8 Mother’s Day Gifts Moms Can Buy For Other Moms

Here are some gifts moms can buy for their friends for Mother’s Day.

Nobody knows what to buy for Mother’s Day except a mom! Moms know that their mommy friends are probably receiving the usual already: flowers, some cake or sweets, and a bit of jewelry. Those things are nice but it’s different when moms buy gifts for other moms. Sometimes, it takes our special mom friends to know what we want for Mother’s Day. And, here are some pretty cool items from Rustan’s that we’re sure they’ll appreciate:

1. Cookware

For moms wanting to start their own baking business or just need to replace their old cookware, the 24cmBeka Papillon Dutch Oven or the 25cmTefal Delibake Savarin Springform ought to do the trick. Especially if they’re making big batches of certain food to keep for several days, the Dutch Oven’s perfect for stews, soups, and maybe a few casseroles. The Delibake Savarin Springform is perfect for making bundt cakes. Or, some even use it to roast a chicken.

2. Light and comfy travel shoes

Moms, we’re sure a lot of us want to go traveling before we’re hit with another lockdown. But it’s hard to find shoes especially if we have an imbalance, flat feet, or just wide feet in general. Easy Spirit has an array of soft travel shoes that’ll make it easier to go window shopping, sightseeing, shopping, or even chasing after the kids while they’re out. If we’re going to chase after our kids, at least let’s do it in comfort and style.

3. Travel Luggage

Some of us moms haven’t traveled in such a long time that we’re sure somewhere in our house, there’s a moldy 20++-year-old suitcase from a brand that died long ago. Or, if bitten by the wanderlust bug, our mom friends are going to need more sturdy bags. Samsonite’s worked well over the years especially since now they have their collab with BTS: The BTS Red Violett Sheer Backpack. For more vacation-focused luggage, American Tourister has the latest Velton SP55 Purist Blue which comes with a USB port and a multiple-hanging system. And if our mommy friends suffered from runaway luggage, it even has a wheel stopper. So, no need to go chasing after it.

4. Silverware

Some moms just love their shiny things. Oneida, as a flatware brand, became popular because it’s easy to take off the dirt and doesn’t tarnish as fast. Especially for platitas and moms starting out in building their silver hoard, Oneida has the Azalea 20-Piece Everyday Flatware Set which can be a nice heirloom, gift, or just pretty tableware to impress guests.

5. Watch + Bracelet Set

The best way to spruce up one’s loungewear set into OOTDs is to wear a gorgeous watch and bracelet set. Anne Klein has always produced luxury watches for women and their Anne Klein Rose Gold Watch & Bracelet Set are no different. For moms who want to just go out in their loungewear but still look fashionable, all you need is a fancy watch and bracelet.

6. Perfumes

Some moms’ businesses involve talking to people and when they’re in a rush, they need some sweet perfume to freshen up. For those more into garden events, the Viktor&Rolf Flowerbomb EDP keeps the sweet smell going. If your mompreneur friend’s about to secure a business deal, citrus-smelling perfume like the Giorgio Armani’s My Way EDP and Givenchy Irresistible EDT Fraiche ought to keep her alert, awake, and make her potential business partner know that she means business.

7. Hair Irons and Hair Dryers

Either way, this is one thing we know moms need especially if they’re not fond of going to the parlor. Irons or hair dryers are great for moms who always attend events and don’t have time to make an appointment with a salon. Besides, some moms might even appreciate it if they’re starting up their own hair salon.

8. A Personalized Spa Set

If there’s no time to go to a spa, a spa set built by you ought to do it. From Sally Hansen’s Good. Kind. Pure Nail polish to the Nuxe Creme Prodigieuse® Boost Night Recovery Oil Balm, there are a lot of spa items to add to a gift basket of spa goodies. Gift baskets don’t always need to have wine and cheese. Sometimes, they just need to have cosmetics and vanity items to help mom friends start on their journey of self-care.

The best gift for moms comes from other moms

Nobody knows what it’s like to be a mom except another mom. The exhaustion of chasing kids and dealing with their tantrums, trying to keep marriages intact, and working to achieve personal goals is a lot to handle for a single person. Although we feel the mom guilt when we splurge on ourselves, splurging on other moms helps us feel less guilty. It’s Mother’s Day after all. There’s no law that says moms can’t help other moms indulge and splurge. Especially if that means going on a shopping trip to Rustan’s and grabbing a Sangria or Mimosa after.
