A Mother’s Day Gift Guide

A Mother’s Day edit for the mom or mother figure in your life that you want to spoil. I pulled together a thoughtful mix of pieces designed to last, to be used often, and to feel just a bit indulgent. These are the kinds of gifts she may not think to buy for herself, yet seamlessly fit into her everyday, whether it’s something that elevates her routine, supports a hobby she loves, or simply brings beauty to her day. I love to choose and buy with intention, they’re meant to be kept, enjoyed, and reached for again and again.

Just beautiful, well-chosen pieces that feel special now and treasured later. And, why not show a little love with a Valentines’s inspired gift.

Holiday Shopping Sales I Love

Happy Holiday Shopping! So many great sales happening right now that I just love. So rounding up some faves! I’ve enjoyed perusing the early promotions from some of my go-to brands. For me, shopping intentionally is the goal, and when brands and stores I love are having a sale, specifically those who rarely give discounts, I jump at the chance to buy items that have been on my own wish list or gifts for all the special ones in my life …. Christmas is just 30 days away!
