What to Get Her for Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day is coming up quick and I have some great gift ideas for any mom, grandma, or just someone special in your life. You’ll find the perfect products for a little pampering, gifts for the mom who craves adventure, and so much more! Many also have an eco-friendly component so you can feel good about minimizing the environmental impact of your gift. If you tend to be a last minute gift giver, a few are even available on Amazon prime or via express shipping.

Read on for the guide…

1. Dainty Gold Rings Mom Will Love: Show her you care with a delicate gold ring (or three!) from AU-Rate. I have three of their dainty gold rings that I’ve gifted myself (self-care right?!) and I love wearing them together on each of my three middle fingers. With 14- or 18-karat gold options, these are truly heirloom pieces that she will cherish. You can go as simple as a plain gold band to something with a little sparkle thanks to added diamonds or precious gems. The quality of AU-Rate jewelry is truly exceptional and all of it is handmade in NYC. Their made-to-order model cuts out the middle man so you can get fine jewelry without the markups. That makes this gift both beautiful and practical.
2. Marley Get Together Duo Speakers: We are obsessed with House of Marley products. We have their headphones and Bluetooth turntable and just added these Get Together Duo Speakers to our collection. These speakers pair seamlessly with our turntable to give a great surround sound experience even in the backyard. They also work great with a laptop or even a phone. Each speaker boasts a 20W rating with 3.5″ woofers and 1″ tweeters for high-quality bass and audio clarity. The speakers give 20 hours of playtime from the left and the right plugs into a wall. They are compact enough to fit on her desk, on a kitchen counter, or even the backyard if you have an outdoor outlet. We also love the eco-friendly approach.  They use Earth-kind materials such as solid bamboo, and plastic-free packaging. 
3. Evermill Spice Rack: If your mom is as obsessed with organizing as I am, she’ll love a beautiful spice management system from Evermill. I literally spend hours watching those Instagram organization accounts and now I finally have something to organize my own spices in a beautiful way. There are two options – a rack or a drawer insert and 12 or 18 spices. Evermill goes beyond organization – they also offer milled-to-order spices with their sets. The dark amber-hued jars protect spices from heat and light. I feel like they’ve thought of every aspect of the design because the wide mouth jars are large enough for a spoon. Genius! They also offer a text-to-refill option to keep her spice cabinets always stocked. If you’re looking for a gift last-minute, they also offer express shipping and even same-day delivery in LA, SF, and NYC.
4. Schott Zweisel Vervino All-Purpose Wine Glasses: I love the versatility and durability of these beautiful all-purpose wine glasses by Vervino. The thin-walled bowl, fine stem, and wide foot are stunning to look at and even nicer to hold. This gift of precision-crafted, German-made Schott Zweisel glass plus titanium-reinforced Tritan Crystal technology is truly the ultimate gift for a wine lover. As if that’s not enough, they are also dishwasher-safe. 
5. Plaine Haircare Zero Waste Starter Kit: A gift from Plaine Products is something anyone will appreciate, especially Mother Earth! Plaine is a company on a mission to save the world from plastic pollution, one bathroom at a time. Their line of personal care products, including hair and skincare, arrive in refillable, reusable containers. They have a system to clean, refill and send containers back out again. Plaine Products are completely vegan, Leaping Bunny certified, and made in the USA. The perfect introduction to Plaine products is their Zero Waste Starter Kit.
6. Smithey Carbon Steel Farmhouse Round Roaster: For the mom who loves to cook, a carbon steel pan from Smithey is the gift that keeps on giving. Each pan is hand-forged by expert blacksmiths making each one completely unique. Each round roaster has hand-hammered handles with a texture designed for easy gripping and a beautiful pre-seasoned interior finish. The first time I picked ours up, I literally gasped at the heft and how amazing it feels. Despite that it’s still much lighter and easier to manage than a similarly-sized cast iron skillet. It’s the perfect combination of durability with a non-stick surface, and they are built to last forever.
7. Wine Insiders Wine Insider Club: Whether your mom is a wine connoisseur or a casual imbiber, she’ll love a membership to The Wine Insider Club. They have an amazing starting offer right now that works out to just $5.93/bottle! Every 12 weeks she’ll be reminded of how much you care when her next shipment arrives. Wine Insiders also offers single bottles and curated packs, all of which have tasting notes and customer reviews.
8. Enro Masks InBloom Face Mask: I feel like we’re all at that point in the pandemic where we need a refresher of our face mask collection. If you follow me on Instagram, you know that Enro makes my favorite face masks. They are the best I’ve ever tried in terms of fit, comfort, and design. I also love that they have several sizes for both youth and adults to make sure everyone has the perfect fit. You can get 10% off your mask purchase with my code ‘KELLY10’.
9. Fortessa Malcolm Glassware: Some of our happiest memories happen around the table. Add some beauty to hers with glassware from Fortessa.  I love the heft and design of their beautiful Malcolm glassware. The glasses come in clear, pink, cornflower, pool blue, gray, and amber. I love the geometric details and textural beading and soft colors so much I bought two sets of the 11.5-ounce and two of the 15-ounce size to display on the open shelves once our kitchen is remodeled!
10. Tiffany Riffer Handmade Soap: Give mom the luxurious gift of handmade artisan soap from Tiffany Riffer. A lawyer turned soapmaker, Tiffany makes cold-pressed soaps that are not just beautiful but also practical. Your mom will love fragrances like lavender, grapefruit & basil, cherry blossom, and vanilla. Each bar is absolutely beautiful – like works of art. Tiffany’s soap is plant-based, with the occasional use of honey. Choose a couple of bars or get a soap gift set that includes two bars of soap, a soap dish, and a soap scrub bag.
