Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one editor, staffer, or influencer shares their top 30 must-haves or current wish-list items.
Chic Mother’s Day gifts are my forte. I was raised by a mom who taught me the power of looking put-together. Growing up, she’d constantly get compliments on her outfits, which looked effortlessly polished, whether we were running errands or heading out to dinner. I spent years wanting to be just like her, and somewhere along the way, I think I got pretty close. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned from my mom—and all the other moms in my life—it’s that Mother’s Day isn’t just about what someone else gives you. If you’re a mom, it’s also the perfect excuse to treat yourself to something you’ve had your eye on.
Every mother deserves to unwrap something at least once a year that makes her feel special, whether it’s a thoughtful surprise from her family or a well-earned self-gift. I put my expertise to good use and curated a list filled with coveted Mother’s Day finds, including beauty products, home decor, fashion, and everything in between.
