Mother’s Day is almost here, so here are my 2019 gift picks for that mom in your life. These will not disappoint:
__________

Probably the best gift you can give to Mom, with summer right around the corner. Not only will she thank you, but all of her friends will too…
__________

And for nights when she prefers her wine at home, this is the gift that keeps on giving.
__________
These books have helped me fool my family and enough other people into thinking that I am a good cook. Your mom is in for a treat if she does not own either of these.


__________

Great for aspiring chefs and master chefs alike: I love an immersion blender for making soups, smoothies, and sauces. Period. It makes my life so much easier and it’s guaranteed to make your mom’s life easier too.
__________

I am a big fan of La Mer. Huge. If I were to get one of these sets for Mother’s Day, I would be over the moon (hint hint cough cough, Joe).
__________

I love a good candle. If you have been to our studio, we have them burning all day, every day. If your mom likes candles, this Mother’s Day set, by one of the best candle makers in the industry, Diptyque, is ingenious.
__________

Essential oil diffusers are known to improve your health, increase your energy, lower your stress, and help you sleep better – everything moms need. So do your mom a favor and give her one of these.
__________
Slippers: Absolutely cannot live without them.



If you have a mom who constantly says you don’t give her enough photos of the grand kids, this gift is for her. Plus it is easy enough for anyone to use, even mom. Love kickin’ it old skool.
__________

You’re mom probably won’t invest in a good pair of headphones for herself, which is exactly why you should.
__________

This could easily be my favorite Amazon product. It is like Alexa on steriods and the best companion for mom in the kitchen.
__________

She will thank you over and over and over and over…

If you are not already on the readers train, chances are your mom or someone you know is. This company has some of the cutest styles out there.
__________

If you want to win “best kid of the year” among your siblings and even want to see a tear or two come out of your mom’s eyes, then this is hands down the winner.