11. Divine Chocolate Dark Chocolate Lovers Variety Pack: If you’re not sure what to get your mother, you can’t go wrong with an assortment of chocolate. Ethically produced, Divine Chocolate is made with cocoa from Ghana, grown by the farmer members of Kuapa Kokoo. Kuapa Kokoo is a co-operative of cocoa farmers with over 85,000 members, over a third of whom are women. The co-operative emphasizes equal participation and equal access for women in cocoa farming, who have traditionally owned smaller farms and have less access to education compared to their male counterparts.
12. Silhouette Africana Headwrap and Contoured Face Mask Combo: Silhouette Africana is a BIPOC, woman-owned small business. They inspire women to embrace couture Africana and express themselves using African Prints. Their goal is to help busy women feel gorgeous by accessorizing their outfits with African Print Accessories and fabric. I love this beautiful headwrap and its matching reversible face mask. Three layers of 100% cotton fabric offer protection while still being comfortable. There are a variety of prints to choose from that will make any mom happy.
13. KIMTRUE Antibacterial Hand Sanitizer: These days, everyone needs hand sanitizer, but all sanitizer is not created equal. KIMTRUE hand sanitizer is produced in an FDA-registered facility in the United States with 70% ethyl alcohol as well as nourishing ingredients like aloe vera, safflower oleosomes, and emollients. The fresh garden scent lingers after the alcohol smell has dissipated and the aloe dries quickly without a sticky residue. The company uses top-notch, cutting-edge active ingredients to formulate non-traditional, results-focused products at affordable prices. A gift to keep your busy mom both healthy and safe.
14. Good Manors Buffalo Plaid Blanket: Give mom a cozy moment with a buffalo plaid blanket from Good Manors. These luxurious blankets have a cashmere-like feel but are washing machine safe, making them easy to care for. They are super versatile too. Not only is it a blanket but it also works great as a shawl or a wrap. The acrylic fabric also makes them great for allergies and sensitive skin and also easy to clean. The blanket comes in five colors.
15. Flat Top Hills Wine: Flat Top Hills is the newest offering from the fourth generation of the famed Mondavi wine family. They’ve created a collection of meticulously crafted wines with attention to quality, that are still approachable and fun to drink. The portfolio includes five wines that pair with a life well-lived: crisp Sauvignon Blanc, lush Chardonnay, supple Rosé, mouth-watering Red Blend, and rich Cabernet Sauvignon. Carefully cultivated and diligently nurtured, the fruit-forward wines offer full body and soft structure.
16. ScentsXchange Calming Candle Trio: Your mom deserves a break! The relaxing scents from a clean-burning candle from ScentsXchange will give her the perfect excuse. The Calming Trio contains three candles -Vanilla Cream, Stress Relief, and Eucalyptus & Mint. They are hand-poured with U.S. Grown Soy Wax in a reusable glass jar with a 100% unbleached cotton wick. Each candle burns for 50-60 hours.
17. The Republic of Tea Beautifying Botanicals Gift Set: For the beauty-enthused mom, this day-to-night kit is perfect for any tea-time occasion. The Daily Beauty Tea’s blend of organic green rooibos, organic hibiscus, and lavender gives for the perfect, hydrating cup. Elevate your mom’s eight hours of beauty sleep with The Beauty Sleep Tea, which lulls her to sleep with chamomile’s natural sleep-inducing effects, and blue butterfly pea flower nourishing her skin as she snoozes.
18. Vallon Sunglasses: Vallon sunglasses, mountaineering sunglasses, and ski goggles are the perfect gift for the active mom. Vallon is an independent, family-owned sports eyewear brand. For each pair of eyewear they sell, they clean up at least 1 kg of plastic waste. Accountability matters! With your purchase, you will receive an email detailing where and exactly how much plastic waste has been cleaned up from your purchase in the subsequent months. To date, they have cleaned up over 29,000 kg – the equivalent of over 2.3 million plastic bottles.
19. Dr. Brite Sonic Toothbrush: An electric toothbrush may not be the first thing that comes to mind when it comes to Mother’s Day. Let’s face it, the two minutes she spends brushing her teeth might be the most me time she’ll get that day. Make it count with a fancy sonic toothbrush from Dr. Brite. Their brushes give professionally clean results at home but are still gentle and quiet. They have wireless charging and even a tongue cleaner on the back of the brush head.
20. The Steeped Coffee Lineup Sampler: Satisfy her caffeine fix with coffee from Steeped. All it takes to brew a perfect cup is hot water and a few minutes. All Steeped packaging is compostable, meaning there are no wasteful plastic pods accumulating in waterways or landfills. Each pack contains hand-roasted, ethically sourced, Direct Trade coffee that’s precision ground to showcase the distinctive flavor profile of every crafted blend. In an effort to fight hunger in America, the coffee company has launched its Packs for Good program, committing 20% of all sales to Feeding America for hunger relief.
21. Jurlique Rosewater Balancing Mist: Jurlique Rosewater Balancing Mist is a cult favorite of beauty gurus and celebrities alike. Made with hand-picked, specifically grown Jurlique roses from the Jurlique farm in Southern Australia, the formula has been clinically proven to improve skin barrier function hydration providing a soothed and well-balanced complexion. In clinical studies, 89% said their skin looked refreshed with a natural glow.
