If your mom is into style

Lunya Washable Silk Button Down Pant Set — $278.00

This silk set can be thrown into the washing machine after wearing it. While that perk in and of itself is worthy of an ‘Add To Cart’, we’d like to add that Lunya silk is truly some of the softest and most wearable that we’ve tried.

Aviator Nation Hi-Rise Denim Shorts — $250.00

Finally: A ‘mom short’ that’s anything butt. (!) This brand new line of Italian denim shorts from cool girl fave Aviator Nation is handmade in Los Angeles. Think of these cute cutoffs as the perfect warm weather bridge between jeans and sweats. (Seriously, they’re that soft.)

Left on Friday Sports and Rec Sweatshirt — $120.00

This airy sweater with cropped sleeves is the answer to the question: What should I wear today? Because whether you’re on working up a sweat, whether you’re running errands, whether you’re sitting on the couch, whether you’re going out with the family to the park, or whether you’re doing literally anything else, there is nothing more comfortable and cute that Left on Friday’s do-it-all throw on. Plus, it comes in a rainbow of hues.

AO Eyewear The Whitney Sunglasses — $200.00

AO’s Whitney glasses have a chic soft-but-angular shape that looks flattering on every sun-soaked face. The most important part? The Whitney’s AOLite nylon lenses, which feature 100 percent UVA/UVB protection.

Vuori Sedona V-Neck — $98.00

We considered gatekeeping this one, but it’s too good not to share. Run—or power walk, skip, sprint, drive, galavant, and otherwise frickin’ race—to snag your mom a Sedona V-Neck before the rest of the universe discovers this utterly perfect chic-and-cozy French terry sweatshirt. Better yet, buy two…or seven.

Municipal Staple Legging — $88.00

These mid-rise leggings are all about the extra: Extra comfort, extra strength, and extra stylish for creating those do-it-all outfits mother dearest loves to live in. Functionality is the name of the game when it comes to Municipal’s gear: from the elastic-free waistband that’s smooth rather than constrictive to the soft knit fabric that gives super opaque coverage.

Boohoo Pantone Boxer-Jogger Shorts — $22.00

Your mom will love snuggling up in anything from this limited edition Mental Health Awareness Month-themed line from Boohoo in collaboration with Pantone: The collection collection combines vibrant, mood enhancing colors with purposeful product design.

If your mom is into beauty

Dr. Loretta Concentrated Firming Serum — $80.00

Dr. Loretta’s seriously potent skin care is one of the best buys you can make. We like this concentrated firming serum because it has derm-approved retinol in it, which can help with cell turn over, brighten skin, and turn on the collagen pumps so that your complexion feels plumper.

Away Large Toiletry Bag — $75.00

Maybe your mom is about to butterfly out of her cozy home cocoon (we get it) and the only thing holding her back is her ratty old makeup bag. Don’t hold her back, buy her this handsome kit from Away.

Esker Body Plane — $45.00

If your mom makes you watch pimple popping videos and is into that whole oddly satisfying subsect of beauty, this skin planing tool removes dead skin cells post-shower and leaves you with the evidence of it (dead skin literally piles up + super soft skin).

True story: I went home and brought this room spray because I have a puppy who sometimes smells like…a puppy. My mom liked it so much she stole it from me, so Happy Mother’s Day in advance, mom!

Click & Grow The Smart Garden — $140.00

Moms are always seemingly out of herbs (if my last-minute trips to the shopping market have taught me anything) so why not save yourself the gas money and go ahead and buy mom this countertop basil kit.

Vitruvi Stone Diffuser — $123.00

Stone diffusers that are this beautiful should be given as regular gifts, IMO. This Vitruvi pick comes in many different colors and there are now even cordless options, so give it some serious consideration in your shopping this year.

Diptyque City Candles — $76.00

Diptyque’s City candle collection is a thoughtful way to transport your mother to her favorite place, wherever that may be (…Paris?). This New York option smells of a generous medley of cedar wood, patchouli, and vetiver, which is much better than what New York actually smells like.

The natural fine cotton yarn they’re made from is as cozy and breathable as it is excellent at absorbing sweat that could cause mid-stretch slipping.
