Mothers deserve the best, whether it’s a cozy Sorel slipper she’ll never want to take off, a classic pair of Ray-Bans fit for a silver screen icon, or a deliciously scented candle courtesy of celebrity fragrance favorite Jo Malone.

Thankfully for mom — and you — all of these items (including a chic luggage tag and passport holder combo from a company founded by actress Shay Mitchell) are currently being marked down. (But, shh, she doesn’t have to know that part.)

Still not sure what to get for momma this coming Sunday? We’ve assembled a variety of elegant offerings that she’s sure to adore this year, from lavish accessories and snazzy cookware, to snuggly blankets to unwind in. The thought certainly counts when it comes to gifting, although a (stealth) discount doesn’t hurt either.
