What 16 Fashion Moms Actually Want for Mother's Day

Here's what moms need (I know this from personal experience): 20 minutes in the morning so they can do their shake plate in peace without being asked 1,000 questions before 7:30 a.m., not to be walked in on while they're in the bathroom (doing whatever the hell they please, which may include scrolling in peace), and for their partner to put each kid to sleep at bedtime. What she wants for Mother's Day is a completely different story, though.

Coveteur asked 16 fashion and beauty moms what they're actually hoping to receive this Mother's Day. I'll go first.

"My husband asks our kids what they want to say in my Mother's Day cards and it's always hilarious what they write, so I love reading those each year, but then comes the reward I've earned for the mental mother load I (and we all) carry as moms...my favorite gift right now is a gift card from The RealReal, because, let's be honest, we're all scouring their pages daily for some treasure we might find!"

"It's funny, the more corporate and busy my life gets, the more I crave a slower, more intentional way of living. In my head, I'm fully in my Meghan Markle era, and what I want for Mother's Day reflects that. I'm drawn to beautiful, functional things for the home and kitchen, like a perfect Le Creuset set or anything that makes cooking feel like a ritual, not a task. I love gifts that elevate the everyday. The Flamingo Estate Garden Tour box is exactly that energy: it brings the garden into your home, with olive oil, honey, candles, and soaps that turn simple moments into something sensory and special."

"For Mother's Day, the two things that would feel most meaningful to me are experiences that I know truly give back to me, and in turn, to our family. It makes me a better mom, imo.

One is doing the Hoffman Process again. It was one of the most impactful gifts I've ever given myself and our relationship, especially doing it before deciding to become a parent. It helped me invest deeply in my mental and emotional health in a way I'll always value and advocate for. To this day, I'm getting thank you letters [from my community] saying the process has changed their life.

The other is returning to The Ranch Malibu. I've gone twice, and the second time I did it with Jacopo during Thanksgiving week and it was such a special, bonding experience. There's something really powerful about stepping away, hiking every day, eating clean, farm-to-table meals, and just being present. It's challenging at times (especially the longer hikes), but incredibly rewarding. I'd love to experience that again."

"I, of course, live for the drawings and creations my daughter gives me for Mother's Day and I'll treasure them always. She's been creating these little scrolls with beautiful messages on them that go right onto my altar to keep all the good energy flowing. But if I'm picking a gift! I'd love to have a Pilates reformer at home. They're actually beautiful and I know I'd use it every day between actual Pilates classes. This one is lovely."

"My ideal Mother's Day gift is breakfast in bed by my husband and all the kids cuddling up in bed with me and then a relaxing at-home massage appointment organized by my husband. I love the lymphatic drainage massages by Suelen, they're so powerful and enjoyable. She has a magic touch!"

"A vintage Bulgari Serpenti Watch, something timeless, iconic, and a little indulgent. The kind of piece you don't buy for yourself, but that makes you feel like you again the second you put it on."

"For Mother's Day I love notes from my cuties!!! Anything handmade or written isalways the thing I treasure most—these are the cards by kids always fill out. I do love to all get dressed up as a family and go to brunch 😊 I'll be wearing my new Chanel ballet flats for the occasion — also a great gift!"

"The gift I'd like for Mother's Day, for me, this year is actually what I'll be doing. I planned a trip with Kai and my mother. More and more, as years go by, I want to be closer to family, bonding with family, and I would say a trip with Kai because he loves to travel and I love seeing his little face exploring new things, new hotels, new countries and cultures. This year we're going to Costa Rica; I'm showing him where it is, the language that they speak there — and I already know I'm gonna have a great time with him and be fully present for him without looking at my phone or having any distractions, playing with him and exploring together… But more than any gift, what I would actually love from him is a flower. He always gives me a flower on Mother's Day, so I would like to keep that tradition."

"Motherhood comes with this quiet expectation that your needs move to the bottom. So, what I want for Mother's Day is something simple but radical — time for me. Whether it's a treatment, a walk, or just getting dressed up to go to lunch, it's less about the gift and more about being reminded I'm still me while also being a mother."

"Things on my Mother's Day wishlist: These John Hardy drop earrings—in general, I'm a fan of over-accessorizing (even in sweats, school drop off...unpopular opinion, but even during workouts/ in the ocean) because they make the everyday moments feel special and these in particular are enough of a statement while still feeling classic enough to be appropriate in every situation.

Quality time with my family...or Spread the Jelly (STJ) CARDS. Not to be cliche but I have everything I need—if anything, I just want more quality time with my loved ones. When creating this deck, we hand-selected questions from our interviews that successfully fostered deeper connections, encouraging people to drop their guard and open up. I use this at meal time with my family to get everyone off their phones, even as a journal prompt solo. I'm learning more about my loved ones (even my husband!), which is the greatest gift.

The practical gift: The Aiden Precision Coffee Maker I actually own this already at my weekend house and it's made my morning experience so much easier that I now want one for the city. It's also been my go-to gift for others (I just got my father-in-law one) because I believe everyone deserves to start their day with a really good cup of coffee."

"I already have these Tabis in brown, but I wear them every day of my life and want them in black and every color. The mini Phlur icons are also so good for moms on-the-go no matter how big or small their purses are. They're easy enough to store in a tiny bag and keep you smelling good all day long! Missing Person and Vanilla Skin are classics and icons that are a must for all mamas!"

"I am a Chanel Coco Crush day-one fan and quite frankly built out my collection that I now wear exclusively - I slowly stopped wearing my other pieces, not because I don't love them but I outgrew them. Their new necklace, a choker, which is adjustable in size around the neck but I love it to sit tight like a choker: the Coco Crush Supple Short Necklace in 18K beige gold is my ultimate dream present for this Mother's Day!"

"For me, the most meaningful gifts for Mother's Day are from the kids, by the kids. One year I got a frame with four polaroids and my son was holding up a different sign in each one: I, LOVE, YOU, MOM. And my husband framed them all together. It's up in our house. That's the kind of gift, freezing time, that means the most to me."

"The best gift for me is organization and a clear mind. I can tell you what I did want one Mother's Day and it was the best gift ever: my closet organized. My husband kindly got someone to come over from Neat Nest and her name is Meryl and she changed my life. This Mother's Day, though, I'd love for my kids to make me a proper photo album of the last year — I feel like I'm the one who is always putting together the reel for the birthday and we don't actually have an actual photo album. That and a pair of Saint Laurent loafers!"

“For Mother’s Day this year, I’d like a car detail and a stay at The Manner hotel. A clean ride and a design-driven, black-out shade hideaway where my family meets me the next day for breakfast and a trip to The Studio Museum. Also to be included, please: an Elsa Peretti bone cuff.”
