Each year come May, Mother’s Day provides a special opportunity to celebrate the light and love these individuals bring to our lives. Be it for mothers, grandmothers, mothers-in-law, or mother figures, trying to find the “perfect” gift for this occasion can be tricky; or, at least, it used to be. 

We tapped into our network of advisors to help you find something for anyone you are shopping for. From nailing the inaugural Mother’s Day present to finding that coastally-inspired item she’ll love, and, of course, gifts that she will cherish forevermore, below you will find a masterfully curated gift guide full of ideas that are sure to show her the extra thought and appreciation she deserves. 

Gift Ideas for the First Mother’s Day

Meet Amar Pal of Engel & Völkers Vancouver. This year, Amar’s wife will be celebrating her first Mother’s Day. With that in mind, he has you covered with 5 ideas to make her first Mother’s Day unforgettable.

1. Custom Book. A personalized book will never fail to show her just how one-of-a-kind she is. 
2. Matching “Mom & Mini” Sweaters. For all the aesthetes out there, a matching moment will never go out of style.
3. Tiffany & Co “Mom” Pendant. A gorgeous piece of fine jewelry is a timeless gift that promises to make her feel special—and what better time for that than her first Mother’s Day? 
4. Spa Package. Motherhood can be many things—give that special woman in your life the gift of time, relaxation, and self-care with a luxury spa package. Most boutique hotels have facilities that cater to an array of luxuries—be it a hot stone massage or an indulgent facial, pick one she would never get for herself at a local salon or spa. In Amar’s area, the Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel is the place to go. 
5. Luxury Bouquet. A bouquet of flowers is a classic Mother’s Day gift. With it, take the opportunity to support a local florist and extend the reach of your Mother’s Day celebrations. Beyond giving your business to a small business and your local economy, you are actively partaking in building a stronger, more connected community. 

Gift Ideas for Coastal Lovers

Meet Karen Hanson, license partner of Engel & Völkers By the Sea. Seeing that her career is centered around a love of the waterfront lifestyle, and making real estate dreams come true for her clients on the North Shore of Boston, who better to suggest a gift for the coastal lovers in your life than Karen? 

1. Starfish Motfi Bowl. She will undoubtedly love having a piece of the waterfront right at home with this ocean-inspired centerpiece. Local boutiques, like Mariposa in Manchester,-By-The-Sea, Massachusetts, are a great place to look for similar home accessories. 
2. Sealife Print. These prints go with every decor style and can be tailored to her unique aesthetic. 
3. Vintage Weekender Bag. This go-to boat bag is made from recycled sail cloth, so she can always have a piece of the water with her. 
4. Lobster Poem Crew Neck. A cozy gift that will show her your love with a sea-sational message.
5. Fine Jewelry. This Massachusetts-based local jeweler, Mahri, has many coastally-inspired pieces to select from that she will undoubtedly love. 
6. Weekend getaway. For coastal lovers, where better to spend Mother’s Day weekend, or any weekend for that matter, than by the beach? Plan a weekend at a fabulous hotel, like the Beauport Hotel in Gloucester, Massachusetts that she will never forget. 

Gift Ideas That Will Never Go Out of Style

Meet Jenny Vu of Engel & Völkers Newport Beach. Jenny has you covered with thoughtful gift ideas that will add a touch of luxury to her life, every day. 

1. Candle. Every time she lights this candle, she will be reminded of the thoughtful, cozy gift you bought her for Mother’s Day.
2. Fine Wine. Sometimes, a glass of wine is just what the doctor ordered. A bottle of her favorite wine will undoubtedly be savored, enjoyed, and appreciated. 
3. Tiffany & Co. Crystal Flutes. A little extra flair of style never hurts—especially when it comes to flatware. Treat her to these Tiffany & Co. glasses for an item she will cherish forever.
4. “LOVE” Bracelet. Nothing says “love” more than a “LOVE” bracelet. She will never want to take off this iconic design from the renowned jewelers of Cartier. 
5. Smeg Retro Coffeemaker. For the coffee lovers in your life, what is a more luxurious way to start the day than the perfect cup of coffee (and we promise she will appreciate how it looks on the counters, too)?
