Motherhood may be rewarding, but it sure isn’t glamorous. Of course, I don’t have firsthand experience of exactly how unglamorous being a mom can be. But let’s just say that as a child (and admittedly as an adult, too), my cringe-worthy shenanigans have caused my mother plenty of embarrassment, exhaustion and general anxiety.
When it comes to choosing a gift for Mother’s Day—which is still this Sunday, in case it’s slipped your mind since my last post—why not give your mom something a little glam? While spa days, pedicures and the like are often sweet treats for an overworked mommy dearest, I’ve put together a list of luxe Mother’s Day presents that your mother may not always buy for herself. After all, every woman deserves to feel gorgeous—even while doing the laundry, burping babies and keeping the whole family in line.
Today’s guide features the little indulgences that make the more stressful days of motherhood a bit more special. And, mom or not, there is no better way to transport from blah to fabulous than with a genius beauty product or a stylish new wardrobe addition.
When wrestling a packed schedule, a shiny calfskin organizer makes the most mundane calendar-keeping feel chic. With a buttery, suede-like bag on her arm or a colorful scarf around her neck, mom’s errands are a smidge less tortuous. And a spritz of her signature scent or a swipe of luminizing powder on her cheeks? Amazingly transformative.
Without further ado (you don’t have much time to put in your order!), your posh Mother’s Day shopping list:
- Jane Street Large Debra Organizer, Kate Spade (katespade.com).
- African Cotton Scarf, Banana Republic (bananarepublic.com).
- Flowerbomb Perfume, Viktor & Rolf.
