BY EMILY ROSE PATZ

Your mom’s like no other, so this year, choose a gift inspired by her interests—especially the ones you’ve been lucky enough to inherit.

May 1, 2024

She’s your first and forever influencer, the top spot-on recent calls, and the loyal best friend who’s been with you through it all. Your mom is more than deserving of a special day, so go big this year with fitting gifts she’ll treasure well beyond Mother’s Day brunch.

To inspire your search, we’ve rounded up sparkling surprises, luxe essentials, and creative pairings that celebrate who she is—from flight-ready picks for the international explorer to chic pieces for the style maven who inspires your own closet. And best of all, they’re fresh in stock and ready to wrap at South Coast Plaza.

THE MOTHER’S DAY EDIT

Saint Laurent

For the Mom Who’s Always In Airplane Mode

If your love of adventure began with far-flung family trips, pay homage to those beloved memories with a gift that will follow your mom on her next dreamy getaway.

Roger Vivier’s crystal-buckle sneakers steal the show for stylish strolls that don’t require a mid-day shoe swap. And since every mom’s a fan of the bottomless bag, Saint Laurent’s quilted lambskin shopping tote is a posh upgrade to carry her travel must-haves. Pair these wow-worthy pieces with a mini travel companion she’ll appreciate like Balmain’s high-drama shades, Valentino’s quick-fix hair clip, or a versatile, laidback cap from Hermès.

Tory Burch

For the Mom In Touch With Mind, Body, and Spirit

Treat your favorite wellness guru to a luxurious dose of self-care. Whether your mom’s serving on the court, hitting the gym, or reflecting in meditation, these gifts are sure to elevate the best moments of her day.

Bring color to her game with Tory Burch’s punchy pickleball set, refresh her workout wardrobe with TYR’s sporty separates, or give her a stylish reminder to stay hydrated with Stanley’s buzzy Quencher tumbler from Williams Sonoma. For a more indulgent gift, look to L’Occitane En Provence’s Brightness of Neroli bath essentials and the invigorating woodsy notes of Byredo’s Mojave Ghost perfume.

Williams Sonoma

For the Mom Who Makes Home the Sweetest Place to Be

She glows at the helm of Sunday dinners, holiday soirees, and patio pop-ins with impromptu cheese plates. Honor the most gracious host you know with these beautiful additions to your family’s favorite gathering space.

Add a new star to her throw pillow collection with the eye-catching Avalon Piano pillow from Hermès or liven her table for every meal with Baccarat’s beautiful light-catching crystal tumblers. If her coffee maker could use an upgrade, Breville’s Barista Express Espresso Machine from Sur la Table will feel like a gift for you, too, whenever you stop in for a visit.

Hermès

For the Mom Who’s Forever Beach Bound

Give your mom some new reasons to call the beach her happy place with resort-ready accessories and colorful styles fit for a seaside escape.

Team the glamorous West Village shades from Michael Kors Collection with a vibrant Hermès triangle scarf for an extra dose of shade with maximum style. Or book an oceanfront chef’s tasting experience and dress her for the occasion with Camilla’s breezy silk kimono sleeve maxi in a head-turning coral print. And since summer calls for fresh and easy footwear, you can tuck Dolce&Gabbana’s painterly floral sides into the twinning raffia shopper for the perfect finishing touch.

Balmain

For The Mom Who Sets The Bar on Style

Chances are, your mom is the original style icon. If you’re still sneaking pieces from her spectacular closet, shop these runway favorites to complement her forever best-dressed status.

With its gleaming rose buttons and radiant green hue, Balmain’s show-stopping double-breasted jacket carries the confidence she lovingly passed down to you. If you’re searching for the metallic trend your mom loves to sport, look to Balenciaga’s glitzy Le City bag to meet the moment. Saint Laurent’s cropped bomber jacket brings edgy appeal to any look, so consider adding a satin-black eyeliner or pop-of-color lipstick so she can fully embrace it.

Graff

For the Mom Who Dazzles Wherever She Goes

She runs the show with endless love, statement-making style, and superhuman attention to every last detail. And just like any queen, your mom never shies away from the opportunity to sparkle—especially when it comes to jewelry.

Harry Winston delivers spring’s favorite flowers in brilliant diamonds and twinkling pink sapphires, while Cartier’s shimmering Trinity ring makes a stunning and sweetly symbolic gift for a mother of three. For the mom who’s always on the go, the season’s swoon-worthy timepieces are as functional as they are chic. From Breitling’s blue-hued Super Chronomat Automatic 38 to Fendi’s ultra-modern O’Lock Vertical watch with a triple wrap strap, you’re bound to find one that suits her standout style.

Gucci

For a Little Something That Lasts

Your mom breaks all the molds, so there’s no need to stick to the traditional. Swap the go-to bouquet for of-the-moment bags, luxe leather goods, and showstopping shades she’ll love showing friends, family, and colleagues after her big day.

Bring a welcome splash of color to her summer handbag lineup with Tory Burch’s Kira Bag in sunny pear green, or delight her with a fresh take on the styles she’s loved for decades with Fendi’s Peekaboo ISeeU in pretty powder blue and a pair of bold oval sunglasses from COS with a timeless retro look.
