Whether she’s all about her skincare routine, obsessed with accessories, or just deserves a little everyday luxury, there’s something to suit every style (and every mum). To help you narrow it down, we’ve handpicked 12 of the best fashion and beauty buys from THE ICONIC this Mother’s Day.

Best Beauty Gifts

Gift her a little luxury with these elegant beauty picks. The cult-favourite Prada Paradoxe EDP is guaranteed to delight with scents of floral and amber, while a bold new lipstick adds instant polish to her daily routine. Thoughtful and lavish, these are the kind of beauty buys she’ll actually use—and love.

Best Accessories Gifts

For a meaningful Mother’s Day gift, consider what will make her everyday life better or easier. Does she have a long commute to work?

Whatever she needs, these editor-approved accessories are the perfect way to show Mum she’s worth the splurge.

What are the most popular Mother’s Day gifts?  

The most-loved Mother’s Day gifts are both considerate and indulgent. Think: luxe candles she wouldn’t splurge on herself, personalised jewellery with a sweet nod to her kids, and skincare sets that turn her bathroom into a spa. To nail your present, tailor it to her personality and lifestyle. Stylish mums will love a silk scarf or a new handbag such as the Freja NYC Linnea Tote Bag, while active types might prefer a colourful new Stanley tumbler. Whatever you choose, make it personal—because the best gift is one that makes her feel seen.

What to buy for a mother-in-law for Mother’s Day?

Finding the perfect gift for your mother-in-law doesn’t have to be stressful—it’s all about showing appreciation. Instead of going overly personal, opt for gifts that feel thoughtful yet refined: a designer lipstick, such as the Lancome L’Absolu Rouge Cream Lipstick, luxurious hand cream, or a bottle of her favourite wine. A curated gift box, fresh blooms, or new accessories such as a mini wallet also hit the mark. At the end of the day, it’s not about grand gestures—it’s about honouring the unbreakable bond you share, and giving her a moment to feel loved, seen, and celebrated.
