It’s heeeeere! Out of all the gift guides I do, Mother’s Day seems to be my favorite. And no, it’s not just because I am a mom – I’ve been doing gift guides long before I had any children. It’s just that we women are hip and complex creatures and we enjoy cool things. (At least, that’s my two cents.)
SO, without further ado…let’s dive right in!
Peacock Pop-Up Card. First order of business: the card. You know it, I know it – it’s the most important part of the gift.

Paired with a nice summer tan she got when you took the kids for a few hours and let her catch up on some Vitamin D (whaaaaat?!). They are cute, and noncommittal. Remember, when Mama looks good, Mama feels good. Metallic Temporary Tattoos
Sunstone Ring by Colby June Jewelry. I’ve had a love affair with Colby June Jewelry ever since I ran a giveaway with them last year.

Latitude Longitude Meaningful Personalized Bracelet. One of the very best gifts I ever received from Greg were 3 bangle bracelets, each engraved with GPS coordinates: one from where we had our first date, one where we got married, and one where our children were born. I absolutely loved how meaningful they are, and I where them regularly. Do the same for her with these handmade bracelets. Latitude Longitude Meaningful Personalized Bracelet
Indigo Itajime Butterfly Silk Scarf. Much of the time I want to appear put together, but since I am constantly chasin small children I usually look more like I crawled out of the bottom of my laundry pile. Let’s face it: there’s not much time for styling these days. I’m always on the hunt for one simple piece with a pop of color to make me feel good, and this silk scarf is it. “Light weight, breezy and 14″x72″, Itajime shibori was applied (a shaped-resist technique) and then dipped in natural indigo.” All I know is it doesn’t require any special washing – a win in my book. Indigo Itajime Butterfly Silk Scarf
The Gatherer Handcrafted Vintage Bag from Peg + Awl. I’m a fan of stylish, functional, well-made bags that are not covered in labels, and this handmade do-it-all bag hits every mark on my list. “When closed, the bag is neat and tidy and a workhorse for everyday carrying, be it for tools, diapers, or daily hauling. Basket-like when un-zipped, the bag is a treat for small garden harvesting, going to market, picnicking or any kind of over-stuffing.” They had me at “over-stuffing.” The Gatherer Handcrafted Vintage Bag from Peg + Awl
Handbag Illuminator. If I want to send Greg into a rage-filled tizzy all I have to do is begin a sentence with: “Can you reach in my bag and find my…” He HATES rummaging. And I can’t blame him, because let’s face it: I can never find anything in that bottomless pit, either. Illuminate her purse, and save her hours of precious time with this purse light by NOOR. It’s easy-to0use and motion-activated, don’t worry – you won’t have to go looking for it. Genius. Handbag Illuminator

Handmade Reclaimed Wood Tub Caddy. I almost always include a tub caddy in my gift guides and there is a reason for that: they are constant reminders and invitations to take a bath and relax. And without those reminders, it’s easy for Mom to neglect this simple yet effective ritual. Bonus points for you if you run her a steaming bath, place her favorite book on it and a nice cup of tea or glass of wine, and take the kids for a few hours or put them to bed. “This caddy will cause skin pruning.” That’s my kind of product warning. Handmade Reclaimed Wood Tub Caddy

It’s the perfect addition to the bath that takes it up to spa level. (And if Mom suffers from sinus or allergies, they have a set for that, too.) Natural Vegan Bath Bombs

Suncast Garden Scooter. THIS is what the Garden Mama needs. It provides 8.5 gallons of rolling storage space and doubles as a comfortable gardening seat. It includes a small accessories bin for gathering produce or organizing supplies, along with a pull strap for easy transportation around the yard. The foam cushions can also be removed and used as a kneeling pad. And this scooter even has a pair of cup holders. (Think it will fit a wine glass?) Suncast Garden Scooter
Garden Genie Gloves. These things are cracking me up, with their “built-in claws.” But they are functional! The gloves are puncture resistant and the claws are made with durable ABS plastic to protect Mom’s fingers and hands. Garden Genie Gloves rinse clean keeping hands dry and clean. Now Mom can tend to her garden, and when the kids come bother her she can wave these babies around chanting, “I’ll get you, my pretty!” Garden Genie Gloves
Portable 3-Speed Turntable in Turquoise. A friend was just telling me how she had to explain to her kids what a turntable was, and here we are. This baby has built-in stereo speakers allow listening to music without having to connect it to a speaker system. Personally, if I was going to give this as a gift to someone, I’d be so jealous that I would want to keep it for myself! Also, I did a bit of research into record players and I came across products such as Phono Preamps that can be used to help increase the volume of your vinyl records if they don’t sound as loud as they used to. To find out more about this, be sure to do your research into sites like https://hifisystemcomponents.com/phono-preamps/, just so you can learn a bit more about it and the benefits this has on music. I thought this would be a nice little addition that they would appreciate, along with the record player.
She can have fun with this and show the kids that it’s not all about the iPod.

Women in Science Postcards. Lots of times all the correspondence and “kin-keeping” falls on a Mom’s shoulders. I think these “Women in Science” postcards are an awesome way to tackle that task, and an even cooler reason to connect. This lets Mom know you appreciate all she does, and all that women do – and allows her to help spread the word in a cool way. Women in Science Postcards

Himalayan Glow Natural Crystal Salt Lamp. Let me share a secret with you (listen in, Greg): this is on my personal Mother’s Day wish list.

And doesn’t your lovely mama deserve the gift of clean air? You’re damn right she does.

Dropdown Secretary Desk. Give her some space – some personal workspace, that is. With our second child came happiness, lots of love – but the loss of the only office space I had in our home. I’ve now resorted to a pile on our bedroom floor when it comes to my “workspace.” But this dropdown secretary desk is the perfect, charming way to reclaim a corner of my own. It’s a great project space where you can just close it and hide the mess when it isn’t in use, and can even double as kitchen storage. Made from lumber salvaged from barns in rural Missouri.
