Curated by Katie Ginella
As a mom, golf lover, and someone who lives for the little luxuries that elevate the everyday, I know how meaningful it is to receive something thoughtful—especially on Mother’s Day. Whether your mom is the heart of the home, the star of the ladies’ league, or the kind of woman who appreciates a little self-care after 18 holes, this gift guide is designed with her in mind.
I’ve spent years covering golf destinations, tournaments, and lifestyle trends—and yes, you may have seen a little glimpse of my life on The Real Housewives of Orange County. But no matter the setting, I’ve always believed that the best gifts are the ones that make us feel seen, celebrated, and a little bit spoiled.
Here are a few of my favorite Mother’s Day picks for women who deserve the world—and a touch of well-earned indulgence.
Alo Yoga Cropped Micro Plisse Jacket in Pink Quartz
This jacket has become one of my go-tos. It’s the perfect layering piece when I’m stretching before a round or grabbing a post-golf smoothie. The pleated texture and soft pink hue strike that perfect balance between sporty and polished—something every mom can appreciate. Bonus: it folds easily into a golf bag and transitions seamlessly from tee box to lunch table.
Voyage Et Cie Limited Edition Roses Classic Candle
This is more than a candle—it’s a vibe. I light mine after a long day, and it instantly transforms the space. The scent is soft, fresh, and feminine without being overpowering. It’s perfect for creating a little sanctuary at home, whether she’s soaking in the tub or hosting friends for an elegant lunch.
111SKIN Celestial Black Diamond Lifting and Firming Mask
Let’s be honest—sun, wind, and all those rounds outdoors can take a toll on our skin. I discovered this mask during a spa day and never looked back. It’s luxe, yes, but it also works. After using it, my skin feels lifted, hydrated, and refreshed—just the way I want to feel heading into a busy week.
Aquazzura Sandals
These are a total showstopper. I’ve worn them to dinner parties, club events, and yes, even on vacation après-golf. They’re elegant, comfortable, and the perfect statement piece without ever being too much. For the mom who commands a room with grace, these are the shoes she didn’t know she needed.
“Dogs and Women Allowed” by Emma Briggs
This book brought me a delightful blend of humor, heart, and relatable reflection. Emma Briggs has a way of capturing the chaos and charm of womanhood, relationships, and yes—golf life adjacent—with wit and warmth. It’s the kind of book you breeze through on a long flight or while sipping something chilled after 18 holes. Whether she’s navigating the driving range or family life, the mom in your life will appreciate Briggs’ witty storytelling and honest insights.
“The Muni” by On & Off the Course Fragrances
This scent is a hidden gem. “The Muni” channels that earthy, crisp air feeling you get on the first tee of your favorite local course—but somehow makes it elegant. It’s green, clean, and subtly sporty without being obvious. I love wearing it for early tee times, casual club days, or even errands. It’s unique and a little unexpected—just like the best moms.
Luxury Cruise with PerryGolf
This is the ultimate gift—for the mom who’s earned something bucket-list-worthy. PerryGolf combines luxury cruising with rounds at world-renowned courses, and it’s an experience that checks every box: fine dining, unforgettable views, top-tier golf, and a little adventure. I’ve followed their itineraries for years, and they’re the real deal. If you want to give her a story to tell for a lifetime, this is it.
On-Course from A. Putnam
A. Putnam is my go-to for women’s golf apparel that actually fits a woman’s lifestyle—on the course and off. Their pieces are designed with flattering lines, high-performance fabrics, and a modern aesthetic that feels polished but never stuffy.
Mother’s Day is about honoring the women who hold it all together—with grace, humor, and heart. Whether you’re gifting a little luxury or just gathering ideas for your own wish list, I hope this guide inspires something beautiful.

Because she deserves nothing less.
