The View co-hosts share cozy, personalized Mother’s Day gift picks

The cozy gift formula

Mother’s Day lands on Sunday, May 10, and because it is not a federal holiday, most people are still figuring it out between errands and real life. That is exactly why The View’s annual gift round-up works so well: Alyssa Farah Griffin, Sunny Hostin, and Joy Behar each point to a different kind of mom, and the smartest takeaway is not the celebrity name but the gifting formula. The show has also leaned on this Mother’s Day franchise before, including a 2025 guide built around under-$50 ideas, personalization, gardening, and wine-related gifts, which tells you the appeal here is practical, not precious.

Cozy moms who want the couch to feel like a spa

Alyssa Farah Griffin’s cozy lane is the easiest place to steal a win. Minky Couture’s blankets start at $129, and its robes are currently priced at $79 for the black robe and $99 for the cream, satin navy, and satin blush styles. These are not flimsy throw-ins for the basket moment, either. The blankets are billed as plush, oversized pieces, while the robes have inner and outer ties, pockets, and in some versions a gift box, which makes them feel like a present instead of a placeholder. Give this to the mom who is always cold, always on the couch, or always the one who hands out the good blanket and keeps the threadbare one for herself.

Bathorium is the other half of that same comfort story, only wetter. On the brand’s site, bath bombs and soaks start at $10 CAD, while gift bundles run from $42.95 CAD and up, which makes it an easy add-on if you want something that feels more thoughtful than a gift card but less fussy than a full spa day. The line leans on pH-balanced formulas, premium essential oils, clean ingredients, and a clean-beauty pitch that fits moms who want a 15-minute reset after school pickup, bedtime, or a long work call. The View’s feature also flags a discount window for viewers, but the better reason to buy is simpler: this is the rare bath gift that actually feels like permission to sit down.

Brooklyn Candle Studio is the soft landing for the mom whose whole home mood depends on one good scent. The Sunday Morning jar candle is $28, the Santorini Classic 2-Wick Candle is $45, and the XL 3-Wick version is $95. The candles are 100 percent soy wax, vegan, cruelty-free, and designed to evoke either a farmers market morning or a Mediterranean vacation, which is exactly the sort of detail that makes a candle feel deliberate rather than generic. Alyssa’s favorite scents, Sunday Morning and Santorini, have enough personality that they read as memory pieces, not just room fragrance.

Personalized gifts that still pull their weight

Sunny Hostin’s picks are the ones to copy if you want the gift to feel tailored without drifting into overdesigned territory. REVERIE’s Milk Anti-Frizz Leave-In Treatment is $44, the Shampoo + Conditioner Duo is $78, and the Air Dry Essentials set is $174. The brand’s whole pitch is built around clean formulas for all hair types and textures, with silicone-free, sulfate-free, vegan, and cruelty-free language that makes the routine feel considered rather than trendy. This is a strong gift for the mom who actually uses hair products, not the mom who just likes the bottle shape on her bathroom shelf.

Pat McGrath Labs serves the mom who still loves a little drama, but wants it in a compact, giftable form. On the brand’s site, MatteTrance lipstick is $39, LUST: Gloss is $29, and kits such as the Divine Blush & LUST: Gloss Kit and the Divine Rose: Jet-Set Kit land at $48 and $52 respectively. That range matters because it keeps the gift from feeling like a major beauty haul and makes it easy to choose one high-impact item instead. If your mom loves makeup but dislikes clutter, a single Pat McGrath lip or cheek set will feel far more thoughtful than a random assortment of minis.

VinGardeValise is the slyly brilliant pick for the host-minded mom, the one who never arrives empty-handed and never wants to risk a bottle in her tote. The line includes the Vin2Go Wine & Glass Case at $39.95, the VinXplorer Wine and Beverage Backpack at $129.95, the Petite Black 8-Bottle Wine Suitcase at $319.95, and the Grande 12-Bottle Suitcase at $369.95. There is even a personalized luggage nameplate for $24.99. That combination of travel utility and small personalization is what makes the gift land, especially for the mom who turns every dinner party into an occasion.

The gift for the mom who works from the couch

Joy Behar’s picks are the ones that solve a daily annoyance, which is often the most luxurious thing you can give. TopJob’s AnyDesk Fold is currently $209, marked down from $299, and the brand describes it as a mobile sit-to-stand desk that moves easily on smooth-rolling casters. Its accessories make the case even clearer: the ErgoPie Anti-Fatigue Mat is $99, the Cup Holder & Hook Combo for Anydesks is $19, and the Origamie Under Desk Cable Holder is $29. If your mom writes, reads, pays bills, or spends half her day on the sofa with a laptop, this is a gift that quietly upgrades the whole rhythm of the house.

That is why this The View guide feels so usable. It does not ask you to guess at prestige or chase the flashiest thing on the shelf. It gives you a clear job to do, make mom cozier, make her routine prettier, make her hosting easier, or make her workday less punishing, and that is the kind of Mother’s Day gift that gets remembered long after the flowers fade.
