Celebrate the special lady in your life with Team HELLO!'s Mother's Day gifting guide

Mothers play the kind of role in our individual lives that don't deserve just a single day of gratitude and cheer. In fact, even an entire year wouldn't be enough to celebrate the joy, support and impact they have in our lives. But one day is as good a place as any to start with, wouldn't you agree? That's why we've compiled a gifting guide for Mother's Day 2025 that is suited for every kind of mother that exists; whether yours never skips a workout or she's the one you got your famous fashion gene from or she's the one who considers the kitchen her happy place and always whips up an amazing meal. 

20 MOTHER'S DAY 2025 GIFTS FOR EVERY MOTHER

1. For the one who deserves to be pampered

She's the one who puts everybody else's needs above hers. On this particular day, put hers on top with the K-ssence Head Ritual, driven by Lakme Salon's expertise. The 15-step full-service multi-sensorial, science-backed treatment begins with a detailed scalp analysis, followed by a gentle shampoo and an intense scalp cleanser to remove impurities. There's also a 5-minute galvanic brush massage, LED red-light comb massage, a refreshing waterfall rinse and much more like a calming hand massage. The session ends with a second scalp analysis and a professional blow-dry. Your mum will leave the salon with her hair healthier, shinier, and full of life after a self-care session like she has never experienced before. It is priced at Rs 6,500 and is available at select Lakme Salons across the country.

11. For the mom who knows that organic is the way to go

For every pimple or breakout on the skin, most moms resort to simple home remedies, especially those involving fresh malai or haldi. Our mom knows the best treatment for our skin comes right from nature. SUYU may have catapulted your mom's natural ways and not just for you but for her skin too. It achieved the same by using organic ingredient-based skincare and turned it into a lush gift box to pamper everyone, but mostly for your mom.

12. For the fashion queen moms 

Who needs comfort when you can have style? A perfect pair of Jimmy Choo shoes are set to make any mother happy. A pair of shoes that easily transitions from boardroom to dinner party is all your mother needs for her big day this year.  A pair of flashy silver pumps is the best way to make your mum happy – that and treating her to a night of dancing. These pumps are available on the website/online/in retail stores. 

13. For the stylish diva moms

Along with flowers and chocolates, give the woman who taught you all about style the perfect set of voguish shades she needs that won't only protect her eyes but also make her look like a diva while she is at it. Choose from the large range of Opium eyewear that is elegant, effective, and easy to use; they make for a meaningful gift to show appreciation and care. This oversized pair of sunglasses is set to protect you from harsh sunlight while making you look like a diva all at once.  They are priced at Rs 3,690 and are available on the website/online/in retail stores.

14. For the mother who enjoys simple joys

A mother's hug is the warmest, most endearing hug one can experience. Transcending weathers, moods and states, chai is more than just a beverage in India, as attested by every Indian ever; it is the closest to a warm hug. With VAHDAM India’s thoughtfully curated tea gift sets, their collection of teas promises to elevate this feeling into one of simple luxury. Sourced directly from partner farmers across India, their packages offer a litany of options to try from, with the largest one being VAHDAM® India Bloom, Assorted Teas Gift Set, Rs. 3,499, available at their retail stores, official website and on all leading e-commerce websites. 

15. For the eccentric mums who love coffee

Channelling the spirit of Italian coffee rituals, every mother who loves her cup of coffee before starting the day would be elated to have this BIALETTI DOLCE & GABBANA precious box with a 2-cup Moka coffee maker, two porcelain cups and two golden stirrers. Who doesn’t love romanticising the mundane and quiet moments, after all, especially those who rarely get the time to be by themselves? Boasting a unique colour palette of Sicily combined with folkloric, traditional elements is a real one-of-a-kind gift that is sure to hit the right spot. 

16. For the mum who is forever a beauty icon

While all mothers take on the responsibility of dressing their child very seriously, it is seldom the case that they apply the same to themselves. And so, we believe, a little nudge, in the form of gifts, goes a long way. With Anastasia Beverly Hills’ new collection that offers everything your brows, eyes or lips could want. Be it pigmentation, durability or texture, Anastasia delivers on them all in the form of their eyeshadows, eyebrow pomades and lipsticks.  

17. For the mum who loves understated dressing

While our mum’s wardrobe might never be in dearth of clothes for us to raid, however, adding a piece is always a great idea, especially because this one holds the sentiment of appreciation. Bringing together craft, culture, and textiles, Bunka Studio’s Mother's Day collection is built to bring out the simple beauty and innate simplicity of women’s clothing. The versatile silhouettes highlight minimal design and artisanal craftsmanship that is enduring and versatile. Head over to their collection and pick a piece–be it a co-ord set or a long dress—that might bring a smile to her face every time she wears it.

18. The quintessential quiet luxury gift 

Jewellery has always held a unique, sentimental value in our society, especially for our parents, who try to collect it as heirlooms so they can be passed on to their children. However, when the tables are turned, it is often a tear-jerking experience. Forevermark by De Beers Group embodies that sentiment and exudes it with each piece that they make. Natural diamonds, which are responsibly sourced, are one of the rarest gifts from nature, and also one to be gifted to a mother. Bound to stay for a lifetime and in the memory lane, their website has a lot to offer, with mindful pricing. 

19. For the mum who deserves something as timeless as her 

The legacy brand, Bvlgari, has remained relevant and coveted for over 140 years, and all for good reason. With their pieces epitomising elegance and timelessness, a gift from Bvlgari is promised to make the day even more special. Unveiling an exquisite collection on Mother’s Day, we are placing our bets on the B.zero1 Necklace to make for a memorable gift. Inspired by the Colosseum and featuring a studded pendant with black ceramic inserts, the necklace is perhaps the perfect expression of gratitude. 

20. For the mums ageing like fine wine

While most mothers embrace their age, there is always a voice at the back of our heads, hoping to be called younger than we are. Charlotte Tilbury not only acknowledges the thought but also offers a solution. With their Iconic Magic Skin Duo, they provide the perfect sheen and smoothness that every mother would want to get her hands on, even if they don’t admit it. Consisting of a Magic Cream that is a moisturiser, retexturiser and primer in one, as well as a Magic Serum Crystal Elixir that is infused with peptide, vitamins and niacinamide, this set is the one-stop destination to make your skin glow. Priced at Rs. 10,500, this skincare duo is available online and offline at Nykaa stores across India. 

21. For the mums who keep up with the fashion trends 

Mothers carry their world everywhere they go. But who said it couldn't make a style statement? The Bvlgari Serpenti Forever chain pochette with a captivating snakehead magnetic closure in gold-plated brass, gold-plated scales, and black onyx eyes is an eye-catcher for all the right reasons. One reason that will surely convince you to pick this as the perfect gift is its versatility, all while making sure she is the trendiest of all moms, no matter where she goes.
