It’s a beautiful reminder to celebrate not only mothers in the traditional sense, but also women who nurture, support, and help bring something new to life.

For this Target Mother’s Day gift guide, we’ve rounded up gift ideas for all the mothers in your life, including new moms, mom friends, and the mother figures in your life. A Target run never lets us down, and these gifts are the perfect way to say thank you to the moms in your world.
Gifts for new mothers

Easy, healthy dinners for the win. This one takes up less space and can be used for baking, grilling, roasting, dehydrating and reheating.
Gifts for moms and friends
Mom friends can be lifesavers, whether it’s facilitating after-school pickups or exchanging advice in the group chat. Whether you’re a fellow mom yourself or just have friends who are also moms, now is the perfect time to say, “I see you and I’m grateful.”
