Moms love a personalized gift. This beautiful locket and necklace set from Satya is made of 18k gold plate with precious gemstones that correspond to your mother’s birthday month (May is shown above).

Dagne Dover, Mila Toiletry Organizer $70
For the mom who loves her organization, especially when traveling. This top handled pouch by Dagne Dover is chock full of compartments, loops and a bonus mesh pocket up top. It even comes with an internal clip so mom doesn’t have to go hunting for a hair band. All this and it’s made from super tough Repreve® Recycled Polyester both inside and out. Every bag is made of four plastic bottle’s worth of material that, thanks to you, won’t end up in a landfill or our oceans.
Tile, Rambler Performance Pack in Midnight $61.99
Speaking of travel, sometimes the unexpected happens. Keys get left somewhere, wallets fall out while digging for phones, or maybe on your Mom’s trip that luggage that should have met her at the baggage claim has gone walkabout somewhere between Oregon and Ohio. This season, give Mom the peace of mind. For just about anything that she needs to keep track of, Tile can do it. This starter pack includes 2 Bluetooth enabled tracking devices – one perfect for attaching via a ring to keys, purses, wallets, luggage and another Slim fit that is as thin as a credit card and can be slipped into a wallet, or sticky attached to a laptop, or any other object. If something goes missing, Mom can locate it on her phone app (including that lost luggage via GPS). And if she loses her phone? She can double press the Tile button on her Tile to make her phone ring (even if it was set to Silent mode).
Windsor, Gretchen Sweetheart Tie Floral Chiffon Midi Dress $64.90
Is Mother’s Day brunch part of your family’s tradition? This gorg chiffon midi dress will have her sipping Mimosas in style. The length is perfect, with just a touch of super on-trend bow straps, making it something mom can wear for all sorts of upcoming summer celebration events.
Nina, Splash Pearl Rose Feather Adorned Kiss $128
Speaking of social events, if your mom’s summer dance card is filled with everything from reunions to rehearsal dinners, give her one less thing to think about…namely her bag. This feathered, top handle bag by Nina is the perfect size (not too small, not too big) for carrying all her necessities. The champagne color will go with just about any dress color she has, and is equally flattering with gold or silver jewelry.
Knockaround, Premiums Sport in Aquamarine/Fuchsia $38
Whether she’s into running, biking, hitting the court or any number of activities, these Premiums Sport sunglasses by Knockaround will be her new go-to. Polarized and impact-resistant lenses held in a lightweight polycarbonate material frame, they also come with a secret weapon – cushy, rubber nose grips that’ll keep her sunnies on mom’s face no matter what sport she’s into. All this packaged together in a super fresh color combo. And if your mom’s not into the brighter color? No worries, Knockaround has plenty of other color options to choose from.
Kate Spade New York, Protective Airpods Case $31.99
No one, including Mom, loves to have to go on a hunting expedition for their air pods. Which is why this adorable case by Kate Spade isn’t just another pretty face. The case offers 2-piece urethane construction protection against dropping and comes with a built-in clip for a hands free option. Plus, again, the cuteness cannot be denied.
Onyx Coffee Lab, 10 oz Whole Bean Coffee $18 to $28 (each)
This one is for the coffee-loving mom. Onyx Coffee Lab coffees are whole bean and directly sourced with exclusive flavors that drink like a fine wine. If mom is a dark roast lover, Eclipse is Guatemala-sourced coffee with flavors of baker’s chocolate, burnt sugar, and smoked vanilla bean. Medium roast El Salvador is a single-origin bean, producing notes like rose, white grape, fig, and black tea, while Geometry is a lighter bean blend of Colombian San Antonio and Ethiopian Gigesa with flavors of berries, sweet lemon, tea, and honey. Can’t decide? Why not get mom all three. At around nineteen dollars each, it’s a decadent gift she’ll appreciate with every pour.
The Bouqs, Monthly Subscription $44 (to Start)
It’s not just an urban myth, flowers do make you feel more relaxed and happier! How is that? Because live cut flowers emit chemicals that trigger endorphins. You know what else will make you and your mom feel good? Every flower that the Bouqs uses in their bouquets are direct sourced from farms that have been certified eco-friendly for their use of recycled water and minimal waste practices. The bouquets themselves are designed by and put together by local Artisan Florists. You can choose the monthly bouquet size: $44 for 10 to 16 stems, $48 for 20 to 32 stems and $60 for 30 to 45 stems. Then choose the frequency, such as monthly or bi-monthly and your lucky floral lover will begin receiving fresh blooms as early as January first.
Paddywax, Library Candles $30
Okay yes, candles may be a pretty basic gift, but if your mom loves her book club, or is just an avid reader on her own, she’s going to love something from the Library collection by Paddywax. Every candle is hand poured and made from soy wax (non-toxic, clean burning and zero black soot). There are over twelve classic authors to choose from, from Bronte to Shakespeare. Each candle is a “signature scent” made just for each author. Choose one of mom’s favorites, or just go with one of the scent combinations you know she enjoys.
