These gift ideas are for the classy moms who deserve something no one else has.
It’s my very first Mother’s Day, so naturally I’m reeeeally into this year. Since Penelope’s arrival, my respect for mamas has exploded by a million.
Just like a mother’s love for their child, I wanted to find gifts that stand the test of time, showing moms how much they really mean to you.
TIP: READ the description of each gift below. Several of these items be used in multiple ways. There’s a lot more to them that you can’t grasp from the images alone. Lastly, since these gifts are unique, personalized and/or custom, be sure to order these puppies NOW so they arrive in time for Mother’s Day.
Happy Mother’s Day to all you mamas, fur mamas and mamas that aren’t mamas but want to be!
Something she’ll have FOREVER – For the mama who adores family over everything. A custom crest will be something she’ll have forever. Sent via high resolution, it can be printed and framed, used as artwork, turned into personalized stationary and beyond!
Major props to Kara Superfine, my favorite wedding planner, for introducing this to me to EJD Design. They work in the most thoughtful meaningful details too. In the example above, they used a blue crab to represent Maryland, where Kara’s daughter was born and her Godparents live, her son’s initials, their family monogram and even incorporated their sweet pup. I want to do this for Penelope!
UPDATE: EJD Design gave me more info about her watercolor crests! There are several different ways to work with her. And there are different price points depending on how intricate the design. But designs start at $250. From there, she works with her clients one-on-one to help with any printables such as social stationary, thank you cards and decor! Basically DO THIS.
For an effortless and chic summer – She can run out the door in a moments notice and still look stylish in these beautiful white slides!
A trend setters must have – This Chicago artist has exploded before my very eyes! Josh Young has been featured in Vogue, Oprah Magazine, My Domaine and even taken over Williams Sonoma’s Instagram. I have a feeling his art will be exploding in price as the years go on too. Just one of Josh’s pieces will gussy up her bathroom, living room or bedroom in a flash. Perfect for moms who like to be “in the know”.
To organize her daily essentials – the painted stripe and FREE monogram gets me every time.
The cult following product she didn’t know she needed – I once sat next to a very well known beauty blogger at an event. When I asked her what the BEST product is out there, she said “hands down Vitner’s Daughter serum”. It works magic on your skin. A few drops go a long way, it lasts a long time and you can ACTUALLY see the results. She told me it’s even better than the famous La Mer!
An unforgettable gift that’s made to order – This personalized deck of cards is one of those things you see once, you’ll see it EVERYWHERE. Featured in every glossy magazine I can think of, this is as timeless as it gets. It’s the perfect excuse for getting the family to play together and simultaneously sits beautifully on the coffee table. Tip: allow 2 weeks for delivery as each set is made to order.
She’ll never travel the same again – The best thing since the hat box! This hat clip and carry on will make any trip easier and keep her best accessory in tact! If you need something a little more, get her a stylish hat to go with it!
Instead of a candle, GET. THIS. – For an unexpected wisp of fragrance, these perfumed tassels are so neat! They make a statement by hanging them on doorknobs, closet hooks or even an armoire key. They can also tie-back window curtains or be draped on a bed. For a truly unique gift, you can even combine more than one fragrance!
Something she can pass on for generations – Doubles as decor and entertaining, these customizable backgammon sets are basically art. The Nantucket basket dice cups, especially, reminds me of my Mother In Law who took our entire family here! It would be the cutest thing to leave out on a table or bookshelf and of course play over a glass of wine or cup of tea.
Bring out her inner 1960s Palm Beach elegance – It doesn’t get any classier. This set can be perched on a bookshelf, used for entertaining or simply enjoying a moment to herself. If you aren’t up to date with the lettuce ware trend, read this. In collaboration with Tory Burch and Palm Beach potter, Dodie Thayer (famous to movie stars and several First Ladies), these Lettuce Ware Cup & Saucers have been on my wish list for years! I love them so much, I’d even drink my vodka sodas in it. Comes in pink and white too.
For moms who roll up their sleeves but want to look good doing it – I actually just bought this for myself and they’re even more STUNNING in person. A stylish piece for cooking, gardening, painting or even household chores. I love that you can still dress your best and remain intact enjoying life’s messiest pleasures. It’s made from 100% European linen and the pockets allow you to keep your tools and gadgets handy.
