New and updated: our 2022 Mother’s Day Gift guide
To put it very, very mildly, it’s been a long year.
Thus, as Mother’s Day approaches, it’s safe to say that your mom, wife, grandma, aunt, mother of your child and any other maternal figures in your life all deserve a nice gift or two. Or ten. It’s why we’ve compiled this lengthy list of glorious goods the moms in your life will undoubtedly love this Mother’s Day. Seriously, get ready to hear her gush about what a phenomenal gift giver you are.
Below you’ll find everything she’ll need, from snazzy new outfits for her grand re-entry into society to astoundingly beautiful home goods and practical but still very pretty kitchenware she’ll be dying to show off — plus everything she needs to maintain her own health and wellness, along with lots of luxurious beauty products that’ll look darling on her vanity. We’ve even got gifts for the new and expectant mothers out there. So get to gifting, buddy.
A Message From Tiffany & Co.
This Mother’s Day, give the gift of Tiffany T1. Exquisitely crafted by Tiffany’s master craftspeople in 18k yellow, rose or white gold, the Tiffany T1 collection features head-turning diamonds set by hand into a complex honeycomb pattern, resulting in incredible radiance, texture and dimension.
You can’t go wrong with a pair of Jimmy Choos, and these slip-on suede pumps are seriously a dream. Available in a unique mossy green hue, this style works as a classy daytime heel or a night-on-the-town pump.
Coach is making a bit of a comeback, and the American-based leather goods brand’s Pillow Tabby Shoulder Bag is the star of its glow-up. Made from a super plush, incredibly soft Nappa leather, this in-demand bag is one she’ll wanna rest her head on (and honestly, she could.) The Pillow Tabby also features two detachable straps so she can carry it as a short shoulder bag or a crossbody, while the surprisingly spacious inside will fit her daily essentials perfectly.
Handmade and designed in the Hamptons, Out East Eyewear’s Willow shades are the perfect mix of trendy and retro with handcrafted rectangular tortoise acetate frames.
Made in Italy, this Chloe croc-embossed calfskin shoulder bag is a dainty yet luxurious accessory. It’s lined with beige suede, features a fold-over flap with a logo-engraved turn-lock fastening and is finished with a curb chain shoulder strap for a modern (but still totally unmistakably expensive) look.
A travel jewelry case is a life-saver, and this square zippered number with gorgeous monogramming from Mark & Graham is one she’ll carry with her forever. The functional case is thoughtfully designed to fit rings, necklaces and earrings neatly and safely thanks to a soft cushioned inside and multiple compartments. The textured vegan leather can be customized with eighteen different colors and three font personalization options.
Comfortable, cute and easy-to-clean. Thousand Fell’s Lace Up sneakers are all that, plus super sustainable and vegan. The shoe is made from recycled bottles, natural rubber and food waste components. She can even go sockless thanks to the sneaker’s breathable, anti-odor Aloe Vera liner that wicks away heat for cool, non-stinky feet.
A buttery-soft leather sandal she can sport on the go. With a trendy square toe, an easy-to-galavant-in heel, cushioned insole and breathable backless design, this style from Everlane is a must-have warm-weather shoe. Only caveat is you’ll have to pair it with a gift card to her pedicurist.
Of course this summer she needs an oversized sun hat to shield her glowing skin from those harmful rays. Alanui’s new San Antonio straw hat features a classic raffia design but with a fun bandana print detail that’ll match her new Jimmy Choo pumps.
A summertime dress to rule them all. Reformation’s Kia Dress balances the perfect amount of sex appeal and elegance with a full-length, form-fitting style, straight neckline and thick, comfortable straps. (Note: maybe save this one for your baby mama, not your actual mama.)
This breezy, abstract Kimono from lifestyle brand DIARRABLU makes for a chic bathing suit cover-up.
With this sleek, stainless-steel electric pour-over kettle from Fellow, she’ll be able to control her desired temperature for hot beverages. Featuring a precise pour spout and a “hold” option that keeps water at the perfect temp for 60 minutes, she’ll get a soothing cup every time.
This hard-wearing but insanely good-looking trowel is ideal for her prized rose bushes, herb garden or various raised beds. Hand-forged by a father-and-son team in Japan’s Niigata Prefecture, this gardening tool isn’t just about looks, it’s one of a kind and built to last.
She’ll love this Baublebar throw because it’s not like any other she owns. It’s a super soft acrylic knit throw personalized with her name, initials or favorite saying, with a unique, eye-catching two-tone design.
Each one of La Playa’s beachy candle vessels is hand-blown, offering a unique piece of decor. And while the candles smell great, the best part is after burning, that same (food-safe) vessel makes for a cute margarita glass.
For Mother’s Day, The Pineapple Collaborative put together its best-selling pantry staples in one convenient and very adorable gift set. It comes with the brand’s high-quality olive oil and apple cider vinegar, and it even includes a limited-edition card for a custom gift message.
You know the deal. Le Creuset’s iconic Dutch oven is much beloved for baking bread, stewing soups and braising various meats — but almost more important is how good it looks on stovetops (especially in this exclusive Sea Salt color.) We’re not saying you’ll get son/husband of the year for this gift but … you might.
Modern florist collective FTD makes gifting flowers a breeze. You can browse their collection of best-selling Mother’s Day bouquets and plants, or go with this classic bouquet full of blush-colored roses. If done with care, the classics still work just fine.

