Mother's Day Gift Guide
It’s hard times, and I dare to say that, in many cases, moms have been hit hardest. From working, teaching, parenting, cooking and cleaning to organizing, planning at-home birthday celebrations, scouring the internet for crafts, making 536 snacks per day, finding time to exercise at home and take a hot shower every once in a while, moms across the country have been BUSY. I’m exhausted just thinking about it.
So, for Mother’s Day this year, we deserve to be a little bit spoiled, don’t you think? I’m sharing some of my favorite ideas for moms everywhere, including some of my favorite local and small business mama brands - because don’t you think it makes sense to support mama-founded brands on Mother’s Day?
Flowers For All
I love love love these gorgeous petite bouquet wrap flower arrangements from House of Lilac, one of my favorite flower shops (and all around wonderful group of people) founded by Miami mama Melanie Fernandez. Maybe it’s because this is going to be my first Mother’s Day without my own mom, but I just want to celebrate all the moms in my life this year! At just $35 each, they’re the perfect gift to send to all of your mama friends. You can also customize your gift with adorable add-ons like candles, chocolate or my personal fave - this Rifle Paper Co Supermom key chain!
Personalize it
Would it be a Mother’s Day gift guide without something customized? I love these personalized name bracelets from Miami shop Roses & Dreams. This is such a sweet gift for mamas!
Also check out their perfect day dresses to look pulled together but also the comfort we all want. The Sarah dress is my favorite! The best part? Everything is 25% off right now and they ship nationwide. You’re welcome, mamas.
Cool Comfort
This one is totally on my wish list right now - especially given the amount of wear my loungewear has been getting these days! This sweatshirt looks so comfy and chic. And since we all hear “mama” about one million times a day anyway, we might as well wear it, too! You can find this on Etsy shop November and Mae based in LA, CA. They have TONS of adorable mama-themed tees and sweatshirts at amazing price points. Swoon!
Self Care Gifts
Of course no gift guide would be complete with some of my favorite clean beauty gift ideas for the ultimate in self-care pampering for mom this year. Every mom deserves some serious "me time" this Mother’s Day. These are my three favorite Beautycounter gifts for mom this year.
The self-care doesn’t end there. Give her these tools to take her skincare game to the next level. I love this gua sha stone from Primally Pure - it’s so relaxing and helps to flush out toxins and stimulate your lymphatic system. The roller also helps with puffiness and enhances the effectiveness of your products.
They both feel a-mazing.
At the end of the day, for all my joking and complaining, I feel beyond grateful for all of this extra time I’ve gotten with my babes over these last few months. And that seems like a pretty good gift on its own. Happy Mother’s Day, mamas. We got this.
