Mother's Day Gift Guide 2020

Mother's Day 2020 is just around the corner, and since I can officially celebrate this year, I've gathered up a few things I have my eye on, both for myself and for the mother's in my life. I'll try to keep this list updated each time I think of something new. ​

Last year, I was very pregnant, and had Dane's Mom and family over for lunch, and then my Mom and family over for dinner. It was so nice to be able to celebrate with everyone, and although we won't be able to do that this year, I still have big plans for celebrating my Mom this year. But no more on that yet. She might be reading this! So let's just get into these ideas. 

1. 'Mama' Necklace

I've seen these necklaces floating around the gram lately, and I'm obsessed. They look super cute layered with other necklaces, like the one I'll mention in #7. But the best part about this one, is the price. The ones I've seen are in the $60 range, and honestly, I want more than just a $60 necklace to celebrate this year. 

This one is from Etsy, and is currently on sale for $25.34! The price varies a bit with letter count and color, but the price I mentioned is for the necklace photographed. I've already passed this idea onto Dane, so I'm pretty hopeful. You can find it here. 

2. Pink Satin Eye Mask

Okay, so I'm not usually an eye mask kinda girl. But I'll be honest, I need help sleeping these days. Lenna is teething, so I'm either up late trying to get her to go to sleep, or I'm up in the middle of the night trying to put her back to sleep. But when the sun is up, so am I. I just can't sleep with all the light. As much as I love waking up with the warm sun on my face, I've learned I only love it when I got a good night's sleep. So this mask is on my radar. Anything to help me sleep a little later. Especially since Dane and I agreed that he's to do the early morning 'baby duty'. Since I have more patience at 3am. 

3. Umbrian Clay Purifying Mask

​Before our wedding, I bought the Umbrian Clay Mattifying Mask by fresh, and LOVE IT! I can't find it anywhere any more, so as soon as I run out of it, I'll be reaching for this. And the best part about a face mask? You can do it while working from home during this quarantine and NO ONE WILL KNOW. 

4. De-Puffing Jade Mini Facial Roller

Jade rollers have been popular for a hot minute now, but it's on my list now more than ever. This one is from Sephora, but you can get them almost anywhere now. It's built to have a cooling/soothing effect on your skin, and promotes drainage from the face all while reducing facial tension. Being in the peak of allergy season, I could definitely use all the help ridding of drainage! And with it's small size, it's perfect in a carry-on when we're all allowed to travel again! 

5. Candles

Candles are always a great gift because what girl doesn't love the ambiance a lit candles gives? I found this pair on Amazon, and it caught my attention since it's in a pack of 2. One for me, one for you? Or one for my mom, and one for his mom? I haven't quite figured out how it'll pan out quite yet. 

6. Complete Wellness Book

You may have heard me mention this book on my Instagram. I received it from my MIL this past Christmas, and it really is the most interesting coffee table book! It has so many great natural remedies for .....well, everything. I'm definitely not against modern medicine, but if I can ease my sufferings with natural things first, it's worth a try, right? Right now I have my eye on the Vitamin C Stress Buster drink. I'll add the recipe to my Recipe Highlight on my Instagram in case any of you want to try it too. 

7. Personalized Initial Necklace

REALLY excited about this one. Probably because I already have my heart set on it for my Mother's Day gift for myself this year. I love that it can easily be layered with other necklaces (like the one in #1), and then you can easily add initials for each child as the years go by. Right now, Lenna is my one and only, so this is the only one I'll need this year. This one is from Amazon and only costs $12.99. I think my Mom could really love something like this too. Personalization is so popular for Mother's Day, and what Mom wouldn't want to be reminded of their children each and every day?!

8. Meal Planner

Meal planning is something a lot of us struggle with. I create my own list each week where I can list our meal plan, and then also list what we need and what we already have. The goal for me each week is to list as little as possible on the 'need' side so that we minimize our waste and our spending on groceries each week. This book is great for meal planning and even throws in a few recipe ideas! This would be the perfect gift for anyone you know trying to do better with meal planning week to week. 

9. Cute Pajama Set

I've been spending more and more time in my pj's these days, so I'm really looking forward to upping my game this summer. This set is from H&M and is perfect for the warmer months ahead. 

10. Comfy 'Warm Weather' Slippers

Who hasn't seen this slipper style floating around the internet a lot lately? I have slippers that I love, but these look so practical as the weather warms up. They have a no-slip rubber sole and have all the breathability your feet will need this spring. This pair is from Amazon, is offered in so many different colors, and only costs $16.99!

Obviously I'm most excited about the personalized jewelry options, but all of these items are great for any budget, and are pretty much all practical, everyday items. Feel free to send this list over to your significant other if they're needing a little help in the gift department this Mother's Day. 

Thanks for reading!
