These are 12 of the best gifts for the women in your life

Mother's Day ideas for the ladies you care about

One thing that most men can agree on when it comes to gift shopping for women is that it can pose quite a challenge. Whether you’re buying a gift for your mom for Mother's Day, or even your girlfriend, fiancé, wife, sister, or something in between for that special day, it can be difficult to find just the right gift for the special woman in your life.

Of course, every woman has her own tastes, interests, and personality, and on the whole, most guys agree that shopping for women they love is no easy task. Should you go with a tried-and-true classic like flowers or chocolate, or will she think that shows no thought or creativity? Will buying a fitness or self-care-related gift be taken as a subtle hint she needs to improve her health? For others, it may not even pose a challenge at all, yet you are still not sure what unique gift to go with. So, what do you do?

Don’t worry. We’ve helped take the guesswork out of the otherwise stressful process of buying the best gifts for women on Mother's Day. Below, we’ve put together a list of 12 great ideas for awesome gifts for women.

The best Mark Wahlberg movies of all time
From Pain & Gain to Boogie Nights, these are the best Mark Wahlberg movies that you can stream now
Christian Bale and Mark Wahlberg in The Fighter

Few actors have had more surprising careers than Mark Wahlberg. After living out a fairly troubled youth and having a brief career as a rapper, Wahlberg transitioned to the big screen and became one of the most enduring movie stars of the past 20 years. Across a wide range of genres, Wahlberg has managed to prove that he has the kind of charisma and charm to carry big-budget spectacles. At the same time, he's also proven that his skills as an actor can be used in smaller, supporting performances, leading to a far more successful acting career than many might have assumed 25 years ago. The films on this list are the best Mark Wahlberg movies, and the ones that crystallize what a great Wahlberg movie should be.

Here’s how to hack your sleep for your best night’s rest
Better sleep quality, not quantity, is crucial for overall health. Here's what you need
A man sleeping peacefully in his bed getting a good night's sleep.

By now, everyone knows just how crucial of a role sleep plays in our overall wellness. Just getting more sleep is not the answer for most. With the hustle and bustle of the modern world following us into the bedroom, it's no wonder so many of us have trouble sleeping.

We all know the proper steps to get a good night's sleep: No caffeine after 2 p.m., no staring at screens in bed as blue light is horrible for sleep, no drinking excessively before bed, and most importantly, having a bedtime routine. Other helpful actions can include sleeping in a totally dark room, keeping the ambient room temperature around 68 degrees Fahrenheit, making sure to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day (yes, even on weekends), and getting outside in sunlight first thing in the morning (window sun does not count).
