Now that I'm a mother, I've learned it doesn't take much to remind me of the beauty and delights of having a little one. A tiny hug, an endearing stare, or a sweet chuckle from my daughter is enough to make me go gaga over being her mama — even if I'm constantly running around in chaos (she's 18 months). That being said, it definitely doesn't hurt to get a little (okay, a lot) spoiled on Mother's Day, and I think most moms would agree.

So on that note, I've rounded up a list of items that would make any mama feel extra special on her day — everything from a wear-anywhere dress to leakproof capsules to ease her travel experience. Whether she celebrates Mexico's Día de la Madre (May 10th) or on the second Sunday in May, here's a list of gift ideas that will surely make her smile.

Moms of little ones are sure to benefit from a luxurious yet functional backpack. The Bee & Kin Nomad Backpack ($395) is uber stylish and is the perfect size for work or travel. It's spacious enough to also fit some toddler essentials for quick outings where a diaper bag may be too much. What's more, it contains a built-in LED light and wireless charging, and we all know how essential that is for moms who, like me, forget to charge their phones.
