For Our Moms. Mother's Day Gifts: A Personal Selection

"My mom is a fan of classics. She loves elegant, palatial interiors, classical art galleries, and tea. The Queen of England could learn from her how to serve afternoon tea. That's why I usually choose elements of classic tableware, cups for the service she collects, elegant vases, a cake stand, beautiful serving cutlery, or loose-leaf Kusmi tea as a gift for Mom.

But I don't forget about design! When I want to give her something "designed," I reach for Alessi products. Steel is, after all, a classic material, and over the years, I've managed to awaken her love for this Italian brand. Especially since her name is Anna – just like one of their icons. Classic!

This year, however, I'll opt for a vase from the new Florita collection by Bergs Potter or the Lips gravy boat from my current favorite table jewelry collection, Les Objets Mouleversants by Serax. I think it will bring a smile to her face."

"If only I could, I'd give my mom a camper van so she could embark on a long journey south. And I'd love to go with her.

My mom loves to travel, so this year I've focused on gifts that evoke memories of beautiful places: a Ferm Living vase that looks like a giant shell found on a Portuguese beach, or Kalima salad servers adorned with Arabic ornaments, reminiscent of decorations from Morocco.

My dreamer mom will also surely love ceramic mugs and accessories made from natural materials, whose texture you can feel under your fingers: marble, clay, or stoneware."

Karolina from FormAdore

"My mom loves simplicity. She likes calm interiors, clean forms, and things that don't need unnecessary embellishments to look beautiful. But... she also has a bit of daring in her – sometimes something a little more striking, maybe a bit chunky or chubby, will appear on the shelf, breaking up the minimalism and adding character.

Recently, she fell in love with Botané flowers. Especially hydrangeas, which can stay in her vase for weeks. I also know she's on the lookout for a new plant for her collection – amaranth, which will be able to hang from her beloved Kink vase from Muuto and beautifully complete the arrangement.

I always try to find her something that fits her world – simple, but with character. And though she's never admitted it, I know she has one small, secret dream... the Damo cake stand from Ferm Living.

Who knows – maybe this year she'll get it?"

Wiktoria from FormAdore

"Mom... it's a word that contains more than the most precise description. Mom means home, security, warmth. But also elegance, authority, class.

There are also other aspects – more down-to-earth, less monumental – Mom means eternal attempts at baking cakes that usually didn't turn out, it's a warm blanket even in summer, because it's always cold, it's drinking gallons of tea and warm drinks because Ayurveda says so, it's long bike rides despite knee pain, it's mandatory coffee after every breakfast.

It's also thanks to Mom that I know that a true home is when there are cut flowers in a vase on the table."

Łukasz from FormAdore

"My mom is a collector of items with soul. Her home resembles a charming antique shop, where every "gem" has its own story, and in the kitchen, fine porcelain and delicate glasses reign supreme.

As a big fan of tea, she celebrates every brew, so a kettle with temperature control would be the perfect complement to her ritual, bringing out the depth of every leaf. In the evenings, she seeks quiet with a good book or by doing puzzles, which are her ultimate relaxation.

She spends a large part of the year among her beloved lakes, where at home she surrounds herself with natural, wooden accessories. I look for gifts for her that combine these two worlds: the elegance of urban unique finds with the raw, warm charm of lakes and forests. Perhaps this year it will be a designer wooden cake stand or a collectible cup that will make her mornings on the terrace more pleasant?"

"My mom is a person with an enormous sensitivity to beauty and an exceptional knack for what truly makes a home. She can build a space full of peace and harmony – not only by nurturing family relationships but also by the atmosphere you feel right from the doorstep. She gives it character, takes care of details, lighting, and small everyday elements, adding something that cannot be bought in any store – her warmth.

Thanks to her, the home lives and delights. It reminds me of peace, elegance, and a scent that envelops you and makes you always want to return. It is she who creates the atmosphere – subtle, natural, and true.

My mom does a million things at once, while remaining organized. She travels, discovers new places, and reads, drawing from it, and at the same time giving me irreplaceable inspiration."

Gabriela from FormAdore

"Most of all, I'd give my mom a trip through time – straight to the elegant 1930s. I imagine her strolling through the cobblestone streets of old cities or sitting in a charming cafe.

My mom has something of that era about her. She adores the style of almost a hundred years ago – dresses, hats, and berets, the delicate sparkle of sequins. She passionately uncovers the stories hidden behind the fashion and daily life of those times.

That's why, when choosing a gift for her, I think of things with soul. Things that have a touch of nostalgia and elegance, like songs from bygone years: a jewelry box lined with velvet or a golden candlestick from Design House Stockholm.

Because what my mom likes most are things that create an atmosphere: a little retro, a bit of literary sensibility, and a moment of pause with a cup of her favorite coffee."

Miłosz from FormAdore

"My mom's name is Marysia. Her style is simplicity combined with elegance; she likes classic solutions, intense colors, especially green, and subtle accessories that emphasize her
natural beauty and class.

In her free time, she enjoys reading books and spending time in the garden. Flowers, especially potted ones, bring her particular joy; she can be enchanted by every new leaf and a beautiful pot.

My mom loves to cook; the kitchen is one of her favorite places in the house. She always manages to surprise us by preparing delicious dishes, and her homemade baked goods are simply irreplaceable. I don't know a better cook than my mom.

She values moments spent with family the most; they bring her the greatest happiness. For me, she is not only a mother but also my best friend and a huge support every day."
