From leopard handbags to reconstructed vases, gifts fit for a matriarch

With the holiday season well underway, your mom just might have all her holiday shopping finished. Now, it’s your turn to treat her—these won’t make up for all she’s done for you, but you can make a valiant effort.

Yves Saint Laurent clutch

This ultra-luxe leopard-printed calfskin clutch is a true investment piece for Mom’s closet. Both timeless and on-trend, she’ll be able to carry it now and treasure forever—and, perhaps, eventually bequeath to you. The YSL evening bag is available online at YSL for $1,295.

Organic SPA Robe

This 100% organic cotton robe makes a failsafe gift item for a mother who could always use some relaxation and luxury in her life. We may recommend getting a pair so that dad doesn’t get jealous. Available at Pottery Barn for around $100.

Vase of Phases

With a name to match, the “Vase of Phases” embodies the beauty of experience in porcelain. Designed by Studio Dror, the vase has been smashed three different ways and then pieced back together to reinforce Dror’s ideas on purity, damage and transformation. The vase comes in black or white in three different sizes. Available at Studio Dror for $120-$135.
