I Asked the Moms in My Life What They Want for Mother's Day—10 Standout Gifts
From comfy white sneakers to everyday jewelry.
Friends! We’re working on our May Motherhood issues (coming soon, you will absolutely love them) at MC HQ. So I, of course, have cool moms and Mother’s Day on the brain. With just a few weeks left until the big day, now’s the time to shop and ensure her present arrives on time. Ahead, I’ve handpicked ten gifts at every price point for moms with excellent taste.
There’s a high possibility that sleep is at an all-time low for the new moms in your life. Get them a gift that hides the signs of multiple all-nighters.
A limited-edition release that shows off her sneakerhead nature and makes chasing after her kids way easy.
Just because she’s always schlepping stuff around these days, doesn’t mean she can’t do it in style.
Behold: a piece of everyday jewelry her kid can’t yank at.
The stress is real! Help her relieve some of it with this mini massager.
From what I’ve been told, a mom who travels a lot can never have too many pouches.
A little something for when she’s off duty.
The way she’s going to wash her hands over and over (and over) again? The dryness?!?! This will combat it.
Set her up for beach read season with a book—plus some merch from her soon-to-be-favorite, getting-in-the-mood publishing house.
Pair this gift with a coupon for free babysitting. A couple of hours in the dark on her own (or with her partner) is what she really wants.
Anatomy of an Outfit
TUESDAY:
Early flight to Cupertino, California, to visit the Apple Campus and celebrate Global Close Your Rings Day. There wasn’t much time to freshen up between landing and meetings, so I went with a comfortable tried-and-true outfit combination: long-sleeve polo shirt, barrel-leg jeans, and sneakers, of course.
WEDNESDAY:
Celebrated Global Close Your Rings Day with 90+ content creators, journalists, trainers, and influencers from all around the world at Apple Park. My friends and I joked that it basically felt like adult field day (the best!), so we dressed accordingly.
THURSDAY:
Travel day back to New York. I generally wear the same thing on outbound and inbound flights—there’s comfort in having a travel uniform that just works.
FRIDAY:
Back in New York to record an episode of Let’s Get Dressed with my friend Liv Perez, then a couple meetings to end the week.
