Mother's Day Gift Guide
Gifts Every Mama Needs
This is definitely a different kind of Mother’s Day this year, just as every single birthday, celebration or milestone has been over the last couple of months. So, even more reason to make Mother’s Day just that much more special for the mama’s in our life, and what better way than shopping for a gift she’ll love? This includes all the fur mamas, mamas-to-be or even just a fun guide to purchase yourself a little somethin’ somethin’. I could go all day and make this list ten pages long, but I won’t do that to you. Just ONE go-to page. As I’m creating this list, some items are my current faves and the rest, well… they are great hints for what I would want for Mother’s Day. Ahem, ahem, Austin…
1. Jewelry: Every Mom needs a “Mama” or “Mommy” necklace, and some even have matching”Mini”s for your little! A few of my faves…
Uncommon James - My go-to for all jewelry staples. Love the simplicity and being able to layer my pieces. They have two options for Mommy + Me necklaces. (And we are including one in our Mother’s Day Giveaway on instagram, so make sure to enter!)
Tiny Tags - These pieces are more pricey but make the sweetest gift! (sign up for their emails to know when their 20% off sales are, or if I’m cool one day I’ll have a code for you) You can customize the necklaces with names, birthdates, and plated or real gold. I purchased one as a Christmas gift for my sister with my nephew’s name on it. Yep, we both cried when she opened it.
With Love from Katie - Support small biz! These are hand stamped custom jewelry pieces made in Temecula, CA from a Mama herself!
2. Beauty - Morphe brush sets + eye shadow palettes. Morphe is doing it right - quality product for an affordable price! I use my “9T Neutral Territory” and “350 Nature Glow” eyeshadow pallets every single day. I’ve also been loving their cream lipsticks - try “Caught” paired with the “Sweetheart” lip pencil for a great nude.
3. Workout sets: Talk about instant motivation! A cute workout set is exactly what every Mama needs for their workouts. And if the workout includes walking all the way to the couch to watch Ozark - I mean, hey I’m totally here for it.
Salty Honey - Locally owned and killlling it with every launch. Dianna and Taylor have a loyal following of real + incredible women, for good reason. Their pieces are super cute, fit every body style and go quick!
Outdoor voices - I’ve loved every piece I’ve gotten from them and can’t wait to get more! (20% off your first order with email signup)
Alo Yoga - Great pieces for yoga, barre, pilates, etc. Shop their “Mom’s Day Shop” tab.
Old Navy Active - The MOST affordable workout wear and fits extremely well! My mom and I both love shopping their active wear. Leggings, tanks, shorts, sports bras… plus they always have huge sales + cash rewards.
4. Lounge - Ok, I had to make lounge wear it’s own category because let’s be real - it’s what we’re currently living in and there are so many cute pieces!
The Light Blonde - Softest t-shirts ever. Tie dye, bleached, distressed options. Ali, also a fellow mama, creates inspiring, fun phrases + spreads the light of our Lord one t-shirt at a time. Careful, you’ll get addicted. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Barefoot Dreams Blanket - the MUST have on every single gift guide, ever. Need I say more?
Joggers - Basically the upgraded sweatpants. These ones are super affordable and come in all sizes.
Tie Dye Short Pajamas - because, duh. #trending
Casual Romper - Perfect to lounge in at home during the summer, comes in tons of colors. Feels like you’re in pajamas but guess what? You’re totally dressed.
5. Yeti - Anything Yeti really… But the coffee mugs come in clutch so that you’re not reheating your coffee 3x each morning. #momlife
6. Books - Where are my book worms at? Book of the Month - making reading cool again. We got this gift for my mom last year and she loved it - Such a creative idea!
7. Cookbook - For the aspiring home chef! My top favorite cookbooks I pull recipe inspo from on the daily… and I just love these women.
Chrissy Teigen’s Cravings and her newest Hungry for More
Kristin Cavallari’s True Roots and her newest True Comfort
Joanna Gaines’ Magnolia Table and Magnolia Table, Volume 2
8. Recipe Tin - I LOVE my recipe tin where I keep all of my favorite recipes from my mom - something about having actual recipe cards makes me happy. Plus, Rifle Paper Co. is the just cutest to display in your pantry. Get one for yourself and your best Mama friend.
9. Pans - I know pans aren’t the sexiest gift BUT they do make cooking a whole of a lot easier and lately I’ve been loving my large skillet from Ayesha Curry. I posted an IG story cooking the other day, and more people asked about the pan than the recipe itself!
10. Wine Glass set - If your household is like mine, we slowly but surely lose all of our wine glasses. and by lose, I mean break. I think we’re down to only a couple matching glasses, and there’s nothing I love more than enjoying a beautiful bottle of cab in an oversized fancy wine glass. Bonus: purchase her a nice bottle of wine to enjoy with the new glasses.
Gift Cards - And if all else fails there’s always online shopping so she can choose what SHE want for Mother’s Day. Some of my fave places to online shop right now - Vici, Nordstrom, Free People, Sephora, and Target (always!).
I hope this was helpful to give you some shopping inspo! What do YOU want for Mother’s Day?
