The end of May is the harbinger of summer—Memorial Day weekend is like a kickoff to all the warmer weather ahead. But instead of stocking up on cool sunscreen brands, lawn chairs, or pool loungers like last year, you were in the market for Mother’s Day gifts above all else. That isn’t to say a few seasonally aligned products didn’t make an appearance at all: Solar-powered lights from Wayfair and a 74-inch tall inflatable freestanding movie screen can be seen, below. And while multiple mattresses were picked up thanks to MDW deals (Saatva’s innerspring mattress was a winner), the big-ticket items weren’t bought in bulk. Products on the smaller side accumulated in your carts instead. For the full list, scroll on.
Another affordable gift idea you loved was this self-care set. Patchology’s masks treat your mom’s peds to a little TLC without her having to hit the salon. The on-demand formula—a soothing combo of shea butter, coconut oil, and Japanese evergreen—promises to transform rough or dry skin after a few minutes (ideal for mothers who seem to never slow down). It was a big buy in April, too, but we wager that the guaranteed two-day shipping à la Amazon Prime upped it to best-seller status for those in need of a last-minute surprise.
