Mother’s Day is right around the corner, and if you’ve let the calendar days slip by (like we did!), and need last-minute gift ideas, here are some ways to show appreciation for the mothers in your life. Finding the perfect gift can be challenging, so we’ve thoughtfully curated our top picks to inspire you this Mother’s Day.
Whether you’re shopping for a mother in your life or treating yourself, we are sure this guide will help you find the perfect gift that will make this day truly memorable.
1. Synik 26
Our bestselling bag in a (slightly) smaller size! Office or trail, commute or flight, the Synik 26 offers versatility and practicality for just about anything. The clamshell opening and rolling luggage pass-through make for the perfect travel companion for any adventure. Ideal for mothers who are seeking adventure or in need of an office carryall!
A charming little bag made for everyday essentials. It’s the perfect lightweight and flexible bag for day-to-day adventures or to store inside your larger travel bag as extra modular packing. This is the Mary Poppins’ bag of small bags; it's small yet spacious enough to fit all the essentials (plus a little extra!) It’s perfect for a farmers market outing, a craft bag for knitting and crochet projects, or as a personal item aboard a flight.
3. Pop Tote
The Pop Tote is the definition of a “Mom Bag,” an overly capacious bag that makes you question, “What in the world are they carrying?” And the answer is everything. Designed with a zip-top opening and distinctive snaps at the top, the Pop Tote is the perfect everyday carry and travel bag. These signature snaps offer versatility: unsnap them to maximize the main compartment's volume, or snap them closed for a stylish, inward-curving shape at the top. We promise it will level up your mom bag potential.
The Travel Tray is the ideal catch-all for accessories, charging cables, makeup and craft supplies. The Travel Tray is perfect for storing miscellaneous items that end up in pockets or on countertops. The great thing about them is that they include a drawstring which makes packing up easy. We’ve used ours as on-the-go makeup bags that can be easily packed up and thrown into any drawer, purse, or larger bag. Depending on your needs, it’s available in two sizes: Small and Large.
5. Nomad 11
The Nomad 11 is the perfect everyday work tote for the digital nomad mother. It includes a 13” x 9” device compartment that will hold most 13” laptops or tablets and internal organization pockets to fit a journal, snacks, wallet, pens and glasses. The Nomad 11 is the perfect little work bag for any mother–roomy enough to fit the work essentials but stylish enough to work as an everyday carry.
6. All Fabric or Clear 3D Organizer Cube
Ideal for minimalist mothers–the All-Fabric 3D Organizer Cube is a small, one-compartment organizer that can be used as a modular packing cube or worn as a minimalist crossbody bag with a shoulder strap. If your mother is an avid sports fan, concert-goer, or travel enthusiast, the Clear 3D Organizer Cube abides by most stadium clear-bag policies and TSA’s 3-1-1 liquids program. Attach a shoulder strap or throw in your larger travel bag or purse to keep things simple and organized!
A lightweight, endlessly useful tote that’s ready for anything. The Large Zip-Top Shop Bag is a mom-approved multitasker – whether she’s hauling groceries, packing for a weekend trip, or carrying knitting supplies to a meet-up. With a spacious main compartment, two deep interior pockets, and padded handles for comfortable carrying, it’s a gift she’ll reach for again and again.
A go-to shoulder/crossbody bag that is deceptively capacious. The Everyday Cubelet is one of our fan-favorite EDCs. It features a main compartment that fits the essentials–phone, wallet, keys, and more–as well as a slanted front exterior pocket with space to fit a small camera, chapstick, earbuds and whatever else you may need for a day out on the town. Like the 3D Organizer Cubes, the Everyday Cubelet can be worn as a crossbody, shoulder bag or thrown into a larger bag for extra organization.
The Parental Unit, our version of a diaper bag, is designed as a versatile catchall for new and experienced mothers. While perfect for diapers, wipes, changing pads, and bottles, it also offers plenty of space for water bottles, snacks and everyday essentials–baby items or not. It was designed to be stylish and discrete enough to not scream “diaper bag!” at every passersby.
