Mother's Day is quickly approaching. Whether you've spent years as the bane of Mom's existence or her little shining star who does no wrong, you have time to get Mother's Day right this year without depending on Dad, your siblings, your girlfriend, one of your homies, or an over-worked Yankee Candle employee.
The problem: You strictly shop at the same three stores and on a handful of websites, which probably aren't the best fit for mom. Don't force it. We had three of Complex editors—Emily Oberg, Karizza Sanchez, and Rae Witte—put together a list of gifts. So, before you decide to make that last minute appointment for the "I Love Mom" tattoo, peep our Mother's Day Gift Guide.

Emily suggests:
adidas Ultra Boosts
Price: $180
If your mom is like my mom, she’s jealous of your shoe game and lowkey wants to be a sneakerhead™, too. These are the perfect pair to get her started: Not only are they the comfiest sneakers I have ever owned, they’re sleek, minimal, and will go with her basic (not in the bad way) wardrobe.
Gypsy Water Hand Cream
Price: $35
Hands are the first part of our bodies to age, because they’re always in the sun. So, obviously our moms are conscious of this, which explains their obsession with hand cream. The Gypsy Water Byredo hand cream makes your hands super soft and smells extra clean. Not to mention, the packaging is A1.
The New T
Price: $106
The Gentlewoman is the bible for tasteful women everywhere. And Sunspel is one of the best purveyors of all your necessary basics. It only made sense when the two paired up to offer a new cut of the classic white tee. You can never have enough of them, and the fit on this one makes it extra special. It also comes in navy!
Karizza suggests:
Monogram Letter Apron
Price: $18.99
This one’s for all the moms who can whip up a mean dish in the kitchen. The monogram is a nice touch.
French Girl Organics Sea Soak
Price: $18.00
Methe Sea Soak is formulated with four organic salt varieties and the essential oils of Peppermint, French Lavender, and Rosemary. In other words, your mom’s about to have the most soothing and refreshing bath ever. And women love to pamper themselves.
Moët & Chandon’s 2008 Grand Vintage Rosé
Price: $89.99
This marks Moët & Chandon’s 41st vintage rosé since the wine was first introduced in 1920. It’s a special release just in time for rosé season—and Mother’s Day. Celebrate your mama.
Rae suggests:
Gold iPad 4 mini
Price: $399
For the mom who comments on your friends’ Instagrams before you do (just mine?), or who knows her way around Facebook, but may not be ready for an Apple Watch, the gold iPad mini is a great option to help her stay connected or preoccupied.
Living Under the Sun: Tropical Interiors and Architecture
Price: $33.90
I'm pretty confident my parents' favorite channel is HGTV. But, for those times when Mom can't really get away and sitting in front of the TV ain't cutting it, this book displays photos of incredible tropical residences across the world. Since you may not be able to send your mom on a trip, this just might be the perfect getaway.
L'Aurore Gift Set
Price: $48
Three different options for the price of one from a site that's cool, but not "too much" for mom. The fancy names of these three options just mean they smell like any of the following scents: hinoki wood, patchouli, nutmeg, vanilla, lemon, and lavender. Perfect for any three rooms at home, right?
