My 2021 Mother's Day Gift Guide

Believe it or not, Mother’s Day is right around the corner (May 9th to be exact) and before you know it, you’re either going to be scrambling to find a gift or figure out what to tell your family to get you. Mother’s Day gift giving does not have to be extravagant but rather something thoughtful that makes you or the mom in your life feel pampered and special. My gift guides always include items that I would either like for myself or to give to someone in my life. It includes thoughtfully selected gifts including items from my favorite handmade shops and small businesses. I always try to pick affordable items along with some high end gifts when you’re willing to splurge a little. Lastly, all personal care products and cosmetics included in my gift guides are clean and non-toxic. So let’s get shopping!!

The larger size makes this perfect for organizing a larger bag, diaper bag or suitcase, but can also transition to a pretty clutch for a night out. I love Daisy Faye pouches and clutches because not only are they pretty but they are lightweight and easy to pack.

Hair Dryer Brush by Revlon - A hairdryer for Mother’s Day? Hear me out. This has changed my life and cut my morning routine significantly. Not to mention that I no longer have to juggle the hairdryer and brush combination and my hair looks good every time I use it. What mom wouldn’t want that? If you’re not into giving just a hairdryer, try pairing it with another item, more luxurious item.


Clean Eye Shadow Palette by Jane Iredale - This is something I know my own mom would love to get as a gift because she would never buy this for herself. There are eight palette options (wow) and all shades are safe for sensitive eyes.

Lip and Cheek Palette by RMS Beauty - I love a multi-tasking product and even better one that’s all in one neat little palette (win-win). It’s perfect for travel or to store in your purse for work. The universal colors make it easy to gift to any mom. RMS beauty is another brand committed to transparency and safe ingredients.

You can start inside and move outdoors when the weather is right or keep indoors by a sunny window for a little edible greenery in the house. Everything is included all in one east to use kit.

Lime Printed Jammies by Print Fresh - I’ve had my eye on these pajamas for a while. The prints are so gorgeous! What better way to pamper mom (or yourself) than with a set of beautifully made and printed pjs. Not into limes? Print Fresh has plenty of other beautiful options.
