2020 Mother's Day Gift Ideas
This year’s mother’s day, like so many other things right now, will certainly look different, but, even if you can’t be with your mom IRL, there are still plenty of ways to celebrate her in spirit; below, are a few gift ideas to give your mom, grandma, mother figure and/or mom friends; bonus- all of these items are from small businesses, many of which are female founded and/or female run
A COZY BLANKET //
I adore the blankets and throws from Portland, Maine based Evangeline. They’re timeless and beautiful and would make a perfect gift. They also have wraps that would make a great gift for moms. And, bonus, right now everything on their site is 30% off!
A NEW BAG //
You can never go wrong with giving your mom a new bag, especially when it’s one that is as beautiful as it is functional. I especially love Parker Clay bags because they help support and empower women in Ethiopia, which makes giving one of them as a mother’s day gift all the more meaningful. A few of my suggestions include this beautiful clutch, this classic tote, this carry-all, and this backpack, which is especially great for a mom on-the-go.

LUXE SLIPPERS //
There are several options to choose from here, all equally cozy and all equally sure to make mom happy
THE PERFECT LOUNGEWEAR SET //
Sister Katie makes the most effortlessly chic sets that are available in several dreamy colors, none of which you can wrong with!
KITCHEN KNIVES //
I love how minimal, yet efficient, this set is, that is reasonably priced {especially as far as good kitchen knives are concerned} and that it comes in several colors.
FRESH FLOWERS //
Ode à la Rose, a NY-based company {who I love and have teamed up with in the past}, is sending the most gorgeous blooms straight from Holland directly to your door, or should I say your mom’s door! And yes, they’re able to ship them anywhere in the US!
SWEET TREATS //
Miette offers a beautiful assortment of baked goods and sweet treats that are available for shipping nationwide. There are even several gift box options, including this one that is only $40! Also, starting on May 1st, several of their cakes will be available for shipping, so, while you may not be able to bake your mom a cake this mother’s day, you will be able to send her one {How good does this one and this one look?!}.
HOME SPA //
Since you can’t take mom to the spa, bring the spa to her with things like these beautiful bath salts, luxe sheet masks, a facial kit, some ultra moisturizing body and hand creams, a nice candle, nail care, a few hair products {this brand is including a Mother’s Day card with orders over $25 + donating a portion of their sales to support at-risk women and families} and maybe even a nice tea. You can even pair one or two of these items with the slippers or robe mentioned above.
A DONATION //
Making a donation to a charitable cause or organization in your mom’s name is a great way to honor and celebrate her, especially during times like these when you can’t necessarily celebrate together in person.
