Easy Mother’s Day Gift Ideas
- Do her an act of service. Does she need work done around the house? Errands to be run? Spend time doing those chores for her.
- Go get a mani-pedi together.
- Plan a spa day (always check Groupon for local deals plus they have extra 25% off for Mother’s Day)
- Brunch (duh)
- If her favorite restaurant is booked out, why not pack up her favorites and go for a picnic at a local park instead.
- Sure you can get Mom flowers but why not also stop at Starbucks and pick up her favorite coffee order as well?
- FLOWERS! A side note on flowers: If you get them at a grocery store, ALWAYS ask the florist on duty to wrap them for you. They’ll replace the plastic with nicer butcher paper and even arrange several different flowers into a proper bouquet for you.
- Live far away from your mother? Scheme with dad or siblings! Arrange to have her taken out to dinner or have it delivered.
Small Brands to Shop for Mother’s Day Gifts
Lace and Pearls Jewelry
My friend Asa makes the loveliest feminine jewelry that is perfect for every day. You can see one of her necklaces on me here.
Navy Knots
My friend Emily makes boho knotted earrings and wall hangings. They are all made to order and you get to pick the size, color, and metal.
Honey & Hank
One of my favorite hostess gifts are the Honey & Hank cloth napkins. Their Stateside Collection is so thoughtfully and whimsically designed with the silhouettes of the fifty states.
Grey Lady Girl print shop
Georgie Morley is a blogger that I’ve been following since I started way back when. She’s since started a podcast and worked as a photographer on Nantucket. She just launched a print shop last week!
Madeline Wilson Photo print shop
Local Seattle photographer, Madeline Wilson, has started selling prints! She has stunning photos of the Pacific Northwest, Italy, Panama, Mexico, and more.
Shop One/Third
Get timeless and chic “third pieces” from Shop One/Third. This is another blogger-founded brand. See Anna Jane is a Chicago-based mother of three whose background in fashion comes from working at Trunk Club during its startup phase.
Dudley Stephens
Environmentally friendly and stylish fleece clothing for women and kids. Their fleece tops come in every color imaginable and are made from recycled fabrics. I’ve been thinking of splurging on their Cobble Hill tunic style for a while.
