Lounge Mom

Sweet gift inspo for the mum who makes sure everyone else is kitted out in a cute ‘lil matching sweatset, but still doesn’t own one, herself.

 

Also available in hues like forest green and carob brown, there’s a reason this matching sweat set is a perennial bestseller on Amazon. And right on cue for 2026? That 90’s loose leg.

 

For the mum who’s always helping everyone else find their keys (but only occasionally loses hers, wink wink). I own and love this Always Found keychain in nomad taupe because it’s super easy to clip-and-slip into your overstuffed day bag–and I appreciate the gentle price point for gift-searching little ones.

East Coast Mom

For the style-leaning, stripe-wielding mum who has this uncanny knack of fusing classic pieces with trendy add-ons without as much as a blink. Case in point, this high priestess of prep:

 

I both want and need this poplin striped set, urgently. Right on cue for a summer lunch in the garden! (I’d also wear the shirt oversized and open over a bathing suit–parfait for a golden hour boat cruise).

Complete the look with this matching striped pink poplin shirt.

I misplace hats like a misplace sunnies. Sooo I prefer mine well-priced–but I also heart a big brim and a topper that doesn’t die as soon as it’s folded. Extra points for this charming version and its (ahem) goof-proof chin strap.

 

Buy mum a two-pack of sun goggles to have just in case of emergency (one for the glove box, one for the centre console). These throwback, tinted versions will add a trending boost to any getup.

You’re A Beauty, Mom!

For the mum who appreciates the #beauty (and also the #fashun)–right down to the perfect blush and the Cryo-glow to go with.

 

Did someone say Shark CryoGlow?! Sign. Me. Up. This under eye soothing, anti-ageing, blemish-repairing LED mask is, quite simply, the beauty gift that keeps on giving.

My eldest, Bee, tucked this exact pocket blush into my Christmas stocking last year, and now I’m hooked. My version (and shown here) is called Sleepy Girl, but whatever hue you choose? You’ll fall in love with Rhode’s buildable, creamy formula that blends like a dream.

 

There’s a reason this multi-peptide lash and brow serum by Canadian brand The Ordinary won an Allure Beauty award for their combo of results-meet-value. Use daily.

 

For the on-the-go Mom

For the On the Go Mum (for whom one bag is never enough).

A palatable price point for Mother’s Day (it can be from all of you!), the Everywhere belt bag from Lululemon is a bestseller year after year. I dig this animal print version with a red stripey detail (so cute cross body!)

 

Also available in beige, camel, light white and pastel tones, I love this lightweight, easy wash quilted day bag for the gym and life in general (and the laptop case to with!)
