Everyone and their mother has probably received one of these garlands on auspicious occasions. The craftsmanship for the wreaths are usually overlooked and thrown away as soon as the flowers show signs of wilting. If your mom is a stickler for tradition, the wreaths from 1000 Malai are here to impress. With sleek and modern designs, these garlands are a combination of traditional weaving techniques, intriguing textiles, and eye-catching bead work—ensuring that they’re more than a token of affection and something your mom can repurpose.

From the likes of Sarah Jessica Parker to Peggy Gou, Pacharee’s chain has got a chokehold on all the it girls and boys. Rising in popularity after their Pearl Floret Cluster Ring was sported by the one and only Carrie Bradshaw in “Sex and The City” Spin Off, “And Just Like That…”, Pacharee’s accessories will slip right into fans of the show’s everyday statement jewelry collection. Their alphabet necklace also adds a cute personal touch to the gifting experience.

Touted for their relaxing essential oils and cream, Panpuri’s latest Everlasting Bloom Set comes just in time for Mother’s Day. The box also comes with a scarf fashioned into a garland and incorporates jasmine scented products—the flower of Mother’s Day—to signal the special occasion.
