As some of you know, my mom has had a rough year and even though we’re still working through things day by day, I’ve never been prouder of her for continuing to push herself every day. She’s the strongest women I know and if I could, I’d give her the world on a silver platter. And even though I know materialistic things don’t matter to her, sometimes you just need to give in a little and pamper her – because let’s be honest, someone has to and I know it won’t be her!
This is the second year I’m celebrating not one, but two of the greatest mama’s I know – my mom and my sister (the little girl you see in my Insta stories is my beautiful niece, Beverly, who if you haven’t already noticed, you’ll be seeing a lot of. I mean, can you blame me?).
That said, I’ve pulled together a Mother’s Day gift guide that covers a wide range of mom types – including this girl who’s not even a mom 😁. I hope you can find something in here for the #1 lady in your life and if you find something that you love for yourself, that’s okay too!
For the Foodie Mom
1) Cutest Popcorn Bowl: Fill with popcorn, sea salt and her favorite movie (or movie theater gift card) | 2) Hayes Marble Serving Board with Handles: Gift with cheese and crackers (love the cheese from Trader Joe’s or Eataly) | 3) French Kitchen Marble Wine Cooler: Pair with her favorite wine | 4) The Cutest Lunchtote: Stuff with a personalized lunch note and her favorite chocolate or the Hydroflask water bottle I mention below (Bonus tip: join the mailing list for 15% off & free shipping. Also shop different versions here and here) | 5) Bodum Eileen 8 Cup French Press Coffee Maker: Pair with her favorite coffee/tea or the following cutie mug! | 6) Monogrammed Porcelain Floral Mug 16oz
For the On-the-go Mom
1) Duffel Bag: LOVE this duffel. It comes in other colors and is a great price for the space and quality! (Bonus tip: Shopping for a new mama? Stuff it with diapers!) | 2) ‘Charge 2’ Wireless Activity & Heart Rate Tracker: I love my Fitbit and it really does motivate me to step up my step game – it could be a fun competitive gift (if you have one as well) and great for her health! 3) Portable charger (also like this one) | 4) Hydroflask Water bottle – This is my favorite water bottle ever. Does anyone else’s mom have a hard time remembering to drink water? It seems to run in my family, we all hate water haha, but this water bottle keeps my drink extra cool so it makes it a bit easier! | 5) Ultimate Strength Hand Salve | 6) Her Favorite Travel Size Perfume (mine is Tory Burch)
For the Spa-Obsessed Mom
1) Slip Silk Sleep Mask | 2) Silk Pillow Case (less pricey option here): Bonus tip – The silk sleep mask and pillow case is known for its anti-aging benefits and the pillow helps smooth unruly hair. | 3) Jade Roller: This is all the rage lately – put it in your freezer and use every morning to de-puff, shrink pores and energize your face. | 4) Crossback Tank & Pant Pajama Set | 5) Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate: A little sneak-peak into my night skincare routine (and soon to be my mom’s!). This stuff is amazing – it has a soothing lavender scent and you wake up with a hydrated, plump face. | 6) Candle: I mean, who doesn’t love a good candle always – I love Anthropologie’s! Pair with a good summer reading book.
For the Fashionista and Beauty Lover
1) You can never go wrong with her fave perfume (my mom’s is Chanel) | 2) Yves Saint Laurent Nude lip kit: Perfect transition into summer. | 3) Blouson Midi Dress (available in different colors!) | 4) Cameron Street Stacy Wallet: Available in different colors (Polish tradition alert: Make sure you add at least $1 into the wallet for good luck. Also, if you join the mailing list you’ll get 15% off & free shipping.) | 5) Initial Charm Necklace: I found this through one of my favorite bloggers, Lauren McBride (a must follow for new moms – she gives great tips!). It’s a perfect everyday wear and great layering piece. | 6) Kate Spade New York: SHE: The perfect coffee table book that celebrates fifty of some of the most iconic women including spirited quotes and profiles, and amusing anecdotes – so inspiring!
