Mother’s Day is a few days away. Still have no idea what to get Mom?

She has done so much for you and it’s time to show your love and appreciation for the queen of your heart this Sunday, May 12. But nailing down the perfect present for her, especially if she already seems to have everything, can be quite a challenge. That’s why we’ve curated a list of the finest gifts that will surely make Mom smile!  

There’s no doubt that Mom deserves the best. Whether she’s into lovely home items, stylish wardrobe finds, sophisticated scents, or everything above, there’s something in this splurge-worthy list that could impress her this Mother’s Day. The best part is, you can easily get them at Rustan’s. Read on. 

For her beauty needs

Even though Mom is always busy or always on the go, you must make sure she doesn’t forget about self-care, and this includes having hydrated skin from head to toe. For this, Mom could use the 290 Firming Body Serum by L:a Bruket, which hydrates the face and body in just one step. Aside from deeply moisturizing the skin and giving it a subtle fresh scent, it has also been clinically proven to boost skin firmness and elasticity.

She’ll also love the Clarins Cryo-Flash Cream-Mask that could help maintain her youthful appearance. This anti-aging solution is made with the skincare brand’s exclusive bio-inspired plant extract—the organic evening primrose—giving her that “instant lift effect, firming, and glow.” Perfect for hot, summer days or simply ending a tiring day with its relaxing and cooling effect!

How about adding to her makeup collection? CHANEL has new eye palettes from its Spring 2024 collection that could elevate her look for every occasion—be it the Les 4 Ombres Rivage palette with satiny turquoise, subtle satiny champagne, luminous matte brown, and translucent hues for parties or the Les 4 Ombres Coral Treasure featuring apricot orange, luminous fuchsia, lilac pink, and semi-matte coral orange for her summer getaways

Treat and transport your mom to the sight of Tokyo covered up with cherry petals with the Acca Kappa Sakura Tokyo Eau de Parfum. She will adore this if she’s into neat, powdery scents dominated by floral aromas.

Accessorizing is a must. If you’re looking for a great addition to mom’s jewelry line, the Venetian Princess Necklace Blue Lapis Lazuli by Roberto Coin might be your best bet. Made in 18-carat rose gold, this piece features a Lapis design hiding within a complex structure from a twisted wire that can only be seen by the wearer.

Strathberry is known for its luxury leather goods. For the mom who’s into details, the versatile style of the Strathberry Box Crescent Chesnut with Navy Edge and Crochet Strap could be her go-to bag when she’s out and about. Featuring a structured square shape that can fit her everyday essentials, this item has two straps—a wide leather belt and a sleek chain—that allow for different wearing styles depending on her chosen outfit for the day.

For her home

There’s so much to love about the City of Love, one of them being the warmth of Parisian cafes. Diptyque’s new aromas in its classic candle collection might be the best Mother’s Day gift for a relaxing and nostalgic Parisian experience. Inspired by the menu of Cafe Verlet, which is loved for its wide selection of pure-origin coffee, the scents include Café (Coffee), Chantilly (Whipped Cream), Biscuit (Biscuit), and Fruits Confits (Candied Fruit) tthat could bring a sense of softness, sweetness, and elegance into her abode.

Even the little things matter when it comes to gift-giving. Why not breathe life into the dull corners of her home by surprising her with pieces from KCurated by none other than industrial designer Kenneth Cobonpue? There’s the Pup With a Hat Lamp that gives off a playful charm as well as the vibrant Bloom Mini, a replica of his iconic “Bloom” chair.
