The Ultimate Mother's Day Gift Guide

Send this to your partner (and your kids)

May 01, 2025

Mother’s Day is fast approaching and, let’s be real, while the handmade cards and ugly pasta bead bracelets are cute, we deserve some additional goodies. After all, we did push those little craft-making cuties out of our hoo has. And while many of our significant others have the best of intentions when shopping for us, they don’t always get it right. Let me help them (you) out. Behold, my ultimate Mother’s Day Gift Guide…

Jewelry

Ring Concierge Tennis Bracelet: Diamonds are a girls best friend—this saying exists for a reason so listen up. Tennis bracelets make beautiful gifts because they’re forever fashionable and easy to style, a truly classic gift. They also have a more affordable mini tennis bracelet, which I wear as part of my everyday stack (and love).

Jennifer Fisher Eternity Band: Nothing says I love you forever like a diamond eternity band. This one is chic and unique without totally breaking the bank. If you’re looking to up the ante and go for a more expensive option, I LOVE this.

Roxanne Assoulin Just Say It Bracelet: These stackable, customizable bracelets are perfect for summer. Customize them with “mama” or your kids’ names for something extra thoughtful.

Mejuri Zodiac Charm Pendant: I cannot walk 1 damn block in New York City without seeing a pendant necklace. These are hot shit right now. Get one with the mom in your life’s zodiac sign or her kids’ signs for something a bit more sentimental.

Fashion

Alo Yoga Airlift Intrigue Bra and Pants: While I love so many athletic-wear brands, this set is one of my favorites. It’s perfect for pilates, yoga, hot girl walks with a stroller and makes both your tush and boobies look fire. I love the chocolate color but you honestly can’t go wrong.

Negative Underwear Whipped Henley and Track Pant: Everyone and their mother (haha, see what I did there) is buying this set right now. It’s butter soft, comfy and dare I say sexy. In lieu of lingerie, get your wife something she’ll actually wear—this set.

Celine Triomphe Sunglasses: These glasses scream classic elegance. They will never go out of style and, for that reason, are a perfect gift. Think of them as an investment. Get the tortoise color.

Dagne Dover Landon Bag: I LIVE for Dagne Dover—their diaper bags, this duffle bag, and their luggage, all of it. This Landon Bag in the large size is my husband and my go-to gym and carryon bag.

Hill House Home Ellie Nap Dress: The nap dress is a viral sensation for a reason. It’s chic, comfortable, easily packable and elegant. The mom in your life will live in this all summer and it’s the perfect dress for her to wear on Mother’s Day. My favorite part about this? You can get one to match your little one. It’s so cute I could pass out.

Staud Brigitte Mules: I’m calling it now—these are the shoes of the summer. The perfect heal hight to go with every outfit and I love the array of colors. I already ordered my pair but, I have to say, there’s something sexy about a man buying his wife shoes…

Beauty

Sugared + Bronzed Gift Card: Being tan for the summer is chic. You know what’s not? Skin damage and wrinkles. Skip the sun and treat the mom in your life to the gift of spray tans from Sugared + Bronzed - buy a gift card or use the code LIAVIP for $20 off your first service. This spot is opening up everywhere and I get the hype. I think your wife will too.

Jo Malone Peony and Blush Suede Cologne: This scent is gorgeous for spring/summer. It’s truly beautiful and a lovely, thoughtful gift.

L’Occitane Bath Set: I can’t lie. Anyone who knows me knows I love a bath. I even forfeited a double sink in lieu of a ginormous tub. There’s something incredibly luxurious about having a beautiful bathing ritual that includes oil and lotion. This set is one of my favorites.

Hermes Lipstick Set: Everyone loves a gift that comes in an orange box and while I’m perpetually hoping that that box contains a Birkin 30 or Mini Kelly (someone please send this to my husband), a lipstick set will do too. Hermes lipsticks are (somewhat surprisingly) beautiful. This is a perfect little something.

Tech + Other Goods:

Venus et Fleur Flower Box: I have a bone to pick with flowers on Mother’s Day. Who in the world wants ANOTHER thing to take care of? Not I. Venus et Fleur flowers are not only stunningly beautiful but also made to last. Skip the flowers she’ll have for a week (if that) and get these instead.

Bose Headphones: Sometimes we need a break from our kids (and our partners). These headphones allow us to drown out your bullshit, if only for a little bit. Huge fan of these.

Higher Dose Mat: Chances are, the mom in your life needs to chill the fuck out. I’ve heard incredible things about this mat and sauna blanket—both are on my to buy list.
