No one works harder—or loves harder—than moms. So if you’re looking for a reason to go all out with a gift, Mother’s Day is it.
Hoping to spoil your mom? Treat a new mama in your circle? Surprise your best friend? Or maybe you’re ready to finally get what you actually want this year. Say no more, start here.
Inside, you’ll find gift ideas that feel personal, useful, and special enough to make her pause and say, “Wait… this is actually perfect.”
Because Mother’s Day is the best excuse to slow down and celebrate the women who show up for everyone else all year long. And trust me—no one’s ever complained about being too appreciated.
For the mom who loves a good outfit
Leset | Yoko Maxi Dress
Effortless and elegant, this chocolate colored maxi is made from the softest cotton (seriously—bed sheet vibes). With adjustable straps and an easy silhouette, it’s just right for warm days and simplified dressing.
Leset | Yoko Pocket Pant
Let mom feel pulled-together and comfy. These are the wear-everywhere pants that make getting dressed on busy mornings feel easy—but still chic.
Donni | The Baby Rib Scallop Pant
I’m in love with everything DONNI makes—including these pants. They’re soft (like ridiculously soft), flattering, and have just enough detail to make them feel special. Pair them with a favorite tee or the matching top and call it the new go-to.
Aureum | No. 16 Belt
Handcrafted in Italy from a rich, full-grain leather, this gorgeous belt has a 24k gold-tone buckle that instantly pulls any outfit together. Timeless, luxe, and the kind of piece she’ll keep forever.
Aureum | No. 17 Belt
The forever cool sister to the No. 16 above. A 24k gold-tone buckle and a goes-with-anything black that feels polished but unfussy.
Jamie Haller | The Penny Loafer
Handmade in Tuscany with waxed leather and a buttery-soft lining, these loafers are the kind of forever shoe that turns heads quietly. The oxblood hue adds just the right amount of edge to a classic silhouette. An investment, yes—but worth every penny (pun intended).
Mansur Gavriel | Moon Sling Bag
Love this one so much! The sculptural shape makes it feel modern, and the jasmine color is an unexpectedly versatile neutral. A go-to size for errands, brunch, or tossing in a snack pouch and heading to the park.
Freja | Mini Chrystie Bag
If you haven’t heard of this brand yet, now’s the time—it’s been gaining a cult status for its chic, everyday bags. The pistachio color is unexpectedly versatile. And the shape is a fun nod to the '90s style.
Janessa Leone | Felix Hat
A fresh take on a vintage vibe, mamas will love this sweet straw hat. Gardening with the kids? Lounging at the beach? Heading out on a family trip? This is the throw-on-and-go accessory that adds instant cool to any sunny day.
A.Emery | Davis Sandals
Sleek and comfy—perfect for park hangs, travel days, or just feeling a little more put together with zero effort. They’ll go with everything—a favorite linen dress to a quick jeans-and-tee errand outfit.
A.Emery | Edna Leather Sandals
These are the kind of sandals that make every outfit look intentional—even if you got dressed in under 3 minutes between daycare drop-off and coffee. Low maintenance and stylish!
For the one who deserves a morning or night in
Eberjey | Frida Cami & Shorts PJ Set
Cute enough for a slow weekend morning, comfy enough for collapsing into bed after a long day. These feel-good PJs give mom the perfect excuse to wind down and feel stylish and cozy while doing it.
Eberjey | Gisele Cami & Pant PJ Set
Yes, another Eberjey set (honestly, I can’t get enough). This one’s cool on top, cozier on bottom—and just the thing for moms who want to feel put together even when they’re in full lounge mode.
Kitsch Jade Roller
A mini moment of self-care that actually fits into a busy mom’s day. Keep it on the nightstand or stash it in the bathroom—it's perfect for rolling in serums, calming puffiness, or just taking 60 quiet seconds for some alone time.
Mama + Mini Sweatshirts
Who doesn’t love a matching moment? These embossed embroidered sweatshirts are the kind you’ll actually want to wear. Tons of color and thread combos mean you can make them feel your own (or gift one to your favorite mama duo). It’s a sweet sentimental touch that still feels low-key.
