The Luxury List: 25 Perfectly Elegant Gifts Any Mother Will Love
The Luxury List is a monthly column on all things luxury, tapping the foremost experts in the fashion space to explore everything from craftsmanship deep dives to the little-known details to consider when buying fine jewelry.
My mom is one of the most important people in my life. When I was growing up, she always provided my sister and me with the most incredible life experiences, as well as her time, care, and attention. Seeing her now as a grandmother to my two nieces, I have even more respect and appreciation for the incredible caregiver and person she is, and I hope to honor that in every possible way—whether that is with a phone call or a special gift for Mother's Day.
This Mother's Day, I have been considering which beautiful pieces would be perfect to wrap up for my mom and all of the other incredible moms out there. I have some front-runners on my short list that I think are exactly the right finds. Some standouts include a pair of luxurious suede slippers to wear at home, future heirloom jewelry, a beautiful handbag, or a travel piece for a future vacation together. Ahead, see the best luxury Mother's Day gifts to shop this year.