A convenient, everyday knife that’ll never let her down. She can dice, slice, chop and mince vegetables, meats, herbs and whatever else with this sleek, all-purpose chef knife.
Outdoor Voices’ recently-launched Athena Dress quickly became a fan favorite. Most likely because the lightweight, unlined dress is a flattering, comfortable go-to style for running errands and recreational activity.
Say, “I’m sorry for all the times I’ve deeply disappointed you” with Hydro Flask’s curated Mother’s Day bundles. The “I’m so sorry” set comes with the drinkware brand’s 10oz Wine Tumbler, 24oz Standard Mouth water bottle and a handy vessel for her coffee — all with Hydro Flask’s double wall vacuum insulation and durable stainless steel construction that keeps beverages cold or hot for hours totally protected.

Handcrafted from beach-wood, Crown Affair’s stylish hairbrush is designed for all hair types and does more than just detangle hair — it also prevents unseemly static, smooths frizz and stimulates the scalp to promote blood flow, which in turn, gives her shiny, healthy, Disney princess hair.
This makeup trio is for the moms who like (and need) a time-saving and efficient beauty routine. The Beauty Starter Kit stars Alleyoop’s 4-in-1 makeup brush, a creamy eyeshadow stick, a blush, contour and highlight compact and a clear bag to store everything in.

Glossier’s bestselling mascara lengthens lashes without annoying flakes or gross clumps.

You never realize how much you need a travel perfume until you desperately need a quick freshen-up. That’s where American haute parfumerie House of Sillage comes in.

You have no idea what this is for, but she does, and that’s all that matters.
Sunscreen is the most important part of her skincare routine (and yours.) It’s why we’re big fans of Supergoop, which doesn’t leave our skin feeling sticky and bogged down like traditional sunscreen. But if she’s looking for sun protection and a bit of glow, the brand’s Glowscreen is perfect. It not only protects the skin from harmful rays, but it hydrates it and leaves a dewy, sun-kissed finish.

$400 seems like an insane price for a hair dryer … until you take Dyson’s Supersonic Hair Dryer out for a spin. Built for all hair types, the Supersonic is engineered to protect hair from heat damage, increase shine and significantly cut down dry time. Speaking from personal experience, she’ll love you for this one.
Hatch’s best-selling body oil hydrates skin and reduces the appearance of stretch marks during and post-pregnancy without making her feel like a greaseball. The plant-based oil is made with calendula, sweet almond oil and grapefruit peel and is completely free of parabens, phthalates, dyes and fragrance. Not to mention, it comes in a stunning glass bottle.
Kibou is “the deliberately minimal diaper bag.” That’s right, this trendy fanny pack is actually a convenient diaper bag. It’s got a built-in waterproof pocket designed to hold 20-plus wet wipes, a fold-out and detachable changing pad, pockets for cash, credit cards and her phone, plus a key/pacifier hook and a comfy, ergonomic belt. Even if she doesn’t have a baby, this is still a pretty dope bag.
This buttery soft, lightweight maternity legging features four-way stretch, moisture-wicking properties and even UPF 50+ sun protection. Oh, and it’s made from recycled fish nets. She will most definitely be living in these.
