Gift Rapt: What Moms Really Want This Mother’s Day
Share News:
A mother’s love — there’s nothing like it. Which is why we’re giving you a three-week head’s up: Sunday, May 9th is Mother’s Day. Don’t wait until the last minute to find the perfect present. We’ve done the legwork for you with can’t-miss gifts for all the moms (and mother figures) in your life.
Bronze Hug Sculpture
Moms love hugs. And hopefully you can give her a real one this year. She’ll also adore Dallas artist Jennifer Troice’s handcrafted Hug sculptures. An added plus: Every sale benefits the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
Vibrating Fitness Roller
Take foam rolling to the next level. This ingenious roller is equipped with Hyperice’s powerful percussive technology to stretch and massage muscles at the same time.
Wine Packs
A toast to mothers everywhere. We’ve found two giftable, sure-to-be-appreciated choices. Usual Wines’ sustainably-farmed, small-lot wines come in exquisite glass bottles. Or opt for a whimsically-packaged four-pack from Dear Mom Wine Company. The Portland, Oregon-based brand supports a variety of charities that benefit moms locally and globally.
Heated Mug and Saucer
Mom’s morning cup of joe just got a whole lot cooler. This app-controlled Ember smart mug keeps beverages toasty for up to an hour and a half on a single charge. Plus, auto sleep functionality senses when to turn it on and off.
Gravity Weighted Blanket
What better gift than a relaxing night of sleep? Tiny beads in this cozy, micro-fleece gravity blanket provide just enough pressure to help relieve stress, anxiety, and insomnia.
Exclusive Signed Edition: Cook, Eat, Repeat
Mark your calendar: Saturday, April 24th is Independent Bookstore Day. Signed editions of Nigella Lawson’s newly-released Cook, Eat, Repeat collectible cookbook — a delicious combination of recipes intertwined with narrative essays — will be available for one day only at local indie favorite, Interabang Books. Stop by the Lovers Lane store for more exclusive merchandise, giveaways, gift ideas, and refreshments from neighboring businesses.
Table Toppers
These stunners are from a growing gift repertoire now available at Elements, Dallas’ beloved fashion emporium. Among our favorites: Kim Seybert’s ombre dip-dye napkins and handmade brass flare rings.
Goddess Pillow
Idda Studio’s decorative silk pillow, featuring Italian artist Gabriella Picone’s original Roman artwork, celebrates every mother’s inner goddess.
Hermes Lipstick
We can’t help it. We’re a sucker for that chichi orange box. For luxury gift-giving on a budget, treat Mom to the quintessential red lipstick: Rouge H, an emblematic color of the house of Hermès. The insanely chic case is designed by French fashion designer Pierre Hardy.
Beauty Cloths
Save her skin and Mother Earth with this set of sustainably-minded, reusable makeup cloths. Made of Norwex’s exclusive, super-soft, self-purifying Microfiber.
“You Are Everything” Neon Sign
A bright idea — literally. We found this handwritten neon sign on Gwyneth Paltrow’s irreverent Goop site. Done in warm white LED light, the glow is especially pretty after dark.
Baccarat and Roses
Flowers for Mother’s Day? Step it up this year with an ultra-luxe Baccarat gift set. A trio of vases and 30 Avalanche roses make the ordinary, extraordinary.
Molteni&C Custom Closet
These 100 percent customizable closets are the epitome of Italian style–not to mention, 2021’s ultimate fantasy gift. Molteni&C Creative Director Vincent Van Duysen’s unique tailored designs offer an array of options including innovative finishes, sophisticated accessories, and lighting systems. Preview the possibilities at the new Molteni&C Flagship, opening early May in Abitare 18’s Design District Showroom.
