A short list of gifts for all the beautiful, intelligent, gutsy and creative mothers in our lives. Some elegance, some adventure. And of course we couldn't resist adding our favorite gifts from Anne Sylvain's spring collection.

For the Urban World Traveling Mom - a weekend in paris

Think she'd appreciate a little French elegance? Our favorite boutique hotel in Paris, Pavilion de la Reine, is in the center of the Marais but located in a quiet courtyard off the Place des Vosges. An ideal location to enjoy but also spend time quietly reflecting on Paris' fabulous creative energy. Dine at Clover. Shop at L’eclaireur.

For the Adventurer Mom - Trekking the Inca Trail or Scuba diving in HawAii

Maybe her thing right now is adventure. If so, send her trekking on the Inca Trail or scuba diving The Cathedrals off the tiny island of Lanai in Hawaii. Insider tip on the latter: rather than take the scuba boat from Maui, stay on Lanai where the crystal clear waters and white sand beaches are quiet and serene. Plus, Lanai puts her closer to some of the best dive sites. Four Seasons Resort, Lanai.

For the flower-loving, designer mom - not your typical floral arrangment

New York based floral stylist Lindsey Taylor captures the splendor of the garden in arrangements that present like works of art.
