No need to sacrifice style for speed; these gift ideas combine both to create a memorable Mother’s Day.
Good things take time — and sometimes, the best gift ideas come to mind at the last minute. Thankfully, the era of Amazon Prime and expedited shipping exists to save the day — or, in this case, Mother’s Day. While extravagant presents will undoubtedly be appreciated, it’s the sentiment, care, love and thought infused into the gift that truly resonates with moms. Whether it’s a handmade card filled with heartfelt words, a simple gesture of spending quality time together, or an item she doesn’t know she needs, these gestures often carry more weight than any fancy gift. After all, Mother’s Day is a celebration of the unbreakable bond between a mother and her child(ren), and the most precious gifts are those that speak volumes about the depth of that unique connection.
Sweet July Skin
Give your mother the gift of self-care with Ayesha Curry’s Sweet July Skin. Inspired by her Caribbean heritage, the soon-to-be mother of four launched the skincare brand to share some of the natural skincare remedies and recipes her mother and grandmother taught her growing up. This Mother’s Day, enrich your mom’s beauty rituals with Sweet July Skin’s essential kit ($120) or face towel set ($38).
Keys Soulcare
Remind Mama to care for her “whole self” with a Keys Soulcare gift set. With the help of dermatologists, Alicia Keys — a mother of two — created a line of skincare products made with gentle, powerful formulas to create a nourishing and nurturing experience. As ancient and modern ingredients combine to nurture the skin’s needs, the affirmations on each beautifully packaged product nurture the soul, reminding users to create small moments to empower themselves.
Priced from $24 to $56, all of Key Soulcare’s Mother’s Day gift sets are available on Amazon.
