Luxury Beauty Gifts for Mom

A trip to the spa is a wonderful self-care gift, but luxury clean beauty provides everyday skin care treats at a friendlier price point.

Crochet Raffia Sun Hat of Dreams

Years ago, a photographer friend owned a huge, romantic raffia hat not unlike this one. It was a traveling hat, and she snapped photos of her friends and family in that could easily fool you as editorial.

This hat looks amazing on everyone at any age, from girls to grannies, and I can’t imagine it ever going out of style!

With the #coastalgranny theme enduring, you just know this particular hat will sell out!

Look How Cheerful!

This coffee mug is just right for sipping and journaling.

And is your mama a coffee mom? If she focuses on a plant-based diet like me (an almond milk kinda iced coffee mom!), maybe she would enjoy what I recently discovered…an easy, more economical way to make your own almond milk.

BONUS: If you have ever made cauliflower pizza crust, then you know the step in the process where the liquid must be squeezed from the cauliflower. This nifty bag made from fine Italian mesh makes the job an easier squeeze!

Pretty BOOKS to Give or Keep You Company

No. 1: WONDERLAND

DO NOT MISS THE OPPORTUNITY to venture into Summer Thornton’s amazing world!!! So inspiring, and I rave about it HERE.

Summer Thornton's WONDERLAND: ADVENTURES IN DECORATING (Rizzoli, 2022). Interior decorator Summer Thornton believes in designing with the wildest abandon: her world is one of nickel tubs, marble fireplaces, whimsical textiles, surprising patterns, and secret gardens. Often described as maximalist with a modern, fresh sensibility, Thornton manages to achieve highly polished, sophisticated interiors that indulge in a lighthearted, almost irreverent sense of whimsy. In her first book, she will inspire readers to follow their creative impulses and make their own rules.
