Gina I. said:  Create a cozy spot where mom can enjoy a good book or just kick back and relax. Best of all, hammock chairs don't require a lot of space, so they are perfect for mom's balcony or sun rooms.

Gina I. said:  For the mom who loves tea and all the wonderful health benefits it provides, Davids Tea offers these beautifully packaged teas. They are all delicious and with a variety of options mom will have plenty to choose from!

Kelly R said:  Nickel & Suede offers unique and lovely leather earrings in a variety of flattering colors and styles. The earrings make a bold statement, but are lightweight and effortless enough that mom can use them to add a little glam to any outfit. Earring designs are available in different sizes to suit her style and personality.

Beth Wood said:  Most families have recipes that have a special place in their hearts and memories. Moms can pass her family recipes on to future generations with a "My Family Cookbook," a completely customizable recipe book. The book features blank pages for conversion tables, photo galleries and space for family members to review each recipe. Have fun filling in the pages with your family and ask loved ones to contribute their favorite dish. There is space for over 80 recipes in addition to tips, tables and an introduction with useful cooking guides for kitchen novices.

Hannah Scott said:  Her children are her pride and joy, and this personalized necklace allows Mom to keep them near her heart at all times. With a variety of customization options (including chain length and type, font, and text) this necklace can be as unique as the mama who wears it. The Vintage Pearl also offers custom bracelets, rings, and additional necklace styles to suit every taste.

Molly Weber said:  Subscriptions are unique gift ideas for mom. I am OBSESSED with my FabFitFun box that was gifted to me by my sister-in-law. It is a subscription box service that is delivered seasonally. This boxes contain a variety of full size items (not just sample size) including things like beauty products, accessories, and fitness related products. I am beyond excited when I see my FabFitFun box on my doorstep when I get home! It is definitely the gift that keeps on giving.

Amy S. said:  As far as I’m concerned, an insulated, spill proof mug is essential for moms on morning duty. This mug is the best; the insulated design keeps your coffee hot for a long time and the “magslider” lid means you can close up the top and prevent spills by little ones. But the shape and size of the mug still feels comfortable and, for lack of a better word, homey (unlike some of the monstrous insulated travel mugs I’ve seen). I use mine every. Single. Morning. In fact, I never drink from any of our other mugs anymore. And to top it off (pun intended), it’s dishwasher safe.

Gina I. said:  This pocket size book offers lots of great prompts, like:

"I love getting your advice on _______"

"I love that you encourage me to _____"

Simply fill them in and let mom know all the wonderful things you love about her. A great gift from children or adults.

Gina I. said:  Lush Bath Bombs are the perfect way to relax and unwind after a long day. Each bath bomb is loaded with essential oils, creating a blissful bathing experience.

Gina I. said:  The Rosie bracelet conceals mom's Fitbit so she can wear it anywhere! The stacked bracelet looks is great and very on trend right now! Funktional Wearables makes accessories for all brands of activity trackers, perfect for the mom who is health-conscious and stylish.

Molly Weber said:  Ok, so we all know that it's not very expensive to send photos out to be printed and picked up or shipped to your house. However, somehow I still find myself looking at picture frames around my house that haven't been updated in years. These printers would allow you to easily and immediately print photos right from your smartphone (check for compatibility) and update your picture frames in minutes!

Erin P. said:  This is a great book with small (totally manegable!) reflections about managing life, love and daily stresses. Rachel Macy Stafford guides the reader toward realizing 'hey I'm not perfect, but I always have the choice to respond with love.' This seems like a great gift for the "new mom" who already has a tot or two (or more!) under her wing and is trying to figure out how to "do it all."

Gina I. said:  Woops macarons look as good as they taste! Choose from a wonderful assortment of flavors like Strawberry, Lemon Tart, Nutella, Pistachio, Cookies N’ Cream, Mint Chocolate, Vanilla, and more. Can’t decide? You don’t have to! They offer customizable boxes, so mom can sample a delicious variety, and they are available for shipping nationwide.

Sarah C. said:  So comfy - great for working out or just relaxing. Great quality! Love these as gifts.
