Of all the best gifts for mom, breakfast in bed usually takes top billing. Just ask Ree Drummond's kids, who prepared their mom an early morning Mother's Day brunch each year when they were at home. But if you've got younger kids or babies, things are a little different. Odds are, you don't want them anywhere near your bed with a glass of OJ in hand... and goodness knows they shouldn't so much as touch your stovetop. That's where these best Mother's Day gifts from kids come in!

Whether you're looking for a sweet, small, affordable Mother's Day gift that a newborn can "present" to Mom on that special Sunday or a slightly bigger-ticket item for a tween to offer up, at least one idea on this list will fit the bill. There's also plenty of Mother's Day gifts from toddlers, who are just the right age to get into the spirit. There are options like beautiful jewelry, personalized décor, and keepsake items she'll treasure forever, which are perfect Mother's Day gifts from daughters and sons alike.

Choose something that fits her interests or have the kiddos hand-make a Mother's Day craft that she'll be so happy to receive. Plus, even if they don't have the hand-eye coordination (or attention span, or, well, willpower) to write their own DIY Mother's Day card, you're in luck: You can help them fill out easy-to-understand prompts in custom books like "What I Love About Mom." Prepare for a whole lot of happy tears!
