2020 COVID Mothers Day Guide
This Mother’s Day isn’t going to be like others in the past which means what you do and how you prepare for it is going to be different too! During these unprecedented times I think three things are very important. The first thing would be the sentimental factor, this year is definitely the time to really let mom know how much you love her and how much she means to you. The second would be affordability, with many laid off or working on fixed incomes this Mother’s Day is all about affordable gifts that stand out. The third would probably be availability, considering most stores have longer ship times and we can’t go to the stores to pick up a last minute gift… and well maybe there is a fourth too lol NOT WAITING UNTIL MOTHERS DAY TO PREPARE this year.
Since I truly believe Mother’s Day is more important this year that any other year I wanted to take the time to outline some special, affordable gifts you could order for mom that will get here in time or that you can ship directly to her. Let’s not forget… all the moms with little ones right now that are home FULL time/not in school?! Let’s pray for them lol They deserve everything and more this year and I intend to help you exceed every expectation your special lady has. Get ready to get shopping below!
This made me laugh out loud today. My friend Jen has such a great sense of humor lol Maybe your significant other needs the hint. Hope this helps you drop one!

Impress Nails
If you follow me already than you have absolutely already heard me talk about these nails. They are my FAVORITE… even before COVID hit. Now they are even more amazing because they require no salon, they are DIY, they are cheap, they are stick on and they are what every women wants right now to pamper a little. They are running on a short 5 day shipping delay but you should be good.
Rooted By Roo
As many of you probably already know my amazing sister, Larisa opened up a new floral business. She is delivering locally on Long Island! This Mother’s Day she is doing plants, and orchids! Her attention to detail and ability to write a beautiful note will for sure make mom feel special! All of her stuff is available for order on Instagram here!
TOUCHSTONE
Another favorite of mine is touchstone jewelry. They are great quality so they won’t tarnish or turn anyone green and I have so many of their things that I LOVE. They’re shipping well right now and mom definitely won’t mind a little bling.
Some of my favorites are the birthstone rings (great for mothers day! they are stackable), the ICE bracelets, and their earnings! I own a lot of their pieces and they truly are beautiful.
If you have any questions or just want to make sure you’re making the right decisions for mom give Gina a call, she’s wonderful and would be so happy to help you!

TARGET
Typically I like to shop local and support local businesses but when I find something that is affordable and has a nice message/ is VERY reliable for national shipping I feel like it’s important to share. Here are some of the items I saw at target online that I thought were really special. You can click on each of the graphics below to see or head over to www.target.com and you can take a look at their gift guide.

Sneakers
A lot of people have taken to the fitness kick while home. I’ve seen so many moms walking and working out daily with their little ones. If that sounds like the mom in your life a new pair of sneakers could be a great gift! i personally love a good trendy sneaker. ADIDAS came out with these awesome leopard ones I have and they’re on sale! But more recently a friend showed me this dupe pair from Walmart for just $18.98 and I got those too and honestly for the price difference, Walmart wins!

These bracelets and this company are one that I truly have grown to love! There mission is all about self love, empowering women and inclusivity and I am here for that!

IT Cosmetics
Now THIS you definitely can’t go wrong with! IT cosmetics is one of my favorite beauty brands. Some of my favorites are the CC+ Cream (I am shade Medium in Winter and Medium Tan in Summer), their Miracle Water Micellar Cleanser is AMAZING, and their Vitality Lip Flush Stain™ 4-in-1 Hydrating Lipstick is great too! For Mother’s Day they are offering a special where if you spend $65 you get a free beauty book! The beauty book would make the perfect gift for mom for sure! Just use the code GIFTMOM at checkout!
It’s not just about the gift.
Let’s not all forget… for those of us who live with our “mom” cooking a nice brunch, having the kids make homemade cards, finishing that pile of laundry and putting it away, vacuuming and cleaning the house, hack maybe even going to buy a few new bushes and weeding/mulching the beds…. that stuff is LIFE for a mom. Most of us our moms have had to give up their cleaning lady, have become the teacher and the cook and are still working! Picking up around the house and make it beautiful and clean and pampering mom won’t cost anything but will mean EVERYTHING!
