Mother's Day is probably one of my favorite day of the year. I always wake up to my husband and daughter making a ruckus in the kitchen, and it's sweet to see them work so hard for the breakfast in bed tradition. Being a mom has taught me so many things, and it really makes me appreciate my mom for all the sacrifices, and hard work she had to endure raising me and my siblings. I try to treat my mother every other week with a small gift but for Mother's Day, It's nice to go the extra mile and spoil her for the day.
We still have a little over a week, so I thought it's the perfect time to share my top picks with you all. I tried to include a little bit from every category home, fashion, skincare, bath, and fragrances. So you have tons of options to choose from. I'm also giving away some amazing Molton Brown gift sets, I'm giving away two sets to three lucky winners so don't forget to enter here.
- Topshop Shakira Woven Shopping Bag $38- Woven bags are so in right now, and this is a nice little twist to your basic woven bags. I love the metallic gold finish on the bag, and the linen pouch adds a chic vibe. It's also on the affordable side so you can get the bag and throw in little extra goodies inside the pouch. This bag also comes in silver color.
- Card Case- I will forever recommend card cases for all moms! I received a Chanel Card Case a few years ago on Mother's Day, which I still love dearly. I hate lugging around big wallets and since I mostly carry mini bags so it's the best option for me. Another option would be Louis Vuitton Pochette I have a few that I picked up during my vacation in Hawaii. I use them as a makeup bag it holds all my essentials. I have a blog post featuring the LV pochette and you can see how much It can hold here.
- Bathrobes- I can never have enough bathrobes and I think any mom will appreciate a comfy bathrobe. Here are a few that are on my radar here, here and here.
- Anthropologie Measuring Spoon $28- I love their measuring spoons and cups the one shown in the photo is from a few years ago that I received as a gift on Mother's Day. My mom loves to bake chocolate cakes I think we love her cake more than she loves baking it haha! So, these cups or spoons are an ideal gift for any mom who loves to bake. Here are a few options that I'm eyeing here, here and here.
- Coffee Makers- This is for moms who love their caffeine it might not be healthy but it keeps us going. My husband got me a new coffee maker and it's probably one of the best gifts he ever got me other than my very first Chanel Flap bag.
- Molton Brown Spring Signatures Bathing Gift Set $75- a trio of spring inspired body washes featuring Orange & Bergamot, Dewy Lily of the Valley & Star Anise, and Delicious Rhubarb and Rose. This set includes, one of my favorite shower gel Delicious Rhubarb and Rose which smells divine and the scent lingers on throughout the day. Molton Browns shower gels gently cleanse and leaves skin irresistibly fragranced. This gift set will be great for all moms, or you can treat yourself to a sweet recipe with a citrus twist.
- Molton Brown Spring Signatures Hand Cream Gift Trio $38- a lavish hand cream set featuring their spring signatures Orange & Bergamot, Dewy Lily of the Valley & Star Anise, and Delicious Rhubarb and Rose. As a mom Im constantly washing my hands, so I always keep a hand cream nearby. These hand creams absorb quickly, it's nourishing, and it smells amazing. Last year I bought a set for one of my friend, who was a new mommy, and she loved the gift so much so she treated herself to Molton Brown's body lotion.
- Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream $199- My mom loves skincare products, and I'm sure she'd love Elemis especially the Pro-Collagen line which targets wrinkles, firmness, and elasticity. Elemis Limited Edition Pro-Collagen Marine Cream comes in a beautiful keepsake box. There are also some amazing gift sets available here, here and here, these will be ideal gifts for mother's day.
- NuFACE Mini Electric Pink Set $199- I recently discovered this cool little tool called NuFACE it uses microcurrent technology to gently stimulate and improve skin's appearance. It visibly tones and lifts skin on your neck, jowls, jawline, cheeks, eyebrows, and forehead. This is a great gift for moms and grandmoms this set includes hydrating leave-on gel primer, prep and glow dual-sided cloths (5pack), optimizing mist, travel bag, guide, and power adapter.
- Artis Elite Smoke Brush set $170- I was introduced to these brushes last year, and I was blown away by how quickly it blends out the products. This set comes with 5 brushes, and it's perfect for a mommy on the go.
- Givenchy Live Irresistible Blossom Crush $91- The stud enhanced with a luminous mauve hue, the slender facetted bottle is fresh and modern. This is a floral scent but its subtle and its perfect for spring and summer. My mother loves floral scents so Im debating between the Givenchy Blossom crush and Jo Malone Peony and Blush Suede Cologne.
- Byredo Nomade Trio $110- you can't go wrong with a Byredo set I love this trio it's got two of my favorites from the brand Blanche and Bal D'Afrique. Last year, I treated myself to a limited edition hand cream duo, so I'm thinking about picking up the travel case for the travel vials.

