Gift Guide // Mother’s Day 2018


Gift Guides, Motherhood / Friday, May 4th, 2018

We’re approaching my first (official) Mother’s Day, and to celebrate I’ve curated a list of some of my favorite gifts, as well as some items I have my eye on (hint: Tyler!).  Besides some rest and relaxation (because ALL the Mamas need that!) what are you hoping your kiddos and/or partner surprise you with this year?

Made by Mary Bar Necklace // I absolutely love a staple jewelry item that’s wearable for everyday and holds a special meaning.  Everything this small shop puts out is perfection, but I’m especially loving these vertical bar necklaces.  Everything is customizeable, and great for special dates, or children’s names.

The Magic of Motherhood // The perfect book for the Mom in your life.  “The Magic of Motherhood celebrates your life as a mom—the good stuff, the hard stuff, and everything in between.”  It’s also really pretty, and doubles as coffee table decor 😉

Kai *Rose Eau de Parfum // I am SO in love with this scent, it’s my absolute go-to fresh Spring fragrance (I featured this line as a Friday Favorite just a few weeks back 😉)  Paraben, sulfate, phthalate, phosphate & gluten free, made in the USA!  *Amazon has the best pricing on this that I’ve found, at a 30% discount!

Fill-in-the-Blank Letters to Mom // These heartwarming prompts are perfect for little ones (and Dad!) to show Mom just how appreciated she really is.  Letter prompts like “Read Me when you need to know how much I love you” and “Read Me when you miss Me” will bring happy tears to Mama’s eyes.  Also love: Letters to My Mom: Write Now. Read Later. Treasure Forever.

Freshly Picked Diaper Bag // I’ve been straight up lusting this diaper bag since their Kickstarter campaign.  It’s like the prettiest, most perfect non-diaper bag diaper bag.  10 pockets, vegan leather, and wearable 3 ways.  SO CHIC!

Rifle Paper Co. Recipe Tin // For the Mama who cooks, this is the perfect tin for keeping the recipes she’s famous for!  Can’t you just imagine passing these down from generation to generation?  I love this idea!

Magnolia Table by Joanna Gaines // She’s what we all aspire to be, and now she’s written a cookbook.  The Mama in your life will L-O-V-E this gift, and I have a sneaking suspicion you’ll love the deliciousness it’ll produce.

Pop Socket // At the risk of sounding dramatic, this little guy revolutionized my world.  This is one of those items where you kick yourself for not thinking of it, and making millions.  If you haven’t heard of a PopSocket, it essentially makes holding your phone, taking steady pictures, and showing screen details so much easier.  This is a great add-on gift, and it comes in just about every color.

bareMinerals Dirty Detox Mask // This has been one of my favorite mud masks for almost two years.  I’m a sucker for a green face mask, especially one that works (and makes your skin feel oh, so fabulous).  For the Mama who doesn’t have time for a facial, and needs a little skin TLC, this is a gem.  This mask essentials kit is a perfect addition (and will save those white wash cloths!). *Buy direct from bareminerals.com and earn 8% cash back through eBates!

friday + saturday: mama hat // In Mom world hats are part of our uniform.  This simple Mama hat from friday+saturday will become her new fav.  Shop Here  at an adorable small business out of Fayetteville, AR.   (Also low-key obsessed with owner @KristenBlowers IG account…her pregnancy style is 💯)

Mother of the Year Coffee Mug // When I asked my Mama friends on Facebook what they were hoping for this Mother’s Day, an overwhelming response was for a late wake-up, and coffee in bed.  As someone who reheats the same cup of coffee about 5 times before actually finishing the cup, I wholeheartedly agree that Mamas deserve a hot cup of coffee!  I love a good coffee mug, and this one says it all 😊  Shop at Rock Paper Scissors (if you’re a Michigander this is one of my favorite Ann Arbor Shops!) or Here (for everyone else, with 2-Day Prime Shipping) 

Pink Plush Pom Slippers // If you read my post on the perfect gifts for the Mama-to-Be, you know I love slippers.  Every woman can absolutely use a cute, and comfortable pair of slippers, and these are SO adorable!  Check out my previous post for more of my slipper fav’s!

    1. The price is what has kept me away as well, but I’m considering it now because I rarely wear purses anymore these days! It’s kind of like a two-in-one 😉 Happy Mother’s Day!!
