The Luxury of Thoughtful Gifting
A Mother’s Day gift should feel personal, considered, and lasting. Assouline books and library objects offer more than beauty on the page. They open worlds of art, travel, fashion, design, cuisine, and culture, becoming part of the home and the rituals within it.

What Books Are Best for Mom?
At the heart of the selection is Mother and Child, Claiborne Swanson Frank’s intimate portrait of modern motherhood. Through images of mothers and children, the book reflects the tenderness, strength, and complexity of this bond, making it a natural centerpiece for Mother’s Day.

Around it, other titles speak to the many worlds she may love: travel through Venice: La Serenissima, Kyoto Serenity, Peru, or Paris by Paris; fashion through Chanel: The Legend of an Icon, and Emily in Paris: The Fashion Guide; hospitality through Le Creuset, The Missoni Family Cookbook, and Swans Bar. For the mother who curates her home with care, Assouline’s library objects offer a considered complement to her collection.

When Is Mother’s Day 2026?
In the United States, Canada, Mexico, and much of Latin America, Mother’s Day falls on Sunday, May 10, 2026. It is a moment to honor the women who shape our lives with care, imagination, and quiet strength. A thoughtfully chosen Assouline gift offers a lasting expression of gratitude, one she can return to long after the day has passed.
