Mother's Day Gift Guide
May 8, 2023
It’s a universal truth that moms are the heart and soul of families. Mothers are the glue that keeps everyone together, the well-oiled machine that keeps the household running smoothly, and the soothing hands that wipe away tears. Mother’s Day is the one day of the year dedicated to showing moms the appreciation they deserve, and we know that everyone wants to give the special mom in their life the perfect present that says, “Thank you for everything that you do.” With Mother’s Day just around the corner, we’ve rounded up a list of thoughtful gifts that she’ll actually love and use—even if she insists she doesn’t need anything.
1. Toki Mats Support Pillow
From tummy time to lumbar support to feeding support, this multi-use support pillow does it all. Made from soft but durable latex foam, this pillow is comfortable enough for pregnant or new moms to use wherever support is needed, but also small enough to help little ones keep their heads up during tummy time or sit up independently.
2. Maison Miru Tiny Crystal Nap Earrings
The last thing a busy mom has time for is worrying about taking off her jewelry every night to avoid tarnishing or sore ears. These tasteful crystal earrings feature a push pin flat back design that is specifically made for 24/7 wear. Implant grade titanium and 14k gold PVD plating makes these gorgeous studs hypoallergenic and ultra comfortable to shower and sleep in.
3. Storq Essential Pumping and Nursing Bra
Constructed from ultra-soft micromodal jersey that feels pleasantly cool on the skin, this silky nursing bra doubles as a pumping bra so moms can use their hands to work, watch TikTok videos, or snack while pumping. Stretchy and soft enough to accommodate sensitive, growing breasts throughout pregnancy and breastfeeding, but stylish enough to feel cute in, this bra is a maternity must-have.
4. Fawn Design The Fawn + Mandi Nelson Satchel Diaper Bag
Premium matte faux leather, gold hardware, and a super chic design make this bag so pretty, no one would ever guess that it stores diapers, wipes, and rash cream. Thoughtfully designed with multiple zippered and open pockets, this satchel diaper bag can be worn multiple ways to suit every mom’s style.
5. HATCH Brighten Up Retinol Alternative Radiance Serum
Made for the mama who’s really missing her retinol, this pregnancy-safe, breastfeeding-safe serum is formulated with bakuchiol, nourishing oils, and smoothing fruit extracts to fight fine lines and dark spots. This luxuriously hydrating serum supports hormonal skin during pregnancy and beyond so Mom can feel like herself again.
6. Toki Mats Picnic Blanket
With this extra large picnic blanket made from GOTS-certified organic cotton and coated with a water-repellant treatment, family outings have never been easier. Lightweight with a built-in carry handle, this blanket rolls up to conveniently stow away in a stroller basket or car trunk.
7. Rad Rev Kids Sling Wallet in Honey Corduroy
This full-size wallet is crafted from high quality corduroy and designed to be worn as a crossbody or belt bag for an effortlessly stylish look. Perfect for quick outings, this wallet features three card slots and two zippered pockets that easily hold sunglasses, keys, and other small items.
8. Knickey Starter Set
This starter set features six undies in Knickey’s signature styles, so moms can have everything from barely-there comfort to full coverage. Made from GOTS certified organic cotton and elastane for breathability and stretch, these undies are as comfortable as they are necessary. After all, you can never have too many pairs of undies!
9. Bao Bei Soothe & Support: The Postpartum Kit
Calling all moms approaching their due date! This postpartum kit by Bao Bei has everything you need for recovery, whether you have a vaginal birth or C-section. Including a peri bottle, postpartum ice packs, a multipack of Rael organic disposable undergarments, Bao Bei Bloomers, zero-waste scrunchies, and non-slip socks, this kit will feel like a godsend in the hospital and during the weeks afterward.
10. Honest Company Self-Care Gift Kit
Even if you were deeply devoted to skincare before parenthood, almost every form of self-care goes out the window in the first few weeks (or even months!) of becoming a first-time mom. With surging hormones, dry and cracked nipples, and severe sleep deprivation, it takes a while to feel like yourself again. This kit made especially for mamas features body butter, body cream, cleansing oil, nipple balm, lip balm, and more so you can nourish your recovering body and make self-care a regular practice again.
