Spring has a sneaky way of showing up when you least expect it, and honestly, in my opinion, so does Mother's Day. Last week, I was shocked to realize it's almost May, and Mother's Day is on Sunday, May 12, this year, which means time is running out to get your mom, partner, or even best mom friend a gift this year.
Another tough call? Figuring out which Mother's Day gift to get. After all, you want to get something that'll cater to her personal taste, while also keeping her up to speed on all the latest interior design trends and collaborations that have piqued the H&G staff's interest this year.
For instance, some moms are all about that plant life, while others enjoy hosting and would benefit from some pretty picnic essentials as the days get warmer. Others still want to cozy up and read with a good throw blanket and book, and personally, my mom wants to add some new fragrances to her home with a set of candles. Essentially, we're all spoiled for choice when it comes to choosing the best gift for our moms this Mother's Day, which is why I did all of the heavy work for you.
This past weekend, I looked through every home retailer I love to find gifts for every type of mom, from the luxe to the simple, and the minimal to the eclectic. I found mirrors, plants, throws, trinket dishes, and even some fun summer table decor ideas that you can choose from in order to find the absolute best gift for your mom this Mother's Day, so all you have to do is add to cart.
The new Aerin collection for Williams Sonoma is full of gorgeous pieces just made for hosting, so you should do yourself a favor and get your mom this set of placemats if she’s planning to throw any parties this summer. Scalloped edging and fresh, sunny hues make these cotton placemats an ideal option for summer entertaining.
Paying a nod to traditional Turkish kiln designs, this handwoven rug has a weathered look and tonal style in a pale blue and cream hue.
If your mom loves plants but hates the maintenance, purchase this lifelike artificial trailing plant for extra oomph. Designed in partnership with Studio McGee for Target, it even features extra moss to make it look more real.
Made in Italy from lightweight linen, this throw has a reversible striped design finished with swishy fringing along the edges, and the neutral hues allow it to fit into any design scheme.
For the perfect spring tablecloth, look no further: The shimmery gold palm tree pattern allows for a luxe feel at a budget price in this cotton-satin number from H&M Home.
This colorful table lamp, complete with a patterned shade and sculptural base, lends playful appeal to mom’s interiors, and is available in two bright summer hues.
Everyone needs a good floor mirror, and this full-length option comes complete with a powder brass frame in a clean silhouette for added interest.
If your mom’s a fragrance person, this is the scented candle to buy: The signature Santal scent by Le Labo is a bestseller for a reason, and is the perfect mix of spicy, smokey, and fresh.
The Billy Cotton collection with West Elm is sleek and modern with a twist, as exemplified by these ceramic shell bowls: They’re whimsical and fun, taking inspiration from oyster shells, and work perfectly to store little trinkets like keys and earrings.
Get mom in on the Bookshelf Wealth trend with this sculptural set of marble bookends, complete with spheres on either end for a luxe look.
This woven square basket is both parts feminine and elegant, with a scalloped edge and light brown finish, so you can display it with pride.
Toile decor is trending, and it’s easy to see why: This gorgeous ruffled pillow features a toile floral motif for a sweet touch, and the pastel shades are perfect for mom.
No matter whether you’re celebrating one mom or several generations of them, this curated list of gift ideas should help make your search for the perfect Mother’s Day gift just a little easier. From plant and bedding ideas to small home decor touches that can elevate a home with ease, these gifts are just the thing to bring a smile to your mom’s face this Mother’s Day.
