If you are looking for some inspo when it comes to Mother’s Day gifting, these Page Six staffer-approved picks are just the thing to brighten her day.
From New York City’s best mini cupcakes to custom handbags, scroll on to see what our editors are gifting our moms, dog moms, aunts and more this year.
“Spanx is my go-to for Mother’s Day gifts. I’ve purchased several different loungewear styles for my mom over the years, and she’s truly loved them all. They’re so buttery soft — and thanks to the extensive color options, I can keep adding to her collection for a long time to come.” — Hannah Southwick, Associate Shopping Editor
“I have purchased Baked by Melissa cupcakes for my favorite aunt!” — Georgie Olmeda, Commerce Partnerships Manager(Note: Baked by Melissa ships nationwide and offers vegan, gluten-free, and more options.)
“What mom would be mad about receiving a beautiful bouquet on Mother’s Day? I tend to alternate between options from The Bouqs and UrbanStems when sending flowers to loved ones, and am eyeing this arrangement of orchids from the latter for my mom this year. If your mother figure has furry friends, just make sure whichever bouquet you choose is pet-friendly before ordering, as certain blooms can be harmful for animals.” — Elana Fishman, Style & Shopping Director
“I love introducing my mom to some of my favorite beauty buys. Last year I gifted her several Merit products, and this time around I’m eyeing (no pun intended) my favorite mascara. While I’ve tried several formulas at a wide range of price points, no one’s doing it quite like YSL. Plus, the luxury packaging makes for a cute gift.” — Hannah Southwick, Associate Shopping Editor
“I couldn’t think of a better Mother’s Day gift for my mom if I tried! We love a good canvas tote, but they quickly get dirty as you continue to use them. The best part about this one? It’s a stunning navy color that can be dressed up or down, AND it’s less likely to age quickly and show dirtiness. I love the size of this one too — it fits plenty and isn’t too bulky!” — Kelly Laske, Senior Social Media Editor
“As a new mom myself, I’m obsessing over all the new jewelry opportunities in front of me for my first Mother’s Day. I’ve been wanting a pinky ring for a while, and this one from Catbird is so dainty and perfect for everyday wear (plus, it comes with free engraving!)” — Melissa Minton, Senior Style Editor
“Moms certainly deserve some unparalleled comfort, and not a mother on earth won’t love an ultra-soft lounge/PJ set from this editor-approved brand. This summer-weight set has perfect reviews and is even on sale right now. ” — Erica Radol, Commerce Reporter
“My mom just got a puppy, Reggie, whose cuteness defies logic. They are, of course, thick as thieves, and I basically have a new baby brother now. This year for Mother’s Day, I’d love to get my mom a Staud bag with Reggie painted onto it. I love how Staud offers this special artistic service; it’s such a thoughtful way to celebrate a pet. They can paint one or two pets onto various products, and in other cases, the images of the pets are embroidered directly.” — Jackie Goldstein, VP of Commerce
“Earrings are always the right size — and Jenny Bird’s options are so great because the mixed metal style matches both gold and silver. Any mom will love!” — Erica Radol, Commerce Reporter
“I’m obsessed with the light and clean way this smells, and I think my mom will be too. I’ve also used the solid fragrance, and the staying power when it’s layered with the spray is wonderful.” — Jacquelyn Kozak, Senior Photo Editor
“As we head into summer, I think this breezy Hunter Bell Hudson shirt is the perfect Mother’s Day gift. It’s the perfect colors for a Memorial Day Weekend celebration and can be worn in so many different ways, whether it’s over a bathing suit, to a summer picnic, or over a cute dress during a breezy summer night. I just know this shirt will be worth it to gift because of its versatility and timelessness.” — Kelly Laske, Senior Social Media Editor
“Much like my mom, this swimsuit is the ultimate multi-tasker. While it looks like a chic designer cardigan, it does double duty as swimwear.” — Hannah Southwick, Associate Shopping Editor
“I bought a Build-a-Bear Kitty with a baby kitty for my mom, who loves stuffed animals and misses us when we’re away. That way she can snuggle the heck out of it and be reminded of us.” — Georgie Olmeda, Commerce Partnerships Manager
