Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

The Wise Baby - The Definitive Baby Blog

So it is MAY. How did that happen? While I am planning a more detailed “letter from the editor” post with a little update on our lives and why I have been posting less frequently (no, I am not pregnant, that is our rockstar editor, Mallory) I wanted to share some of my most favorite Mother’s Day gift ideas. Mother’s Day is tough because as daughter giving to a mother how do you really put your thanks, gratitude and love into a gift but as a mother receiving there really isn’t anything you want besides happy and healthy kiddo’s right? Well, twist our arms, we came up with some pretty fab gift ideas – enjoy! What are you asking for?

1. Matching tunic set from Shrimp & Grits (mom & baby) – for all you mama’s with girls, this is a GREAT ask. Not only is it super cute but how fun is it to match your little lady? This is a perfect mom top (comfy, tailored but not tight and breezy) for spring/summer events. Paired with white jeans and some gold sandals and you’ll be stylin’. It is a great cover up for you or your littles, too. And lucky for us, Shrimp & Grits is starting a sale on Monday – buy a mama tunic get a baby tunic FREE! Sale lasts until they run out of stock so don’t wait!

2. Alphabet Cuff – We have all seen and probably have some sort of variation of the initial necklace. I love mine and wear it daily but lately am loving these initial cuffs! They are simple, understated and just really pretty. They look very cool stacked if you have multiple babes!

3. Hario Water Brew Coffee Pot

(i.e., delicious iced coffee) – Is it wrong that every night I look forward to the fact I get to drink coffee the next day? We recently made the switch from hot coffee to iced (woo-hoo) and the xx is awesome. You pour the coffee grinds in the top at night, fill with water and in the morning have perfect iced coffee. I also appreciate that it doesn’t take up too much of our fridge space!

4. Sleepwear – I know “sleepwear” may seems like a silly gift but us mama’s love our sleep. While we may not get as much as we like some comfy sleepwear is always appreciated. My favorite is the Gilligan & O’Malley from Target. Everything in the entire line is great. I love their nightgowns but the robes, pants and undies (tmi) make a regular appearances in my house.

5. Sperry’s – We’ve talked about the best mom jeans and Sperry’s top the list for the best “mom shoe”. Why? They are super comfy – I wear them around Manhattan for miles and love how supportive and cushioned they are. They have great traction which is great for keeping up with lightening fast toddlers on all terrains. Lastly, they are super durable all while still being cute.

6. Skip Hop Duet 2 in 1 Diaper Tote

– Every mom loves a GREAT diaper bag, right? Skip Hop is my go to for great diaper bags and one of their newest, the Duet 2 in 1 just may be my new favorite. It is a super stylish tote (people have stopped me on the street asking if it is various designers from Prada to Marc Jacobs) and in true Skip Hop fashion has a pocket for just about everything. You can also remove the inner liner to reveal a plain but functional messenger diaper bag (for dad!) while leaving mom with the stylish tote!

7. Scarf – A scarf is an easy way to make jeans and a white t-shirt an outfit. The Lilly scarves are super colorful and fun. In my mind it is a little luxury because it is something I would never buy myself!

8. Gift cards – While gift cards are typically thought of as a “boring” or “thoughtless” gift I think quite the opposite! I rarely splurge for a mani/pedi but would love a gift card to get me there. Starbucks is always a win, Target, Massage Envy, Jcrew, Nordstroms, the list goes on. A gift card truly is a special and great gift!

9. Photo Magnets – With smart phones, we all have way more pictures than we can ever display although, we would love to display all 3,000, right? These photo magnets are just one of the great ways to display some and would make a great grandparents, gift, too!

10. Leather Zip Wristlet – this leather wallet is one of my favorite gifts ever (thanks, Mom). It is a great size, made of real leather making it durable and comes in lots of fun colors. What it is really great for is throwing everywhere and anywhere. I don’t always have my diaper bag or a purse, sometimes just the stroller or two kids in my arms but I often need my wallet. I can just slip this guy around my wrist and go. It even fits my phone along with cards and cash. I put it around my wrist at playgrounds or parks when I don’t feel comfortable keeping it in the stroller. Add a monogram for a personalized touch!
