Written by Annabel Wickham
As Mother’s Day rolls around the corner (May 12th for those of you who just broke out in a cold sweat), it can be difficult and often stressful to find the perfect gift that really illustrates how appreciative you are towards your mother. That’s where we come in! Refer to our curated gift guide, where we have shared our favorite picks that will make a wonderful gift for your wonderful mother.
Mother Nature Pack
Milk & Honey Coffee: Hook your mom up with the serious caffeine kick she deserves for raising you! Start her morning off on a high note with a fresh cup of creamy coffee from Charleston. If you can’t remember, your mother definitely recalls those early days waking up for work and getting you to school and for that alone, she deserves this coffee with hints of milk and honey (delightful and sweet just like your mother)!
Coffee Plant Mug: Going for a themed gift? For those coffee-loving mothers, add on our Plant Coffee Mug to create the perfect gift set that she is sure to love. This mug is sure to put you in a calm headspace whenever it’s being held and combines two of life's best simple pleasures in plants & a good ole cup o’ joe!
Cozy Caregiver Pack
Saguaro Cactus Candle: Always a classic and fan favorite! The Saguaro Cactus Candle is the most interesting and delightfully scented candle you’ll ever own. It’s the perfect way to create a cozy and comfortable environment for a day of self-care and relaxation. With an aroma reminiscent of flowers and aloe, your mom will love to take this refreshing scent in for a relaxing bath or a snuggle on the couch.
Pastel Socks: While on the subject of relaxation and comfort, our Pastel Socks are the softest socks to put on to lounge around the house (or slide around in Risky Business style). If the breathability and softness weren’t enough, the toes of each sock feature a cute lil surfer illustration for a pop of fun.
The Thinker Pack
The Cutest Bookmarks: Is your mom a big reader? More importantly, is she so crazy as to dogear her books? If you answered yes to either of those questions, we’ve got the perfect gift for you. Even the most boring of books gets a little better when you’re using an adorable bookmark to keep your place. Your mother is sure to love either one of our bookmarks (Raccoon or Fish) when she is spending the day at the beach or in bed having a late-night read!
Mini-Jotter: No one takes or leaves notes like a mom. Add on one of our Mini Jotter Notebooks alongside a bookmark, so that your mom can write down her daily notes, reminders, or even book reviews while she reads!
While you’re at it, let’s not forget that Father’s Day is not too far off either (June 16th)! You might as well kill two birds with one stone all in the same go. Check out these sweet gift ideas for your father and show how grateful you are to have him in your life!
Let’s not forget the illustrious words of Michael Scott - “Presents are the best way to show someone how much you care. It's like this tangible thing that you can point to and say, ‘Hey, man, I love you this many dollars worth.’"

Byrd Flock Favorite Set: What else can you ask for in a grooming set? Upgrade your father’s morning routine with the Byrd Flock Favorite Set! Everyone deserves to feel and look their best, and that is exactly what this gift will do for your dapper dad.

Fishing Log Book: What’s more ‘dad’ than fishing? After a long day fishing, this book is the ideal way to keep track of your adventures. This journal comes in a set of two, making it an opportunity to gift the perfect bonding experience rather than just a book.

Cooler Drink Bag: This cooler bag is the perfect gift for any beach-loving or adventurous dad.
