Moms are notoriously difficult to shop for, and rightfully so. What do you give someone who has played so many roles in your life, from cheerleader and therapist to chef and housekeeper?

Thankfully, there are tons of options to choose from, whether the matriarch you adore could use some relaxation, a sentimental surprise, a fashionable accessory or a life-enhancing gadget. No matter the occasion — Mother’s Day, a birthday, or just because — we’re confident that one of our picks will delight that special someone who deserves all of the love and appreciation in the world.

• Back massagers are great gifts for moms who spend a lot of time on their feet or suffer from muscle aches.
• For a gift that will bring your mom joy for years to come, opt for something sentimental or customizable such as a picture frame or book.
• If your mom struggles with or is hesitant to accept new technology (for example, she is happy with her landline phone), a smart device may not be the best gift.
