Whether it’s giving your own Mum a gift or being showered with gifts yourself because you’re a Mum, Mother’s Day gifts run the gamut. Everything from brunch, lunch and dinner out, to spa treatments, books, flowers and weekends away. Of course, there’s also the option of treating Mum, and that includes YOU if you’re a Mum, to a gift of style.
Here are items across an assortment of price points that could make fun and practical gifts for Mum:
- Joie Day Dreaming Light Gold Slipper Flats: Trendy, beautifully made, soft leather, ageless and versatile. They are very flat, but they work well with orthotic inserts and cushioning insoles. Mum might need to size down half a size.
- Bella Vita Wow Pump: The pump has a two inch heel (the information on the site is incorrect). It’s on trend, comfortable, elegant and comes in several colours and patterns. AND it comes in wide widths. I couldn’t be happier with my white pair.
- Book: Summer at Tiffany: Two friends become the first ever women to work on the sales floor of the legendary Tiffany & Co. A delightful story about fashion, friendship and love.
- Book: Women from the Ankle Down: This book is for shoe lovers. It tells the story of 20th century American footwear through the eras’ most iconic shoes.
- Casual Studio Pleat Front Blouse: An easy pull-on-and-go over a white cami and jeans.
- Movie: Funny Face: Audrey Hepburn wears the most famous pair of black cropped pants of all time in this movie. It’s a must-see for iconic fashion and fabulous dance routines.
- Documentary: Bill Cunningham New York: This incomparable man on his bike has been snapping photos of interesting street style for many decades and continues to do so well into his eighties. It’s the most moving fashion documentary I have ever seen.
- Kate Spade Larabee Dot Ring Holder: An easy, attractive and visible storage idea for rings.
- Natori Shangri-La Robe: Fabulous robes are hard to find, but this one is great. It’s pretty, lightweight and comes in many colors. Read the rave reviews. Also available in plus.
- Zella Supersoft Hoodie: An excellent item for a lounging or workout capsule. Its shaped fit is flattering.
- Nordstrom Waffle Cotton Robe: Here’s a shorter and more structured robe in a stiffer waffle knit. Fresh for Summer.
- Elliott Lucca Intreccio Leather Tote: It’s like a work of art. Casual, chic and playful.
- Michael Kors Bracelet Chronograph 38mm Watch: A mixed metal time piece that double duties as a bracelet. Here it is in plain gold.
- Michael Kors MK5680 Emma Multifunction Glitz Watch: Here’s a silver one with a little more glitz and square face.
- Rebecca Minkoff ‘M.A.B.’ Leather Tote: A quality bag with a high longevity quotient. Simple, practical and modern.
- Natasha Couture Dotty Cuff: An architectural piece of arm candy with a sense of humour.
- Charles Albert Musical Bubble Pendant Necklace: A cheerful round pendant that jingles on a delicate chain as you stride. Mum can wear this type of necklace with just about any outfit.
- Fina Firenze Floral Foiled Denim Belt: The silver option is great with a blush and white ensemble. Soft, pretty and on trend.
- Michael Kors Eyelet Cotton Tunic (Plus): So modernly bohemian it’s almost graphic. Feminine and breezy. Fab over a pair of bermuda shorts, pencil skirt or jeans.
- Foley & Corinna FC Wallet: Particularly fab in the iridescent. It virtually functions as a mini clutch.
- Kate Spade Millionaire iPad Sleeve: Just for fun!
If my Mum were still with us today, she’d most appreciate receiving something pretty for her wardrobe as well as time with her family on Mother’s Day. So it would probably be a blouse or pullover of sorts, accompanied by a bunch of pink flowers, and lunch out somewhere dressy. Then back home by mid-afternoon so that she could spend the rest of the day relaxing with the dogs.
What do you get your Mum for Mother’s Day? And if you’re a Mum, do you have any requests for your special day?
