10 Best Purses and Wallets to Gift for Mother’s Day—From Designer to Budget Picks

Mother’s Day is right around the corner, and let’s be honest—after all the years moms have spent hauling our snacks, tissues, and questionable art projects, the least we can do is upgrade their purse game. While chocolate and brunch are classics, nothing says "I appreciate you, Mom" quite like a gorgeous new handbag or wallet she’ll carry every day.

If you’re searching for something both practical and stylish, check out these 10 standout picks that are bound to make your mom’s jaw drop (in a good way):

Michael Kors Kensington Large Leather Tote—Original price: $358. This luxe leather tote from Michael Kors is basically the Swiss army knife of handbags—spacious, loaded with compartments, and available in a rainbow of colors. Ideal for organized moms or those who treat their purse like a bottomless pit (no judgment).

Kate Spade Pebbled Medium Satchel—Original price: $378. This satchel blends tote space with crossbody structure, plus it comes in a neutral taupe shade so it matches literally anything. But if your mom's the type who packs for every scenario—try the roomier Grace style from Nordstrom.

Coach Tabby Wristlet. The Tabby is a multitasker: wear it as a clutch for date night, or as a crossbody for hands-free errands. It's on-trend with its pillow quilting and comes in spring pastels. If your wallet is looking at you with panic, Amazon has similar styles for less—though you might lose the Coach bragging rights.

Fossil Fiona Crossbody. Classic, durable, and roomy without being bulky, the Fiona is perfect for moms always on the move. Amazon's version comes with painted flowers, while Walmart offers a timeless brown for those keeping it simple.

Lo & Sons Pearl Crossbody. Genuine leather, lots of compartments, and a detachable strap—this one’s for the minimalist, modern mom. Plus: select colors are on sale, so you might score a deal that’ll make you look like a savvy shopper.

Balenciaga Classic City Bag. Warning: this is a splurge. But if your mom’s a fashionista, it’s the ultimate luxury accessory. Smaller versions and neutral shades are available if you want to save a few bucks (well, maybe more than a few).

Ralph Lauren Large Zip Continental Wallet. With a zip-around closure and plenty of pockets for cards, coins, and receipts, this wallet is a lifesaver for the mom who treats her purse like a portable filing cabinet. Get it in a bold color, or splurge on a matching satchel for a coordinated look.

Fossil Logan Wallet. Designed for organization and security, this wallet has RFID blocking, tons of card slots, and a zippered coin pocket. If you want the same style but cheaper, Wrangler’s version on Amazon is a steal at under $23.

Coach Chain Tabby Shoulder Bag. A compact favorite, this bag’s fun denim finish and adjustable strap mean it can go from day to night with zero effort. Want something even more budget-friendly? There are similar looks on Amazon for less than $20.

From high-fashion to practical everyday accessories, these picks cover every style and budget. Just remember, while the perfect purse is great, what really matters is the love (and maybe that you finally stop borrowing hers).
