“Vintage silk scarves are the gift that never fails to disappoint. Plus you can show her our guide on 15 ways to wear it.” — Kat Collings, editor in chief
“As my mom is the quintessential ‘person who has everything,’ I always try to go for something she wouldn’t normally buy herself or come across. This picture-perfect room spray is the perfect example. Plus, you can’t go wrong with anything from The Line.” —Nicole Akhtarzad, market editor
“I think these are the perfect shoes to pair with everything from jeans to summer dresses, and I think my mom would love them as much as I do.” — Kristen Nichols, associate editor
“My dad may have mentioned that he’s noticed my mom wearing several of his Everlane T-shirts lately, so I’m going to surprise her with a set of her own tees this Mother’s Day.” — Michelle Scanga, managing editor
“My mom seems to be on a never-ending hunt for the perfect bag each season. I’ve decided to just decide for her this time and give her this chic little straw tote.” — Allyson Payer, editor
“I’ll be giving my mom a pair of statement earrings. I love this pair from Gorjana, as they are versatile enough to wear day-to-day, but they can also easily be dressed up. She loves getting jewelry since it’s not typically something she buys herself, so I’m hoping she’ll like these!” — Lauren Eggertsen, associate editor
“Since my mom is constantly doing things for everyone else in the family, I’d love to celebrate Mother’s Day together with a short getaway where she can completely unwind and recharge. She’s also a yoga teacher, so a weekend filled with nature, meditation, and tree posing is right up her alley.” — Gina Marinelli, senior news editor
“We’re going to a family wedding in Key West this summer, so I’m getting my mom this cute, summery bag that’s perfect for a tropical trip.” — Erin Fitzpatrick, news editorNext, read about the affordable denim French girls love.
