Mother's Day Gift Guide
OUTFIT DETAILS (NON-MATERNITY - WEARING XL)
Mother's Day
Gift Guide
Mother's Day is coming up next Sunday (May 14th), so I wanted to share some ideas and inspiration for gift ideas if you're looking for some! I'm grateful for all the incredible women (many of whom are moms) in my life, so this post is dedicated to them and what I think they'd enjoy. This Mother’s Day feels extra special as I embark on my first one as a pregnant mom, but I want to acknowledge all the different types of moms, aunts, and parents out there. I know this day can be challenging for various reasons, and my sincere thoughts are with you.
If you’re looking for some inspiration, whether it be for others in your life or to send to someone for inspiration! I hope this guide is helpful with my recent picks and some other ideas at the bottom.
GLASS | FROM MY RECENT MOCKTAIL RECIPES
ROBE (WEARING XL) } USE CARALYNxLAKE
Starting off with this photo frame that I have in my cart, an especially good gift for grandparents or someone that lives far away. It connects to an app that you can keep updated with fresh photos. I purchased this vase a few months ago and I receive constant compliments, it’s definitely a conversation piece and looks good with or without flowers in it. It comes in a few varieties/shapes too! These eye patches are one of my favorite beauty/skincare splurges, they’re great for some extra love underneath the eyes for hydration and darkness. I’d like to single-handedly thank this mug for keeping me hydrated! They are heavy and constantly sold out but I think they live up to the hype. Here is a similar option for it as well.
This blanket will forever be a go-to gift idea, it’s always a winner in my book. We have accumulated a few over the years, and it’s our favorite year-round. These glasses are a fun update to everyday glasses and work nicely for mocktails and cocktails! Bombas socks are a fantastic gift idea. They come in a variety of sizes and colors and have a lifetime warranty. The best part about them? Not only are they comfortable but they also donate socks to those in need as well. I’m a big Lake Pajamas fan, I think their pajamas and robes are worth the splurge. I’m still able to wear my pre-pregnancy XL in the robes but recommend sizing up from your usual (I do XXL) in the pajama sets, especially if you plan to dry them (they’re cotton”). They have a bunch of maternity, nursing-friendly, and baby/kid items too! CARALYNxLAKE should still work for 10% off your purchase too.
Mother’s Day is always a great occasion to encourage a little extra self-care! I love all things Mario Badescu skincare, this face spray set is fantastic! You can either split up the set or encourage them to keep one in their car, office, purse, makeup bag, etc.! These ice globe rollers are another favorite, I love to lay in bed at night with a face mask and roll - it feels luxurious! This makeup bag is one of my recent favorites, it fits a TON and travels nicely. This Hotel Lobby Candle set is the ultimate splurge for a mom who loves candles, I’m not a “candle person” but these are my favorite, they last long, and are fragrant even when they’re not lit. One of my favorite no-fail gifts for sending to people (especially if I’m ordering directly to their house) is a Lula’s Garden succulent. They last a really long time too vs. a bouquet of flowers!

GIRL’S TRIP / SHOPPING DAY
Make her a little coupon for a brunch and shopping day. Bonus points if you take her to a bra fitting! More bonus points if you get one too. Details on how to locate a fit-focused retailer on this post!
COLOR CONSULTATION
I recently got my colors done at CreatedColorful.com. I’m a “soft summer,” and it completely changed the way I look at clothes and the way I get dressed. It’s such a fun, unique experience. I bought it for my mom for this Mother’s Day. I believe my code CMK10 still works!
PAMPERING / SPA DAY
Everyone loves a trip to the salon; consider a gift card to the place where she gets her haircuts, colors, nails done, massages, etc. It’s a great way to support local businesses too!
PLANT / TREE
I remember reading somewhere that one of the best Mother’s Day gifts they ever received was a tree/bush/flower that could be planted in the yard and watch it grow year after year.
SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE
A few of my personal favorites are magazines, Book of The Month, Rocksbox
