Holiday Gift Guide: For Mom
Hi ladies! No matter the season, mom always deserves to be showered with love (and gifts). Here are some of my favorites gifts for the woman who put up with us for years, and still does. See below for some of my faves for mom (or any woman you know, honestly!)
Dry Farms Wine - In each order, you receive a unique selection of 6 or 12 biodynamic Natural Wines sourced from small farms around the world every month or every other month. Each shipment includes different grape varieties, countries, and styles. You can choose white, red, mixed, sparkling, or rosé. Use this link to get a bottle of wine for a penny when you start a subscription.
Skylight Frame - Skylight is a beautiful touch-screen, Wi-Fi connected digital photo frame that lets you email photos from your phone or computer directly onto your loved one's Skylight - from anywhere in the world! Perfect for mom and grandma, especially since we can't all gather right now!
Equilibria - So they have various CBD products, but I swear by the relief cream. Great for aches, pains, and cramps, it absorbs into the skin without entering the bloodstream. Use code "courtneyschrank" for 15% off. You can also check out their softgels, bath bombs, and CBD oil. They also have a fab box of CBD goodies like bath salts, CBD oil, and mineral salts, just for Mom. For a limited time you also get a free $20 gift card with purchase of the box.
HumbleOrganics - Local to Chicago. All products are handmade with love in small batches, and will be ready to ship within one week of purchase. My favorites are the organic coffee lip balm and bath bombs. If you're looking for a good body butter this one smells like an orange dreamsicle. Free shipping in the US!
Rahua - They have lovely hair care options! I love the daily hair care kit. The set includes various shampoos and conditioners. My favorite is the Hydration Shampoo - it smells fab! Rahua created a new cosmetic category that transcends organic and fair trade, called Symbiotic, which means ingredients are grown wild (not farmed) in the virgin rainforest, are hand processed and the makers are paid an above fair-trade price.
Papinelle - They have beautiful pajamas, robes and other sleep “accessories” like masks. They try to source fabrics that are natural, recycled and/ or biodegradable whenever possible and source organic cotton and pure silk along with using recycled Polyester made from PET bottles. They have gorgeous florals and solids and they feel amazing on your skin!
Qēt Botanicals - This company has so many amazing products! From skincare and haircare to deodorant and serums they have a kit full of great products to try. They also sell the products on their own, but you can try the kits first to see what you like. My favorites include the Getting Started Facial Suite Kit and Hydra-Rose Eye Serum(it smells heavenly!) Qēt doesn't have anything synthetic or toxic!
MantraBand - We can all use some positivity right now, am I right? What better way than to see your favorite mantra all day, every day? Enter the Mantra Band. Not only can you choose your go-to mantra on a bracelet, necklace, or ring, but there are also bracelets that support various charities like the Alzheimer's Association and Autism Speaks. They also have Mantra of the Month subscription boxes.
Skylar - I am obsessed with their clean fragrances. They have a great sample palette so you an try all of the scents ahead of time before purchasing a full size. They also have a scent club so you can enjoy a limited-edition scent, delivered monthly. Their products are free of Parabens, SLS, Phthalates, Allergens, Animal-derived Ingredients, Synthetic Dyes and they smell great!!
Ibu - Working with 101 Artisans in 38 countries globally, The Ibu Movement celebrates the imagination and skill of women and puts money in their hands. Ibu artisans and allies alike belong to a world-wide web of self-authorized women on the move. They have clothing and jewelry among other things. Such a great mission and their pieces are simply gorgeous!
Vincent James - I absolutely love this company's classic pieces. Each piece is made using the highest quality natural fabrics and sourced and sewn sustainably and ethically. I am currently crushing on the merino jumpsuit and merino slip dress. Personally I feel small-batch fashion/textiles are the wave of the future aka #backtobasics.
A few other ideas are gift cards to her favorite restaurant so you can all celebrate once we can gather in public again, deliver her favorite flowers, or have her favorite food delivered.