Mama + Customized Child’s Sweatshirt
Another matching option. You can personalize each sweatshirt, which makes it such a thoughtful gift (or a meaningful keepsake for yourself). I have these with both my kids’ nicknames and always get asked where they’re from.
Effortless sparkle for every kind of day
Dorsey | Clemence Gold Strand Necklace
Simple, lovely, and just sparkly enough. This strand of lab-grown white sapphires is one of those pieces you can wear for all the things—a Zoom call, school pickup, or heading out to dinner.
Dorsey | Kate Round Cut Necklace
Well, this one’s a total head-turner. With its row of sparkling white sapphires and timeless feel, it’s the kind of necklace that will earn mom compliments on every outing. Elegant, but still easy.
Adina Eden | Solid Open Rounded Statement Earrings
This pair of 14k gold-plated from Adina Eden are the kind of everyday-meets-elevated piece any mom would appreciate in her jewelry rotation. Sleek, sculptural, and surprisingly lightweight, they add just enough shine to a casual coffee run—and hold their own for date night, too.
For the host with the most (even when it's just family dinner)
H&M | Large Glass Bowl
Don’t sleep on H&M’s home section—this glass bowl is a hidden gem. The fan-inspired design and warm brown tone make it an easy way to freshen up any space. It would look just as beautiful sitting empty on the table as it would filled with citrus fruits.
H&M | Rattan Tray
Another favorite from H&M. This neutral tray is one of those pieces that instantly makes a space feel more styled. It'd work well holding candles on the counter or delivering a kid-approved picnic lunch to the living room floor.
H&M | Marble Serving Bowl
This light beige marble bowl looks way more expensive than it is. It’s perfect for the mom who enjoys bringing people together—even if it’s just her crew around the dinner table.
H&M | 3-Pack Stoneware Serving Bowls
Have a cheese and olive loving mom in your life? (Or am I just describing myself?) This little trio is perfect for snacks, dips while catching up on her favorite show, or grazing during the pre-dinner chaos. Comes with matching spoons and a wood tray to pull it all together.
H&M | Glass Vase
Who doesn’t love flowers? This fluted glass vase makes it super easy to brighten her space—just add her favorite pick of flowers. Simple, pretty, and one of those gifts that works every time.
H&M | 2-Pack Linen-Blend Napkins
A sweet add-on for the mom who appreciates the details. Pair them with the glass bowl, marble dish, or rattan tray for a thoughtful kitchen or table upgrade that feels pulled together without trying too hard.
H&M | Wooden Salad Servers
Have and love these myself. Bring a salad for Mother’s Day brunch or dinner, and leave these behind as a little “thanks for everything” gift.
H&M | Linen-Blend Apron
This is the apron that makes you feel like you're living in a Nancy Meyers movie—soft linen blend, crossed back, big pockets, the whole vibe. Wear it for weekend baking with the kids or tossing over your clothes before a dinner party. And yes, it even makes wiping up berry stains from tiny fingers feel a little more charming.
For the mom who’s always got something going on
COS | Mini Woven Tote Bag
Stylish and sturdy, this mini tote is a go-to for days that don’t slow down. It holds the essentials, looks good doing it, and feels like a little win when you’re juggling everything else.
Reformation | Isabella Tote
The black mesh version? Highly recommend. This way you’re not constantly digging around for keys or snacks, and it somehow manages to feel both seasonal and sleek.
Cuyana | Travel Jewelry Case
For any mom who’s ever untangled her favorite necklace at the bottom of a bag. A travel jewelry case is a seriously thoughtful gift for the mom who’s always on the move.
Clare V | Fanny Pack
If you’re totally stuck on a gift idea, you can’t go wrong here. This one’s loved for a reason—moms rave about how easy it makes life (raises hand in agreement). Stash the essentials, go hands-free, and still look pulled together.
Leset | The Margo 2 Pack
When there’s always something on the calendar, a great tee is non-negotiable. The Margo is one of those staples to grab on repeat—easy, flattering, and always up for whatever the day brings.
