Mother’s Day 2022
The Gifts Your Mom Actually Wants
Well-vetted Mother’s Day present options from sons
You’ve got about three weeks to find a gift for that special lady in your life—Mother's Day is May 8th. But instead of thinking of her as the mom to whom you owe a phone call, think of her as an actual person. Is she the type of lady who appreciates the indulgence of a quality hand cream or delicious food? Is she the active type always on the move? Or does she adore (yet never treats herself to) luxe beauty products? The key is to think of the way she lives and then find something that would suit her. It's been a tough year ... let's treat our mothers to something special. Here are our tried-and-true gift ideas for every type of mom on your list.

Give Her Something Meaningful
Your mom deserves a lot. Treat her to something indulgent and luxurious this year. Jewelry is always a smart choice. Especially when it does good along with looking good. John Hardy has partnered with the Environmental Bamboo Foundation for a collection of pieces inspired by bamboo cane, made from reclaimed silver and gold. And for each piece purchased, seedlings are planted in Indonesia on your mother's behalf. Or you could get even more personal and surprise her with something that's set with a birthstone (hers, yours or a siblings).
