For those of you playing Animal Crossing New Horizons regularly, you may have noticed your in-game mum regularly sends you letters and gifts to help you settle into island life. Most of the time these letters are fairly random have a once a month our mum will send us a unique or handmade item as a token of her love that she thinks we need. Whilst everyone who plays receives the same item, different items are received in different hemispheres and each item generally comes in one of eight possible designs.
As we mentioned, mom's gifts are unique items that vary every month, and many of them are customizable. In addition, on our birthday, mum will send us another letter with equally special thought and gift. So here we go over all the available designs as well as cover when players can expect to receive their items.

NOTE:
1. Some items are customizable, some are not! The clothing and flooring items that are not customizable are an apron, sweater, knapsack, and kitchen mat.
2. The items change EACH year and they share the same theme throughout the whole year. If you're playing in 2020 for example, you will get a matching snack pack, apron, and sweater (same color and pattern). If you play in 2021 you will get different matching color variations. This applies to all items.
In order to get all of these Mom items and their variations, you need to Time Travel to the 18th of each month. Check your mail, take your present, save and change the date to the 18th of the following month. Sometimes you wouldn’t get an item on the 18th - if that happened you would SAVE and then change the date to the 25th and would get mom’s gift on that day.
To receive the different variations of mom items, you must time travel to months of the following year, because each year it will give us items of a different variation.
NOTE: You can get multiple of them in the same year but you will get the same color all the time unless you time travel to the following year. If you got a backpack in 2020 you aren't fond of, DO NOT jump forward or back a month and then back to the present, all that will do is give you the same design. The design you get is your 2020 design. You have to hop to May 2021 to get a different design.
