Unique Gifts for Mom
Wanderfull Water Bottle Bag
We recently discovered the Wanderfull Hydrobag, and it’s a complete game changer for hiking, sporting events, walking your dog and traveling! Plus, in addition to the large water bottle holder, the hydrobags have two zippered pockets that can fit your phone, Airpods, sunglasses, credit cards, keys and more.
Our Family Recipes Cookbook
This gorgeous hardcover personalized cookbook is the perfect gift for mom! On the outside, the book resembles an aesthetic coffee table book, BUT inside, you’ll find 200 blank recipe templates for her to write in all her favorite dishes!
With thick, smudge-proof cardstock pages and beautiful stock photos throughout the book, it’s both functional and stylish. She’ll be proud to display it in her kitchen!
Leatherology XL Train Case
Upgrade her makeup bag to this beautiful chocolate brown XL Leather Train case from Leatherology. It’s made of high-quality full-grain leather and allows her to store full-size makeup and skincare products! Inside the case, there are two zippered pockets, four open pockets, and a removable divider system that’s water-resistant!
Flameless Candle Warmer Lamp
Elevate her home, with this luxurious flameless candle warmer. The lamp has a gorgeous marble base and four different brightness settings, which also allows her to choose the fragrance strength. With this candle warmer, she’ll be able to enjoy her candles longer, without even lighting them!
Brook and York Birthstone Initial Necklace
Personalized jewelry is always a thoughtful gift idea. We love this Brook and York Birthstone Initial necklace. It’s the perfect everyday necklace that’s dainty and lightweight.
Eberjey Christmas Pajama Sets
These pajama sets are so luxurious and soft! Mom will absolutely LOVE these. They’re temperature-regulating, lightweight, and breathable. We love these holiday-printed pjs, but they come in so many beautiful color options and prints!
New Balance 574 Sneakers
These New Balance fashion sneakers are super trendy and selling out FAST. I’d recommend grabbing her size while they’re still in stock. There are so many colors to choose from!
Brumate 40 oz Leakproof Tumbler
In our opinion, the Brumate 40 oz tumbler is one of the best on the market! It’s completely spill-proof AND fits in the cup holder of your car. These tumblers are so convenient and allow her to toss the tumbler in a tote bag without worrying about any leaks or spills!
SPANX AirEssentials Half Zip
Clearly chocolate brown is a popular color this year! This SPANX half zip sweatshirt is ultra soft, lightweight, and cozy. She can throw it on to run errands, lounge around the house or walk the dog – it’s so versatile!
Merit Beauty The Cheek Set
We LOVE Merit Beauty. They’re our favorite clean makeup brand and they use non-pore clogging ingredients! This cheek set is the perfect way to introduce your mom to the brand. The set includes two of their bestsellers – Flush balm and Day Glow.
Ninja Pod and Grounds Coffee Maker
The Ninja Pods and Grounds coffee maker is an awesome gift for any mom who enjoys a good cup of coffee. The machine is sleek and compact, so it doesn’t take up a ton of counter space and can brew 4 different styles of coffee (both hot and iced)! It’s under $100 too.
Towel Warmer
She’ll become obsessed with this bathroom towel warmer! It’s large and can fit two 40”x70” towels. It can also be used to warm robes and pajamas. There’s nothing like wrapping yourself in a warm towel or robe after a relaxing shower!
Hatch Restore Alarm Clock
Improve her sleep with the Hatch Restore Sunrise Alarm. This gentle alarm clock has so many cool features that mom will appreciate! She’ll be able to create a custom morning and night routine, wake up with peaceful sounds and a sunrise alarm, control the duration and light intensity, and more.
Sporty Stripe Pickleball Bag
Does your mom love to play pickleball!? Upgrade her pickleball bag to a personalized sporty tote designed to hold all her courtside essentials. Choose from a few different colors!
Galison Spring Street 1000 Piece Puzzle

Courant Linen Wireless Charging Station
This beautiful Belgian Linen wireless charging station with accessories tray will instantly elevate her bedside table. She can charge her phone and AirPods, while using the valet tray for her jewelry, glasses, watch and accessories. Looks so modern and expensive!
