Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

Mother's Day Gift IdeasThis Mother’s Day gift guide is extremely detailed and includes all items I currently own and love. These are pieces I can speak to and would LOVE to receive (again LOL) as a Mother’s Day gift. A mix of different things at all price points so there is something for everyone!

Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

1. OneSkin OS-01 Body Topical Supplement (discount code: MAREE15)

I’ve begun to take the same approach to the skin on my body as I do the skin on my face. I need to treat it with the same powerful ingredients rather than just simply moisturizing and exfoliating. The Body Topical Supplement is one of the best treatments I’ve used that really targets anti-aging concerns for the body. Things like crepiness, dullness, loss of firmness, dehydration and protecting the skin barrier. This is a lightweight gel moisturizer that absorbs almost instantly and leaves no film or residue on the skin. I use it every day either alone or layered underneath one of my other scented body lotions or oils. If you are hesitant to splurge on a body care product, I would recommend using it mainly on the areas that are most visible if you want to make the product last as long as possible. Focus on the chest, neck, arms and hands because often that is the part of the body that receives sun exposure and can show a distinct contrast to the skin on your face.

2. Heaven Mayhem Mini Knot Mixed Metal Earrings (discount code: MAREE15)

These are my most worn earrings and I recommend them to everyone. The mixed metal is my favorite but they also have all good or all silver if that is more your preference. They are perfect for everyday but also look great as a statement earring.

3. Aurate Eternity Band (discount code: MAREE20)

Another jewelry piece that I wear every single day! It’s a gorgeous eternity band that looks so much more expensive than it is. A classic piece of jewelry that goes with almost any style or outfit.

4. Ziip Halo Device (discount code: MAREE)

The Ziip Halo is a microcurrent toning device designed to sculpt, lift and tone the face, smooth out fine lines and give you smoother glowing skin that lasts. The device uses both microcurrent waveforms and nanocurrent waveforms to boost skin health leading to long lasting results as well as immediate lifting after only one use. It’s quite small which I actually love and easily contours to the face. Most skincare tools however are a commitment and this one is no exception. You need to commit to using it regularly to see results and then maintain that consistency over time.

5. Ring Concierge Diamond Wrap Ring

In addition to my eternity band, I wear this ring every single day too. It has such a chic look to it and adds a bit of edge to my daily jewelry. It’s a top seller for the brand and I can definitely understand why.

6. Aurate Tennis Bracelet (discount code: MAREE20)

The quality of this tennis bracelet is amazing and it looks so much more expensive than it is! It’s a timeless piece that will look modern and stylish for years to come. I love wearing it alone or layering it with other bracelets.

7. Naghedi NYC St. Barth’s Tote Bag

I have a ton of handbags and especially tote bags but this is the one that I recommend to all my friends. It’s SUPER durable and sturdy but yet still incredibly chic looking. It comes in a few different sizes and tons of colors but I wanted a basic black tote that I can wear all the time.

8. YSE Beauty Overachiever Brightening Eye Patches (discount code: MAREE20)

I love wearing eye patches in the morning to help soothe my undereye area, reduce swelling and help to hydrate but so many slide down my face while I am wearing them! These DO NOT MOVE and will stay put until you take them off.

9. Jolie Filtered Showerhead

I’ve been on a hair journey this past year to help stimulate hair growth and make my scalp as healthy as it can be. One of the first things I did was get a filtered showerhead to help with any hard water and it has made such a difference!

10. Massaging Eye Mask

This massaging eye mask is fantastic at helping with sinus pressure and headaches. It is heated and massages the eye area and temples. It’s absolutely a game changer for headaches and sinus pain!

11. Thatch Jewelry Puffy Heart Necklace

I have a few statement necklaces that I wear regularly but this one is my favorite. It goes with so many outfits, looks great alone or layered with other necklaces.

12. Alexa Leigh Tennis Necklace

Finally a tennis necklace that DOES NOT FLIP!! I have had this for more than a year and never had a single issue with it flipping. It is the one that I recommend to everyone and for just under $200, it looks so luxe and stunning.

13. Foot Massager

A must have for sore feet!

14. CurrentBody LED Mask (discount code: ALITTLEBITCB)

This is a splurge but it’s the one skincare device that I use religiously and have had great results with. It has a timer for 10 minutes so you can turn it on, do what you need to do for 10 minutes and then it will automatically shut off when complete. It helps to improve fine lines and wrinkles, even out skin tone, smooth texture and brightens the skin. I have an in depth review on my blog if you want more information.

15. Lunya Washable Silk Pajamas (discount code: alittlebitetc)

The ultimate decadence – silk pajamas. And not just any silk pajamas, these are washable! They feel like heaven on the skin and are a true treat to put on before bed. There are tons of other styles however that can be worn as lounge sets so you can really drive down that cost per wear!

16. Cozyland Pajamas (discount code: MAREE-15)

For fun colors and cute prints, I LOVE Cozyland pajamas. They also have kids pajamas so you can have a matching moment with the littles!

17. Heaven Mayhem Jewelry Book Box (discount code: MAREE15)

As soon as these came out, I ordered one right away. It’s a jewelry case that looks like a coffee table book!

