Moms-- they change our diapers, they work tirelessly and still find time to empathize with and support us, and they guide us through even the cringiest moments of our teenage self-discovery with the grace of warriors. There’s probably no way we can ever fully thank our mothers for everything they do for us -- but there's no better day of the year to try than Mother’s Day. This year, on May 8, treat her to something truly special. Here are the best Mother's Day gift ideas for every type of mom.

LĒVO Home-Infuser

With LĒVO, your mom can home-infuse ingredients with endless benefits for the mind and body. From symptom relief to healthy culinary creations, LĒVO empowers users to take control of the ingredients they put in - and on - their bodies. Fruits, spices, and nuts infuse too. LĒVO-made products are inherently healthier than their highly-processed and mass-produced alternatives. Aside from the LĒVO machine, you only need three things:

  • Your plant(s): You can use fresh or dried whole plants, such as herbs, whole spices, flowers, dried fruits, nuts, peppers, mushrooms, and more.
  • A liquid: The most common liquid carriers are fats. Think olive oil, butter, coconut oil, and sesame oil. You can also use LĒVO to infuse other liquids like milk, honey, and vinegar.
  • An air-tight container: You’ll need something to catch your infusion once it’s ready. A glass jar or Tupperware will work!
