Mother’s Day Gift Guide……The Real Deal

As I said in yesterday’s preview…….During these trying times that we all have been living in, no one has had more of a burden to carry than the Moms in our world. For many already busy, time-starved women out there, extra roles have been added to her daily chore list. She has been the home-maker, the WFH (work from home) gal and in many cases the teacher she never knew she could be. Of course, for many courageous strong women out there that are also first responders, health care workers and/or doctors their days must be overwhelming!

So I’ve put some extra thought into gifts that can pamper our Moms out there and nurture their souls just a little……thinking of those things that would put a smile on her face…….beautiful fresh flowers, as only David Brown can arrange for her or a Book of Flowers from Cotton Club. There is some real indulgenece to be done at Kuhl-Linscomb where Mother’s Day treasures are overflowing…..personally I love those sweet ‘Mom sayings’ on the Busko Decoupage trays! There’s also a special fun Lele Sadoughi statement earring from Tootsies or a lovely Buccellati ear from Tenenbaum. For pure pampering you cannot beat a day at the spa and/or facial at Bella Rimova, a much earned mani/pedi from Beautique or an OMG color make-over (so beyond touch ups) from Ceron! After all that you can gift her with a photo session with Al Torres Photography that will be cherished by all. Lastly, how about getting her back on track after months of unscheduled living and random eating…..gift her with a visit with nutritionist Catherine Kruppa/Advice for Eating for some good advice and meal planning! I could not go into more detail on all of the gifts available, I want them all…….I picked this curated list of things I love. Please note that these are just samplings of the great assortments either on website or instore, please visit! Also, all are available online or instore, whichever your preferred shopping is these days!

I know that for many of these Moms there will be no greater gift on May 10 than a day filled with love and relaxation…….I encourage you to add that and make it an extra-special day of gratitude for the many strong, powerful and loving women out there!!
