gift guide 2023- no mom left behind

a mom, an aunt, a sister, a friend- all viable recipients here.

this one is maybe the most foolproof gift guide of them all as i am all of the above women. and i carefully chose each one with these parameters- would i want? is it affordable (most are VERY affordable) and would it spark joy? now, i’m not really a words on things or a monogram person but i’d be down with a needlepoint furb pillow or a cute lil catchall with my initials on it. and some of you requested a gift guide for the mother-type who is a live laugh love all day kinda gal- enter the furbish needlepoint pillow. this swiftie version is perfect for your mother in law with passive aggressive tendencies.

  1. winter is for cozies. and this cashsoft sweater and pants set are the definition of cozy but still chic and wearable outside the house.

  2. google pixel tablet- this is on the pricier side but if your mom/sister/wife etc like to watch bravo in peace this is the perfect gift. maybe you and your sibs can split it?

  3. francois halard 3- this is the design book to get. no matter her style. in fact especially if her style is live laugh love. she needs an education.

  4. rothy’s ballet flats are all the rage. cute and comfy. red is very on trend.

  5. HIGH on my wishlist is a blowdryer hairbrush. make it extra gift worthy with this saffron, pistachio and rose hair oil.

  6. this sea cardigan with bows is very special. would wear to every holiday party.

  7. magic hour earl gray tea. the packaging is so good. add this extra pretty tea strainer.

    8. soup mom would love this vintage portuguese clay pot.

    9. hotflash mom needs a coffee table worthy hand fan.

    10. no woman on earth does not want good skin. this retinol body treatment is high on my wishlist. this osea trio also.

    11. these snail mucin eye patches would make excellent stocking stuffers. and these tik tok trending hanacure mask dupes. (they are in my cart.)

    12. this little monogrammed jewelry travel case just feels right. does she wear jewelry? does she travel? perfect! i mean, i wouldn’t want it because i neither travel or wear jewelry. if anyone out there is taking notes.

    13. a canadian told me these ugg adirondack boots are without a doubt the warmest, most durable, long lasting winter boot in existence. so, if you were lookin’, look no further.

    14. if she likes pretty and practical things i recommend this john derian green tones tray. it’s literally perfect.

    15. if baths are her thing this serotonin soak will be the gift that gives approximately 32 times.

    16. and last on the list but one i think might be my favorite gift to give is a personalized tote ala ironic boat and tote. it’s basically buying a tote from ll bean and having a quirky quote, a nickname, something funny/personal to the recipient, inside joke etc monogrammed on it. take a peek here to see all the different ways people have done it. buy the tote and have it monogrammed here. (i mean jenna lyon’s version with ‘old celine’ is too good.
