Kevyn Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer
Let your mom say what she will about Kim Kardashian, but the fact remains she has great skin. This creamy pigment is a favorite of hers, and can be blended with moisturizer for a light foundation, too.

Baggu set of three totes
If she hasn't ditched plastic bags already, give her a poppy reason to do so.

Separately, floral and drop earrings are so hot right now. Together, they're a fashion home run (we have a feeling you might be borrowing these).

Uniqlo linen shirt
There is nothing chicer for when the weather warms up (see: Lauren Hutton), and the price is unbeatable. You could even buy two—they have tons of great colors!

Eve Lom Time Retreat hand treatment
Everything about this botanical-packed line is spa-like—Gwyneth Paltrow is a fan, FYI—and this light cream combats signs of aging with retinol while moisturizing. (If you can afford it, splurge for the Morning Time cleanser, which will transform her AM face wash into a luxurious ritual.)
