As the mom of a 3-year-old (and I'm currently very pregnant with my second), I have a newfound appreciation for Mother's Day. I can't believe I ever thought it was okay to give my mom nothing more than a card and a candle that she definitely didn't need on Mother's Day. But now that the tables have turned, you can rest assured that I have learned my lesson.
This year, I want to give my mom something thoughtful and chic—an item I know she'll wear on repeat year after year. My co-workers and fashion friends are all turning to Macy's for gifts this Mother's Day, and I'm following suit. They've all found useful, sentimental, and thoughtful gifts that their moms will love. See their picks here.
"I love introducing my mom to some of my personal favorite brands—starting with Oma the Label's jewelry."
"Is there anything more indulgent than a plush robe? I don't think so."
"A heritage brand like Coach will never go out of style."
"Comfier than sneakers but more elevated than traditional slippers."
"My mom is never without a hand cream (or five), and it doesn't get any better than Chanel."
"These are a splurge, but just think about how chic she'll look. (And yes, it's an excuse to steal them when she's not looking.)"
"This is a timeless piece that she'll turn to year after year."
"If your mom is obsessed with shoes like mine is, she'll love these."
"And these."
"Skincare is always a good idea."
"Pro tip: Find a super-stylish gift (like this bag) that you will also have access to."
"When your mom can't make it to her facial, this at-home device that uses micro-current technology will hold her over until her next visit. Micro-current units stimulate muscles and tighten skin, giving your brows, eyes, jawline, cheeks, and neck a lifted effect—what's not to love?"
"I'm into the idea of upgrading my mom's slippers with an open-toe pair for the warmer months."
"Getting these sunnies for your mom is a surefire way to solidify your position as the favorite child."
"A timeless scent (for the home) for a timeless woman."
"She'll adore this classic cable-knit polo sweater."
"My mom always loves receiving pretty lipsticks. This one is hydrating and comes in three gorgeous hues."
"This modern pearl necklace is timeless yet stylish and is perfect for any mom whether she's in her 30s or 70s."
"A robe worth showing off."
"Sheseido's sheet masks are amazing and perfect for a mother-daughter spa day at home."
"I love the simplicity and elegance of this bag—it's so timeless, just like my mother's style."
"This is a must-have flat sandal for everyone this year, whether it's a gift for your mom or it's going on your wish list."
"I think every mother appreciates a new scent and gorgeous bottle to put on her vanity. This is a perfume I personally wear and love. It's warm with a hint of vanilla and feels like home the more you wear it."
"I love how this new design from Coach is a playful spin on the classic belt bag. It's chic and totally practical."
"Every mom deserves a self-care moment, and having a really beautiful yoga set at home makes that time to check in with yourself feel easy and accessible."
