Mother's Day Gift Guide 2026 - what to get her instead of flowers

Flowers die in a week. What if you gave her something that lasts?

Mother's Day is May 10th. And every year, the same question - what do you get the woman who says she doesn't need anything?

Not another candle. Not flowers that wilt by Wednesday. Something she'll actually use. Something she'd never buy for herself because "it's too much."

We put together a gift guide of things moms really want. Tested by our own moms (seriously).

Mary Jane - the classic she'll love

The Mary Jane is a shoe that works with everything. Strap across the front, rounded toe, low heel. She'll wear them with a dress on Sunday and jeans on Monday.

Strawberry Mary Jane in deep red gets the most compliments. There's also Carmel for moms who prefer neutrals, and Cherry in burgundy for autumn.

EUR 173. Handcrafted in Poland from grape leather.

Mossy Pumps - ballet flats with personality

That little bow changes everything. Mossy Pumps are for moms who notice the details. The Chocolate shade goes with anything - cream blouse, brown coat, black dress.

Also in red and black. EUR 169.

Kitten Heels - elegance without the pain

Mom wants to look elegant but doesn't want to suffer. Kitten Heels solve that eternal dilemma. Low stable heel. Open back for warmer days. Pumps you can actually walk in all day.

Available in black, burgundy and silver. EUR 179.

Chunky Loafers - for everyday and beyond

If your mom is the "comfort first" type - these are her shoes. Chunky sole, soft grape leather, a loafer that looks good with a suit or with sweats.

Black or white. EUR 184.

Squared Mule - summer ready

Mules are the shoes you slip on in one second. Square toe, low heel, open back. Perfect for May through September. Mom will reach for them heading to the garden or out to dinner.

EUR 173. In black and white.

Glare Sandals - a pop of colour

Chunky platform sandals made from corn leather. Bold enough to make a statement, comfortable enough for a full day out. Also available in lemon yellow and red for moms who like colour.

EUR 179.

Slouchy Shopper - for moms who carry half the house

Big, soft, fits everything. The Slouchy Shopper is an everyday bag for moms who need room for a laptop, a book, lunch, and spare socks (yes, they still carry those).

In black, burgundy and chocolate. EUR 249.

Not sure what to pick? Gift card

No shame in it. A BOHEMA gift card is an elegant last-minute save. Mom picks the style and size herself. Delivered instantly by email.
