When I was growing up, my mom and I did everything together. She dropped me off at school every day, took me to every horseback riding lesson, and never missed a horse show — even when I started jumping, which was terrifying to watch, she said. She’s so incredibly supportive and is always there when I need her, even now that I’m older: If I move, she’s there hauling boxes. If I need help painting my house, she shows up with paint and paint brushes. And if I’m having a bad day, she’ll bring me a pot of chili or mashed potatoes (two of my favorite things).

I can’t begin to thank her for everything she’s done for me, so I always go a little extra for Mother’s Day, because she absolutely deserves it. If you’re in that same mindset and trying to find the perfect gift for your mom, boy, do I have the gift guide for you! I rounded up 30 splurge-worthy, kitchen-related gifts my mom would absolutely love — and I think yours would, too.

Nama Standing Mat (Nordique)
House of Noa
$ 119.00

We truly love these mats at Kitchn (see here !) — so much so, we included them in our list of Kitchn Essentials two years in a row. Their newest collection is called Nordique and it's the plushy, Boho mat of a cool mom's dreams. Modeled after a hand-knotted Nordic rug, it comes in four cool, neutral colors including Fog (pictured) and Coast. The company says standing on their mats feels you're on a "zillion gummy bears" and it's 100 percent true!

360 Knife Block
Amazon
$ 299.00

This is my favorite knife block and it's truly the best money can buy. It has a base that swivels for easy access to all the knives and magnets that are strong enough so that nothing budges, but aren't too strong, so your mom will never have to yank a knife to take it off. It's also super easy to clean, unlike most other knife blocks.

Smeg Electric Kettle
Amazon
$ 159.95

You'd be hard-pressed to find a cooler-looking kettle than this electric model by Smeg. It has a large capacity and a push-to-open lid and is super simple to operate (just press down the lever to turn it on). It also comes in tons of fun colors, including pink and pastel green.

Ooni Koda 16
Ooni Pizza Ovens
$ 499.00

If your mom loves pizza, then this is THE gift for her. This outdoor, gas-powered pizza oven gets super hot (as in, 950°F), far hotter than a standard oven could go. Which means it's able to cook a whole pizza in just 60 (60!) seconds. It has a large opening so she can easily turn and retrieve pies. And it comes with a three-year warranty.

Ember Mug²
Ember
$ 129.95

My mom will not drink cold coffee — which is why she needs an Ember Mug. This smart mug is controlled by an app and allows coffee to cool to a preset, perfectly drinkable temperature and then holds it there for upwards of an hour-anda half on a single charge or all day on its charging pad. Of course, it's not just for coffee people — it's great for tea and hot chocolate, too. They just launched a new Rose Gold color, too, which is absurdly pretty.

It also comes with a tamper, multiple filter baskets, a steaming pitcher, a coffee scoop, a trimming tool, and cleaning supplies for descaling the machine. It might just be the best thing you can do for your mom in a very long time, too.

A few of us on staff have an undying love for this coffee maker. If your mom loves coffee but that espresso machine is just a bit too over the top, then go for this.

Williams Sonoma

Braiser
Le Creuset
$ 320.00

A braiser is like a cross between a Dutch oven and a skillet. It's great for, yes, braises , but also searing, simmering, pan-roasting, and shallow-frying. Made from enameled cast iron, this model by Le Creuset retains heat beautifully, meaning it browns like a dream. It has roomy handles and comes with a lid, too. If your mom cooks for 3 to 4 people, the 3 1/2-quart braiser is a great size for her. If she often makes bigger portions than that (for, say, 5 to 6 people), get her the 5-quart size.

10-Inch Hexclad Hybrid Pan
Hexclad
$ 109.99

This skillet is a game-changer . It's like a cross between a nonstick skillet and a stainless steel skillet, with the usability benefits of the former and the durability of the latter. I've had mine for years and it doesn't have a scratch on it! It's also oven-safe for things like frittatas, is dishwasher-safe, and comes with a lifetime warranty.

simplehuman 58-Liter Dual Compartment Trash Can
Amazon

A trash can for Mother's Day? YES ... if it's this trash can, which is like the Cadillac of trash cans. For starters, it's sleek and available in finishes like rose gold and dark bronze. It has a step opener, a soft-close lid, and bins for recycling and trash. It also has a compartment in the back to store trash bags. So, yeah, it's pretty awesome. And because it's $200, your mom might not buy it for herself, but she would use it every day.

Staub Deep Oven
Williams Sonoma
$ 199.95

Staub's newest color , Sage, is a perfect pastel green and I particularly love it in this deep Dutch oven. Perfect for making soups and stews, braising, searing, and simmering, this Dutch oven is the kind of kitchen staple that'll last your mom for years and years. It has taller sides and a smaller cooking surface than Staub's other Dutch ovens , but it's also about $150 less, which is a great deal!

The Essential Capsule
Brightland

Your mom probably buys olive oil and balsamic vinegar on the regular, but she probably doesn't think to splurge on the nice, top-notch stuff. Brightland makes some of the best, and this set includes two of their extra-virgin olive oils and balsamic and Champagne vinegars. We also suggest adding on this spout , which ensures easy pouring and looks beautiful with Brightland's bottles.
