Mother’s Day is just 2 weeks away. Of course she’s going to tell you ‘I don’t need anything,’ but in reality she deserves a little (or a lot) of spoiling…I mean really, let’s recall your days as a teenager…they were rough for her, I guarantee it. So it’s time to put some thought into it and treat these beautiful women we call mama!
I’ve broken down 3 gifts for specific moms – The Sentimental, The Sugar Mama & The Spa Queen. One of these will be sure to fit your mama’s style!
The Sentimental
I’ve mentioned Maja Arnold Design in a previous post, but wanted to highlight how perfect her collection is for Mother’s Day, especially for the woman who savors every memory, every photo, every hand-written note. This is for the mom who holds nostalgia close to her heart. Maja has a beautiful collection of sterling silver monogram necklaces that represent Love, Hope, Happy & Live. In addition, she creates Custom Initials – for the newlywed, new mom, grandmother, etc. They are unique pieces that tell the story of a modern family’s lineage.
Maja started designing after the loss of a baby, and as her other child battled cancer. She felt the need to create something meaningful that she could wear every day, close to her heart. Her story and unique style make this gift very powerful and ideal for the sentimental mom.

The Sugar Mama
If her love language is baking a batch of brownies, or has a Pinterest board that rivals Nestle, then your sweets-obsessed mom will love this gift. Founded in Seattle, Chococurb, is a monthly box subscription devoted to finding the most extraordinary chocolate and delivering it straight to your door. I just received my first box and it is so delicious. I filled out a ‘Chocolate Profile’ so they could match my preferences with a personalized curation. My Chococurb Mini box included a Salty-Licious Caribbean Sea Salt Bar in 71% Chocolate, a Vegan Fig Fennel & Almond Dark Chocolate Bar, and a Mexican-Style Stone Ground Chocolate Bar with Vanilla – all Organic. These are not your average Hershey bars – they are exquisite, unique, and to be savored one bite at a time.
There are two subscription options – The Chococurb box which includes 5-7 chocolate treats or the Chococurb Mini which includes 3. You can also purchase bars a la carte in their online shop.
Chococurb is perfect for the culinary enthusiast, dessert maven, or any mama who has the midnight sweet tooth (so that would be everyone, right?!).

The Spa Queen
If beauty is an important part in your mama’s routine, she will appreciate the last gift. I recently discovered the Emjoi Micro-Nail and have been obsessed with using it, especially since finding the time to get a manicure is far and few between. Here’s how it works (and why she’ll love it) – in just a few seconds it buffs and shines your nails, leaving them ultra shiny, lasting up to 2 weeks. It seriously looks like you’re wearing a clear coat of polish. Plus, it’s compact so perfect for travel.
The Micro-Nail is under $30 and is perfect as is or create a little pampered package including some bath products and candles. Encourage her to treat herself to a night in – we could all use a little reminder to relax and restore. ♥

I hope these ideas inspired you to spoil your mama this Mother’s Day (which is May 8th btw). And if you’re feeling lucky, I am giving away a little something extra you can add to her gift ♥. It’s a mini fill-in-the-blank book that allows you to write in what you love about mom. :) Enter view the rafflecopter below!
