The Editor’s Beauty Mother’s Day Edit
Beautiful, useful, and just indulgent enough that she probably wouldn’t have bought them herself.
Mother’s Day gifts have a habit of veering into two predictable lanes: sentimental keepsakes or sensible upgrades. The real sweet spot sits somewhere in between — beautiful things she’ll actually use, but probably wouldn’t have bought herself.
This year’s Editor’s Beauty edit leans firmly into that territory. Think jewellery that quietly upgrades the everyday, mood-lifting fragrance — including INITIO’s aptly named Lift Me Up and the latest launch from Jayne Ormond — and candles from L’OBJET that instantly make a room feel more considered the moment they’re lit. There’s also a touch of K-beauty courtesy of Laneige, because no modern beauty edit feels complete without it.
And then there are the pieces that blur the line between beautiful and brilliantly useful — like striking cookware that makes even a simple dinner feel a little more elevated, or clever beauty tech such as the NIRA Pro at-home laser for mothers who appreciate results as much as indulgence.
In other words: thoughtful gifts she’ll reach for long after Mother’s Day itself has passed.
