The Best Mother’s Day Gifts, From $100 to $1,000+

Moms are awesome. Whether it’s your own dear mommie, your sister, your partner, your nana, or a close friend, mothers make the world a better place, and frankly there aren’t any gifts that could possibly measure up to all the love and happiness they bring to the world every day. That said, don’t even think about showing up to Mother’s Day empty-handed. 

If you’re stumped for ideas, or you’ve been guilty of rotating through the same handful of trinkets and chocolates over the last decade, we’ve got you covered with some stylish, unconventional selections, starting at under $100 and going all the way up to four figures. These are some of our favorite gift ideas for moms of all types: the gourmets, the athletes, the coffee-lovers, the sentimentalists, the busy professionals, and the jetsetters.

Whether it’s for chilling out after a long day at work, or cuddling with little ones, it’s important to keep the moms in our lives comfy and cozy. ChappyWrap blankets are remarkably soft, durable and hold up well to frequent use. They also come in some really beautiful prints, like this reversible blue-and-white floral. This throw comes in two sizes: a standard 60″ x 80″ and the family-size 90″ x 90,” which can also double as a coverlet for a queen or king bed.

This versatile piece of cookware can work on the stove, in the oven, and as a piece of servingware. We love the midcentury vibes of the brown and yellow hues, but the black and white are also safe bets if your recipient’s tastes skew more Magnolia Home than Boogie Nights. Bonus: the distinctive lid also doubles as a trivet to protect counters and tables.

This distinctive little timepiece manages to be cute and feminine without being over the top. The bee detail at the center of the 29mm case makes it special and unique, and the two-tone bracelet band allows it to easily transition from day to night.

Yes, $100+ is a lot to spend on cookies. But Ladurée macarons are not just cookies. These are ephemeral pieces of sugared-almond bliss, baked by unicorns in a diamond oven that billows cotton-candy puffs of smoke. They are beautiful, delicate, and quintessentially Parisian. Most important of all, every single flavor is freakin’ delicious. They will keep in the fridge for a week or so, but they won’t last that long. Also, the lovely box makes a fun little keepsake for jewelry and knicknacks.

This distinctive hand-quilted cotton jacket is crafted from crosshatch ikat made in India. The repeating motif is inspired by kites in flight, created under the guidance of a master artisan weaver in Andhra Pradesh. This versatile piece is perfect for transitional weather, and pairs brilliantly with jeans or dressy, relaxed trousers.

When it comes to women’s bags, logomania is out and stealth-wealth versatility is in. This does-it-all tote is perfect for work, play, and everything in between. Quince has six colors to choose from, but we’re partial to the timeless black and dark brown. Made of top-grain Italian leather, this bag looks far more expensive in person.

This hand-crafted candelabra from a Brooklyn-based ceramics studio has a swooping, graceful wave design that pairs beautifully with all kinds of decorative styles, from traditional to midcentury and contemporary. It comes in either black or white, and holds six ¾” taper candles. Don’t forget to pick up some candles to go along with it.

What’s more chic than a LV duffle bag stashed in the overhead compartment? A vintage LV duffle bag stashed in the overhead compartment. The brown leather accents on the iconic monogrammed Keepall become darker and more supple with use. It’s an heirloom piece she’ll use for years.

Okay, recommending a bathrobe for Mothers’ Day isn’t exactly splitting the atom, but there’s a reason this is a staple gift idea. Robes are cozy and comfy, can be used every day, and you don’t need to know the recipient’s exact size to pick a great one. We love this hooded Anthropologie number that pays loving homage to everyone’s favorite bit of viennoiserie, the noble croissant.

There’s something special about a luxurious set of pyjamas. They insist on comfort as forcefully as a ratty pair of sweatpants, but still manage to look pulled together and stylish, like you’re eating room service breakfast in a five-star hotel. But it’s harder than you’d think to find jammies that are made of breathable, natural materials. Piglet makes a lot of soft, lovely hues and subtle patterns, but we’re partial to this traditional long-sleeved set in a flattering shade of blue.

Is your mom looking to upgrade from a dusty old Keurig, but not quite enough of a coffee obsessive to upgrade to a full-blown espresso machine? The Philips-made L’Or Barista machine hits the sweet spot, since it’s able to use both traditional single-serve and Nespresso-branded capsules. Its tiny footprint ensures it won’t take up valuable counter space, while the frother can easily whip up hot and cold foam using dairy or non-dairy milks.

You may scoff at the notion of a nearly $300 hairbrush, but this British company has been around for more than 130 years for good reason. Mason Pearson makes the Rolls Royce of hairbrushes. Made with a combination of boar and nylon bristles, it easily detangles, doesn’t tear or pull, and leaves your hair feeling soft and silky in just a few strokes. Using it makes you feel like a Russian Empress. This is one of the few “buy it once, have it for life” products still in existence. I’ve had mine for 25+ years, used it daily, and it still looks brand new.

Who among us doesn’t have hundreds of photos on our phones and laptops that we’ve been meaning to properly display? Consider Mothers’ Day the opportunity you’ve been waiting for. Aura’s 15″ frame boasts a 1600 x 1200 HD display, and the simple black and silver frame options are complemented by a thick paper mat that makes it feel far more elevated than the sea of junky digital frames on Amazon. Best of all? You can add a bunch of photos in advance, so they’re ready and waiting when she opens it.
