Shopping for my Mom was a source of recurring anxiety for me growing up…I always struggled with what to get her because she made me feel like she had everything she could ever need. Including her lovely angel child, me. Heh. Just kidding. But according to my observations, moms DO usually have everything they need. The trick to shopping for them is to cover their wants – things they ogle but won’t buy themselves (because they have the exact opposite mentality of us millennials – a.k.a me me me *treat yoself* hehe). You can’t go wrong with fancy versions of things she uses regularly – tea, bath + body stuff…even desktop essentials are made desirable when they’re Kate Spade. Indigo is personally my one-stop shop when I need to get something cute for my mum – from luxe candles, to adorable stationary, to of course, awesome books. Here are my picks for what to get mama for Mother’s day – mix and match for a personalized gift that best suits the wonderful lady that made ya!
