Mother’s Day 2015 Gift Guide

Feyi Bello / Monday May 4, 2015

Finding unique and personal Mother’s Day gifts can be a challange, especially if you have Mothers-in-Law, Step-Mothers and Godmothers to buy for, too! This is one holiday where the gift really should be something she “wants” rather than something she “needs”. So have fun with it!

Start by thinking about what she likes to do. Does she love to entertain? Is she the first one in line to grab the latest lipstick from Sephora? Let her indulge in a special gift she may not buy for herself. Don’t forget about traditional gifts, too- after a few years of searching for options in lieu of a fragrance set, I realize my mom is likely out of her favorite Chanel Allure perfume. If you or your Dad can do a bit of snooping to find an indulgence she really does need, then even better!

Follow our Mother’s Day 2015 Gift Guide for some of this year’s best treats, from fragrance to crystals.
