40 Mother's Day Gifts That Are Guaranteed to Make Your Wife Smile

Because she deserves it.

By Mary Alice RussellPublished: Mar 14, 2024

When it comes to buying a thoughtful Mother's Day gift for your wife, there are a lot of things to consider. It's one day where you can share your true appreciation for all that your wife does and offer her something that says "thank you for being the glue that holds our family together." That said, a greeting card with a cheesy message just isn't going to cut it this year. In 2024, show your wife how much she means to you and your entire family with a heartfelt gift she'll truly appreciate.

Here at VERANDA, we take the act of gift giving very seriously, so let us offer you some advice and options that we know she will love. We know that finding a Mother's Day gift for your wife isn't always easy, we've rounded up classic gifts like a bottle of perfume to more glamorous offerings like jewels. Here, the best Mother's Day gifts to buy your wife this year.

Desk Blotter in Italian Leather

For the mother who works from home, elegant accents in her office will bring joy to her every day. Elements like desk blotters, a nice agenda or pen are all meaningful offerings.

A well-made pair of heels goes a long way in this world, and we love Sarah Flint's approach to shoes. Thoughtfully designed by women, for women and handcrafted in Italy, these shoes are a timeless, stunning addition to your wife's closet.
