A Thoughtful Gift Guide for Mother’s Day 2025

Mother’s Day always sneaks up on me.  As a mom to two college girls (and three very opinionated cats), I know this day lands differently for everyone. Sometimes it’s brunch and bouquets. Sometimes it’s quiet and contemplative. Either way, I always come back to the same thing: the women who raise us, love us, and teach us how to show up with open hearts deserve to be celebrated with care.

So whether you’re marking the day with a big family lunch or a simple phone call and a gift in the mail, here are a few beautiful, useful things I’d love to give (or get) this year.

1. Our Signature Brie Cake

Yes, it’s cheese but it’s also a celebration.
A round of brie, layered with seasonal toppings and finished with edible flowers picked from the garden patch, made to look like a centerpiece. It’s part cheese board, part art piece, and one of our favorite things to make. Best for:  the mom who loves to host, entertain, or treat herself to something savory and special.

Here she is all wrapped up and ready to be enjoyed!

1. Tuileries Tablecloth with Block printed Trim

One of my most coveted favorites from our beloved Maison Venu collection, the Tuileries tablecloth is a true standout. Its delicate vine motif—drawn from classic European florals—comes to life through hand screen printing, and the block-printed trim adds an extra layer of charm. It’s a timeless piece that instantly elevates any table, making it a beautiful and thoughtful Mother’s Day gift, especially for the mom who loves to entertain and make everyday gatherings feel a little more special. For Mother's Day we are offering 20% off all Maison Venu thru  5/11 (discount is automatically applied in your cart)

2. Brightland Bestsellers Capsule

These California-made olive oils and vinegars are little jars of sunshine. I love how they instantly make a weeknight salad feel more intentional, or dress up a loaf of warm bread. 

Best for:  the mom who knows her way around the kitchen or appreciates beautiful pantry staples.

3. Match Grande Candlestick

There’s something grounding about candlelight, especially on a quiet evening. This tall, elegant candlestick looks heirloom-worthy without being too precious.

→ Shop Match

4. Breville Citrus Press from Crate & Barrel

One of those everyday tools that quietly changes everything. If she loves fresh juice, or even if she just dreams of a slower start to the day, this electric press makes it effortless. Best for:  the wellness-focused mom, the gadget enthusiast, or the citrus-obsessed.

5. Aesop Resurrection Aromatique Hand Wash

Functional and pretty, this has been on my sink for years. The scent is botanical and grounding. Best for:  the mom who loves small daily luxuries and thoughtful design.

6. BaubleBar x Maya Brenner Initial Necklace

A soft, simple necklace with the option to customize. You could choose her children’s initials, or something entirely her own. It’s subtle enough to wear every day and personal enough to feel extra special. Best for:  the sentimental mom, the new mom, or anyone who treasures personal touches.

7. Miller Harris Tea Tonique Eau de Parfum

Fresh, soft, and beautifully unexpected. This fragrance is a blend of tea leaves, bergamot, and musk, it smells like a spring breeze through an open window. Best for:  the mom with a signature scent, or one who’s ready for something new.

Wrap It Up With Love

Mother’s Day doesn’t have to be over the top. Sometimes it’s a small gesture that says it best: I see you, I appreciate you. Whether that’s a round of Brie dressed up with flowers or a candle flickering on the table, I hope this list helps you find something that fits just right.

And if you’re reading this with your own matcha in hand and your cats (or kids) underfoot - happy Mother’s Day to you, too. We’re doing great.
