5 Mother’s Day Gifts Guaranteed to Prove You’re Her Favorite Child

Choosing the perfect Mother’s Day gift is an art. You want something she’ll use but wouldn’t buy for herself. Something that speaks to her personality and interests; that’s as special (or nearly) as she is.

Need a head start? We’re here to help. Read on for five can’t-miss ideas guaranteed to prove, once and for all, that you are her favorite child.

1. Repurpose a sentimental piece of jewelry into something she’ll actually wear.

“Jewelry shouldn’t live in anyone’s jewelry box, especially when it’s so easy to make it into a piece she’ll love forever,” according to Lyn Skibell, owner of Skibell Fine Jewelry.

Every project starts with a detailed, flexible model. Turn a ring into a necklace, for example, or a diamond tennis bracelet into fabulous drop earrings. You can also take loose stones and create an entirely new piece.

“It’s 100 percent a collaborative process. We work with you every step of the way,” said Lyn. “The real beauty of repurposing is owning jewelry that’s personal, purposeful, and most important of all, wearable.”

2. Indulge her wanderlust with custom designed luggage.

Roam Luggage lets you create a one-of-a-kind design for your one-of-a-kind mom. Nine parts can be tailor-made to your exact specifications, from front and back shell to binding, wheels, handle, even lining. An exclusive color palette features 11 fashion-forward shades — think Ibiza Sky, Venetian Green, Toledo Red, and Cornwall Slate.

The luggage itself is pretty cool, too. Voted No. 1 by USA Today readers, every case sports a compression packing system, four spinner wheels, and TSA combination lock.

3. Turn flowers into a totally personalized experience.

Think flowers have to be the same-old same-old? Think again. Floracracy lets you customize an arrangement perfectly suited to mom’s individual style. Design it yourself on the company’s website or work with Floracracy’s concierge team to get what exactly what you want.

Here’s how it works: Complete a brief questionnaire about the occasion, the receiver, the message, and the aesthetic. Then choose the type of flowers, shape, size, and color palette. An added bonus: a tool that shows you each bloom’s meaning and origin.

4. Show her she’s got game with a personalized pickleball paddle.

Paddletek, a top player in the pickleball arena, combines fashion and function. Choose from a myriad of customizable features including grip size and weight. There’s also a custom text option plus 91 mix-and-matchable colorations.

Or choose from a plethora of uber-stylish, ready-made designs. We love designer Cynthia Rowley’s little floral number and J. Crew’s preppy gingham checks.

5. And finally, make sure she never runs out of champagne.

French champagne at the touch of a button? Yes, please. This Moet & Chandon vending machine — available exclusively at Neiman Marcus — can be stocked with 280 mini bottles of bubbly and personalized with your family name or favorite expression.

Sure, it’s pricey. But for a priceless mom? We’ll toast to that.
