Let’s face it: trying to pick the perfect Mother’s Day gift in 2025 is like getting dropped into a shopping-themed escape room with no clues, a 48-hour timer, and emotionally high-stakes consequences.

You log onto Amazon, Shopee, or Lazada thinking you’ll find the one. Instead, you’re 72 products deep, wondering why you’re comparing foot spas with motivational mugs that say “Thanks for not selling me to the circus.” Welcome to the paralysis of choice, brought to you by modern ecommerce.

But here’s the good news: AI can help you make sense of it all even if you only have a screenshot. I’ll show you how a simple AI tool (like ChatGPT) can process a wall of bestsellers from Amazon, Shopee, and Lazada, and turn it into gift-giving clarity. Whether you’re planning promotions, stocking an online store, or just trying to not disappoint your mom, this is the shortcut you didn’t know you needed.

The Problem: Ecommerce Feels Like a Firehose

If you’ve ever searched “Mother’s Day gift” on Amazon, you know what happens next:

• 200+ listings
• All with 4.9 stars
• A suspicious number of bath sets, chocolate boxes, and books that promise to make your mom cry in a good way
  

And that’s just one platform.

Now do it again on Shopee. And again on Lazada. You’ll quickly realize two things.

• Every product listing feels like a good idea.
• You have absolutely no idea what’s actually trending or worth buying.

Enter AI: Turning Screenshots into Strategy

Now here’s where AI steps in. By simply uploading or pasting a screenshot of bestseller listings, ChatGPT (or your AI of choice) can:

• Parse the listings
• Spot trends (even from images)
• Summarize what types of gifts are resonating
• Deliver a prioritized list of recommended products or gift themes

No APIs, no spreadsheets, no weeks of market research. Just screenshots → strategy.

Let’s put this to the test.

What’s Really Trending in 2025:

AI-Extracted Insights from Amazon, Shopee & Lazada

Amazon: Sentimentality Sells With a Side of Spa

From the bestsellers page, we spotted immediate patterns:

Top Performing Gift Types:

• Books about Mom: “Letters to My Mom”, “Why a Son Needs a Mom”—emotion leads the list.
• Spa & Self-Care Sets: Bath bombs, essential oils, sleep masks
• Funny + Personalized Mugs: Think “Being my mom is the only job you never quit”
• Custom Jewelry & Keepsake Boxes: Engraved necklaces, lockets, music boxes
  

AI’s Take: Emotional gifts > functional ones. But combine both (like a massage set + heartfelt card)? You’re winning. Moms want to feel seen and spoiled in that order.

Shopee: Budget-Friendly, Instagram-Ready, and Super Cute

Shopee’s top sellers read like a Gen Z aesthetic handbook, and the pricing is ultra-accessible.

Top Performing Gift Types:

• Soap Rose Bouquets & Crochet Flowers: Zero-maintenance beauty
• Towel Cakes & DIY Gift Boxes: Smart packaging + low cost = perceived value
• Cute Plush Bouquets & Sanrio Gift Sets: Sentimental + visually fun
• Affordable Mugs & Personalized Coasters: Practical + customizable
  

AI’s Take: On Shopee, the packaging is the product. The more pastel, flower-shaped, or cartoon-adjacent it is, the better it sells. Add-ons like personalized notes or “thank you” coasters push conversions over the top.

Lazada: Handmade, Handwritten, and Emotionally Rich

Lazada users are clearly shopping with the heart. The focus? Cards, keepsakes, and handmade bundles.

Top Performing Gift Types:

• Pop-Up Cards & Envelope Sets: Visual storytelling with a message
• Soap Flowers & Preserved Bouquets: Long-lasting, gift-ready arrangements
• Mini Gift Boxes with Chocolates, Keychains, Candles: Multi-item bundles
• DIY & Framed Sentiments: “10 Things I Love About Mom” kits, memory jars

AI’s Take: Lazada shoppers lean into thoughtfulness + tradition. If the gift could double as something mom might display or keep for years, it’s a winner.

AI-Powered Gift Strategy: What You Can Actually Do with This

So now that we’ve decoded this wave of product listings with AI, what can you do with the insights?

Here’s how to apply this:

For Product Development:

Build bundles that combine emotion + utility.
Example:

• Shopee-style soap flower bouquet
• Amazon-style spa kit
• Lazada-style thank-you card
  

Boom. One $20 combo gift, high emotional impact.

For E-commerce Campaigns:

Segment by gift personality:

• “For the sentimental mom” → Amazon-style gifts
• “For the budget-but-beautiful buyer” → Shopee picks
• “For the traditional gift-giver” → Lazada cards + keepsakes
  

Use AI to write product descriptions and gift guides around these themes.

For Marketing Teams:

Use AI to summarize listing screenshots weekly from top platforms.

• Turn insights into content
• Predict next month’s trends
• Spot emerging product categories before they spike
  

You can even prompt ChatGPT with:

“Summarize this screenshot of Amazon Mother’s Day bestsellers. What’s trending? What emotional themes show up? Recommend 5 product ideas based on it.”

Suddenly, your product strategy just leveled up.

You don’t need a degree in market research to spot ecommerce trends anymore.
You just need a screenshot—and a smart AI tool to make sense of it.

Here’s the magic formula:

Screenshots + AI = Insightful, Conversion-Ready Product Strategy

And if Mother’s Day feels like the Super Bowl of emotionally risky gifting…
…then let AI be your coach, strategist, and creative director.

In a world where buyers are emotionally driven but visually overwhelmed, your edge isn’t in selling harder it’s in understanding better.

Let AI do the heavy scrolling. You just deliver the right gift, at the right moment, with the right message. No circus mugs required.
