Mother’s Day 2024 is just around the corner, so now is the time to get into Mother’s Day mode and start shopping for the best gifts to celebrate Mom. See, moms aren’t just the keepers of unconditional love and support. Mom is always there, giving us her all, which means making her feel appreciated on Mother’s Day is priority one. Walmart’s extensive selection of Mother’s Day gifts takes the pressure off getting Mother’s Day right and keeps our focus on doting on Mom all day long.

Walmart’s Mother’s Day selection is so good that Mom will think you spent more time than you actually did finding her something special this Mother’s Day. She doesn’t need to know that shopping for Mother’s Day gifts at Walmart is easy, and fast. (Though if your mom is anything like ours, she already does.)

Walmart makes it easy to shop for mom this Mother’s Day. We love that Walmart features Mother’s Day gifts for all budgets. We also love that you can get free shipping from Walmart’s website, or opt for same-day in-store pickup. You can even arrange for a free same-day delivery from your local store with a subscription to Walmart+ — perfect for those who wait until the last minute.


Best gift for the mom who’s hard to buy for: Fresh flower delivery

Finding the right gift for Mom doesn’t have to mean reinventing the wheel. Having flowers delivered to her home or workplace is never the wrong way to celebrate Mom on Mother’s Day.

Why we like flower delivery from Walmart:

  • Flowers are wrapped in a box and delivered in a secured vase.
  • Most flowers are delivered unopened and will take 2-3 days to bloom.
  • Walmart has an extensive selection of flower designs, suitable for all tastes.
  • Walmart doesn’t deliver flowers on Saturday, Sunday or Monday, so order your flowers for a Friday delivery date to give mom a jumpstart on being adored.

Best Mother’s Day gift for your mother-in-law: Gucci Bloom Eau de Parfum

Even if your mom or your mother-in-law has a signature scent that still reminds you of home, she’ll bloom with gratitude after you gift her Gucci’s Bloom scent. Even the most discerning of moms will be dazzled by the beautiful scent and packaging.

This 1-ounce bottle is currently on sale at Walmart for $56 (reduced from $69).

Top features of Gucci’s ‘Bloom’ perfume

  • The scent earns 4.5 stars from Walmart shoppers who love the flora aroma.
  • Reviewers lauded the “gentle” scent, while others called it a “perfect spring scent.”

Best gift for a new mom: Four prong two-carat Moissanite solitaire stud earrings

Walmart


One of the first things to go after becoming a new mom (in addition to sleep) is jewelry. That’s because little hands like to pull on jewelry, which means new moms quickly abandon theirs in favor of keeping their jewelry (and ears) intact.

Gorgeous stud earrings are the remedy every new mom is searching for. Pull-proof stud earrings allow her to still feel gorgeous without fear of her precious little one pulling on her earrings.

These four-prong solitaire earrings are on sale at Walmart for $69 (reduced from $239), though you can save an extra $3 using the on-site coupon.

Why we like these earrings:

  • These earrings are constructed from 18K gold plating over silver.
  • To the naked eye, moissanite looks exactly like a diamond.
  • Moissanite, the birthstone of April, represents strength and unbreakable love — just like motherhood.

For the mom who loves to stack her jewelry: Gold and rhodium plated sterling silver pave ‘Mom’ necklace

Walmart


If the mom in your life loves to express herself through her jewelry, this “Mom” pendant necklace is a beautiful way for her to add motherhood to her stack. This necklace is currently $48 at Walmart.

Why we like this necklace

  • This necklace features an 18-inch chain.
  • The pendant is yellow gold and rhodium plated and features sparkling cubic zirconia.
  • The chain is secured with a lobster claw clap designed to keep the necklace in place, while also being easy to remove.

For the healthy mom on Mother’s Day: Ninja blender pitcher kitchen system

She’s been crushing her workouts. Now, Mom wants to crush her fruits and veggies. The Ninja blender system is just the thing to help her on her health journey. She’ll appreciate your support of her health goals, which is a gift in and of itself.

Currently priced at $149, the Ninja blender system is reduced from $169.

