Mother's Day Accessories Gift Guide 2025

Looking for some last-minute Mother's Day gifts for yourself or your mom? Check out my favorites for this spring season!

For the mom who loves to travel, customize your gift with Jet Set Candy, featuring charms, chains and necklaces. Some of the charm collections include luggage tags, passport stamps, national parks and 3D charms. There are also 3D charms with styles for everyone, whether you prefer a champagne glass, camera, stiletto, or passport charm.

Another item that's hot for spring are Marchon's Pure eyewear styles. My top pick: P-7009 eyeglasses in Lime with a cat eye shape.

Danni Ro luxury handbags are crafted in Barcelona and inspired by the city's elegance and artisanal tradition, including the Manhattan Bag, Lisbon Baby Clutch, DR Clutch and Joy Bag.

For a more luxurious gift, explore Katherine Riardant’s genuine leather handbags and accessories, crafted in Italy. Featured styles include the Salomea Bucket Bag and the Bernina Top Handle Bag. I also love the Versa Cuff Bracelet, which comes in a variety of colors such as Off White, Kelly Green, Light Pink or Paprika Red. These bracelets are made from caviar grained leather and lined with leather. 

I’m loving the spring styles from 27 EDIT Naturalizer, especially Elaine, the statement slingback. slingback in champagne gold leather. It can easily be dressed up with a skirt or dress, or paired with jeans for a more casual look. The 2 3/4-inch sculpted heel strikes just the right balance. It's tall enough to elevate your style, but comfortable enough for all-day wear. Plus, it features REZORB™ responsive cushioning that absorbs shock and provides soft, lightweight comfort. Other great spring options include the boho-inspired Jordis heel and the Zen Strappy Platform Sandal.

Mother's Day Accessories Gift Guide 2024

 

Looking for a gift for Mother's Day? Here's my accessories gift guide picks for umbrellas, handbags and jewelry. 

Shed Rain is celebrating their 75th anniversary this year. I've always wanted to try one of their umbrellas and now that I have no other one will do! They have so many different umbrella options from compact ones to larger umbrellas for those days when it's non-stop rain.

My favorite from Shed Rain is the Artist Series Studio Proba Reverse Close Stick Umbrella with a vibrant design. The two-layer canopy is made of 100% recycled polyester from  plastic water bottles. The unique reverse closing keeps water inside the umbrella and away from you when you close your umbrella. Also has UPF 50+ sun protection and a rubber coated hands-free handle.

Hammitt LA is known for their super soft, buttery leather handbags and reinforced gold rivets and hardware detail. The bags also include exterior and interior pockets for your cell phone and credit cards. They come in a number of styles including crossbody, clutch, satchel, shoulder and tote bags.

Sattaché is a covertible bag for on-the-go shoe storage, oerfect for when you need to carry a change of shoes for commuter or vacation travel. It can be worn as a crossbody, over your tote, backpack or handheld and comes with a canvas strap, metal chain and extra drawstring bag for larger shoes. It is also eco-friendly and durable, made of water-resistant recycled materials and PETA approved vegan leather. 

When not used as a shoe bag, it's also great to carry your water bottle or compact umbrella. I commute every day to work in the city, so this bag will come in handy when I have to switch into heels at the office or before going to events after work. I can also see myself using this when I have to carry my heels with me to a red carpet event, or when I want to do a photo shoot during my travels and need to change from walking shoes into heels. I love how it stylishly looks like a classy handbag and not a shoe bag.

Dolce Vita has several different styles this spring, from pearl and wooden beaded bags to pleated faux leather and raffia clutches. I love Dolce Vita bags as they are fashionable accessories to add to your bag collection.

Brosway Italia bracelets, rings and necklaces are perfect for layering and also include a selection of earrings. Brosway also has a Fancy Collection, in a wide selection of sterling silver in hues of pink, purple, green, blue and more.

Oni Jewelry is known for their interlockable chains and Versawear tech charms to be worn multiple ways as earrings, necklaces, bracelets and even eyewear chains. Oni's pieces are made of high quality 925 sterling silver and plated with 14k gold. 

Sunglasses are always a great way to complete a look, including Donna Karan, Anne Klein and Draper James from Marchon Eyewear. Choose from classic aviator styles to ones with black or print frames.

Estée Lauder showcased Re-Nutriv skincare collection and spring makeup palettes. Estée Lauder created my eye look using the La Dangereuse eyeshadow palette by Violette filled with sparkle, pearl and matte finishes, along with the Sly & Sultry Deluxe Eye Crayon by Violette.

Chloé showcased three fragrances, including the classic scent that I actually keep at the office, Love Story, and the newest fragrance, Nomade, a floral scent with notes of Oakmoss, Freesia, and Mirabelle Liquor.

Bottega Veneta showcased their ultra-luxe Parco Palladiano collection inspired by an olfactive journey through a Palladian Garden, in Italy. One of my favorite scents in the collection is XIV Melagrana.

Alexander McQueen highlighted, Celtic Rose, a delicate aromatic floral perfume. 

Lancôme previewed the Absolue collection, which launched a rich cream, soft cream, eye cream, oléo-serum and eye serum in January. The luxurious line revitalizes to result in luminous, bright skin.

I'm really excited about the new line of Acqua di Parma candles ($69) and diffusers ($97). They smell absolutely amazing!

For my makeover, I had tried Clé de Peau Beauté The Foundation, with SPF 21. I was amazed at how well this foundation moisturizes, radiates and illuminates my skin. I can't say I've ever come across a foundation like this one! This foundation has medium coverage and is also acts as a primer. I also tried on Clé de Peau Beauté's concealer and lipstick.
