Goldbelly Mother’s Day Vintage Heart Cake ($130, Shop Now)
A good dessert or snack bundle can go a long way, and it’s made even better if you can split it with your mom in person. If you don’t have time to get it delivered or if you aren’t sure what types of treats she’ll crave, get her a convenient e-gift card.
Skincare, Haircare, & Makeup
Vamigas Boquita de Rosa Lip Mask ($28, Shop Now)
I vividly remember the first time I tried one of Vamigas’ lip products. I was at my desk when a colleague handed me one of the brand’s delicate, translucent Rosehip Lip Oils (which are sadly sold out at the moment), and I was instantly obsessed. If you cover beauty on a regular basis, you tend to test a lot of products, so it is particularly meaningful when you use the entire bottle, tube, or jar of anything—and, dear reader, I used every drop of that lip oil.
Curie Aluminum-Free Natural Deodorant in Coconut Nectar & Warm Vanilla ($14, Shop on Curie or Amazon)
With age, many women experience more sensitivity to their skin, making it even more important to go gentle with whatever products you gift to your beloved mama. Curie’s vegan, cruelty-free deodorant is free of aluminum and smells absolutely fantastic (no powdery florals here, folks), giving it a sophisticated, grown-up feel. It may seem a little odd to wrap this up as a gift, but most people appreciate practical (yet thoughtful!) gifts that they can use on a daily basis, and few things get quite as consistent usage as your favorite deo!
Kevyn Aucoin Beauty The Timeless Essentials Set ($149, Shop Now)
In the 13 years I’ve covered beauty, one of the most consistently excellent brands I’ve encountered is Kevyn Aucoin Beauty, the namesake brand of the late (and truly, truly great) legendary makeup artist Kevyn Aucoin. If your mamá loves makeup and you want to seriously treat her on Mother’s Day (or any other occasion, for that matter), nab her this all-around winning set, which includes the brand’s Contour Book Volume IV (an easy-to-use, travel-friendly palette for eyes and face), Glass Glow Face & Body Gloss in Prism Rose (an unbelievably dewy hydrating and highlighting formula), Volume Mascara (a long-lasting tubing formula), Eyelash Curler (a must-have tool for any makeup bag), and Glass Glow Lip in Prism Rose (a super-shiny lip gloss).
Dyson Supersonic Nural Hair Dryer ($499, Shop Now)
The Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer is famous for a reason. If your mom blows out her hair on a regular basis, this special-edition of everyone’s favorite heat-styling tool will make her life easier on a daily basis. Make the gift even prettier with a super-fun Supersonic color like this one, which is called Strawberry Bronze and comes with all the attachments she’ll need to get a salon-worthy look.
Makeup by Mario Master Mattes Palette: The Neutrals ($52, Shop Now)
So many palettes have three or four colors you actually use and another three, six, or even more shades that you never touch. This is not the case with Makeup by Mario’s masterfully assembled neutral edition of its famed Master Mattes Palette. I use every single shade in this palette, which features long-lasting and beautifully pigmented formulas—a great investment for any makeup bag.
Morphe x Ariel MakeupbyAriel Signature Look 12-Piece Brush Set ($98, Shop Now)
If your mom is still using the little sponge-tip applicators that come with her eyeshadow palettes or the teensy brushes included with her blush, it’s time to intervene. Treat her to a comprehensive pack of makeup brushes for all her base, eye, lip, and brow needs.
Fashion & Jewelry
Kotn Crew Socks ($12 or 5/$51, Shop Now)
The idea of opening socks on your birthday, at the holidays, or even on Mother’s Day is often mocked as a boring cliché. But when carefully chosen, this little accessory can be one of the most useful and thoughtful presents to receive. As the owner of many (at least 10, maybe 15) pairs of Kotn’s crew socks, I inevitably put this on my wishlist whenever a partner or family asks what I want for my birthday. Why? They’re squishy, comfortable, and every single pair, including some I’ve owned for four or more years, has held up perfectly despite how often I wear and wash them. Even the colors are pretty steadfast: while a few of my black pairs have faded a bit, the striped, solid color, and white iterations look exactly the same as the day I got them.
Bombas Women’s Sunday Slippers ($85, Shop Now)
There are many useful things you can buy for another person, but few will be as appreciated—and as frequently utilized—as some super-comfy slippers, like this fuzzy pair from Bombas, which comes in brown, taupe, pale purple, oatmeal, and taupe. (On a personal note, my partner’s mom gave me these for the holidays and, despite the fact that I wear them every single day in our home, they’re still in perfect condition.)
