Fancy, unique Mother’s Day gifts for mom who doesn’t want anything

- By Kristen Shirley Bloomberg

It often feels like a scramble to find something special to give mom on Mother’s Day. But after all the years she put into raising you to become the swell person you are today, isn’t it worth taking the time to find something she’ll treasure for a long time? That might be a personaliz­ed piece of jewelry, an ultraluxur­ious robe she would never purchase for herself, or a dreamy timepiece she can wear for years to come. Or treat her to something like an over-the-top, athome facial. You’ll find plenty of ideas in our Mother’s Day gift guide.

Briony Raymond Jumbo Diamond Zodiac Memoir Heart Locket

She can take a piece of your love with you wherever she goes with Briony Raymond’s Zodiac Memoir Heart Locket. The bespoke gold locked features a zodiac sign of choice amid floral and nature motifs. The heart is surrounded by diamonds, and diamonds are set within the design, too. The locket opens to display two pictures, and you can add extra customizab­le details if you wish. She can wear it on her own, or build a new charm collection. Price: $16,800.

Liberty Puzzles Sunflower

For an activity that brings the entire family together, you can’t beat a puzzle. Instead of a rectangula­r one with classic cutout pieces, check out Liberty Puzzles, which crafts wooden masterpiec­es with lively prints and delicate pieces in unique shapes. The Sunflower puzzle is shaped like a flower blossom, and the individual parts are miniature artworks themselves. Within it, you’ll find flowers, birds, butterflie­s, snakes, and more. Discoverin­g how they fit together is a delight. Price: $95.

Patek Philippe 7121/200G Moonphase Watch

Patek Philippe recently unveiled a gorgeous new moonphase watch, Reference 712½00G, in a stunning blue hue. This mechanical watch features the smallest complicate­d movement that Patek Philippe produces, so the watch measures just 33mm in diameter. It has a blue sunburst dial and matching blue alligator strap, with 18K white-gold applied Breguet numerals and 1.09 carats diamond on the bezel. The diamonds were set using the dentelle technique, which minimizes the amount of metal that shows and makes the diamonds even more brilliant and sparkly. At 6 o’clock, the watch has a moonphase aperture decorated with stars. Price: $42,580.
