The Best Mother's Day Gifts, According to T&C Editors

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

Once a week, we ask our editors to share the items they've been loving or lusting after—whether it's a new skincare product we're dying to try or a travel essential we can't live without. Consider "The Weekly Covet" your editor-approved wish list for beauty, travel, fashion, and everything in between.

18K Yellow Gold Tendril Flame Earclips

"You might not be surprised to hear that we are a jewelry family. Ever since she watched Ryan Murphy’s Swans my mother has been subtly hinting that she might like a simple gold earring like the ones the Babe Paley character wore in the series. Those were Verdura so why not go straight to the source?" —Stellene Volandes, Editor in Chief

Secret Mosaic Leather Clutch Bag

"An understated Italian label for almost a century, Serapian bags put a premium on Milanese craftsmanship and exquisite materials. This one's also just a cute clutch for mom's big day." —Erik Maza, Executive Style Director

Metro Utility Tote

"I am a longtime fan of MZ Wallace bags, and that love honestly began when I stole one from my mom a decade ago. This Mother's Day I am definitely getting her a bag (or two)—their Mother's Day collection is just irresistible." —Emily Burack, Senior News Editor

Huile Prodigieuse Multi-Purpose Dry Oil

"My mom, who has the most amazing skin, has long sweared by Nuxe's Huile Prodigieuse, and she would always ask me to bring back bottles whenever I went to France. So imagine my joy in discovering that they're also sold on Amazon! It doesn't beat a trip to France, of course, but is a great backup plan." —Leena Kim, Editor

Rose de Mai Lip Balm

"My mom adores Chantecaille (and so do I). I can't think of anything simpler, more useful or more beautiful than this limited-edition Rose de Mai lip balm—accompanied by a bouquet of flowers, of course." —April Long, Beauty Director

Laser

"YMMV (Your Mom May Vary) but if you have a matriarch who appreciates a high tech beauty tool as much as mine, it's hard to go wrong with the Lyma laser—the first FDA-approved clinic-grade skin laser that targets all of the signs of aging (that mom definitely doesn't have, of course!) After all, she's worth a splurge." —Lauren Hubbard, Contributor

Dakota Marble Blue Statement Earrings

"I love that these angular hoops blend classic style (the timeless blue and white, almost evocative of chinoiserie) with modern energy (the triangular shape takes them to the next level) for a mother who's not just a mom, but the cool mom." —Lauren Hubbard, Contributor

Hair Pin - Gold 18k

"David Mallett is an eminence in the world of hair, so it was only a matter of time until he started making his own styling accessories. This hair pin, available in silver and 18k gold in two sizes, is a chic collaboration with the jewelry designer Suzanne Syz, and a beautiful gift for mom this Mother's Day." —Erik Maza, Executive Style Director

Anywhere Crisscross Buckle Slide Sandals

"I always get my mom something she'll use every day. These flat sandals she'll wear constantly in the warm Miami weather." —Dania Ortiz, Fashion & Accessories Director

Four Image “Luxe” Staggered Diamond Locket Necklace

"I don't live near my mom, so I'm getting her this locket from Monica Rich Kosann so she can keep me close to heart always." —Hannah Morrolf, Fashion Assistant

Bonnard's Worlds

"Recently, my mom and I took in the Bonnard's World show at the Phillips Collection in Washington, D.C. We both loved it, and if you can't make it to D.C. before the exhibition closes, the catalogue would make a pretty great gift on its own." —Adam Rathe, Deputy Features Director

Copper Plant Markers, Vertical

"My wife is growing dahlias from seed this year and I’m going to get her these to replace the Post-It notes that are currently marking what’s what." —Norman Vanamee, Articles Director

The Foolproof Salad Dressing Bundle

"For the mom who loves to cook, I can think of no better gift than a Brightland bundle. The oil and vinegars are top-notch and the bottles are countertop scene stealers (in the best possible way of course)." —Sophie Dweck, Associate Shopping Editor

Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club on Broadway

Shop Now

"Mom doesn't know this yet, but I'm taking her to see the critically acclaimed Broadway revival of Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club with Eddie Redmayne and Gayle Rankin as a belated Mother's Day/early birthday gift. For the mom who claims she already has everything she needs, tickets to a Broadway show might be the kindest of gift of all." —Sophie Dweck, Associate Shopping Editor

Set of Three Tapered Candles

"It doesn't get much more lovely than lily of the valley embossed tapered candles from Dior, now does it? Exactly. Elevated and elegant, it's a gift that is sure to delight."—Roxanne Adamiyatt, Deputy Digital Lifestyle Director

Crochet tote bag

"Summer is coming so why not give mom's warm weather wardrobe a boost with this editor-loved Prada tote? Functional and fabulous."—Roxanne Adamiyatt, Deputy Digital Lifestyle Director

Gisele Printed TENCEL™ Modal Long PJ Set

"My mom loves a good pajama. For Mother’s Day this year, I’ll be sending her a pair from Eberjey in a cute and classic blue and white stripe." —MaryKate Boylan, Senior Fashion Editor