Why we like the Ninja blender system:

  • The blades produce perfectly crushed ice for smoothies.
  • The 72-ounce pitcher is ideal for making large batches.
  • This system doesn’t just make great smoothies. The 64-ounce food processing bowl provides precision chopping and purees, or up to two pounds of dough.

Best gift for the sports mom: Pickleball set for two

Walmart


Whether Mom is the sportiest mom you know, or she’s looking for a new hobby, a pickleball set is a terrific way to help launch her into a new pastime. The best part, this set comes with two paddles which means you’ll be able to play, too. 

This set comes with two paddles, four balls and a carrying case. It’s priced at $46.

Why we like this pickleball set: 

  • This set features indoor and outdoor balls and can be used on any pickleball court.
  • The pickleball paddles feature a firm, comfortable handle grip.
  • The paddles are equally suited for beginners and pickleball veterans.

Best gift for the mom who loves to hydrate: Owala FreeSip stainless steel water bottle

Walmart


Move over Stanley, there’s a new trendy water bottle in town. While others (no shame) plot their Stanley tumbler purchase, some water enthusiasts have moved on to a new water bottle. The Owala FreeSip stainless steel water bottle features a push button lid and lock that stays clean and is easy to access. 

This 24-ounce Owala water bottle is currently available at Walmart for $43.

Why we like the Owala water bottle:

  • We like the locked and secure built-in straw, which stays clean and is easy to access.
  • The size of this water bottle makes it easier to transport than larger bottles.
  • This water bottle fits in most backpack water bottle holders and most car cup holders. 

Best gift for the mom who has everything (except her password): Password journal notebook

Walmart


Even if Mom is the most organized person you know, she’s still likely human enough to join the rest of us in the never-ending “what was my password?” mental search. Gifting her a stylish password notebook, where all passwords can be stored and organized, is an inexpensive but thoughtful way to end the password search. It’s also a terrific way for aging parents to share vital information with their grown children in the event of an emergency.

This handy password organizer is $17 at Walmart.

Why we like this password organizer:

  • This book helps organize passwords and login information so Mom doesn’t have to reset passwords all the time.
  • For adults with aging parents, this password journal is a safe way to have Mom’s account info on hand should she need an assist, while assuaging fears of emailing or digitally sharing vital information.

Best gift for the mom who loves coffee: Ion mug and charging coaster

Walmart


The perfect gift for the mom who loves her coffee, but rarely has time to drink it, this mug and charging coaster keeps coffee hot so mom can drink it at her leisure. The built-in rechargeable battery keeps coffee warm for up to three hours.

This mug is available at Walmart for $40.

Why we like this mug and charging coaster;

  • This mug features three different temperature levels with an LED temperature indicator.
  • This mug features an auto shut-off after three hours.
  • The anti-spill lid prevents hot coffee from making a mess.

Transcript: Sen. Mark Kelly on “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan,” Oct. 6, 2024

The following is a transcript of an interview with Sen. Mark Kelly, Democrat of Arizona, on “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan” that aired on Oct. 6, 2024.


MARGARET BRENNAN: Joining us now is Arizona’s Democratic Senator, Mark Kelly. He’s in Detroit this morning on the campaign trail for the Harris campaign. Good morning to you, Senator.

SEN. MARK KELLY: Good morning, Margaret.

MARGARET BRENNAN: I want to talk to you about Arizona, but let’s start in Michigan, which is where you are right now. And it is going to be such a key state to a potential Harris or Trump victory. Vice President Harris is facing challenges among black men, working class people, as well as the Muslim and Arab populations skeptical of the White House support for Israel’s wars. What are you hearing on the ground there from voters?

SEN. KELLY: Well, my wife, Gabby Giffords, and I have been out here for a couple days. We’ve been campaigning across the country, Michigan, I’ve been in North Carolina, Georgia as well. I’ll be back to Arizona here soon. The vice president was out here speaking to Muslim organizations and the Arab community about what is at stake in this election and addressing the concerns that they have. What we’re hearing, issues about the economy, about gun violence, about, you know, supporting American families and the difference between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. You know, Kamala Harris, who has a vision for the future of this country, Donald Trump, who just wants to drag us backwards.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Today in Dearborn, Michigan, there’s a funeral service for an American man who was killed in Lebanon by an Israeli airstrike. It just underscores how that community you’re talking about out in Michigan feel some of what’s happening in a personal way to their community. Given how close this race is, do you think this war and the expectation it could escalate could cost Democrats both a seat in the Senate and potentially the presidency?

