Happy Mother’s Day: Celebrate with Special Gifts

This Mother’s Day calls for all kinds of really special gifts, especially since Mom may be experiencing the lockdown blues. Being deprived of visits, personal celebrations and travel, she may need the cheer that a thoughtful gift can evoke.

14k Yellow Gold Hoop Earrings

For the mom who loves bling, JTV offers a huge selection of trendy jewelry at affordable prices. There are layering bangle bracelets, ring stacks, dramatic pendants–and so much more. I like these understated gold earrings in 14K yellow gold, priced at a moderate $152.09

For the Mom who loves to cook and enjoys practical gifts, the recently launched MasterChef CHAMPIONS’ Cookware Collection.

The cookware is antimicrobial. With the Fusion Guard Technology, each piece is infused with silver ions, which inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria. The titanium reinforced non-stick coating provides long-lasting durability and stress-free functionality, while the durable five-layer construction gives consistent, evenly distributed heating and warp free strength.

Equally important, the cookware is non-toxic. All pots and pans deliver an enhanced PTFE-, PFOA-, and PFOS-PTFE-free cooking surface.

Best of all, the pots and pans are attractive and would enhance any kitchen décor. (If Mom’s a fan of the MasterChef cooking show, she will absolutely love this collection. With every set of cookware, MasterChef champions include prize-winning recipes.)

This collection is now available on FusionGuardCook.com starting at $59.99. However, right now there’s a Mother’s Day sale (50% off!) at the following link: https://event.fusionguardcook.com/

If Mom’s cupboard space is tight, this gift provides her with state-of-the-art cookware that is beautifully stackable. The New Meyer Accent 6-Piece Mixed Metal Set ($299.99) was recently launched by Meyer, a new global cookware brand, and recipient of the coveted Red Dot Product Design Award. This well-curated, problem-solving set smartly includes a mix of materials, such as nonstick frying pans for foods prone to sticking, and cookware pieces with stainless steel surfaces for searing, simmering, and steaming. Stockpots have a special anti-boil-over design, and cookware rims are intentionally designed to prevent drips when pouring.

Stackable for seamless nesting, the set features just two stackable and multi-fitting Universal Lids to decrease clutter. This cookware is not only great to cook with, it’s also a dream to store.

Upgrade Mom’s bed with “smart” sheets from pizuna linens. These 5-star hotel quality sheet sets are made from extra soft 100% long staple cotton. They are 400 thread count, sweat wicking and temperature balancing, Individually tailored to ensure maximum comfort.

The sets are refreshingly light weight, available in trendy colors in a full range of sizes from Twin to California King; prices start at $34.99.

Quince, the brand that offers affordable luxury quality items without compromising quality, has a lush collection of items for the bedroom.

My favorite is the lightweight goose down comforter, made with luxurious 700 fill power European white goose down and sewn through construction for extra breathability for hot sleepers or warm climates. Finished with sturdy, double stitched seams, it will keep Mom comfortable throughout the night.

The sewn through construction provides lighter weight and extra breathability for hot sleepers or warm climates. Double stitched edges with German piping make for durability; there are corner loops to tie duvet and keep cover in place. The comforter is made in the USA of imported materials.

For the mom who, before COVID-19, visited a spa every couple of weeks–and now stays home–give the gift of spa-ing at home with Spongellé Body Gift Sets. Each set contains 3 products to cleanse, exfoliate, massage, and nourish: their Hand & Body Wash, Hand & Body Lotion and a Body Wash Infused Buffer. You can select from 4 fragrances: French Lavender, Freesia Pear, Coconut Verbena and Bulgarian Rose.

Spongellé is known for their custom-created fragrances and body treatments. The sets contain everything needed for an at-home spa experience while the aromas of citruses, florals and ambers delight the senses. ($56 each; Skimlinks at 15%).

To reinforce the sense of spa-at-home in any room of the house, consider the gift of home fragrance from Carrière Frères.

The ‘Love is a Rose’ collection consists of ‘La Rose aime le Poivre’ and ‘La Rose aime la Menthe’. The new fragrances blend Damascus Rose with contrasting Spearmint and Pepper to create two new fresh and spicy aromas for the modern mom. For the mom with a classic taste, the Tomato or Lavender fragrances are reminiscent of the French countryside.

All fragrances come in a beautiful candle-set encased in colored matte glass vessels and packaging decorated with florals.

Be sure to celebrate Mom with her favorite wine. Mine is rosé, so I’m hoping one of my kids will take the hint. The Pink Flamingo is gently price at $13.99 and it is pretty to look at, with a pale salmon color. The wine has an intense nose with notes of red berries and white peach enhanced with notes of citrus fruit–and is generous on the palate, with notes of white-fleshed fruit, enhanced by a nice saline finish.

And finally, if you are a mom, celebrate yourself by splurging on a treat that will make you feel good.

Happy Mother’s Day to all moms everywhere!
