They offer customizable boxes, so mom can sample a delicious variety, and they are available for shipping nationwide.
Le Papier Studio Silhouette Tag Necklace
Kelly R said: A sentimental gift that is still sophisticated. My husband gave this to me, and I treasure it. The necklace features a custom silhouette that is created based on a photograph of your child (or children). They take about 3-4 weeks, and are available in sterling silver or gold. A variety of other custom silhouette products are also available.
Himalayan Glow Pink Crystal Salt Lamp
Gina I. said: Made from 100% Himalayan Crystal Salt, this attractive salt lamp provides a warm, calming glow. When the lamp heats up it emits negative ions, naturally purifying the air and neutralizing odors.
Only Love Today: Reminders to Breathe More, Stress Less, and Choose Love
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."
Olive & June Mani System
Kelly R said: This manicure set from Olive & June is a game changer, especially for those of us who never really got into painting our nails! The kit comes with everything you need to create a professional-looking manicure at home, and mine go strong for a week or more...even when washing dishes, cleaning, and taking care of all of the kid-related tasks that generally do a number on your nails. I also feel good about using Olive & June polishes on my daughter because they're free of the 7 harmful chemicals commonly found in nail polish.
YETI Rambler Mug
Kelly R said: No need to reheat that forgotten cup of coffee over and over again! These YETI mugs make the best gifts for new moms, and they include a lid for spill-proof sipping.
Diamond Candles
Vanessa M. said: These candles are especially unique gift ideas for mom. Give Mom a scented candle with a twist. Each Diamond Candle has a surprise ring inside valued at $10 plus a "ring reveal" slip that will reveal if she wins another ring worth $100, $1,000, or $5,000!
Sudara - Punjammies Lounge Pants
Gina I. said: Sudara features unique gift ideas for mom. With their comfortable fit and beautiful fabrics, mom will love wearing this ethically-made loungewear, and other products too. Punjammies are perfect for every-day wear and each pair is handmade by women in India who have escaped human trafficking.
Warming and Cooling Plush Soft Slippers
Thera Thibeault said: Every mom wants a soft place to rest her weary feet at the end of a long day. Throw 'em in the fridge on the sultry summer nights and microwave them for a few moments to warm those toes right up. Filled with flax seed and lavender buds, relaxation is only a step away with these slippers.
Sugarfina Customizable Bento Box
Yoli B said: Perfect for any occasion, Sugarfina offers boozy candy treats that mom would surely love! Sugarfina has many gummy bear offerings including margarita, champagne, and moscow mule! If chocolate is more her speed, they've got that too. You can design your own bento box which can have 3 - 20 different flavors! These will surely bring a smile to her face!
Mother's Day: The Gift of Colouring
Gina I. said: Help mom de-stress and re-discover her love of coloring with this beautifully illustrated coloring book. Perfect for markers or colored pencils, so grab a set and make it a complete gift.
Slip Silk Pillowcase
Kelly R said: As if the feeling of finally crawling into bed wasn't luxurious enough, this splurge-worthy natural silk pillowcase will literally give mom her beauty sleep. The slippery fibers are gentle on skin and hair to help with bedhead, breakage, sleep creases, and aging.
Poppy Tree Custom Picture Frames
Erin P. said: What to get for the camera-happy mom in your life? Frames! I have several of these frames, and they are great! You can completely customize them - sizes, colors, shapes and sets! The custom frame tool on their website allows you to play around with the designs and colors and even add the pictures that you plan to frame to the gallery so that you can see how they will look in the frames that you are considering!
Wine Pearls
Gina I. said: Moms love wine...help her keep her glass nicely chilled with wine pearls! Unlike ice cubes that melt and water down your vino, wine pearls won't compromise the taste of her favorite vintage. Don't forget the wine! Grab a few of her favorite bottles while you're at it!
FORLIFE Curve Tall Tea Mug
Kelly R said: This might just be the perfect tea mug. It has a generous capacity, and includes an extra-fine tea strainer and lid. Plus, it is available in a rainbow of attractive colors.
I recently bought this for myself (couldn't wait for Mother's Day!) and it is awesome. Nicely sized, and so easy to clean.
