One thing everyone could agree on is that no amount of gifts could ever show our gratitude for our mothers. They’re with us through thick and thin, being the shoulder to cry on, the number one supporter, or the random I-miss-you phone call. We need our moms and wish we could offer them the world.
With mom’s big day around the corner, it’s time to go gift hunting if you’ve been putting it on the back burner. We get it, people get busy and some are on a tight budget. Moms will appreciate anything as long as it’s from you, perhaps she’ll appreciate it a little more if it’s from Saks, Nordstrom, or even Sephora. Don’t worry, the Yankee candle copout is always an option. Here are some gift ideas any mom would love.
Kate Spade New York Loves Me Loves Me Not Necklace. Diamonds are a girl’s best friend, but was Kate Spade in the clique? This faux pearl pendant is timeless and could work for daily use or for an occasion. The flowers are embedded with cubic zirconia and the pearl could pass as real. Mom would be thrilled with this gift, and you’d be thrilled with the $68 price tag found at Saks Fifth Avenue. Not bad for Kate Spade.
Birkenstock Gizeh Birko-Flor Thong Sandal. Clothes are a little tricky to buy. Not knowing someone’s size or style could eliminate the clothing options, but shoes and sandals are a safe bet. Mom will love strolling around in these new Birkenstocks this summer. They come in five colors: Antique Lace, Brown Metallic, Licorice, Onyx, and Silver. They’re $99.95 at Nordstrom and will make it through multiple summers and vacations.
Alex And Ani Because I Love You Mom Bracelet. If you’re set on jewelry but not trying to break the bank, this Alex and Ani bracelet will win mom’s heart. The “Mom” charm is detailed with Swarovski crystals making the bracelet a notch above any other bracelet. This bracelet comes in silver and gold. For $15 at Nordstrom, mom will treasure this piece.
MARC JACOBS Daisy & Daisy Eau So Fresh Mini Set. If there’s anything we love, it’s a bargain at Sephora. We hit the mother lode (pun intended) with this perfume set by Marc Jacobs. Mom will love the idea of getting not just one, but two perfumes this year. The mini-set is only $20 at Sephora and is limited edition, so don’t wait until the last minute.
Becca Summer Radiance Kit. Mom could never have too much makeup, the more the merrier. This Summer Radiance priming and bronzing kit will give her a fresh glistening glow for summer and could be used daily. This kit could be found at Sephora for $25.
Ray Rose Goldtone Stainless Steel Fitness & Sleep Tracker: Fitbits, Apple Watches, Misfits, pick your poison. Step counting watches have taken over the traditional watch and are adored by many. Tracking your steps, distance traveled, calories burned, and sleep duration have never been made easier. Misfit’s fitness watch is stylish and not clunky like their competitors. Mom will be able to mix it in with other bracelets without ruining her outfit. For $119, this could be found at Saks Fifth Avenue.
