Courant Catch:3 charging station

I have visions of this beautiful charging station and catchall in my home. It effortlessly charges devices while keeping accessories and other bits and bobs safely organized. It would look grand and be convenient in an entryway, on a nightstand or on a kitchen countertop. It comes in five colors in leather and four colors in linen. It's pricier than your everyday charger, but it's so aesthetically pleasing and elegant that it's worth it.

iS Clinical Super Serum Advance

I am absolutely devoted to this powerful vitamin C serum. My esthetician recommended adding iS Clinical’s Super Serum to my lineup, and now I can’t imagine my skin without it. It's an oil-based vitamin C-rich serum that not only has the potential to help reduce typical signs of aging like fine lines, wrinkles and sun damage, but can help to reduce scarring as well. While it costs a pretty penny, it’s absolutely worth it and a little goes a long way, making it less of a financial burden than one might imagine. It's exactly the kind of skin care product mom might not want to splurge on, but will be thrilled to receive as a gift.

NuFace Trinity starter kit

I will never stop raving about the NuFace Trinity — it's a cult fave among beauty devotees, with good reason. It's an FDA-cleared microcurrent device that claims to gently stimulate the face and neck in an effort to tone, lift and contour facial muscles and reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles. Start on the lowest of five levels, if you need, and work your way up. The starter kit includes the Trinity device and the activating gel, which is just what you need to get going. Mom will love jumping on this celeb-filled bandwagon.

TheraBody TheraFace Pro

Therabody's TheraFace device uses the power of percussive therapy and much more to create an eight-in-one powerhouse beauty gadget. Gentle percussive massage relaxes the face, helping reduce jaw muscle discomfort. LED light therapy helps to minimize the look of fine lines, wrinkles and acne. A cold therapy ring decreases inflammation, while a hot ring claims to help ease pain and a cleansing ring gets a deeper clean for the freshest possible skin. Use it in any number of different combinations to target skin issues or facial discomfort with ease.

Paravel

Paravel weekender bag

I regret to inform you that this chic bag is as functional as it is stylish, and worth every single penny of it’s $295-and-up price tag. The construction of the bag is as good as it gets. It feels very sturdy and durable, which is a must when you’re making a significant financial investment and also when it will inevitably get quite knocked about during travel. The bag has convenient interior pockets, a removable and adjustable shoulder strap and strong top handles, but my favorite functional feature is the straps that slide over the trolley of your luggage. The bag comes in two colors, tan and black. I went with black, but it was a tough call seeing as both options are so refined and sophisticated. You can also add an embroidered or painted monogram or emoji in various colors and styles to customize it further.

Dyson V11 Animal cordless stick vacuum

There's a good chance mom is still devoted to her 200-year-old vacuum, but once she gets her hands on this cordless wonder she's never turning back. Everything about the Animal line of Dyson cordless stick vacs is designed to make life with pets easier and home care more manageable, but you don't necessarily need to have a pet to enjoy the benefits. I can't live without my V11 Animal, though the older models are also popular and effective. It has incredibly powerful suction and is even engineered to capture tiny particles like allergens and bacteria. A single charge of the newer V11 Animal can last up to an hour, which frankly makes it a pleasure to use. (With older models of the Animal, the charge doesn’t last quite as long, but definitely last long enough to clean whole apartments and smaller homes). It's lightweight, easy to maneuver and leaves my floors squeaky clean.

Dyson

Dyson Special Edition Airwrap multistyler

The Dyson Airwrap is the kind of gift that both hair care devotees and styling novices love. It makes drying and styling just about every hair type an absolute pleasure and is an investment that is worth every penny. A couple of years ago, my siblings and I gifted our very low-maintenance mother with her own and she actually shed a few tears of joy. It's worth the shocked reaction alone!

This classic YSL fragrance is as warm, cozy and comforting as it gets. It has notes of black coffee, white flowers and vanilla that feel refined and intoxicating, never too cloying. It's a modern take on a vanilla scent that stays timeless as ever. It's my personal go-to on rainy days.

Cire Trudon Joséphine scented candle

If your mom is more a candle lover than a perfume fiend, then you can't go wrong with any of Cire Trudon's delectable scents, though I am partial to "Joséphine." It has notes of Turkis rose, Egyptian jasmine and Chinese camelia with a warm, woody base of white musk and sandalwood. The hand-blown vessel features the brand's signature gold leaf, making it just as aesthetically pleasing as it is yummy.
