Twins Take on the Holiday: Mother's Day Gift Guide

If your mom is anything like ours, sometime around January, she starts mentioning what she'd like for Mother's Day since it's "coming soon".  As a result, we usually have her present ideas locked up pretty early on.  (Mom, we know you're reading, so NO HINTS!)  We thought we'd do a little gift guide, so that you could start to think about the special lady in your life.  Don't know what to get your mom?  Read on!

For the Fit Mama:

A mom who loves fitness will love some gifts to help her maintain her healthy lifestyle.  Great gifts would be this adorable sweatshirt to throw on before Barre class or some new kicks.  Another great option is a gift card at her favorite gym or studio.

For the New Mommy:

 

A first Mother's Day is a wonderful time for a sentimental, personalized gift.  Jewelry is a nice way to mark this occasion because it can serve as a daily reminder of how special it is to be a mom.  You can also represent her children with names or birthstones, too.  There are so many great personalization options at Three Sisters Jewelry.  Fun fact--Jess wears one of their necklaces daily that was a new mom gift from Ry!  Birthstone jewelry is also a great idea and has been updated a lot since those outdated rings that our Grandmas used to wear.  We love simple rings from Jennifer Meyer and Helen Ficalora that can be worn alone or stacked together (We wear both).

For the Foodie Mom:

If your mom loves to cook, grab a new kitchen gadget or cookbook. We bought our mom a Keurig coffeemaker a few years back and she still uses it everyday!  How great is this one in Jess's favorite color?  We both have this cookbook from the fantastic Deb at Smitten Kitchen and the photos and recipes are to die for!

For the Fashion Forward Mama: 

Splurging on a beautiful bag or some sassy shoes will make this mom smile.  One of Jess's favorite bags is this Longchamp tote.  There's a reason everyone and her mother carries it around.  It's lightweight, washable, holds basically everything and is much chicer than the average diaper bag.  It's a great everyday bag, but we also think a cute cross-body is perfect for a mom-on-the-go.  These go-with-everything sandals are also a great splurge she'll enjoy all summer long!

For Any Mother on Your List:

All moms appreciate a gift that helps them take a little time out for themselves.  We love these cozy pajama sets that come in lots of color options.  Our favorite comfy slippers are currently sold out, but these are awesome, too.