- Byredo Parfum Travel Vial $110- Perfumes are hard to pick, and I should know cause I'm extremely picky when it comes fragrances. However, I think these vials are a great way to introduce someone to the brand and their scents. The sizes (12ml each) are big enough, and you can get a sufficient amount of uses out of each vial.
- Laura Mercier Body Souffle Body Creme $60- This luxurious ultra whipped body creme will definitely put a smile on your mom's face. I received a set of Laura Mercier's Body Souffle last year, and I've been obsessed ever since. Each and every souffle's smells amazing, and it's very hydrating as well.
- BP Scalloped Faux Leather Tote $49- Both my mom and mom in law loves tote bags, and this is a great affordable one. This tote bag comes in four colors, and since it's faux leather, it's not very high maintenance perfect for everyday use. Also, I love the scalloped topline it's such a cute trendy bag.
- A few other options I wanted to include which I think will make a perfect gift for any moms Slip Silk Pillowcase $79, Fresh In The Buff Bundle and Chloe Drew Square Zip-Around Wallet.
These are my top picks for this year's Mother's Day Gift Guide hope you'll find this helpful. And I Hope you all have an amazing Mother's Day with your moms and your grandmothers.

The packaging is simply stunning, from the deep berry and gold color combo to the easy peasy twist up crayons, what's not to love?

Wander Beauty Mini Carryon Kit Ingredients
My favorites out of all four are Pink City and Madisoness both of them are perfect everyday shade. I think the four shades in this kit were very well put together. I find applying two coats provides a full coverage finish and since these are buildable you can always go heavy or light handed as you'd prefer. All four shades lasted about 2-3 hours and it started fading after 4 hours of wear.

This is a fun one it comes with a cute little Wanderess Make Bag, a Mini Crayon Lip & Cheek Gel in Pink City (.056 oz.), Unlashed Volume & Curl Mascara (.32 oz.), and a Dual Cream Shadow and Eyeliner (Shadow 0.053 oz. and Liner 0.007 oz.)

- Unlashed Volume & Curl Mascara in Tarmac- An intense black mascara that volumizes, lengthens, and curls your lashes. I have thin lashes and they're also very flat so I'm always on the hunt for the next best volumizing and curling mascara that can give my lashes some life. This mascara definitely gave my lashes some drama and thickness I was looking for. The curved brush made the application very easy and it didn't clump, flake or smudge. Overall, I'm really impressed with this mascara and with just two coats of this mascara my tiny lashes were elongated, curled and volumized.
- Mini Lip & Cheek Gel in Pink City- This mauve shade lip and cheek gel is a perfect everyday shade. Pink City was included in the Mini Carryon Kit and as I've mentioned before I'm totally loving this product.
- Dual Cream Shadow and Eyeliner in Black Jet- A dual ended, highly pigmented taupe cream shadow and smokey black eyeliner stick. I'm all about quick and easy looks and this Dual Cream Shadow and Eyeliner falls right into that category. I love the twist up packaging which means no sharpening no waste of products. Both the liner and shadow is very pigmented, easy to blend, crease proof, and long wearing. If you like creamy eyeliners you'll love this one it just glides on like butter. Also, I noticed all the Wander Beauty products amazing formulas and performance are really consistent which I find pretty amazing. This product is formulated without paraben, phthalates. mineral oil, synthetic fragrance and cruelty-free.

The wanderberry and the polished gold color combo makes this bag even more stunning. This bag alone retails for $20 and you're getting Four great products for all under $50 you can't really beat that price.
