Let’s talk about Mother’s Day. It’s a holiday that can feel a tad complex. Maybe you’re planning to spoil your mom with a spa day, or maybe you’re finding ways to honor her memory or handle some tricky emotions. If you choose to celebrate, we’ve rounded up some fun and local gift ideas.
A personal self care box, curated just for her with the scents and vibes she likes best, $65.
A lightweight puffer jacket (it folds into itself!) for transitioning from winter to spring, $47.40.
This cheeky candle that smells like horses and patriarchy, $29.
A warm brownie sundae, $10.95. The honey lavender ice cream, topped with lemon curd and sprinkles, is equally delicious.
Update her accessory game with a chic new handbag, $350, or makeup pouch, $18, perfect for keeping her essentials stylishly at hand.
A gift card to a local nursery like Sky or Swansons so she can wander the aisles drinking tea and smelling flowers.
A playful wine glass featuring a sassy Pacific Northwest crow, perfect for sipping her favorite reds, whites, and pinks, $12.
This small-batch nail polish, $14, is free from the top ten chemicals (10-free) and is vegan and cruelty-free. It’s inspired by food and made in the Pacific Northwest. We’ve been rocking the Cookies & Cream all winter.
A soft, lightweight linen scarf for dressing up jeans and a tee, $42.
This pretty pinky promise necklace as a playful promise to always keep it real between you two — even if it means letting her know when she’s got food in her teeth, $56.
A handwritten card that says all the things you don’t say enough, $5.50.
Brighten her kitchen table with a burst of blooms from a local florist like April Showers, $160.
A buzzy new novel or cookbook — ensuring she gets all the me-time she deserves, $28.
Get her favorite kicks restored — breathe new life into her go-to sneakers, making them ready for more adventures together, $100.
A fresh new fragrance to add a touch of elegance to her every day, $60.
Some fancy extra virgin olive oil in a hand-painted jug for entertaining guests this summer, $54.95. Or, this Edible Flowerfetti, $29.95, would be so pretty to use on summer salads.
