Mother's Day
Mother’s Day comes out of nowhere, looms over you and judges you for all the dodgy last-minute gift buys you’ve made in its presence. The meaningless chocolate box. The flowers she won’t water. The gift card that screamed ‘WE RAN OUT OF IDEAS’. WE DID OKAY. We’ve done it too and hated ourselves for it so we built this gift collection to solve exactly that problem.
We spent ages picking everything out on this list for one version of one woman. One Mother. Not the average demographic mother you see sketched out in marketing meetings. We mean the real mother. The one with the actual preferences. The mum who has a cupboard full of ‘treat yourself to a relaxing bath’ gift sets she’ll never use. The mom who deserves something that screams ‘HEY, I was actually thinking about you when I bought this.’ Because she does deserve that. And also because it kinda matters to get mother’s day right.
That’s why we kept this list short. You don’t need 50 gifts. You just need 5 good ones that you can trust will be appreciated. Some of these things are small and wonderful. Things she’d never treat herself to but will use everyday. Some of them are substantial and thoughtful; the kinds of gifts you pick when you really want a day to be remembered instead of just brushing by adequately. A couple are things she’ll never have imagined asking for but will thank you for when she sees it.
And the mum’s that really stump us for gifts? The ones that say they don’t want anything. The ones who truly have everything. The ones who you worry you still don’t know quite well enough even after all these years. We thought about them the most, actually. There’s a gift for them here. Because if you get mum something generic, you’re telling her you didn’t care enough to try and she will know. Mum always knows.
We didn’t pick anything because it’d photograph nicely on Instagram or because it’s ‘Popular on Amazon’. We picked these gifts because we looked at it and thought yes. That’s the one. That will be the thing that hits the spot. Take it from us, you don’t want to show up empty handed or god forbid, wilt a loser gift as evidence that you were about to.
