Mother's Day Gift Guide, Day 2: Disco Glam

Disco was more than infectious dance beats and slick club clothes; it was a lifestyle—and one that many people equate with the '70s more than any other moment. After all, who can resist all the glitz and glamour, from mirror balls to strobe lights, slinky maxi dresses, platform heels, medallion pendants and sparkly eye shadow? In 1976, Diana Ross’ “Love Hangover” hit number one on the Billboard charts and kept the clubs bumping into the night. By then, she had segued from '60s Supremes-era ingénue into a full-on disco diva, donning long glamorous gowns, big jewels, big hair and big attitude. Even if she missed it then, give mom a reason to catch a little Saturday Night fever with these Mother's Day gift ideas.

 

1. Minka Kovac Lamp:   A sleek yet playful retro piece may be the Mother's Day gift to take mom’s love of design in a new direction.

2. Glitter Platforms: She’ll never need another special occasion shoe with these tucked in the closet.

3. Hammered Cuff: Sure, it was big in the days of disco, but it’s also a jewelry statement piece that pairs well with just about anything mom puts on.

4. Vintage '70s Copper Pendant:  If she's accustomed to wearing diamond studs and pearls, this Mother's Day gift idea will ease mom into wearing more substantial jewelry.

5. Glass Moroccan Vase: With a light-reflecting disco ball finish, this vase is sure to brighten mom’s day, every day.

6. Jere Springer Pedestal Table:  A metallic tone can really pull a room together. This Mother's Day gift woud be a very cool addition to a living space or sunroom.

7. Metallic Clutch: A roomy, pretty evening bag that’s built for dinner with dad or nights on the town with the girls.

8. Halston Jumpsuit:  It may take some coaxing, but let mom know that her workout is paying off and her figure should be shown off in one of this season’s latest fashion trends: the jumpsuit.

9. Diana Ross Album: The singer's self-titled 1976 album rose to #5 on the Billboard charts and featured two singles that became #1 hits: "Do You Know Where You're Going To" and "Love Hangover". 

10. Oversize Sunglasses:  Even the flashiest disco divas opted for classic, oversize shades. We think mom would approve.
