Mother’s Day gifts

Respected family figure, meet respected fashion figure. Saint Laurent’s Le 5 à 7 bag is a gift that’s made to last. Finished with the iconic YSL monogram, this hobo bag combines the French fashion house’s timeless style with a 90s silhouette that’s been a favourite on the runways for several seasons now.  

Nostalgia is always a magical ingredient for a Mother’s Day gift. This beaded necklace from fine jeweller Lauren Rubinski’s Love Beads collection is a reminder of childhood crafting, but with a handcrafted-in-Paris upgrade.  

A pout isn’t normally a reaction we like to see on a gift recipient’s face, but this exclusive-to-Selfridges lip trio from Hermès has created an exception. In the signature orange box, you’ll find a satin lipstick, a subtle tinted lip enhancer and a hydrating lip balm. Each one has a buttery, hydrating formula and can be easily refilled, so the gift can be used long after the lipsticks are finished.

VRAI diamonds are rare, just not in the way you might expect. Instead of mining its diamonds, VRAI makes theirs in a completely hydro-powered laboratory, earning it the accolade of being the first zero-emission diamond producer. This pair of 14-carat-gold earrings features four of its brilliant-cut diamonds. It’ll look great alone or as part of a more maximalist ear stack. 

Here is a gift that says thank you for all you do in the best way possible, with food! Carefully curated to bring maximum joy, this Selfridges hamper includes everything from rich Brazilian coffee and zingy kalamata olives, to strawberry shortbread and delicious sweet salted caramels. A gift that will be opened (and hopefully shared) immediately.

Luxury, indulgence and relaxation: yes, yes and yes for qualities that make an excellent Mother’s Day gift. Ticking all three, these pure cashmere socks from God’s True Cashmere are the stuff of loungewear dreams. Cosy crowd-pleasers, they’re finished with gemstones on the cuff. Whoever said socks were boring?  

Nothing says “put your feet up, mum” quite like a footstool. Soho Home’s jute floor cushion was inspired by the interiors at Soho Roc House in Mykonos, hence the bohemian pattern. Think of it as bringing the feeling of a weekend getaway to their living room, all year round.

Bottled with a sprig of rosemary and scented with lavender, ylang ylang and patchouli, this bath oil from Susanne Kaufmann is for mums who love spa-worthy baths. Rosemary has an antioxidant effect, as well as a heady and calming scent, so this nourishing bath oil will be perfect for a spot of Sunday afternoon R&R.   

Experiences and days out are the answer to finding a personal, memory-making gift. Enter: the ultimate Selfridges celebration experiences. Available at Selfridges London, Manchester Exchange Square and Birmingham, the experiences can be tailored to suit them. Whether it’s picking the brand to do their make-up or deciding between a massage and styling experience, the choice gets to be theirs, but the brownie points are all yours.

When it comes to celebrating generations, a vintage watch feels symbolic. Pre-loved (soon to be re-loved), our RESELFRIDGES Watches collection is full of rare, iconic and discontinued styles that deserve a new lease of life. A Mother’s Day gift that they will keep forever and remind them of you with every time-check.
