Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour
Senior Market Editor
Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently senior market editor. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2020, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch 90 Day Fiancé.
While there are countless ways to express love and gratitude on Mother's Day, the tradition of giving flowers, jewelry, and spa experiences remains deeply ingrained. These timeless gifts symbolize appreciation, affection, and the recognition of the significant role mothers play.
The priority considerations for Mother's Day are your own mother and, if you have children, their mother, followed by any widowed mothers in your family, including grandmothers and aunts—but etiquette doesn't require you to include everyone. "Allow the rest of your family to take care of their own," says Swann.
The day is an event to honor the contribution of mothers, acknowledge the efforts of maternal bonds and the role of mothers in our society. Although, different countries celebrate the occasion on different dates, the common months of the celebrations are March or May.
Gifts like a pair of super warm fuzzy socks, soft button-down jammies (something with easy open access on the top, if mom wants to breastfeed) and a cozy robe are all great, as are gift cards for food or house cleaning to make life easier.
Giving a mother a day “off” to rest and recharge would mean everything to her. A day filled with self-care and no responsibilities is the best gift you can give any mom, any time of the year! If you are looking to give the gift of rest or sleep to a new mom in your life we can help!
