Your mom’s like no other, so this year, choose a gift inspired by her interests—especially the ones you’ve been lucky enough to inherit.
She’s your first and forever influencer, the top spot-on recent calls, and the loyal best friend who’s been with you through it all. Your mom is more than deserving of a special day, so go big this year with fitting gifts she’ll treasure well beyond Mother’s Day brunch.
To inspire your search, we’ve rounded up sparkling surprises, luxe essentials, and creative pairings that celebrate who she is—from flight-ready picks for the international explorer to chic pieces for the style maven who inspires your own closet. And best of all, they’re fresh in stock and ready to wrap at South Coast Plaza.

THE MOTHER’S DAY EDIT
For the Mom Who’s Always In Airplane Mode
If your love of adventure began with far-flung family trips, pay homage to those beloved memories with a gift that will follow your mom on her next dreamy getaway.
Roger Vivier’s crystal-buckle sneakers steal the show for stylish strolls that don’t require a mid-day shoe swap. And since every mom’s a fan of the bottomless bag, Saint Laurent’s quilted lambskin shopping tote is a posh upgrade to carry her travel must-haves. Pair these wow-worthy pieces with a mini travel companion she’ll appreciate like Balmain’s high-drama shades, Valentino’s quick-fix hair clip, or a versatile, laidback cap from Hermès.
For the Mom In Touch With Mind, Body, and Spirit
Treat your favorite wellness guru to a luxurious dose of self-care. Whether your mom’s serving on the court, hitting the gym, or reflecting in meditation, these gifts are sure to elevate the best moments of her day.
Bring color to her game with Tory Burch’s punchy pickleball set, refresh her workout wardrobe with TYR’s sporty separates, or give her a stylish reminder to stay hydrated with Stanley’s buzzy Quencher tumbler from Williams Sonoma. For a more indulgent gift, look to L’Occitane En Provence’s Brightness of Neroli bath essentials and the invigorating woodsy notes of Byredo’s Mojave Ghost perfume.

Or book an oceanfront chef’s tasting experience and dress her for the occasion with Camilla’s breezy silk kimono sleeve maxi in a head-turning coral print. And since summer calls for fresh and easy footwear, you can tuck Dolce&Gabbana’s painterly floral sides into the twinning raffia shopper for the perfect finishing touch.

For The Mom Who Sets The Bar on Style
Chances are, your mom is the original style icon. If you’re still sneaking pieces from her spectacular closet, shop these runway favorites to complement her forever best-dressed status.
With its gleaming rose buttons and radiant green hue, Balmain’s show-stopping double-breasted jacket carries the confidence she lovingly passed down to you. If you’re searching for the metallic trend your mom loves to sport, look to Balenciaga’s glitzy Le City bag to meet the moment. Saint Laurent’s cropped bomber jacket brings edgy appeal to any look, so consider adding a satin-black eyeliner or pop-of-color lipstick so she can fully embrace it.

She runs the show with endless love, statement-making style, and superhuman attention to every last detail. And just like any queen, your mom never shies away from the opportunity to sparkle—especially when it comes to jewelry.
Harry Winston delivers spring’s favorite flowers in brilliant diamonds and twinkling pink sapphires, while Cartier’s shimmering Trinity ring makes a stunning and sweetly symbolic gift for a mother of three. For the mom who’s always on the go, the season’s swoon-worthy timepieces are as functional as they are chic. From Breitling’s blue-hued Super Chronomat Automatic 38 to Fendi’s ultra-modern O’Lock Vertical watch with a triple wrap strap, you’re bound to find one that suits her standout style.
