Pottery Barn Leather iPad Cover
What mom wouldn’t want this gorgeous leather iPad cover from Pottery Barn? Available for $59 at www.potterybarn.com.
D&G Fragrance Sampler
For a limited time and exclusively at Sephora, you can buy this sample pack of Dolce & Gabana fragrances, a $130 value, for only $65. The really cool part is it includes a certificate for a full-sized version valued at $69. So, give one to your mom for Mother’s Day and keep one for yourself! Available at any Sephora location or sephora.com.
Nest Candles
I love these candles. The fragrance Bamboo smells fantastic and it burns evenly to the very bottom. Available at Watkins Culver Antiques, 2308 Bissonnet, 713-529-0597, or at Candle Luxury.
Linen and Lace Mother’s Day Champagne Brunch
This Mother’s Day, take Mom to the 7th Annual Linen and Lace Mother’s Day Champagne Brunch and Historic Home Tour. Tickets are $45 at www.galvestonhistory.org.
Pedisavers
This Mother’s Day, give her a pedi with a bonus. Pedisavers are a post-pedicure treat. Slide them on before polishing to seal in moisturizers, kick uncomfortable toe separators to the curb, and keep piggies toasty warm in flip-flops all the way home. Visit www.pedisavers.com to order.
SHUELLA
SHUELLAs are your shoe umbrellas! SHUELLAs are easy to put on and strong enough to walk in with a slip-free sole. Included is a cloth to wipe off any excess water before you fold them up and put them back in their convenient pouch. SHUELLAs come in sizes just like shoes and can be worn over any size heel. Don’t let the weather ruin your shoes again! A great gift for moms who love their shoes. $49.95 at www.shuella.com.
Violet Love Headbands & Apparel
With hundreds of prints to chose from, it’s no wonder Violet Love fans are so loyal. Not only does Violet Love offer a line of couture prints, they also offer “SHE by VL,” a performance line of super-soft, solid-color headbands, and “ECO by VL,” which features textiles made from environmentally-friendly products like bamboo. $17 at www.violetloveheadbands.com.
Rock Your Style with Gypsy SOULE®
Gypsy Soule® is the embodiment of how you feel when you walk into a room and all eyes turn to you. With its signature rock-‘n’-roll attitude, Gypsy Soule® stands for bucking the status quo and for following your ‘soule’ wherever it leads you. Like couture fashion, each piece is individually made by skilled craftsmen for a custom look, and no two pieces are exactly alike. www.gypsysoule.com.
Belle et Bonne Jewelry Goes Green!
Belle et Bonne has designed a fashion-forward, eco-friendly jewelry line made from 100% recycled sterling silver that supports nature. The “Tree of Life” necklace was created by Belle et Bonne jewelry designer Hilary Barbour to help The Nature Conservancy continue its conservation efforts worldwide. These pieces can be layered with other silver necklaces for that stylish layered look or worn alone, depending on personal preference. Great for gift giving! $99 at www.bellebonne.com.
