Spring always turns out to be a booked and busy season, and by default, I’m always scrambling to secure the perfect last-minute Mother’s Day gift. However, this year, I’m ahead of schedule with planning — as are my fellow writers and editors — so you’re not stress shopping in the eleventh hour for something that won’t even ship in time.
We’ve pored through popular brands, such as Paula’s Choice, Talbots, and Anthropologie, to source 19 Mother’s Day gifts we’re eyeing for our own moms, including kitchen essentials, home decor, accessories, and more. Keep scrolling to browse our favorites and start adding to your own online cart.
Talbots Leather Trim Canvas Crossbody
Talbots
Bridget Degnan, Partnerships Editor: “My mom constantly compliments the crossbody bags I wear, so I’m eyeing this summer-ready option for her. It’s made of 100 percent cotton and leather and is the perfect size for running errands, going to dinners, and traveling. Plus, the neutral color palette will fit seamlessly into her wardrobe.”
Anthropologie Brigitte Satchel by Melie Bianco
Anthropologie
Megan Schaltegger, Partnerships Writer: “My mom and I have such similar taste that shopping for Mother’s Day often feels like I’m just shopping for myself. I’ve had this $128 satchel bag, which looks like a $3,500 designer version, sitting in my cart for months. Instead of adding it to my own closet, I know my mom would love it for herself. I might just have to borrow it on occasion.”
J.Jill More Love Sterling Silver Hearts Necklace
J.Jill
Bridget Degnan, Partnerships Editor: “You can never go wrong with jewelry, and this interlocking heart necklace is the right amount of sentimental and simple. It’s dainty enough for everyday wear yet will remind her of you every time she puts it on. And thanks to its sterling silver design, it won’t rust over time.”
Pura Vida Mother’s Day Style Pack
Pura Vida
Lauren Fischer, Senior Partnerships Editor: “When I recently visited Costa Rica, I was surrounded by Pura Vida’s relaxed bracelets that captured the country’s positive vibe. I love this three-piece Mother’s Day pack that includes the brand’s signature string bracelets made for layering, along with a gold plated paper clip charm bracelet and mother of pearl bead bracelet. I may grab one for my mom and sister to represent the three of us and help us stay connected even when we’re miles away.”
Proflowers The Dreamscape Bouquet
ProFlowers
Rachel Trujillo, Partnerships Writer: “Living a few states away from my mom means I typically have to opt for easily shippable gifts that don’t require any wrapping for Mother’s Day. And while flowers might seem like a cliché gift, this arrangement from Proflowers makes the case for flowers being the perfect gift. The bouquet comes ready to display in a vase, and I love that the brand offers information on pet safety, so I can be sure I’m ordering a gift that is safe for my family’s household.”
Personalization Mall Close To Her Heart Throw Pillow
Personalization Mall
Lauren Fischer, Senior Partnerships Editor: “We gifted this customizable pillow to my mother-in-law with the names of all her kids and grandkids on it, and I’m grabbing it for my own mom to personalize it with the names of the special people in her life. It comes in eight colors so I can choose one that will nicely complement the neutral color of her couch, and I appreciate that it can fit up to 21 names to accommodate our large family. Plus, it’s super soft and cushiony for lounging.”
Vitamix 4-Piece Immersion Blender Bundle
Vitamix
Megan Schaltegger, Partnerships Writer: “If your mom lives for new kitchen appliances, consider adding this super versatile blender stick and accessories bundle to your online cart. The immersion blender lets you utilize any container for combining ingredients, while the bundle as a whole comes with a blending jar, whisk attachment, and even an immersion station.”
Replacements China Belleek Pottery Shamrock Picture Frame
Replacements, LTD.
Bridget Degnan, Partnerships Editor: “My mom embraces our Irish heritage in her home, so this shamrock picture frame with a family photo of us would be a thoughtful Mother’s Day gift. It was made in Ireland, exudes vintage charm, and has a woven-like design. This is one of the many pieces I’m eyeing from Replacements, as it’s full of hidden gems that make unique gifts.”
Banana Republic Factory Paper Straw Shopper Tote
Banana Republic Factory
Rachel Trujillo, Partnerships Writer: “We have a family trip planned to Mexico this year, so I’m taking Mother’s Day as an opportunity to make sure my mom is fully equipped for a tropical vacation. This straw tote bag from Banana Republic Factory fits my mom’s style perfectly, will be the ideal accessory to pair with her vacation wardrobe, and is currently 40 percent off in all three colors.”
