Holiday Gift Guide 2012: Gifts for Mom

The gift guides are just going to keep on coming! Today we put together the best gifts for mom, who is always a tricky person to shop for. I always begin thinking about what I will get my mother for the holidays extra early, not because she is difficult, but because I really want to find the perfect gift for her.

Mothers have the hardest job out there, and that’s why we want you to plan extra early when it comes to finding a great gift for mom. Whether your budget is small or extra-large, we have some of the best gifts any mother would love. Check out our picks below!

Hermes Victoria II
$4,600 via Hermes

For mother’s day last year, I bought my mom an Hermes Evelyne, and she absolutely lives for that bag. It was probably the best gift I’ve ever given, not just because it came in a large orange box, but also because of how much she loves it. If you have the money and really want to wow mom, opt for the Hermes Victoria II tote bag in gold taurillon leather. Why will mom love this tote bag? The handles give ample space, 17″, which will make carrying easy – all mothers love that.


CHANEL N°5 Parfum Bottle
$325 via Neiman Marcus

If your mom is classic in every sense of the word, you can’t go wrong with a bottle of perfume. There are so many options, but CHANEL N°5 is recognized by everyone and anyone as a scent for a woman who has arrived. The bottle is a statement piece itself, and the smell is recognizable and feminine.


Gucci Women’s Gloves with Double G Ornament
$395 via Gucci

Classic and entirely chic, Gucci is known for their leather goods. A luxurious pair of gloves is a cold weather wardrobe staple, and Gucci has beautiful options. This one mixes suede and leather for ultimate comfort and warmth.


Theory Adriana Cashmere Sweater
$265 via Theory

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve come to appreciate quality materials when it comes to my clothing. I don’t want anything scratchy on my body, and that’s why cashmere is one of my favorite textiles. Theory makes beautiful non-logo clothing that works for all ages, so why not give mom a cashmere sweater this holiday season?


Oscar de la Renta Flower Buckle Belt
$550 via Oscar de la Renta

Oscar de la Renta is the ideal designer for every mom, from young to old. His knowledge of how to bring grace and beauty to every piece he designs for women wows me season after season. It’s hard to buy a dress for mom, but a belt that will be the center of every outfit with which it’s paired is a no-brainier. This belt is chic to the next level.


Yves Saint Laurent Arty Glass Ring
$290 via Net-A-Porter

My mom prefers statement rings and bracelets over earrings, and it turns out she and I are quite similar. I’ve been eying all of the different Yves Saint Laurent Arty Rings, and this dark glass version would be perfect for my mom.


Falke Cozy Bedsocks
$36 via Neiman Marcus

There’s nothing worse than having cold feet while walking around your home, and my mom constantly wears comfy socks to prevent it. Falke is known for their quality stockings and socks, and these Falke Cozy Bedsocks come in a variety of colors and look ultimately plush.


Bolshoi Santa and Sleigh
$390 via Neiman Marcus

If your mom is anything like mine, she loves decorating for the holidays. My mom goes all out and even though we are all grown up and don’t live in the house anymore, her Christmas decorations are still up come December 1st every year. For the mom who adores Santa as much as I do, give this Santa and Sleigh to add a magical mood.


Coach Legacy Leather Molly Satchel
$348 via Coach

Coach reaches many generations, from daughters asking for their first bag to mother’s buying their 30th bag. With so much to offer, Coach is built to meet everyone’s needs. I have been loving the Legacy collection, and the Molly Satchel pairs the ladylike look with top handles and the comfort of an optional shoulder strap.
