughter.”—Taylor Lane, Commerce Writer.
