Mother’s Day Gift Guide

April 27, 2016 by Hillary 3 Comments

Hi friends!

I’m switching things up today and taking a break from Europe Diary posts (just Switzerland and Sweden to go) because Mother’s Day is around the corner (Sunday, May 8), and after writing lots about our mother-daughter adventure, I am reminded of just how special of a relationship I have with my mom. She showers me with love constantly, whether it be an hour-long, teary heart-to-heart when I’m PMSing, or a card in the mail with TurmericBoost Uplift to cheer me up. My mom is that person who hears it all – there are no walls between us – and she probably knows more about me than she wants to. Even at 26, I need my mom.

Mother’s Day isn’t the only day I try to show appreciation to my mama for all that she does for me, emotionally and physically, as I can only imagine that being a mom is the toughest job in the world (and hopefully rewarding, too); but, because the annual holiday is next weekend, I came up with a few gift ideas that my mom may enjoy, and perhaps will give you ideas, too.

Mother's Day Gift Guide

Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

Rosehip Oil

I personally have been using and loving Acure Organics products and have recently started using this facial oil myself. Rosehip oil “is known as a balancing oil due to its low pH to help protect the skin’s natural acid mantle and its concentration of antioxidants. Feed and restore cells, while correcting the signs of aging and environmental damage with natural lycopene, Vitamin C + E and essential fatty acids.” Pair it with this Rose Lip Polish for a gift set to pamper mom.

Stitch Fix Gift Card*

I received my first fix in February, and it was so much fun! I kept this blanket scarf and a pair of ultra comfy skinny jeans. Whether your mom is a fashionista, or she doesn’t enjoy shopping at all, a Stitch Fix gift card is a gift most any woman would appreciate. With a gift card, she can set up her style profile, and select when she would like her fix delivered. When she’s receives her fix, she can apply her gift card to the clothing pieces, shoes, and accessorizes that she decides to keep.

Cookbook

Is your mom a foodie? Eating Purely, It’s All Easy, and Minimalist Baker’s Everyday Cooking are a few beautiful (healthy) recipe books that I have my eye on.

Personalized Journal/Notebook

Minted has lovely journals and notebooks that you can customize for a personal gift. Add a set of stationary for a thoughtful touch.

Rollerball Perfume

I love this fresh, floral Anemone scent from Illume (pair with a bouquet of anemone flowers), and Pacifica has a variety of natural roll-on perfumes for an affordable price.

I also love to browse Etsy for cute cards. Who doesn’t appreciate a sweet card? I truly think it is a mom’s favorite thing to receive.

    I love that you have such a great relationship with your mom! This was a great reminder that I need to think of something to send mine. I love all of these ideas! I just started using Acure’s face scrub and night cream and they are both awesome. I’ll have to check out the rosehip oil next!

❷⓿❷⓿ - moved clear across the country to ❷⓿❷⓿

- moved clear across the country to a new state for the second time
- hopped from one AirBNB to the next for 6 weeks while looking for a house to call home
- made new friends, virtually & IRL
- binge watched more TV shows than I can recall
- leveled up as an entrepreneur: hitting milestones with my virtual assistant and @beautycounter businesses
- voted for a new president 
- ascended new trails and explored alpine lakes of the Pacific Northwest 
- adapted: to Zoom holidays, takeout, and masked faces becoming the (temporary) norm

This challenging year was all about appreciating the little things while living through some really BIG things. 2020 had more than a few lessons to teach us all. Through a pandemic, pivotal change in presidency, and loud cry for human rights, I see very clearly how privileged I am. It was the year to let go of plans and lean in to a new perspective. 

After all, hindsight is ②⓪②⓪.

Best thing about 2020... for me, it’s been relationships - virtual and IRL.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
One of the goals that I set for 2020 was to make one new local friend in Seattle (seriously something I wrote down as I began the new year moving across the country). While I’m happy to say that I did so (during a pandemic), I feel fortunate for the virtual friendships that developed, too.⁣⁣

I’ve gotta take a second to give a shoutout to my newest soul sista @weeksofwonder. You helped me get after it during my second year of entrepreneurship with a hefty dose of #2020 mayhem. 🙏🏼⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Wendy and I met here on IG, and what started as a business relationship and accountability partner has turned into a special bond that transcends any walkie-talkie or social media app. This creative spirit has not only inspired me to get after it and dream bigger as an entrepreneur, but in the same way has encouraged me to honor rest and play: whether it’s giving each other kudos on Strava for tackling a run, building badass business plans and packages, or simply holding space to share the wins and the many woes, personally and professionally, of a memorable year. Having Wendy in my corner has led to some serious momentum and a sense of consistent community.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
2020 has been a shit show, but it delivered GRL PWR 👊🏻⁣⁣
⁣⁣
We want to hear from YOU: Who has been your supportive soul sister through the ups and downs of 2020? ⁣⁣
