12 Gorgeous Gifts for the Mom Who Has Everything

Every holiday season brings the same challenge: You want to gift your mama something she’ll truly love, except that she buys whatever she wants all on her own. The woman has everything she needs. Well, not quite. Here are 12 gorgeous gifts she hasn’t purchased for herself and is guaranteed to love.

1. Ballerina: Fashion’s Modern Muse by Patricia Mears

Tuck a pair of tickets to Swan Lake inside the cover of this gorgeous coffee table book for an extra-special touch.

2. Shani Darden Youthful Skin Gift Set

So she can give her skin some TLC every day of the year (or at least until she runs out). This set features a full-size Retinol Reform serum and two deluxe samples of the Daily Cleansing Serum and Daily Oil-Free Moisturizer for her brightest, most even skin tone yet. Not to mention it comes in a blush leather pouch from The Little Market (you know, Lauren Conrad’s chic fair-trade shop).

3. Chico’s Pearl Earrings and Glittering Bracelets

It’s hard to find something that sparkles as much as your mama, but these rhinestone-adorned bracelets and earrings certainly come close.

6. Birdies The Lovebird Slides

True, she probably already owns a pair of house shoes, but are they made of merlot-colored satin with a matching feather trim? Yeah, we thought not.

7. Nacre Lune 8 in Gold

Cabochon pearls are much more fun to count than plain old numbers, wouldn't you agree?

Buy it ($240)

8. Slip Silk Pillowcase

Queer Eye’s Jonathan Van Ness swears by silk pillowcases for preventing frizzy locks and keeping your hair looking as smooth as, well, silk.

Buy it ($85)
