7 Gift Ideas to Surprise Mom

It’s that time of the year again – the one day specifically dedicated to showing our maternal parents, guardians, aunts, grandparents, and more some love and appreciation with memorable gifts they will love. This year, Mother’s Day is on Sunday, May 9th and that leaves just the right amount of time to get that perfect gift before time runs out!

Rather than surprising them with a perfume or that three-wick candle they have a few of already, take it another step and make your gift the most talked about amongst their peers. Topped off with flowers and a card, that extra push of their dream designer piece will make this year the hardest to beat. Keeping that plan in mind, our Mother’s Day Gift Guide will help jumpstart your gift shopping!

1. The Bottomless Tote

Tote bags are the IDEAL gift for any mom whether they are a seasoned parent or soon to be mom. These large bags are known for the amount of space gifted for carrying the essentials, even if they’re yours or your kid’s. The great thing about these bags is that they come in a variety of sizes and styles, so you have plenty to choose from while looking for a gift. If you are having a hard time deciding, we recommend a Louis Vuitton Neverfull.

2. Versatile Satchels

The perfect piece between a top handle and a crossbody, snag a satchel bag for never ending style options. With the possibility of being carried by hand, the shoulder, or across your body to go hands-free, your gift will give them unlimited wearable options. From a Louis Vuitton Speedy Bandouliere to a Gucci Zumi bag, we know that the satchel would be the perfect gift for your mom.

3. Ditch the Wallet, Choose a WOC

Are they tired of lugging all of their personal items around? Gift them the beauty of a Wallet on a Chain (WOC) bag. Small in size with card slots and typically a long chain to make it a crossbody, WOCs are an essential for any well-heeled handbag collection.

4. Travel Musts

Every fashionista loves to travel even if they stay local or explore the world. With traveling comes the headache of what bags to use and outfits to plan. Help keep that mom in your life prepared to make trips anywhere with a duffel bag or suitcase. Here at Couture, we always recommend the coveted Louis Vuitton Keepall . From carry-on size to checking-in, the Keepall is the ideal travel bag that never loses its charm or worth.

5. Keeping it Small

Size doesn’t matter and your mother would appreciate anything you gift them this year. If they don’t want or need another handbag, consider going small and getting them something that will help keep them organized. Wallets, card holders, key rings, and bag charms are just a few accessories you can consider when shopping for them!

6. Make it a Sneakernight

Maybe they’ll love a pair of pumps, but you can’t go wrong with a pair of sneakers. They are the definition of comfort and come in a variety of styles from low-top to high-top, short platform or tall, designer sneakers will have them forever grateful to your gift giving skills. If you are looking to give your maternal figure or a mommy-to-be comfort, try a pair of Gucci Ace Sneakers or Balenciaga Triple S sneakers.

7. Make it Shine

When all else fails, jewelry is always the way to go no matter what holiday it is! Whether it’s a watch to keep them on time or earrings they can wear with their hair up or down, the possibilities are endless. We recommend anything from David Yurman or Tiffany & Co. for classic options she will love over and over again for many years to come.
