For the Romantic Mom: Sentimental, Scented, and Silk-Wrapped
Reimagine Flowers - a gift for Mother's day
Flowers, the most basic of basic gifts for Mother’s Day. They’re safe. They’re pretty. They die in two days. So why not switch it up? Go for mothers day flowers that lasts:
Dried Flower Bouquets from For Love at Pampas because nothing says "I love you" like flowers that won’t rot in front of her.
Candles, But Make It Royal
Trudon candles are not your average wax blobs. These are the haute couture of scents—historic, gorgeously packaged, and perfect for moms who deserve their space to smell like Versailles.
Wrap Her in Silk and Glory
If you want a gasp-level gift: Fe Noel robes. Think: vibrant, luxurious, and glam as hell. She’ll feel like she’s in an editorial shoot every time she drinks her morning tea.

For the Renegade Mom: Chic, Edgy, and Unbothered Mother's Day Gift Guide
These are the moms who scoff at brunch plans and own more leather than cookware. They’re cool without trying, and your gifts better reflect that.
Maison Margiela Mini Bags – Skip the weak-sauce perfumes and go for one of their sculptural, edgy bags.
Schiaparelli Jewelry – Surreal, artistic, and historical. A flex and a statement piece. The eponymous designer was friends with surrealists like Dali and unlike her nemesis Chanel, she didn’t dabble with fascists (ahem cough, cough).
Jacques Marie Mage Sunglasses – These limited-edition stunners say "fashion insider" without needing to brag.

For the Gourmand Mami: Hosting Goals, Kitchen Goddess
If your mom’s happy place is between a Le Creuset and a Michelin star, lean in.
Hermès Tableware – For the hostess who thinks paper plates are a hate crime.
Thomas Keller x Hestan Cookware – Sleek, pro-level pots and pans for culinary legends in the making.
CornuFé Range by La Cornue – Go big or go home. This is for the real kitchen queens.

For the Traditionalist Mummy: Classic, Elegant, Timeless
If your mom thinks TikTok is a type of watch, she might be a Traditionalist—and that’s a beautiful thing.
Perfume with Personality
Xerjoff Torino21 – Bold, niche, unforgettable. I personally spray Xerjoff Torino21 whenever I want to feel bold and fresh.
Creed Eladia – Regal and refined, with staying power your average perfume can’t touch.
Jewelry That Will Make Her Cry (in a Good Way)
Boucheron Serpent Bohème or Quatre Bracelet – Timeless elegance with just enough sparkle.
Graff Tri-Gold Rings – Luxurious, mix-and-match friendly, and totally swoon-worthy.
