Cheese and charcuterie boards are insanely popular right now, and we all know a couple of master entertainer moms AND grandmothers out there who would be over the moon to show off one (or a few) of these personalized boards. As an added bonus, this board comes with a built-in drawer and a cheese cutlery set— perfect for holiday entertaining or for just a regular ol’ wine night!
Boutique Earrings by Bella Pelle
I stumbled upon this little gem of a boutique through a friend’s Facebook page and I am SO glad I did! Her unique leather, wood, and tassel earrings are one of a kind and hand made by an all-American hometown girl from Kearney, MO. They are sure to spice up any outfit. Her earrings are super stylish and affordable so feel free to buy a few pairs!
I literally cannot think of just ONE gift from this website to feature! Anything I have tried from Brumate keeps your drinks ice cold— which says a lot since we have tested them through the crazy Arizona summers! Whether the mom in your life sips on wine, beer, or the ever-so-popular slim can spiked seltzer drinks by the pool or by the lake, there is a cool cup or coozie for her! Plus, they are SO pretty!
Animal Spirit Bar Necklace by Stamps of Love
Do you know a Mom who will take a bite out of anyone who messes with her babies? Well, we have the ideal gift if you do! This expertly engraved Spirit Animal bar necklace can be personalized with her favorite Animal along with the number of baby's. Don’t fret if she doesn’t wear silver jewelry— this necklace is also available in yellow and rose gold. This necklace is such a fun way to celebrate her brood!
This mustard crochet slouchy beanie is the perfect accessory for any fall and winter wardrobe and can be worn a few different ways depending on the preferred style! Each one is accented with a soft suede tag to give it that unique boutique look. This beanie is soft, comfy, and stretchy which makes it an ideal gift to be worn during all of the outdoor holiday festivities.
OK, I know we shared the Instant Pot in one of our earlier blog posts as one of the best time-saving gifts for mom, but this Instant Pot is truly eye candy! With a beautiful blue base and lid, as well as a floral covering, it is sure to serve as an accent piece as well as a time-saving cooking machine. Plus- it comes with some amazing new upgrades!
I know SO many families who have amazing family recipes that everyone helps cook around the holidays. Think: Grandma’s special cookie recipes, Aunt Karen’s to-die-for apple pie, or mom’s heavenly spiced nuts that she gives away as gifts every year. The memories of making and eating these family treasures can all be captured in a personalized cookbook complete with photos of your family inserted.
Birth Stats Necklace by Stamps of Love
If you have a new mom in your life and you are looking for the perfect keepsake gift, look no further! This Birth Stats necklace comes engraved with baby’s weight, length, time of birth, birth date, and name. You can also add a beautiful Swarovski birthstone to give it that special touch. This necklace even comes packaged in a blue organza bag ready to be placed under the tree!
I don’t know about you, but I’m a sucker for amazing sheets, and the fact that these sheets have over 40,000 5 star reviews, something tells me I’m not the only one! This website is all about luxurious comfort without the luxury price tag. Yes, they are a little pricier than Target sheets, but the buttery soft feel is second to none. What’s more, they didn’t stop at sheets— you can now buy super plush towel sets and loungewear from them!
I was first introduced to these amazing watercolor portraits through a friend who had tragically experienced two miscarriages this past year. The painting of her husband, herself, their son, and their two Angel Babies standing together as a family that she received as a gift was literally breathtaking. After that, I had to see more of this painter’s work! These paintings are a beautiful way to showcase your family outside of the run of the mill picture portraits!
Ok, this gift is seriously one of my top 3 most wanted gifts EVERY year, lol! What busy mother CAN’T benefit from letting someone else do all the dirty work while she, oh I don’t know… actually *G-A-S-P* relaxes?? Trust me, you will get major points for this gift!
Now that we’ve given you a sneak peek at what is popular this year, we hope it helps you find the perfect gift for the important moms and grandmothers in your life! Although some of the gifts in this particular blog are not personalized as per usual, they focus on what speaks to a woman’s soul-- I mean, what mom out there doesn’t want to save a ton of time cooking in the Instant Pot while someone ELSE cleans her house so she can take her time choosing what cute handmade earrings to wear tonight? It’s a no brainer!