Nisolo Go-To Flatform Sandal
Nisolo
Ali Faccenda, Partnerships Writer: “My mom’s favorite fashion staple is a trusty pair of shoes. Now that it’s sandal season, I know she’d love these lightweight and water-resistant leather ones from Nisolo. I know she cares a lot about having footwear with reliable support and traction, and these offer both but don’t sacrifice style in the process. These will look perfect with a dress for a night out and complement more casual daytime looks, too.”
Corkcicle Rifle Paper Co. Can Cooler
Corkcicle
Ali Faccenda, Partnerships Writer: “One of our favorite activities to do together in the spring and summer is enjoy refreshing cocktails by the pool, so I know my mom will appreciate having a few of these can coolers on hand. Even in the scorching sun, drinks stay cold for up to three hours. I also know she’s a fan of Rifle Paper Co.’s bright, floral designs, so the fact that these feature the brand’s iconic flower print is even more of a reason that they’re on my radar.”
Paula’s Choice Vitamin C Glutathione Clinical Serum
Sephora
Ariel Scotti, Editorial Director: “One of my mom’s favorite perks of my job is that I get to test a ton of different skincare products — which means she does, too. One of her favorites is this vitamin C serum that she says has helped to fade dark spots from too many years spent in the sun. I’ll grab this and a few more shopper favorites (like this exfoliator a fellow editor recently recommended) to add to her Mother’s Day gift.”
Minted Custom Monogram Pickleball Paddle
Minted
Megan Schaltegger, Partnerships Writer: “Because my mom is absolutely pickleball obsessed, I know she would just love this adorable monogram paddle that features a double-sided design. The personalized feature adds a sweet touch, while the fiberglass surface and faux leather grip make it equally functional for hitting the courts.”
Clarks Serina Mule
Clarks
Ali Faccenda, Partnerships Writer: “My mom loves to call me her personal stylist and it’s true; I love picking out new clothing and accessories for her to wear, and at this point, I know her pretty dang well. She loves a stylish sandal for elevated looks but prefers a chunkier wedge for support, so these off-white leather mules from Clarks are right up her alley. To ensure she’s comfortable, I love that these feature a contour cushion footbed and a flexible grippy sole.”
1800Flowers Fancy Artisan Belgian Chocolate Strawberries
1-800-Flowers.com
Ali Faccenda, Partnerships Writer: “I know my mom has a big sweet tooth, so sending her a box of these artisan Belgian chocolate-covered strawberries would be a huge hit. (I’d also love getting to share them with her ). These decadent morsels look extra fancy with toppings like dark chocolate curls, freeze-dried strawberry pieces, and coconut flakes for a yummy variety.”
Victoria’s Secret Short Pajama Set
Amazon
Ariel Scotti, Editorial Director: “My mom loves a sophisticated, matching pajama moment, and since she’s never met a Polo-style shirt she didn’t like, this tailored top and shorts set is right up her alley. It’s made from modal material that shoppers say is “super soft,” and has a touch of stretch for added comfort, too. I love that it comes in so many colors and prints, and I might have to grab one for myself.”
Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro
Samsung
Megan Schaltegger, Partnerships Writer: “My mom has had so much trouble with her current earbuds that I’ve been on the hunt for a better pair that won’t spontaneously go silent when she’s chatting on the phone. The on-sale Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro are not only a great price, but they also offer “ambient sound” and allow people to hear you “clearly without background noise,” according to shoppers.”
Pureology Hydrate Superfood Treatment Mask
Pureology
Megan Schaltegger, Partnerships Writer: “My mom has the best hair of anyone I know. And since I swear by Pureology products to keep my own tresses fresh and healthy, I’m eyeing this Hydrate Superfood Treatment as a gift add-on that I know she’ll love too. The “vitamin shot for your hair” boosts shine and moisturizes from the root to the ends.”
Fossil Summer Tote
Fossil
Ariel Scotti, Editorial Director: “My mom is a beach girly through and through, but her beach bag game could definitely use an upgrade. I love that this bag is crafted from a cotton-blended straw material that’s sturdy yet gives a laid-back beach vibe, and it’s completely lined on the inside to protect all of your things. The bag is super spacious and measures 21 inches by 5 inches by 12 inches, meaning you can stuff a beach towel, enormous water bottle, book, snacks, and sunscreen with room to spare, plus, the leather-like handles give it an elevated look that help it transition seamlessly from beach to lunch.”
