Having trouble figuring out what to get mom? These five gifts are the best way possible to show you’re grateful!
Say it with flowers in the hautest way possible. Order up the “Sweet Mama” bouquet ($55) bright ranunculus—a sweet mix of peach and red berries, and a bright succulent or pin cushion—from Bloom2Bloom, a company with a conscience. Whitney Port’s floral company donates sales from each purchase to Wish Upon A Teen, an organization that is dedicated to providing resources, time and opportunities to teenagers with severe life-limiting medical conditions. Put your spring-colored buds in Baccarat‘s striking Tornado vase ($4,145), which boasts découpé detailing. The unexpected angular cuts refract the light off of sharply diagonal outlines, adding an astonishing graphic richness to the line of the vase. The chiseled openings coil around the circumference of the vase in a poetic spiral, which amplifies the three-dimensionality of the luminous crystal. The vase’s wide circular neck structures any bouquet in any lovely floral configuration.

If your mom digs unique items, treat her to the big daddy of presents with Louis Vuitton‘s Malle Fleur trunk (price upon request), which is available at South Coast Plaza through the month of May. This romantic piece is a reinterpretation of an iconic piece created in the 1910s for the Maison’s very best clients: the flower trunk. The water-resistant metallic tray and Vuittonite lining allows flowers, water, or soil to be put in the tray without damaging it. It’s blooming perfect.
If your mother enjoys the finest things in life, treat her to Petrossian’s Mother’s Day gift basket, which includes 125 grams of Ossetra President caviar. The sumptuous gift also includes a Souhoi smoked salmon; a beet-marinated smoked salmon; 100 grams of trout roe; 100 grams of salmon roe; 12 mini blinis; one creme fraiche; one chocolate caviar and vodka gift box; and one pates de fruit.
The most coveted gift in the beauty world right now is the Dyson Supersonic, rendered even more special in that designer James Dyson has created a special Mother’s Day edition of the took, presented in pale rose, cushioned with soft fabric and secured by a magnetic clasp. This tool is not only cool to look at, but it gets your hair gorgeous in minutes using specialized technology. Air temperature is measured 20 times every second, keeping the temperature under control and its motor is in its handle, rebalancing its weight and shape. Plus, a variety of different attachments will give your mom the hair she has always coveted, even if that idea changes every single day. It can’t be beaten.
