Friday Five // Mother's Day Gift Guide
Moms take on a TON of extra work each day to make sure everything flows as smooth as possible for the whole family, so it means the world when we have a chance to thank them for all that they do. And since Mother’s Day is a little over a week away, the clock is ticking to check off that gift list! So, if you’re still at a loss for what to get that rockstar mom in your life, read on. I’ve got a list of my top five foolproof gifts that are always home runs, and more than ever they’re sure to make your celebration memorable (even in the midst of a quarantine).
NO. 1 SUPPORT LOCAL FLORISTS
One of the best ways to support your community this Mother's Day (especially during these times) is to buy from a local florist. It helps to keep those small businesses thriving! Not sure where to go? Try Farmgirl from San Fran - they deliver all over the country, so you're guaranteed to get a beautiful gift right to your door to celebrate.
NO. 2 AROMATHERAPY
Nothing helps me relax and get in the groove quite like a fragrant candle. This one is my current fav - the lavender scent is so soothing and the label gives me all the empowering vibes I need to start my work each morning. If a different scent matches the mama in your life, be sure to check out their full collection - there's a fit for everyone!
NO. 3 CUSTOM ART
Want to go the sentimental route? Skip the store-bought art prints and opt for a custom art gift instead. I promise that it will be so much more meaningful (and it's bound to take prominence on the walls of your home!). There are a ton of options out there at all price points, too, and as a bonus, your purchase supports a local artist!
NO. 4 TIME OFF
I'm pretty sure that more than anything, moms everywhere are dying for an afternoon or evening "off." I know I plan to take a relaxing bath with candles, wine, and headphones! Whatever helps her relax - whether it's solo hammock time or a walk around the lake - is definitely going to top her list this year.
NO. 5 FASHION ACCESSORY
With nowhere to go right now, I've been spending more and more time outdoors, and having a nice pair of sunglasses for those sunny days has been glorious. With summer just around the corner, you can't go wrong with a functional fashion accessory for mom - a wide-brimmed sunhat or sunglasses will definitely make her smile.
