Mother’s Day is often centered around the one who brought us into the world, but widening the lens reveals how many mother figures are woven into our lives. It is a reminder to celebrate not only those mothering in the traditional sense, but also the women who nurture, support, and help bring something new to life.
For a last-minute gift, Target offers a range of ideas for all the mothers in your life — including new moms, mom friends, and mother figures. This Target Mother’s Day Gift Guide rounds up gift ideas that work for every kind of mom.
