There's something surreal about watching your friends become mothers. It's not just my mom anymore—now, I have a mother-in-law I adore, a sister-in-law raising my two favorite little humans, and my childhood best friend who's about to have her first baby this year. Motherhood is everywhere in my life, so I think about it constantly, even though I'm not yet there myself.
This Mother's Day, I wanted to show up for all of them. As a fashion editor, my gifting style is pretty specific. I want gifts that feel thoughtful, stylish, and elevated—nothing that's generic or won't actually be used. That's why I landed on Fossil's watch collection. Timepieces hit differently as gifts—especially when they’re engraved (it’s complimentary, btw). They're accessories you can wear every day and pass down. Plus, Fossil doesn't do basic watches. Think beautiful chain-link bracelets, ultra-refined dials, and even a watch that doubles as a ring. A watch ring! If you're looking for the perfect gift for Mother's Day, you'll want to keep scrolling.
I'm a sucker for a mini watch. It's the kind of vintage-inspired style you spot on all the chicest fashion people, and it gives an outfit that certain je ne sais quoi.
Gorgeous.
I'm always drawn to a classic two-tone moment—it just feels so timeless. This sleek and sporty mini captures Fossil's polished, versatile vibe with a cool mix of silver and gold tones that go with literally everything.
Someone recently walked into the office with this on their finger, and I've been obsessed ever since. For the one who loves a little fashion moment, this watch ring is pure fun.
If your mom is always on the hunt for a statement piece that feels like a rare find, this is the watch she'll never take off. Harlow is a modern spin on an archival Fossil design.
If you're shopping for someone who nails that forever classic yet effortlessly cool style, this is the one: Best-selling Raquel. The architectural lines are everything. It’s sleek and confident, just like them.
I was once told by a friend that they never wear watches, but I think this one could change anyone's mind. It's like a chic gold bracelet that just happens to tell time. It's perfect.

I love the contrast of the gold with a mother-of-pearl accent.
