I do not want my toddlers art.
I do not want him to make me breakfast.
I spend most of my days covered in dirt, snot, and some sort of jam (did we even eat jam?) so for Mothers’ Day I think something a little more elegant is in order. Something that reminds me that I’m a woman, not just a mother. Something I want!
So without further ado, here is my Mothers’ Day gift guide for 2023. Whether you’re shopping for yourself, a mother figure in your life, or if you’re just going to send this link to your partner (especially if your partner is a dude and maybe doesn’t even remember that Mothers’ Day is coming up…) this one’s for you.

For the Hostess:
Does your mother figure love to invite people over for cozy and/or elaborate gatherings? These striped cloth napkins are so much more elegant and sustainable than the disposable plastic ones my mom always used! I use my cloth napkins when I have company, but they also are great to line a serving bowl or plate that I’m stuffing full of muffins or cookies to keep out on the counter!

For the Explorer:
Now that my mom is partially retired, she loves to go on adventures with her girlfriends to all the places she was too busy to go to while taking care of, well, me. This travel bag set is perfect for the woman on the go! The linen bags are so much nicer than trying to shove all your stuff into plastic bags! Actually, I might have to get these for myself also….

For the Achiever:
Is your mom a go-getter? She’s on committees and boards, working her a$$ off? Basically, she’s got a short skirt and a long jacket, if you know what I mean?
This sticky note set will elevate her desk and remind her how much you appreciate all the hard work she does! It comes with graph paper sticky notes and an elegant minimalist concrete holder. A stationery hoarder’s dream!

For the Gardener:
My mom-in-law has the greenest of green thumbs. Her lawn is, well, it’s not really a lawn so much as a lush rainforest full of edible plants and pollinator plants. She grows beautiful flowers and if your mom does too then she’ll love one of these unique vases to show off her cut flowers! (Tip: Present them with some flowers already inside alongside the traditional breakfast-in-bed!)
