28 Mother's Day Gift Ideas From My Friends at Banana Republic, COS, J.Crew and More
Collage of Mother's Day Gifts

My mom, grandmothers, aunts, former dance teachers, and even my favorite Trader Joe's cashier are all on my list of people to celebrate this Mother's Day. As I've gotten older and reflected on all the adults who have influenced my upbringing, I've realized that Mother's Day is the perfect holiday to show my gratitude. Gifts come in many forms, but in true editor fashion, I like to start with apparel, accessories, and footwear. When shopping for the mother figures in my life, there are a handful of brands that stand out amongst the rest. Banana Republic, Jenni Kayne, Tory Burch, and Free People have the modern, yet stylish pieces that both my mom and I adore. For activewear, The North Face and Adidas immediately come to mind. And for accessories, I'd go for something as luxurious as Jimmy Choo or for everyday classics like Reese Witherspoon's brand, Draper James. No matter who you're celebrating this holiday, they'll love the following pieces.
