This post has been updated to reflect the new prices for Amazon Prime Day.

The annual search of what to buy mom that she will a) love and b) doesn’t already own continues, and because we enjoy the challenge of sussing out high-quality gems from a jam-packed online retailer, we went to Amazon. Our list features everything you probably didn’t think you would find nestled in the massive store’s listings, such as high-end offerings from designer brands like Alessi coupled with too-good-to-pass up finds that mom would be proud to own, and you’d be even more pleased to gift.
