Mother's Day gift guide: The best luxury gifts for 2022
Make this year's one to remember with spoiling gifts for the most important woman in your life
P
SA: Mother’s Day is on Sunday 27 March and, as we spent the last two in lockdown, the pressure is really on to pull out all the stops this year. A good gift can go a long way to making her day special (as can a great afternoon tea or Michelin-starred meal delivery), so make this year’s one to remember with our edit of the best luxury gifts for Mother’s Day 2022.
Fashion gifts
A luxe wardrobe update makes for a truly thoughtful Mother's Day gift. Stine Goya's colourful knit is the perfect universally-flattering piece to inject some brightness into her look, while you can never go wrong with a good Loewe shoulder bag and Saint Laurent's neutral espadrilles will go with everything from her favourite jeans to a new summer dress. And for ultimate in luxe relaxation? Olivia von Halle's silk robes are good enough to leave the house in – but also pair perfectly with Lily and Lionel's floral bedtime accessories.
Beauty gifts
Espa Optimal Skin Pro-serum, £55, cultbeauty.co.uk; Byredo Gypsy Water Eau de Parfum, £182, spacenk.com; A Moment for Mum hamper, £225, harveynichols.com; La Mer The Hand Treatment, £88, johnlewis.com; Iconic London Ultimate Brush Set, £75, harrods.com
You could treat your mum to an indulgent spa treatment for Mother’s Day but gifting her a range of the best beauty products on the market is guaranteed to make her feel pampered – and lasts so much longer. A good beauty routine starts with great skincare; Espa's soothing serum and La Mer’s nourishing hand treatment more than fit the bill. Add to this a dash of Byredo’s fresh Gypsy Water scent, an upgrade to her well-worn make-up brushes and a treasure trove of treats from Harvey Nichols and she’ll be stepping into the new season feeling like a new woman.
Jewellery gifts
Few and far between are the women who fail to be seduced by something shiny and glittering. For modern mothers, both Annoushka and Jessie Thomas are offering a contemporary twist on the classic pearl earring, while Bucherer Fine Jewellery’s Peekaboo bangle, finished with a pastel prasiolite, is timelessly elegant. If watches are more her thing, this diamond-set piece from Graff's Tilda's Bow collection is an absolute showstopper while Chaumet’s Jeux de Liens pendant can be engraved on the reverse for a more personal touch.
Interiors and home gifts
If it’s been a while since your last family get-together, we're willing to bet your mum is itching to have you over as soon as possible. In which case a few well-chosen interior design items are guaranteed to go down a storm. Lily Pearman's chic ceramic bowls, Asprey’s tulip-emblazoned tumblers and Vaisselle's charming vase will elevate any table, while Ved Cooks pretty pastel napkins make for the perfect finishing touch to any tablescape. And don't arrive empty-handed: a vase of Flowerbx roses is a classic.
Foodie gifts
When all else fails, you can’t go wrong with a lavish foodie gift. Chocolates and champagne are the obvious go-tos (something from Charbonnel et Walker or Ruinart is impressive without being cliche) while the Isle of Wight Distillery's eye-catching gin is more than your average bottle of Gordon’s. If breakfast in bed is a Mother’s Day tradition in your family, get her day off to a good start with Smeg’s vintage milk frother and Smythson’s utterly opulent tea set.
