Whether you’re still on the hunt for a Mother’s Day gift for your mom who wants to develop her green thumb or simply want to make growing herbs in your own home easier, there’s one highly rated item on sale right now that you should add to your cart immediately: the AeroGarden Harvest kit. It’s a whopping 58% off on Amazon, putting the price at $69.99. 

You (or your loved one) can grow veggies and herbs year-round with this indoor gardening system. It includes a gourmet seed pod kit containing Genovese basil, curly parsley, dill, thyme, Thai basil and mint. It can grow up to six plants at a time, up to 12 inches tall. And because it uses soilless seed pods that grow with just water, there’s virtually no mess to clean up. The control panel on the front of this sleek garden lets you know when it’s time to add water and plant food (included), and automatically turns the light on and off.

The kit has an impressive 4.6 out of 5 stars on Amazon, plus over 15,000 five-star reviews, like the ones below:

“This is the 4th aero garden I have bought my mom. She loves them! They seem to produce a lot of vegetables and herbs for as small as it is. We live in an area with harsh summers so this helps to make sure she is able to have the garden she wants all year to round.” — Lex

“I have an older model myself and have been using it continuously for about 3 years. I gifted this model to my mom for Mother’s Day this year and she absolutely loves it. Easy to maintain, small footprint on her kitchen counter, and grows usable herbs incredibly fast. She was really impressed at how quickly the plants bounced back after a partial harvest. Big success!” — Erin M Ragsdale

“Bought for mother’s day. I can’t believe how this thing is growing! Instructions are easy to follow. By the end of week 2, everything had sprouted and we were taking off their little hats. All of the plants are doing well (we got the herb garden). I’m really impressed. It’s been really fun for mom to watch them grow as she’s been going through some stuff times. This thing is great for lifting her spirits!” — discofan

Target rating: 4.7 out of 5 stars

Sure, there are multiple KitchenAid mixers on the market, but the KitchenAid Professional 5-qt stand mixer is preferred by professionals because of its bowl-lift style. This design features a stationary head and uses a lever to raise and lower the bowl for mixing or adding ingredients. The mixer has 67 touch points around the bowl to thoroughly combine ingredients, plus 10 speeds for whipping cream, kneading dough, mixing cake batter and pretty much anything else a recipe calls for.

Promising review: "I have bought six sets of these sheets in different colors in queen and king sizes. Four sets were gifts and two sets for myself. Everyone that I gave these to as gifts love how soft and wrinkle free they are. They love the colors and all have gone back and bought extra sets of sheets their self because they loved them as much as I did. They were actually washing them and putting them right back on their beds because theirs were not as soft and wrinkle free as these." — Amazon customer

Amazon rating: 4.6 out of 5 stars

Your coffee-loving mom can cafe-quality espresso in the comfort of their home with the Breville Barista Express espresso machine. Lattes, Americanos, cappuccinos and espresso shots are pulled to precision alongside a conical burr grinder that grinds beans on demand and a frother for making perfectly delicious steamed milk. It’s the stuff coffee dreams are made of.

Promising review: "Perfect!!! I’m a new mother, and a full time worker. My coffee keeps me alive! I was a professional barista for several years. This machine heats up quickly and has a wonderful [manual] steam wand. Using this machine I felt like I was back at the café using the Lavazza espresso maker. It has so many grind settings. I prefer a finer setting then 3 shots of espresso with some extra dry foam on my giant cup. And when the filter is full it even has a sign to tell you to dump the water and a light to let you know when to clean out the filter in the water tank. It’s the best home machine I’ve ever had! Simply beautiful." — Pumpkin711
