Something Affordable:
Anne Cate’s Skyline Cosmetic Bag
Maternity breeds practicality. Sleek enough to slip in a purse and big enough to carry lipstick and cover-up, Mom will use these stark black-and-white handmade canvas bags ($20) every day. With more than 85 skylines, mothers of out-of-towners can start each day with a smile and a glimpse at a motif of a loved one’s new home. annecate.com
Stepping Up:
Oceanne Jewelry’s Nouvelle Lune Bolo
Cleveland’s French designer of minimalist jewelry solders together two forged brass discs to create a super moon bolo tie ($68) with a pendant that slides on a brass snake chain. Worn bare or under the collar, the piece, created in Anne Harrill’s Cleveland studio, keeps Mom in her rightful place as the trendiest member of the family. oceanne.net
Bountiful Bouquet:
Segelin’s Florist’s Magenta Mystery
Skip the grocery store castaways and plant the seeds of love with spring flowers ($169.95) that are truly a work of art. Roses, hydrangeas, hypericum berry and other magenta and green flowers magically mingle in a glass vase for a bunch specifically designed by this Carnegie Avenue florist to be a Mother’s Day delight. segelinsfloristandgifts.com
