While we should be celebrating all that moms do every day of the year, this Mother's Day, falling on Sunday, May 8, is the perfect time to treat your mom, or any maternal figure in your life, with an extra special gift. While virtual gifts and flowers are wonderful, pampering the woman who raised you with something she would never splurge on for herself would be even better.
We know that a luxury purchase is not something to take lightly, so we've vetted the best investment gifts for every type of mom that deserves to be doted on. From the woman who spends countless hours in the garden to the one who taught you your way around the kitchen, we've broken down the luxe items that will make mom feel extra special.
The Accessories Connoisseur
If your stylish mama is always rocking the best in accessories, give her the most coveted designer finds from CELINE, Gucci, and Fendi.
The Jewelry Lover
From a classic Hermés timepiece to a stunner statement ring from the woman-owned jeweler Neptune Jewels, there's no better way to tell mom you love her than with jewelry that she'll cherish forever.
The Beach Goer
These chic beach accessories will make any day by the water more enjoyable, especially for those moms who love the crashing sound of waves and the feeling of sand between their toes.
The Wellness Guru
Help mom hit maximum zen with pieces like a plush zig-zag robe from the Italian fashion house Missoni, a high-tech blender for smoothies and green juices, or an indulgent jumbo-sized candle that will make bath time extra soothing.
The Green Thumb
If tending to her flowers and vegetable garden is mom's preferred way of spending time, these sophisticated accessories won't let her down. A stylish hat will shield her eyes from the sun, a multi-purpose tote bag from Dior spares no room, and an ultra-chic clog from Tod's will keep her comfortable without skimping on style.
The Entertainer
If your mom is the hostess with the most, we know her kitchen is likely the life of the party. Why not stock it with the best accouterments for her cocktail parties and dinner soirées, like hand-painted dinnerware from Gucci, gem-colored glassware from La DoubleJ, and refined drink napkins from one-of-a-kind female-led linen brand Atelier Saucier.
