The thing about Mother’s Day is that it’s always going to fall short. How can you possibly buy a gift good enough or celebrate well enough for someone who has sacrificed limitlessly, supported endlessly and loved unconditionally? You can’t. And yet, sometimes it seems like days of celebration like Mother’s day turn into contests to ‘prove how much mom means.’ This Mother’s day end the bad habit of trying to measure up. You can’t prove how you feel, so just show it- simply and meaningfully! Easier said than done? You bet! Not to worry, though! Here are some of our favorite ways ranging from every price point to celebrate the queen on her special day. Read on for the ultimate Mother’s Day Gift Guide 2019.
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.
Art: Did you see a painting that reminds you of her? Or maybe depicts a favorite family location that brings back memories? Pictures are a great treasure, and a beautiful reminder of beautiful relationships! We personally think you can’t go wrong with a Gray Malin piece or coffee table book.
Personalized Perfume: You heard right! Give the gift of personalization with this sweet present! Depending on bottle shape and size, prices range from $79-$99!
REALLY nice chocolate: Yea.. and a lot of it. Check out the 12-bar gift set from Mast Brothers here for $175. We also love this beautiful chocolate passport gift box from Trader Joe’s for less than $20!
Jewelry: Get creative with this one! Diamonds may be a girl’s best friend, but family is forever. Try finding something personalized! Here are some cute Gorjana charms, $22, for the woman in your life to add to a chain or circlet she already has.
An exotic plant: Not that roses are EVER over rated, but go for something different this time! Nothing stands out like a gorgeous exotic hibiscus or a bunch of orchids. Get creative- heck, plant her a whole garden! We love the selection over at Bloomscape.
