Gift Guide For What To Get Your Overly Critical Mother
Some mothers are just too difficult to shop for and what could have been an hour of your time perusing through gift guides turned out to be a four hour project. And you still haven’t a clue what to get her for the holidays. We are with you on this gift buying journey, because we know very well the person you are shopping for. From time to time she likes to casually ask “why did you do that to your hair?” and not wait for an answer. And the second you complain about how tired you are, she goes in on the career front, “well I don’t know why you’re even working a job like that”. It would take too much energy to explain that as tiring as it is, it’s something you love.
Let’s not even go into your dating life.
Hopefully, there is something perfect if not close to it for that sweet, over-indulging, overly critical, because she loves you, mother (or mother figure).
JO MALONE LONDON * WOOD SAGE & SEA SALT COLOGNE * $165 (3.4 oz)
We live in a time where all mothers appreciate and covet some Jo Malone in their life.
CUYANA * RECYCLED CASHMERE SOFT WRAP SWEATER IN GINGER * $298
A lot of our parents generation can’t wrap their heads around sustainability, but maybe she will the second she touches the softness of this sweater.
SAKS FIFTH AVENUE COLLECTION * CASHMERE LINED LEATHER GLOVES * $135
Winter is coming. Nothing says “I gave you something really nice to keep you warm” than a gift that is handcrafted in Italy, which she’ll 100% appreciate.
LEXON DESIGN * OBLIO WIRELESS CHARGING STATION WITH BUILT-IN UV SANITIZER * $54.90
Although it’s tricky to gift a parent anything tech related, but a charging station that automatically sanitizes feels like something she could really understand and appreciate.
SUSANNE KAUFFMAN * ALPINE BATH & BODY COLLECTION * $7o
Without a doubt every mom needs to put herself first and so hopefully this little box of self care goodies will give her more “me” time.
BROOKLINEN * SUPER-PLUSH ROBE * $99
Well she can’t have a proper home spa day without a luxurious super soft robe to lounge in. Wearing this will make her feel extra pampered.
SOMA * 25oz GLASS WATER BOTTLE * $35
Of course you want to make sure that mom stays in tip top shape and keeps herself hydrated throughout the day. So well designed and is BPA-free, borosilicate glass with natural Bamboo.
BYREDO * CARROUSEL SCENTED CANDLE * $94
If you’re truly her child, will understand the necessity of a really good candle. Great burn time and this one has amazing scents of orange zest, sweet rhubarb, guava and fig.
OHOM * UI MUG AND WARMER SET * $88
She’ll wonder why no one in her generation ever thought of inventing this and then be super thankful for modern technology. A two in one functionalities of warming a morning cup of coffee followed by recharging her phone.
TOM DIXON * ECLECTIC UNDERGROUND DIFFUSER * £130
This uniquely designed diffuser comes with spicy fragrances with notes of ginger and cardamom. Calming, soothing scents to fill the room for when you come over to hopefully encourage more peaceful debates on marriage and kids.
