Tokens of Love for Your Mama Figure
My Mother's Day gift guide with unexpected treasures and some perfect classics, too.
I love an internet deep dive, and this one is even more special because it’s full of little tokens of love that will pamper and delight the mother figure in your life. From a book about the strength of mothers (recommended by my own Mama) to handmade glassware, wall art, and pants she’ll live in, here’s a roundup of Mother’s Day gifts you won’t find everywhere, and that I’d love to give and receive.
I discovered this Cairo-based ceramics brand when traveling in Portugal, and love this handcrafted palm tree wall art that adds some tropical charm to any home.
I loved every page of this book about the strength of women and mothers. My mom recommended it to me, so I won’t be gifting it to her—but if a female in your orbit hasn’t read it, it would make the perfect gift!
My mom adores the Mexican perfume brand Xinu, and I love this scent—bottled in a handcrafted wood vessel that will serve as an art object after use!
We burn Nette candles in our studio, and customers are always commenting on how fabulous they are. I want to gift this linden blossom scent (and she can use the marigold container to hold makeup brushes or pencils after the candle burns!)
My mother-in-law asked for this for Mother’s Day, and she has great taste! I think turquoise is the fastest way to brighten a look, and this limited-edition strand is a favorite.
If you’re looking for a giftable earring to match the limited edition turquoise, consider the Taj Earrings. Mother-of-pearl is pretty universally loved, and the shimmer of the blue topaz stones in this lightweight style will surely be a hit.
Our mom has a green thumb and is a wiz with orchids, but in case yours isn’t, these paper flower stems are such a beautiful present. I love the idea of flowers that will last forever.
I’m obsessed with all things Monastery; their scents are absolutely divine, and I think their body oil would make a lovely gift.
In the vein of self-care: there’s nothing better than a luxe robe to upgrade lounging and bedtime. I would love to receive this glamorous crepe de chine robe from Else lingerie, which is crafted by artisans in Istanbul.
For any gal who loves to set a table: the coolest printed napkins from the sister-owned, LA-based Blockshop Textiles—one of our all-time faves!
This bubble glass vase, handmade in Provence, is so chic. If you really want to impress, fill it with peonies before gifting!
More self-care: for any gal that needs some soothing, I love this Manuka honey botanical lip balm.
I own this tray and love its message: a reminder of the joy that the women in your life bring!
A bouquet for Mother’s Day? Deliver it in this beautiful flower cone basket.
Cheers the mama in your life with these handblown Murano glass coupes. So gorgeous, they should be displayed on a shelf when not in use!
This is a sophisticated necklace for a woman of any age, and the perfect gift for a gal who leans towards more neutral dressing.
Kathryn and I are big fans of Pleats Please and have gifted their styles to women in our lives before. These pants would be a spring staple, and they happen to be our mom’s favorite color. They’re also very forgiving and look good on just about anyone!
For any interior-minded gal, these handmade emerald iron candlesticks have the prettiest green patina.
One of my favorites from our SS25 collection, in my mama’s beloved periwinkle hue.
Named The Heroine, for your heroine—this hand care set is so luxurious and also necessary after cold, winter-cracked skin!
For her phone, lipstick, and keys—is there anything more chic than Savette’s Tondo Pouch? The color is divine.
I guess you better know someone’s taste pretty well to gift them an area rug, but let's just say, if I got this, I’d be over the moon.
An artsy plate for any artsy lady!
Figure out her shoe size and gift these! Nothing better than an elegant flat!
Your mom (sister, friend, etc.!) will keep in touch when you give her Empress Box Writing Paper, from an Italian brand founded in 1774!
That’s all folks! Happy shopping :)