NORI Press Handheld Steam Iron
Replace her heavy iron/ironing board with this lightweight (it’s only 1.4 pounds), double-sided steam iron that will cut her ironing time in half. NORI is actually iron spelled backwards and was inspired by a hair straightener!
It has 6 different fabric settings, can remove wrinkles from both sides of your clothing simultaneously, has elongated arms to reach across the entire garment and can easily be used at home or while traveling. Every person needs a NORI!
UGG Cozy Knit Shearling Slippers
She won’t want to take off these cozy shearling slippers – they’re so comfy and warm. She can wear these around the home, drop offs or getting the mail! They only come in whole sizes, so if she’s in between sizes, order the size down.
Luxe Faux Fur Throw Blanket
You can never have enough throw blankets in your home, right!? These large 70×50″ faux fur blankets are SO soft and luxurious. Perfect for curling up with a book or watching family movies!
Pura Smart Fragrance Diffuser
Elevate her home with a Pura smart diffuser. We got ours a few months ago and we use it every day! Using your phone, you can control the level of scent intensity, easily switch between two different fragrances, and even set a scent schedule.. say every Monday-Friday from 5pm-7:30pm. It even has a night light!
For an extra 15% off your purchase, you can use code CASSIE15.
Tarte Shadow Stick Trio
Tarte is one of my favorite makeup brands! You really can’t go wrong with gifting any of their products – I’m a huge fan of their juicy lips and their best selling neutral eyeshadow palette. But, your Mom is sure to love this Tartelette Shadow Stick Trio!
The shades are easy to apply, creamy and buildable and will last all day long.
Stain-Resistant + Washable Area Rug
Highly, highly recommend these stain-resistant, washable rugs from My Magic Carpet. We have one in our kitchen, our entryway and on our patio and I can’t tell you how convenient they are!
We’ve spilled red wine, spaghetti, hot chocolate, tracked in mud and dirt.. and every single stain comes out in the wash. Almost like magic! All rugs also have a non-slip backing and waterproof lining, to ensure any spills or pet accidents don’t seep into your floors.
Mixbook Year In Review Book
If you’re looking for something special to gift your Mom, Mixbook has beautiful, fully customizable photo books and year in review books that will melt her heart. We designed our engagement photo book through Mixbook and it turned out better than we could’ve imagined. The photos are so clear and vibrant!
Mixbook also has a really cool AutoMagic creation feature that will save you so much time and energy when making your photo book. You can now start and finish your book in less than 10 minutes! All you have to do is select your theme, upload your photos and select the AutoMagic feature. The feature will build your personalized book in an instant, finding the best layouts and designs for your photos!
Kendra Scott Heart Necklace
You can’t go wrong with Kendra Scott jewelry! My mom, sister and I all have the multi-strand Ari Heart necklace and it’s our favorite. I wear mine almost every single day!
BedVoyage 100% Bamboo Sheets
This is my top recommended gift for mom this year! If she hasn’t slept on 100% bamboo sheets before, her life is about to be changed! Bamboo sheets are known for being luxuriously soft, gentle on your skin and hair, hypoallergenic and temperature-regulating/cooling. If you sleep hot – these sheets are incredible!
We upgraded our bedding last spring, and I can honestly say I have not slept on better sheets than these. Every night it feels like we’re staying at a 5-star hotel!
Eye Massage Mask
If your mom is prone to headaches, migraines, or eye strain from being on the computer or her phone, then this eye massager might be the perfect present!
It has built in heating pads, adjustable intensity settings, bluetooth compatibility, and is extremely lightweight and portable, so she can take it with her when traveling!
Weekender Makeup Bag
One of the best makeup bags for traveling! Under $20 and has so much storage space. My sister and I both own one and we use ours ALL the time.
Capri Blue Candles
The best smelling candles and they last SO long. I’m obsessed with the Volcano scent – it’s fresh and fruity and makes the entire house smell good!
