Maddyloo Hair Ties

Ponytails are a staple of moms on the move. However, traditional elastics leave embarrassing dents, preventing women from taking their hair down. Luckily, Maddyloo Hair Ties, invented by mom and entrepreneur Honeya Samnick, along with her husband Jon, save the day. The chicest solution for ponytail lovers and a practical present for mom — they enable her to sport an updo without the fear of creasing. They’re also available in a wide variety of eye-catching colors and double as wrist candy, yay! (Maddyloo.com, starting at $1)

Every mom deserves to be pampered, particularly on Mother’s Day, and trust us, there’s no better present than LaLicious.

The Sugar Kiss Limited Edition Scrub is by far our favorite exfoliating product for moms. In a 32-ounce tub, it smells delicious, moisturizes skin and ensures a silky smooth finish she’s bound to love. (Lalicious.com, $49)