SEN. KELLY: Margaret, nobody wants to see escalation and it’s tragic when any innocent person, whether it’s an American or Palestinian, lose their life in a conflict. Tomorrow’s one year since October 7th, when Israel was violently attacked. Israel has a right to defend itself, not only from Hamas, but from Hezbollah and from the Iranians. But, you know, I and my wife, you know, we feel for the community here who’s been affected by this. And that’s why the vice president was out here earlier, a few days ago, meeting with that community. 

MARGARET BRENNAN: But it’s a live issue.

SEN. KELLY: Yeah, sure. I mean, there is an ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Israel is, you know, fighting a war now on, I think it’s fair to say, two fronts and then being attacked by the Iranians as well. And, they- they need to defend themselves, and we need to support our Israeli ally. At the same time, when women and children lose their life, innocent people in a conflict, it is- it is tragic.

MARGARET BRENNAN: You do sit on the Senate Intelligence Committee and so I know you know how intense the efforts are by foreign actors to try to manipulate voters going into November. Just this Friday, Matthew Olsen, the lead on election threats at the Department of Justice, told CBS the Russians are, quote, highlighting immigration as a wedge issue. That is such a key issue in Arizona. Are you seeing targeted information operations really focusing in on Arizonans right now?

SEN. KELLY: Not only in Arizona, in other battleground states. It’s the Russians, the Chinese, the Iranians, and it’s significant. And we need to do a better job getting the message out to the American people that there is a huge amount of misinformation. If you’re looking at stuff on Twitter, on TikTok, on Facebook, on Instagram, and it’s political in nature, and you may- might think that that person responding to that political article or who made that meme up is an American. It could be- it could look like a U.S. service member. There is a very reasonable chance I would put it in the 20 to 30% range, that the content you are seeing, the comments you are seeing, are coming from one of those three countries: Russia, Iran, China. We had a hearing recently, with the FBI director, the DNI, and the head of the National Security Agency. And we talked about this. And we talked about getting the word out. And it’s up to us, so thank you for asking me the question, because it’s up to us, the people who serve in Congress and the White House to get the information out there, that there is a tremendous amount of misinformation in this election, and it’s not going to stop on November 5th.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Understood. And we will do our best to help parse that for viewers. But on the topic of the border, President Biden did announce just this past week new regulations to keep in place that partial asylum ban that he rolled out back in June. That’s what’s credited with helping to bring down some of the border crossing numbers in recent weeks. It was supposed to be a temporary policy, dependent on how many people were crossing at a time. Do you think this is the right long term policy, or is this just a gimmick to bring down numbers ahead of the election?

SEN. KELLY: Well, the right long term policy is to do this through legislation. And we were a day or two away from doing that, passing strong border security legislation supported by the vice president, negotiated by the vice president, and the president and his Department of Homeland Security, with Democrats and Republicans– 

MARGARET BRENNAN: But this is not legislation. 

SEN. KELLY: –This is bipartisan. This isn’t. But the legislation was killed by Donald Trump. We were really close to getting it passed. That’s the correct way to do this. When you can’t do that, Margaret, when a former president interrupts the legislative process the way he did, which is the most hypocritical thing I’ve ever seen in my three and a half years in the Senate. After that happened, the only other option is executive actions. And this has gone from what was chaos and a crisis at our southern border to somewhat manageable. And if you’re the border- Border Patrol, you know, this is this- you need this. I mean, otherwise it is unsafe for Border Patrol agents, for CBP officers, for migrants, for communities in southern Arizona. So it’s unfortunate that this was the- these were the steps that had to be taken. 

MARGARET BRENNAN: Okay.

SEN. KELLY: But that’s because the former president didn’t allow us to do this through legislation. 

MARGARET BRENNAN: Senator, we have to leave it right there. Face the Nation will be right back.
