Gift guide for Mother’s Day

Karina Gonzalez Staff Writer

Mother’s Day is right around the corner – May 10. Show your mom how much she means to you with these gift ideas.

1. Origami Owl

Custom Jewelry:

Origami Owl has a variety of customizable necklaces and bracelets for any mom. You can even select charms that mean something to you and your mom to give the piece of more personal look.

They even have a Mother’s Day Gift Guide of their own that will you give you step-by-step instructions on how to create the perfect piece of jewelry for your mom.

2. Lush products:

Moms are hard workers and they need time to relax.

Bath bombs are the perfect way to relax after a long day. Lush is a great store for getting different types of bath bombs.

Lush.com said, “Each one is sure to help Mom escape from reality, even if only for a short while, and leave her feeling soft, relaxed and ready to take on anything!”

3. Books & Journals:

With some carefully asked questions, you can find out which book your mom has been wanting to get her hands on.

If her bookcase is already overflowing, pick her up a journal with her favorite pattern on the cover.

Encourage her to set aside 30 minutes of her busy schedule to read or write. She’ll appreciate the “me time.”

4. DIY Mason Jar Quotes

If you’re on a tight budget, or just want your gift to have a more personal touch, decorate a mason jar with paint, ribbons and glitter, then make a list of your favorite quote, and reasons you love your mom.

Transfer these onto Popsicle sticks using a wide variety of sharpies, and place them in the jar.

When she’s having a rough day, she can pull out a quote from you to read.

5. Accessories:

Accessories are simple gifts to show your mom you care. Pick out something she would never normally splurge on for herself, even though she totally deserves it.

For example, choose either a perfume she’s been eying, or a scarf that goes great with her favorite top.

6. Fujifilm Instax Share Smartphone Printer:

If your mom is a tech mom, she will love this. An on-the-go printer that will wirelessly allow her to print photos right from her smart phone.

These are available online at Best Buy and Amazon, discounted at $150.

7. Themed bags:

Hand your mother a bag filled with all of her favorite goodies: candles, books, bath bombs, journal, jackets, etc.

You can even make a “themed” bag, for example: a “Spa Bag” with Spa essentials like manicure kit, facials, calming lotions, and exfoliaters. Insist that you two plan a day where you can pamper yourself a at home!
