I think I can speak for every mother, young and old, that a framed photo of our babies is always appreciated. Go back and find one where the rolls are plenty, and smiles are gummy.

I may put the values deck on every gift guide (haha), but it is my go-to gift. As mothers, distracted by 1000000+ things, we are always looking for ways to help us feel grounded in our true heart values.

How about a cutie vase and a bouquet of dried flowers?!

Or a basket of vibrant California citrus! Lady and Larder have the most beautiful gift baskets, and I highly suggest adding on a membership to their cheese club.

I adore Mother Tongue magazine— it’s not your usual “parenting” magazine. It captures the variation in our lives as mothers and beyond.

Back to the first photo gift idea, but instead put it in a dainty heart locket!

These pans are essential, for real. And you can use it to make mom pancakes in the morning.

Wit & Delight notebooks are another of my go-to gifts. This one is perfect for Mother’s Day, and these glass squiggly straws for her morning iced coffee you will bring her in bed 😉

And then you can place this door hanger on her door. Something that should be sent home from the hospital with every new mother. It is so easy for us to get touched out, and we deserve more breathing room. And with these, you don’t even have to use your small sum of energy to ask!

No more boxes of chocolates. We want boxes of BON BONS!!

Jami, the creator of the values deck mentioned above and founder of the well-lived woman sisterhood, created a collection of tea, and this one sounds especially special: rose petals, red chile, and vanilla.. yum! And while you are there, grab this perfect speckled ruffle bowl.

To go with the tea, there is no better tea mug than this one.

The book Tartufo is an escape to Italy without the plane ride and she can join our book club, too!

And the gift of all gifts: the Rupert sofa. Hands down my favorite sofa I have ever sat on. This new verde green color is to die for.
