Mother's Day Gift Guide | 2019

April 30, 2019

Mother's Day is less than 2 weeks away--how did that happen? Where did that come from!? If your mom is anything like my mom, maybe she already told you, "Oh, don't get me anything!" But really, she means she'd love just about anything that reminded you of her (I'm getting my mom #2 and #8 below!). Or maybe you need an idea of what to pass along for what YOU would like for mother's day (I asked for #6 and #12!). Thirteen great ideas below:

1. Travel Cosmetics Case: Earlier this year, I treated myself to a new cosmetics case, one like this with a flat bottom and lots of slots for brushes and let me tell you--game changer. A true treat. $60
2. Gold Bakeware Set: to make those famous chocolate chip cookies even more photogenic, but also, these cookie sheets are actually the best. $39 (on sale!)
3. Super Mom Tee: Wear it proud. $48
4. White Nike Sneakers: My current favorite shoes that I wear with everything from jeans, to shorts to dresses! $75
5. Band Ring Cool and fancy and practical,  just like her. $18
6. Slim Bifold Wallet The kind that doesn't zip so it won't tear your receipts, but has all the card slots and change zippers. $78 (comes in 4 colors)
7. Lace trimmed Top  For summer nights out. $68 (on sale!)
8. Greeting Card Subscription I love sending cards--how amazing to have them sent to your home every month to pass along to someone you're thinking of. It's the gift that keeps on giving. (starting at $3.99)
9. Car Phone Mount Necessary. My phone is way too heavy for any of the magnetic mounts and this one is so handy to have! $13
10. Huge Ceramic Vase Spotted in Target last weekend. It's gooooood. And looks like a million bucks. Fill it with some fresh stems for bonus points. $24
11. Acacia Wood Tabletop Cheese Grater My mom believes that Italian food is the only food worth eating (haha!) and if you feel the same way then this beautiful grater is a household staple. It's so beautiful, too. I got this for Chris recently and it's sat on our countertop (or the table with fresh parm!) ever since. $14
12. Nude Scallop-trimmed leather Apple Watch Band An upgrade to the stock gray rubber band it came with! $42
13. Garden Kneeler $33 (on sale!)

  1. I've been coveting that watch but I bought the bigger apple watch and was so bummed when they only had it to fit the smaller.

  2. Love this gift guide! Just purchased the minted subscription & super mom tee for my sister and mom. Thanks for the great ideas!

  3. My initial thought when I first spotted the picture of that vase was that has to be Studio McGee. That is a nice vase for a great price!
