Mother’s Day is quickly approaching on May 8, just a few weeks away. Last year I really embraced the holiday as a mother and I have thoroughly been looking forward to celebrating it again. I think a sacredness exists within the holiday to honor the sacrifice, responsibility, joy, and difficulty of being a mother. I now like to take the opportunity to acknowledge the amazing mothers in my life with small tokens that say, You do awesome work and you are appreciated! Or, if you’re looking for something extra special (perhaps for a momentous Mother’s Day occasion, her first? Or twenty-fifth?) there’s something for that in this Mother’s Day Gift Guide, too. The few gifts I’ve received on Mother’s Day are held incredibly dear to my heart and make me smile with every use. I would feel the same about any of these sweet goodies as well!

One: A fresh spring tote with fun details.
Two: A happy tumbler for beverages on the go.
Three: An extra special pair of earrings that will last forever.
Four: A chic vase for home. Bonus if combined with #12!
Five: New sunglasses that will update an outfit.
Six: A modern spin on the classic signet ring.
Seven: Break-from-the-norm salad servers
Eight: A catch-all dish with an important reminder.
Nine: Don’t forget a heartfelt card!
Ten: Spring wine and cheese pairings to celebrate with evenings at home.
Eleven: The most comfortable sandals that do not require an ounce of effort, because who has time for laces and buckles?
Twelve: Flowers. Always.
Thirteen: A compact little clutch in the perfect shade of pink to take out sans kids.
Fourteen: A luxurious indulgence for beautiful skin in a handy starter kit.
