Feeling generous this Mother’s Day? Take a gander at our list of splurge-worthy Mother’s Day gifts, because the Mom in your life obviously deserves something nice. From Kardashian-favorite floral arrangements to a high-tech messaging display board, there’s something worth paying top dollar for — especially if it’s for the woman who gave you or your children life.
While we’ve already compiled a guide of standout items to bestow upon the darling mother in your life, we highly encourage you to consider gifting a real knock-out gift, for a couple of reasons.
It is universally understood that luxury items elicit a certain oooh-ahhhh response, solely because they’re high-end items. But oftentimes, expensive products are splurges for a reason. They tend to be of higher quality, uniquely designed or one-of-a-kind pieces you won’t find anywhere else. Also, instead of gifting a bunch of smaller, less pricey items, it might befit both you and your gift recipient to spring for one premium good you know they’ll get tons of use out of.
So without further ado, the 12 best splurge-worthy items to gift this Mother’s Day:
Caraway Food Storage Set
Time to retire the yellowing and stained Tupperware and bring in the Crown Jewel of food storage containers. This set from Caraway features 14 pieces of modern, cleaning-looking storage options, which include ceramic-coated glass containers that feature Air Release Technology, designed to keep leftovers and the like fresh for longer.
Eberjey Inez Washable Silk Printed Long PJ Set
Washable silk is always a good idea. The revolutionary fabric feels like silk and looks like silk but doesn’t require the same rigid upkeep as regular silk does. Now, she can relax completely and in style in this printed pajama set.
