Last Minute Mother's Day Gift Guide
David Ruff
Giving always feels great, but amidst our new normal, giving someone a present, large or small, feels particularly so. I’ve thought a lot about what might make our moms (and grandmothers, great-grandmothers, aunts, wives, sisters, friends, and cousins) joyful right now. Whether you’re with the mom in question 24/7 or you’re miles apart, these are the presents that are going to delight, distract, and indulge her.
While it is difficult to put any mom into a box, there is one significant attribute most mothers share: they’re givers. Moms devote all their time and energy into making sure their kids are happy and healthy and it is pretty awesome to be on the receiving end of that. Given how invested your mom is in giving back, it only makes sense to incorporate the practice into your Mother’s Day gift this year. Keep on reading to shop the perfect present for the perfect mom.

Small Slipsilk Scrunchies - Mother’s day is all about making sure mom lets her hair down. However, a cute scrunchie comes in handy especially for the mom whipping up a storm in the kitchen. Not only are these scrunchies stylish but they also gentle on delicate hair and prevent creases.
