Mother's Day Gift Ideas
Although this Mother’s Day is quickly approaching (May 10th) and looking a little bit different this year, I still wanted to share a few ideas for the mama’s out there! Whether you’re shopping for the mothers in your life or looking for ideas to forward, I’ve got you covered. Here are a few unique ideas you may want to consider!
FLORALS: Ok, this may not be the most groundbreaking idea but did you know there are some incredible floral delivery options out there? If you’re able to support your local florists - please do so! But a few other of my favorites are The Bouqs, Urban Stems and ProFlowers.
2. A FUN FIND FROM Anthropologie’s Mothers Day Shop: I’ve been getting a lot of inspiration from Anthro’s website lately. From this monogrammed journal, to this teapot and this citrusy apron, they’ve got tons of great little trinkets and ideas surely she’ll love. Here are a few more favorites:
3. MOTHER’S DAY BOX FROM Equilibria: In case you’re not familiar with Equilibria, you can read more about my CBD experience here. In short, it has truly helped me so much- I love this Mother’s Day bundle they’re offering complete with a Dynamic Roller Duo (75mg CBD per 10ml), Mindful Mineral Soak (50mg CBD per 2oz) and a Balance Bath Bomb (50mg CBD). It comes in a really nice gift box (see below) so you can ship it right to her. You can use “caralynmirand” for a discount off of your first purchase. To shop their other products, view them here!
4. SELF CARE / BEAUTY FAVORITES: For previous Mother’s Days, my mom would always ask for re-stocks of her favorite makeup + skincare product. I’ve stocked up on gifts from the Sephora Sale, here are some ideas of items she might love like Living Proof’s Hair Detox Kit, a silk Slip pillowcase, Voluspa Mini Candle Set or a mini fragrance.
5. FRESH RECIPE INSPIRATION: I’m sure I’m not alone when I say that I’ve been cooking more than I ever have and I’ve been struggling with feeling inspired! There’s something nice about a hardcover cookbook, being able to have it on the counter and tab the pages. Here are a few of my favorites that I’ve been using / thinking about getting. Top it off with a fun set of hand towels like these or these to complete the gift!
6. DNA TEST KIT FOR MOM OR HER FURRY FRIEND: I took this test a couple years ago and it’s truly enlightening to find out where you’re from and health traits that I carry- it was a cool experience overall, highly recommend! If your mama is a pet lover, I had Walter take this test about a year after we rescued him thinking he was a mix. Turns out he’s 100% American Staffordshire Terrier. Definitely a fun and unique gift that she’ll treasure.
7. PAJAMAS FROM Soma: I kid you not, once you try these Cooling Nights Pajamas- you’ll never want to go back to any others! They were created to keep you cool and dry all night long. The pajamas are available in a wide variety of styles from matching sets to nightgowns, these will not disappoint. For sizing reference, I usually wear a large (but sometimes size up to XL in button down tops).
Still stumped? Think about what she likes to do and try to find something that makes that activity a little better/easier! Does she enjoy a nice glass of wine? What about a wine delivery or an electric bottle opener? Feel free to leave any ideas below- the more the merrier!
Thinking about ALL of the mamas (expecting, hopeful, pet, etc.) out there. Whether you’re able to be together or not - be sure to reach out and let them know you’re thinking of them. xx CMK
