"There's no doubt motherhood depicts the more practical side of life (baby spit-up, diaper changes—the list goes on), so when I want to feel polished and put-together (even when I don't always feel it), a chic handbag is my answer. This sophisticated top-handle handbag would do the trick. The bamboo handle gives it a unique and trend-forward touch, and the silhouette is sophisticated and versatile enough to wear day or night. It would elevate even the most basic of outfits in an instant." — Judith Jones, Senior Market Fashion Editor
"I will admit I am the ultimate bag lady. I carry a lot in my handbag at any given moment, so a chic tote bag is never a bad gift. This one looks luxurious and sleek and is big enough to fit my work stuff, kids' gadgets, snacks, and basically my life! I love the versatile taupe hue." — Jones
"I have a soft spot for pearl jewelry, and these pretty hoops would be a welcome addition to my collection. They're subtle and sophisticated and would make the perfect everyday earrings." — Jones
"My current cosmetic bag has seen its day, and I wouldn't say no to an elegant and luxe-looking upgrade such as this sleek and minimalist dome silhouette. This is exactly what I need to carry my beauty essentials in style." — Jones
"Just looking at these sparkly, colorful studs immediately puts me in a joyful mood, and if that's not reason enough to buy them, I don't know what is!" — Jones
"As a mother, you need a big bag. In the beginning, I bought the diaper bag, the diaper backpack, and then the 'chic' diaper backpack, but I just hated how I had to sacrifice my bag aesthetic every time I left the house with Mabel in tow. Eventually, I ditched all the diaper bags and just invested in roomy bags like this one." — Sharon Yi, SVP Brand Solutions
"In the early years, there's a lot of stuff to carry around every time you leave the house: diaper kits, snacks, baby bottles, bibs, toddler-sized utensils, etc. When you can barely carry the baby's things, it's nice to keep the parents' stuff minimal. I loved replacing my heavy, overstuffed wallet with a thin card holder, and I've never looked back." — Yi
"I was never into monogrammed accessories before, but now I can't wait to stamp my daughter's initial on everything. There's something about her initials hanging on my wrist or neck that makes her feel close." — Yi
"Silk scarves are my new favorite thing. Tie it around your neck on a windy spring day, wrap it around your third-day hair, or use it as a scarf for your baby. Mabel loves them as much as I do." — Yi
"Sometimes, less is more. Just need your phone, keys, and a card holder? Buckle one of these on and go!" — Yi
"I have a weakness for minimalistic, '90s-inspired bags, and lately, white options have all my attention. This one is big enough for my everyday essentials with room for snacks for my kids and the random small toys I always seem to find myself with." — Camp Forbes
"Timeless jewelry is always a welcome gift, especially if it looks luxe. I can see myself living in these pretty lil' hoops." — Jennifer Camp Forbes, Shopping Editor
"Personalized necklaces are a forever favorite. While in the past I donned my initials, these days, an initialed pendant serves as a lovely reminder of my two cuties." — Camp Forbes
"I love to collect beautiful scarves that can double as art. I often end up framing my favorites, and this vibrant floral print would definitely be a contender." — Camp Forbes
"I keep my phone on me at all times. Beyond emails and calls, I don't want to miss capturing any precious or silly moments with my kids. This chic case is guaranteed to come in handy for quick errands and playground visits." — Camp Forbes
"Every mom probably needs a new laptop bag. I love this one because it's soft and the wide straps make it comfy. I would use it as a work bag during the week and switch it out for a diaper bag and shopping tote on the weekend." — Rachel Zeilic, VP of Influencer Marketing
"I've been looking for a storage solution for my jewelry—somewhere that allows me to easily tuck it away from curious little hands. This one is so cute!" — Zeilic
"I love jewelry as a gift because it can remind you of a special time or person and make you feel warmth when you look at it. This is the perfect classic layering piece. I would wear it every day and think of my kids." — Zeilic
"Another classic piece of jewelry that you can't get wrong. I would stack this with my watch and other bracelets." — Zeilic
"This is the most practical gift you could give a mom who's busy running around after little kids. She'll thank you later." — Zeilic
