Mom gets a lot of love on her day. Behind greeting cards, flowers and a memory-making experience top the list of what most of us want for mom.
Over half of us are on the hunt for a unique gift for mom, that’s why you see the “experience” gift climbing the popularity ladder. And no surprise, either, as it’s the greatest challenge to surprise the woman who has everything, and always seems to have what we need, too.
Consider an elegant and personal handmade gift this year. All you need is a Leatherpress leather journal or notebook, and a pen—maybe some photos or recipes, depending on your project choice. And a heart full of love.
Here are four unique paired gifts for Mom. Elegant, personal and chosen to delight.
Who became a mom this past year? It’s her first Mother’s Day – get her started on a Milestone Journal for her new baby. Get a Leatherpress journal or notebook, use page 1 to write a dedication to her and then list some questions for her to write about and some milestones to record. She’ll be so glad you started her out. Shop Leatherpress journals.
Pair with a Fujifilm Instax camera. That same mom might love this camera for instant gratification. Available in multiple blues and pinks, even purple, it’s a fun tool to have at the ready when recording first smiles, first teeth, 3 month, 6 month candids. Link to Amazon.
Get a Butter Yellow Leatherpress notebook and write in a few of the recipes you’ve loved from Mom’s collection. Add a few lines of memory around the recipes, i.e. “You made these cookies when I got into Duke!” Encourage her to fill in the rest of the pages with her Sunday cinnamon rolls or favorite Super Bowl loaded nachos, for example. A Leatherpress notebook makes sure all that deliciousness lasts a lifetime and more. Shop Butter Yellow notebook.
Pair with dessert, delivered. If your mom’s a baker, she might like having someone else make dessert. If you can’t make it, send her a 3-layer Confetti Cake from the world famous Magnolia Bakery in NYC. If you can’t decide, they have sampler packs, too! https://www.magnoliabakery.com/
Maybe your mom already keeps a journal, or takes time to write out prayers and blessings. You can start this journal for her with a list of gratitude for your mom. Download a copy of our gratitude journal template for inspiration.
Pair with a year of soap. Nothing beats a fragrance remedy and downtime for mom! She’ll luxuriate for an entire year with a Caswell-Massey Year of Soap collection. A year of lavender, or mix it up with rose, gardenia and honeysuckle, all made right here in the USA. Guaranteed to inspire gratitude.
Where is Mom off to this summer? Any of our Leatherpress Inspire notebooks make a great travel companion, whether for a weekend on Lake Michigan, or golf in Ireland. She can keep track of the best pubs for music or describe the sunrise over the dunes.
Pair with a leather crossbody bag from Portland Leather. Perfect for travel, in round, rectangular, envelope and bucket shapes – something for every mom’s style. Shop here.
