How often have we heard “you don’t have to get me anything?” But doesn’t mom deserve it all? We certainly think so, and this year we’re thinking ahead with a thoughtful edit of gifts that mom will cherish for years to come.
For the ever-stylish mom with a closet full of couture, we’ve curated options she’ll reach for time and time again, like a peplum corduroy-trimmed leather jacket from Alexander McQueen, a Dsquared2 caftan that doubles as a beach coverup, or the new Chanel 25 handbag nobody else will have. Or, if jewelry is what she loves, we can nearly guarantee Bulgari’s two-toned Serpenti Tubogas watch has been on her list. (Otherwise, a rubellite-and-diamond ring or two from Italian fine jeweler Pomellato will do.) Meanwhile, for the mom whose coffee table is stacked with interior design books, we’ve curated a mix of heirloom-level homewares and self-care must-haves for a day for herself.
And, for those looking to give mom an experience on Mother’s Day weekend, head to Bal Harbour Shops where many of our stores are hosting special moments just for mom: Ferragamo is welcoming customers May 10-11 with custom holiday-themed cards and a floral giveaway, while Diptyque is offering seasonal floral bouquets and complimentary scented gifts with purchases ($250 or more) on May 10.
No matter if she’s the woman who gave you life or an inspirational maternal figure who guided you along the way, these sentimental gifts from Bal Harbour Shops are sure to show your appreciation.
Serious Style
Does the Vogue Runway app account for most of her weekly screen time? Would she never leave the house without dressing to the nines? Is she known to carry everything but the kitchen sink in her purse? Consider upgrading her to YSL’s large Jamie bag, which boasts plenty of room for her phone, wallet, snacks—and a new pair of Audrey Hepburn-inspired sunglasses from Morgenthal Frederics. Other crowd-pleasers included Loewe’s new ballet sneakers, Dsquared’s flowy beach dress, or a fresh new pair of compression leggings from Wolford, which are comfortable enough for workouts and rest days.
Timeless Treasure
But what do you get for the mom who wants for nothing? Something she doesn’t even know she wants yet, of course. If Mom’s love language can be boiled down to “something sparkly,” David Yurman’s show-stopping Diamant Sculptural Necklace is guaranteed to send her heart aflutter. Or, for the mom with more subdued taste, the classic Serpenti watch from Bulgari might be just the thing. No matter what you choose, pair it with a hand-written note and it’ll be the frontrunner for gift of the year.
Creature Comforts
If Mom prefers an afternoon spent gazing out the bay window with a good book and a face mask to a fancy spa day, this one’s for you. For the ultimate host-come-homebody, consider making her home even more of a sanctuary with a cult-favorite diffuser, like this one from Diptyque—or, for the ultimate luxury, let her kick her feet up in Haremlique Istanbul’s Turkish cotton bathrobe to enjoy a homemade meal. And because those fresh-cut flowers could use a new home in the form of a sculptural vase, we found two that’ll garner all the oohs and ahhs from all who enter. (As a general rule, anything that makes her day more relaxing—or more aesthetic—is a surefire win.)
