Liberty Puzzles Sunflower
For an activity that brings the entire family together, you can’t beat a puzzle. Instead of a rectangular one with classic cutout pieces, check out Liberty Puzzles, which crafts wooden masterpieces with lively prints and delicate pieces in unique shapes. The Sunflower puzzle is shaped like a flower blossom, and the individual parts are miniature artworks themselves. Within it, you’ll find flowers, birds, butterflies, snakes, and more. Discovering how they fit together is a delight. Price: $95
Patek Philippe 7121/200G Moonphase Watch
Patek Philippe recently unveiled a gorgeous new moonphase watch, Reference 7121/200G, in a stunning blue hue. This mechanical watch features the smallest complicated movement that Patek Philippe produces, so the watch measures just 33mm in diameter. It has a blue sunburst dial and matching blue alligator strap, with 18K white-gold applied Breguet numerals and 1.09 carats diamond on the bezel. The diamonds were set using the dentelle technique, which minimizes the amount of metal that shows and makes the diamonds even more brilliant and sparkly. At 6 o’clock, the watch has a moonphase aperture decorated with stars. Price: $42,580
Macallan Distil New York
Add a covetable, limited-edition whisky to her bar with Macallan’s newest release, Distil New York. This unique whisky has sweet and savory notes that even whisky newbies will appreciate, and connoisseurs will appreciate the unique and complex aromas. Polly Logan, Macallan’s whisky maker, and the Roca brothers of celebrated restaurant El Celler de Can Roca in Girona, Spain, traveled to New York to discover the city’s essence, and then created a special blend highlighting the smells and sights (the good ones!) that stood out most, including baked apple, roasted pecans, and waffles. Price: $4,625
Carine Gilson Silk-Satin Robe
Parisian lingerie designer Carine Gilson is known for elegant designs crafted by hand from the finest materials (with price tags to match). This hand-sewn robe features appliquéd lace flowers inspired by Japan’s iconic cherry blossoms. The contrast of the pale pink silk-satin and the red lace florals is stunning. Complete the look with a matching chemise. Price: $2,630
La Mer Hand Treatment
La Mer’s luxurious creams aren’t just for the face. She’ll love this chic hand lotion, which is small enough to tuck into her purse and will look elegant on her nightstand, too. Its key ingredient is the brand’s proprietary Miracle Broth formula that uses the self-regenerating properties of giant sea kelp. The cream is deeply hydrating and improves skin radiance. Price: $95
Loquet Boy and Girl Charms
We love Loquet’s playful approach to charm jewelry. Pick a sapphire necklace, bracelet, or ring, then fill them with a selection of cheery charms that are meaningful to her. The London-based company just released three new charms in honor of Mother’s Day. There’s a gold Mama charm with pink sapphires tucked into the letters and two enamel charms: a boy and a girl. Price: $330 (Mama), $235 (boy), $235 (girl)
Dear Annabelle EMC Rose Notecards
Upgrade her thank-you notes with these beautiful cards from Dear Annabelle, a chic stationery line created by a former Town & Country editor. The EMC Rose notecards aren’t just pretty.

Givenchy Kenny Bag
The Kenny bag is the latest design from Givenchy’s new creative director, Matthew M. Williams, and nods to the Parisian couture house’s storied craftsmanship and edgy new direction. It has a double G-Cube chain with the maison’s logo, and the hand-draped folds recall the couture ateliers. It comes in a rainbow of colors, but we’re partial to the hand-embroidered mother-of-pearl version, which will shimmer and shake as she goes about her day. Price: $2,490
Clutch V2 Lightning Charger
If she’s always on the go, chances are her phone battery frequently runs low. The Clutch V2 lightning charger is small and thin—about the size of a few credit cards—so it can fit in her smallest evening bags. It has an integrated charging cord, too. Price: $49.99
