“My mom's super picky when shopping for bags, so it's been hard to find her just the right one. She's ready to upgrade and I know this animal print carryall ($998; katespade.com) is perfect—it's roomy enough for all of her things (including tupperwares of snacks she carries everywhere), the print is classy and sassy just like her, and it's got a pocket in the front where she can stash her phone. (She needs it handy since I call all the time.)”

“If your mom is a practical woman, like mine was, I would bet she would not want to splurge skin care cream ($295; cremedelamer.com). But if someone were to give her a jar, she'd use it religiously and be forever grateful.”

Angelique Serrano, Beauty Director
"My mom would never splurge on a hair brush, but this lightweight one from Laight amp Mercer ($80; laightandmercer.com) is so worth the investment. It only takes one pass through fine strands like ours to detangle without drawing an “ouch” from our mouths or a damaged strand from our heads."

Joanna Joanna Bober, Life, Etc. Director
"I get my love for beautiful design for the home from my mother. Her rose garden is one of her great passions, and during the summer she'll put a few blossoms in a glass and the effect is so elegant. I look for amazing glassware and will buy just one or two vessels, imagining how her roses will look on display. This glass ($190/set of 2; neuegalerie.org) is perfect—the shape, the thinness of the glass. And she loves the Neue Galerie, where it's from."
