When Mommytracked asked me to pick some of my favorite gift ideas for Mother's Day this year, I narrowed it down to oh, around 50. Coincidentally, the very same number of items that appear in the Cool Mom Picks Mother's Day Gift Guide this year. What are the chances!

If you're looking for cool ideas (or want to drop hints about your own gift for the menfolk and children in your life), I hope you'll click over and check it out. Our editors spent weeks scouring the corners of the web, to find some of the coolest finds for every kind of mom in every price range this year. You'll find gifts for glam moms, working moms, crunchy moms, first-time moms, grandmothers, stepmothers, and even that pregnant woman who isn't officially a mom just yet, but could use a little acknowledgment on May 9 - and a little laugh to go with it.

Best of all, most of our ideas support smaller brands or boutiques, many of them run by mothers themselves.

Hope this Mother's Day brings you all the love you deserve. You know you've earned it.
