A Mother's Day Gift Guide
A fine jewelry brand doing things differently, what I wish I'd had as a new mom and a collection of gift ideas for the moms who do it all.
As Mother’s Day quickly creeps up on us, we are again confronted with the most daunting of tasks: How do you adequately show a mother how much she means to you? No matter what you say or do, it never seems to be enough.
As a mother, it’s the little things that matter most to me. The “I love you” and “thank you” in the in-between moments when they are least expected. It’s the cooking and cleaning that I don’t have to do, when the mental load becomes a little less heavy to carry and I can be completely present with my little one. It’s the reminder that I am a good mom when I’ve had a hard day. It is my village and all that they do, and for those in it I am most grateful. This will likely change as my role evolves, but for now it is this, and Mother’s Day is an important reminder of the beauty that can be found amongst all of the chaos.
Mother’s Day looks different for everyone, even meanings and sentiments vary, and that in and of itself is beautiful, too. For those on the hunt for something special, this guide may be a good place to start…
For Any and Every Mom
When in doubt, gifting jewelry is always a safe bet. Aurate is a NYC-based fine jewelry brand founded in 2015 by two longtime friends on a mission to shake up the industry. They set out to focus on ethical and sustainable practices, transparent pricing and contemporary designs, and along the way they created a brand centered around empowerment with so many of their customers buying for themselves.

For the Mom Who Does It All
This could easily apply to most moms we know, and these gifts are ideal for elevating your favorite mama’s day-to-day. Who said the water on your bedside table couldn’t (and shouldn’t) look chic?
For the New Mom
If you can, there’s nothing more meaningful to a new mom than a warm, nutritious meal and a clean house (that she didn’t have to clean herself). Those early days are a whirlwind and her village is of utmost importance. When physically showing up is not possible for whatever reason, a special delivery will undoubtedly make her day.
Nemah is the beauty brand that is hopefully already on her radar, but if it’s not already, here is your chance to be her hero. Founded by a mother, Nemah offers a range of clean beauty products to nourish mama’s skin while it’s going through its changes, and even some for baby. Use code AUDREY for 15% off.
When I think back to my postpartum days, I remember these three things very vividly: how thirsty I was, how many books I read and how many podcasts I listened to while on walks. Here is what I wish I’d had back then:
For You, Mom!
When you want something done right, sometimes it’s best to take matters into your own hands. No one knows your wishlist better than you and there is no better time to treat yourself (or give a not-so-subtle hint) than now. Here’s what I have my eye on…