18. Higher Dose Infrared Sauna Blanket

This is like having your own personal sauna at your home. A sauna blanket is a sleeping bag style blanket that uses infrared technology and infrared heat to mimic the effects you get when sitting in a sauna. They can be used at home to help boost circulation, provide deep relaxation, help muscle recovery, burn calories and detoxify. The HigherDose Infrared Sauna blanket offers far infrared heat which increases your heart rate and provides a deep detoxifying sweat. In addition it can help reduce inflammation and provide inside-out healing for the body. This is a splurge but I use it multiple times a week regardless of the season.

Halloween PJs for Kids

Halloween Pajamas for KidsThis photo of Miles is a few years old now but I just love looking at it and want to squeeze those chubby cheeks! LOL Since Miles was an infant, I have been buying him themed pajamas for every single holiday that exists. It’s a cute way to create lasting memories and honestly, there are so many adorable options now that make it so fun. Halloween is probably one of our favorite holidays to engage with because my birthday is three days before Halloween and Miles’ birthday is 4 days after Halloween. So it’s a full week of celebrations and themed fun! However Miles still wears his themed pajamas all year round because I want to get my money’s worth. Ha!!

I usually buy all of his pajamas from Hanna Andersson because they last FOREVER and the prints are some of my favorites but I wanted to do a roundup of every pair of cute Halloween pajamas I could find out there. There are a ton available now and at a wide range of price points too. This will totally get your little ones in the Halloween spirit for sure!

Halloween PJs for Kids

Halloween PJs for Kids

Hanna Andersson Kids Halloween Long John Pajama Set in Halloween Kitties on Primrose

Everything about Hanna Andersson pajama prints are the best. And they last forever which I love. The purple cats with the witch hats? Adorbable. It’s also good to note that the Hanna Andersson site has a Pre-Loved section too where you can sell and buy gently used pajamas. Honestly I wish this was around when Miles was an infant because some of the pajamas I bought him were too tight in just a few months so he didn’t get to wear them for that long. I gave most of mine to friends and I love the idea of handing down pajamas to family and friends. But if you don’t have that option, definitely try the Pre-Loved tab on the Hanna Andersson site.

Hanna Andersson Kids Halloween Long John Pajama Set in Batty on Martian Green

This print comes back in some form year after year and I always love it so much! It almost looks identical to the print Miles is wearing in the picture above. That style was a onesie and most of the prints they have on the site come in a long john option or a onesie option depending on the age of the child.

Hanna Andersson Kids Halloween Long John Pajama Set in Tossed Tricks and Treats

If your kiddo isn’t into anything too spooky, this pajama set is a great option. These would also be a great gift to give too.

Hanna Andersson Kids Halloween Long John Pajama Set in Friendly Ghosties

I think what I love so much about Hanna Andersson prints is that manage to embrace the spooky season without being too spooky. I love these colorful friendly ghosts. Miles was trying to decide between these and another pair (which he ultimately decided he wanted) but he loved how cute these ghosts looked. LOL

Old Navy Snug-Fit Pajama Set for Kids in Skeleton White

Old Navy is the one retailer that rivals Hanna Andersson in terms of the kind of prints they put out for each holiday. And the price point is so good! If you want a matching family pair of pajamas for Halloween, this print is a great option.

Walmart Modern Moments Neutral Halloween Pajama Set in Orange

Another great affordable option for Halloween pajamas. There are a ton of great ones on Walmart’s site but it does take a bit of searching to find.

Target Cat & Jack Halloween Soft Brushed Pajama Set in Pink

Ugh, I just love all the holiday pajamas from Target. Halloween, Christmas, Easter – they are all so cute! I love all the colorful donuts on this one and the Halloween theme is very subtle.

Hanna Andersson Kids Sesame Street Halloween Long John Pajama Set in Sesame Street Pumpkins

Hanna Andersson does collaborations with so many different characters, TV shows and movies so there is always a good chance you can find one of your kiddo’s favorite characters at some point during the year. These Sesame Street print pajamas are such a classic!

Old Navy Printed Pajama Set in Purple Dogs

Honestly these look nearly identical to the purple pajamas from Hanna Andersson and at a much better price point. I love the ghost sheets on all the dogs. I will have to show this one to Miles because he loves any and all thing dog print.

Target Printed Glow-in-the-Dark Halloween Matching Family Pajama Set

Another great matching family pajama set option for Halloween. And these glow-in-the-dark which makes them even more fun. I bought Miles these glow-in-the-dark Halloween pajamas this year and he wants to wear them nearly every night. LOL I am washing them non-stop so he can keep wearing them. Also, if your child doesn’t necessarily want to wear a costume for Halloween, choosing a fun pair of pajamas like this could be a great alternative. The glow in the dark detail will make it easier to see them in the dark too! Ha!

Little Sleepies Cool Ghouls Two-Piece Pajama Set in Cool Ghouls

I’ve actually never tried any pajamas from Little Sleepies but I hear nothing but amazing things about the quality! And their sizing goes from 12 months to 16 years. So there is definitely a size for almost any age and then they also have matching family pajama options as well.

Old Navy Printed Pajama Set for Kids in Trick or Treat

For a completely non spooky option that still embraces the Halloween spirit, these candy corn pajamas are perfect! These also work well for Thanksgiving too.