Fashion Brand Company Sterling Steel Enamel Paint Palette Earrings ($38, Shop Now)
For the artistic woman, this pair of cute and colorful paint palette earrings from Fashion Brand Company (the brilliant brainchild brand of designer Penelope Gazin) is a unique, thoughtful gift that shows you appreciate her creative side.
Laina Rauma Blanket Coat ($400, Shop Now)
If you haven’t tried a piece from former dancer Laina Rauma’s namesake brand, you’re missing out on the most striking balance of style and comfort on the market right now. This oversized, ultra-cozy blanket coat comes in five shades: Minky Smoke (light tan), Cocoa Fawn (neutral brown), Vanilla Milk (off white), Cool Steel (deep, dusty teal), and Rich Black (slightly weathered black).
Selkie Eden The Butterfly Botanic Big Blouse ($175, Shop Now)
Not only does Selkie offer inclusive sizing (XXS to 6X), the billowy nature of this gorgeous blouse makes it easier to guess what to buy for your mom, as it’ll be relatively forgiving even if you’re off by one or two sizes. This butterfly pattern feels perfect for spring, summer, and beyond, but if your mom’s wardrobe tends to be deeper or more solid-colored, Selkie’s Big Blouse design also comes in ivory and black, among other colors.
Paula Mendoza Over the Moon Earrings, Medium ($150, Shop Now)
This simple, elegant design from Paula Mendoza looks gorgeous on anyone’s ears, no matter your hairstyle or aesthetic. And there’s good news if she prefers cooler-toned jewelry: This pair, as well as many other Paula Mendoza designs, comes in both gold and silver.
Experiences & Travel
Away The Carry-On Suitcase ($275, Shop Now)
Whether your mom is a lifelong travel fan or a recent recruit to the frequent flier club, she’ll need a durable, high-quality suitcase to keep all her belongings safe, and Away’s famed hard-shell carry-on design is one of the brand’s most popular designs for a reason. Plus, it comes in a ton of colors, from the bold (bright tangerine, ruby red, translucent green) to the subtle (pearlescent white, milky gray, dusty navy).
Day at the Spa (price varies)
Who doesn’t love an ultra-relaxing day at the spa? Whether you live in the same area and can go together or you simply send her a redeemable card (or digital code) for a facility local to her, your mom will love this thoughtful, soothing gift. Tight on money at the moment? Spend the day with your mom painting her nails, styling her hair, and applying homemade face masks together.
Curated Movie Night
Make a movie playlist and pop some popcorn for the two of you—and any friends or family who care to join, of course. Pack the playlist with all of her favorite nostalgic hits, including some old faves that you two have previously enjoyed together.
Luxury Car Rental (price varies)
If your mom is auto-obsessed, there might be a certain make and model she’s always dreamed of driving. Fulfill her wishes by finding a local rental company and make her feel like a million bucks by taking a drive to a sunlit, gorgeous spot this Sunday.
Wellness
Millennial Lotería La Shiny ($20, Shop Now)
From the creative mind of Mike Alfaro comes an ultra-shiny edition of the famous Millennial Lotería deck. Designed to be played by up to 20 (!) people, this collection includes 56 iridescent cards, 20 game boards, 160 shimmery coins, and a cute enamel pin.
Malin+Goetz Otto Supercandle ($165, Shop Now)
I know, I know—a candle seems like a played-out gift that you fall back on when you aren’t sure what to get, but this Malin+Goetz candle has the name “super” in it for a reason. Its beautifully crafted scent features floral notes (peony, rose, geranium) layered with spice (black pepper, clove, cardamom) atop a bed of herbal, woody notes. In short: It is unlike any other candle and, thanks to its carefully thought-out design, slowly burns for a whopping 80 hours.
Kilian Good Girl Gone Bad Fragrance ($295, Shop Now)
With richly blended notes of orange blossom, osmanthus, and tuberose, this intoxicating scent will add a luxurious spritz to her day-to-day routine.
Homemade Card (cost of supplies)
One of my all-time favorite activities is making homemade greeting cards for people, especially on occasions like Mother’s Day. As someone who doesn’t have a lot of money to drop on gifts at the moment, I’ve found this card-making to be a wonderful way to share my love and appreciation with everyone in my life. Not sure where to start? YouTube, and nearly every other social media platform, has approximately a million tutorials. (Shayda Campbell and the Happy Ever Crafter are great places to start!)
Alcohol
Still not sure what to order? If your mom loves kicking back with a well-made cocktail, head to the store and pick her up a bottle of her favorite spirit, or you can even order it online. If you’re feeling extra creative, grab a few ingredients to make one of the below cocktail ideas for the two of you to share. Here are a few of the Latina staff’s favorites:
