As a Los Angeles family portrait photographer, I have been lucky to meet all kinds of moms around town. I have taken inspiration from my clients to come up with cute gift ideas for Mother’s Day. Currently, I have a penchant for yellow and grey. Yellow is a super happy, summery color and grey gives it a touch of sophistication. So, in honor of Mother’s Day here’s a selection of gifts, all from small business owners, because as as small business myself I love to support others who are providing something unique. Click on the images to take you to the straight to the items most of which are from etsy, unless otherwise stated.
Social Butterfly
All social butterflies will appreciate a set of personalized notecards, to thank a host(ess) for a wonderful soiree or just say hi by putting pen to paper the old fashioned way.
Foodie
We all love our foodie moms, always making sure we have something yummy to put in our tummies. The macarons from Paulette in Beverly Hills are truly little works of art. They are delicious and melt in your mouth. Pictured here are the Lemon macarons, but they have them in every flavor and color of the rainbow.
Techie
I love the new iPad and plan to get one of the new 3G models soon. In the meanwhile, for those lucky moms who already have one, here’s a super cute protective case to keep it looking as good as the day they bought it. Who says that a techie can’t be stylin’?
Fashionista
Sure it’s great to have an “it” bag. It certainly has status value. But if your fashionista mom is more about style than brand, get her a super stylish and super practical Mini Truffle Bag. It’s made of top quality Italian Leather and has room to fit all those mom necessities.
Decorator
I believe you can never have enough pillows. (Perhaps it’s a trait I inherited from my mother, she sleeps with 8 pillows, no joke!) The pillows I’m talking about are more of the toss pillow variety that will liven up any decor. Here are some of my favorites.
Super Mom
Super moms are the ones who just keep going and going, always juggling a million things and never getting fazed by anything. I am not one of them and I admire them deeply. So to cheer them on with all that they do and show that you actually notice all that they do this cute poster in a peppy yellow is sure to get their days off to a good start.
All Moms
And if none of the gifts above tickle your fancy, a gift certificate for a family portrait session with THOMPSON and SPRING is sure to hit the spot. There isn’t a mother in the world who wouldn’t want to capture beautiful images of her adoring and adorable family.
