Graphic by: Anna Wissler

Mom friends are something special. You can commiserate about the hard stuff and celebrate the little motherhood victories no one else appreciates. If you’re looking to thank them for being there for you—like the time they immediately answered your 3 a.m. text or when they offered a drop-off playdate so you could have a break—check out our list of holiday gifts for mom friends, many under $50. (Plus, you might find a few items to add to your own wishlist!).

If you’re looking to be dubbed “Queen of Gift Giving” this year, we’ve got you. More gifts can be found on our full holiday gift guide. You’ll find ideas for everyone on your list!
