GreenPan reserve collection, cookware set $319.95
Lipstick for Mom - how cute is that? My mom loves this! EasyPlants come with a little well you fill with water once a month. They really do make it easy to have healthy plants and this one grows fast & blooms once a year with little tubes that look like red lipstick. You can choose the color of the pot you like too.

I have these and love them! You've seen these pans in all my cooking videos - (different color, I want these white ones now) green pans are my favorite. For the mom who loves to cook, but still has an old non-stick set of pots & pans, IT'S TIME for a toxin free - free of PFAS, PFOA, lead, and cadmium upgrade. Did you see the documentary Dark Waters about the "teflon flu" the poisonous non-stick industry & how hazardous those toxins are for our health? It's scary. I got these as a gift and absolutely love them!
A Duffy boat ride in Newport Harbor $300 for two hours
Also for my CA friends, a Spa + pool day at the Montage, Laguna Beach starting at $365-$425
Ancient Agrigento Olive tree candle by Flamingo Estates $64
For my CA friends - This is what I love to do with my kids! My daughter and her husband are in this picture from last years Mother's Day. We cruised around the harbor with music, a good charcuterie board & drinks for a couple hours while we enjoyed the view, the salty air and the funny boat names.

Ancient Agrigento Olive tree candle by Flamingo Estates $64
This is one of many favorite candles & products from Flamingo. For the candle snob in your life, this is the place. I tend to like scents that are more woodsy, clean and "handsome" smelling - not too sweet. This makes your whole house smell incredible! It's not cheap for a candle, but it's worth it. Guests love it and the packaging is pretty, plus subscriptions are available

At The Montage in Laguna Beach, a facial starts at $275 and a 1 hour massage starts at $425 which is pricey - BUT, when you book any spa service, you can lounge at the pool all day, order lunch + drinks and linger poolside alone or with your bestie.

NodPod Gentle pressure, weighted sleep mask $38
My favorite Julie Voss Cannes statement ring $185
NodPod Gentle pressure, weighted sleep mask $38
Soft, weighted and washable, all you have to do is look at the 5,000+ five star reviews to see how loved this small but mighty eye blanky is :) I love mine - it shuts out the light from a TV & devices at home or when you're traveling and it quiets the mind somehow with the gentle pressure. There's no straps, but the ends can be slid together to secure if your seated and not laying down.
Birdfy AI Smart bird feeder $135
My favorite Julie Voss Cannes statement ring $185
NodPod Gentle pressure, weighted sleep mask $38
Don't laugh! My sister and my mom both want this so bad! It's a bird feeder with a camera so you can watch the birds that visit and it has AI technology to identify over 6,000 species of birds. It has a motion detector to alert you like a ring doorbell does - AND you can save and share videos with your other bird nerds.

Hands down, (so you can see it) this is my favorite cocktail ring. It comes in a dozen different colors. The color of the one I have is called iridescent Montana Blue. It's a great neutral that goes with everything.
I love gifting anything from Julie Voss because the packaging is so luxe it feels like an investment piece. My gold bracelet

OLFACTORY has multiple locations in NY and one in Georgetown DC + one in Boston, but they have a cusomizable option from home so anyone can do this!

Create your very own signature scent at OLFACTORY $85
Fun fact - I always pack adult sized floats when we travel on vacation & we get asked all the time where we bought them by the other guests. Most resorts that have pool/towel attendants also have air compressors right at the towel station and they're happy to inflate them for you! This picture is of Frank & I in the Cayman Islands with my trusty FunBoy float.
If you don't do anything else - call your mother
SKIMS pajama set $128
You can never go wrong with these SKIMS champs. They're a best seller for a reason. So lounge worthy, so comfortable, they look chic, they come in a variety of colors, and they wash up great and hold their shape well. If you live in a city and have to take the dog out - these pass as clothes more than any other pajama set.
Mahjong tiles $78.99
American Mahjong tiles that are a chic, grass green - I color I love. I think these are cute enough to get me to start. As a ADD girlie who hates listening to instructions. I'm going to need a patient teacher and a fair amount of wine to stay focused.
All jokes aside - everyone who I know that plays loved the game. the social aspect is a huge bonus - especially if your mom is a retiree

LipLab - create your own perfect shade of lipgloss or lipstick $65
This looks so fun and they have locations in both OC and a new store in DC at the Warf! (along with locations in multiple other states so there's lots of shops to choose from). You can name your lipstick creation, choose the flavor and type of sheen or matte finish you want. They will save your formulation so you can easily reorder as needed! I'm planning to do this for sure.
