Gift (and Do-Not-Gift) Mother's Day List
Please no mugs with our faces on them
Pull up your calendar right now: Mother’s Day is May 10! Yes, that’s in two weeks. Yes, it is almost May. And yes, we are also deeply confused about how that happened.
We know “robe for Mom” sounds like the gift equivalent of a participation trophy. But hear us out: Have you ever received a really, really good robe? The kind you live in? That’s the Weezie robe (pic above!) and we are both obsessed. So this is the exception to the rule. And John and Jeremy, if you’re reading this (which I’m sure y’all are!) we’ll happily take another, plus a few extras from the list below. Thanks for the partnership, guys!
Our Do-Not-Gift List
Clea
Dish towels with words. Nice words, funny words, sentimental words: Does. Not. Matter.
Joanna
Pajamas that are too long. Even the shorts. (Petite friends, rise up!)
Both of Us
A “cute” mug. No one-off black sheep cups in the pantry. Chills. And if our face is on it, it might accidentally fall to the floor and shatter immediately. Oops.
THE Gift List
How chic would this ring look in a stack? (Psst: First timers get 10% off)
This brand Apartment 837 makes fake flower arrangements that actually aren’t hideous. The gift that keeps on giving.
The scent of this “Leather Appointment” candle stopped us in our tracks.
The aforementioned robe that has changed the robe experience forever.
We actually love these in the birthstone colors of our kids. (Nothing against full names around our necks, but no thank you.)
Clea splurged on this Dior card holder, and she is obsessed. (I mean, you use it every single day. It’s called investing.
Seriously, the only products you need in your shower. Treat yourself.
We see you, mahjong. And we get it. Hell, we love it! But seriously, Rummikub is the GOAT. (Sutton said I can still say GOAT.) And disguised as an elevated coffee table book? No notes.
Perfect pairing alert: This St. Ives sweater with a plane ticket. To St. Ives.
Remember when we were worried about “going from day to night with ease” in the ‘90s? Great news: This perfect summer shoe is doing the work.
Joanna hates (hates, hates, hates!) pajamas that are too long — what are we, hemming our pajamas? Who has time? She needs these in every color.
If you’ve been with us for a while, you know who added this to the list. Best Swedish candies ever!
This gift is not a trick! We are obsessed with these weights because THEY DON’T LOOK LIKE WEIGHTS.
Happy (early!) Mother’s Day to our moms and to every extraordinary woman in our lives. We love you, we appreciate you, we’d be lost without you. You might be seeing some of these gifts on your doorsteps soon! 👀
