Mother’s Day 2024 is on Sunday, May 12, which means this holiday is quickly approaching! From the best candle I’ve burned lately to loungewear that feels like a soft breeze on the skin, here are my picks for our 2024 Mother’s Day gift guide. I’ve included a couple of my wish list items as well—hint, hint to the people in my life! 

These are my favorite Mother’s Day gift ideas for 2024…

1. Follain Candle #2

$45

I recently had this candle burning in my kitchen and entryway and it felt like a little trip to the spa. It’s a nice little pick-me-up that would be a perfect gift. The vessel is beautiful and it burns for a long time.

2. Gardening Gift Card

$25+

All I want for Mother’s Day are plants for my garden—and to look cute while gardening. Terrain is a great place to shop for gardening essentials online. Your local nursery is bound to have beautiful items as well—and in doing so, you’re supporting a local business. My favorite is Tonkadale.

3. Wit & Delight Striped Spiral Notepad

$15

Our popular spiral notepads made a colorful debut at Anthropologie this month! They’re great for keeping on a desk or in the kitchen for jotting notes down. 

4. J.Crew Woven Straw Tote

$118 currently on sale for $85

A carry-all tote in a classic woven material stands the test of time and will get used year after year. 

5. L’Occitane Shea Nourishing Trio Set

$52

My skin is dry year-round and high-quality hand cream from L’Occitane is always a welcome gift. 

6. Roxanne Assoulin Heart Necklace

$145

This is a big statement necklace they can wear proudly with a simple white tee or their favorite dress. 

7. MERIT Summer Set

$112

MERIT makeup is a dream for no-fuss beauty lovers. The summer set is a great gift for the upcoming warmer months, designed for glowy skin that doesn’t look glittery. 

8. Another Feather Platter Ring

$268

I love an heirloom piece that is understated yet special and easy to wear daily.  Another Feather specializes in that kind of jewelry. Any one of their pieces would make a great gift, with my personal favorites being the Platter ring, Vase and Urn necklaces, and Natica earrings. 

9. Fortune Frame

$38

A little frame to hold their favorite fortune cookie message? I think this is such a cute gift idea! I want one. 

10. Berti Red-Handled Italian Kitchen Knives

$213+

If the mom in your life loves to cook, good knives make the task a wonderfully meditative process. Handmade in Italy since 1895, these Berti knives are incredibly high-quality and would make an amazing gift.

11. Negative Underwear Whipped Track Pant & Henley

$185 & $125

The Whipped collection feels like wearing nothing! The material is so soft and supple. Any piece from this collection would make a great gift for someone who loves to get into their comfies at the end of the workday or linger in them long into a weekend afternoon. 

12. Anthropologie Wine Glasses

$72 currently on sale for $57

These wine glasses are fun and festive and make a great gift for a mother who loves to entertain. 

13. PASCAL Oval Bubble Diamond Watch

$195

A cute little watch that is on the top of my wish list.
