Six Ways to Mother’s Day
Mom does it all: teacher, chef, protector, provider, superhero, and all-around guardian angel. As Mother’s Day approaches, here are six ways to give back to the woman who’s always given so much.
1. Eames Walnut Stool, Charles & Ray Eames - Like Mom, Ray Eames was one of a kind. Her background as a sculptor helped her create these versatile mid-century modern gems to accompany Charles’ chairs for the Time-Life Building in New York. Choose from three unique sculpted silhouettes in solid walnut. Get one at Herman Miller.
2. Bread Board, from Epicurean - No more crumbs on Mom’s floor! The Epicurean Bread Board’s smart design catches and contains the crumbs, leaving her counter clean. Head to the flip side for a smooth, daily food-prep surface. Choose from slate or natural, both NSF- and FSC-certified. Find it at Epicurean.
3. Bezel Case for Apple iPhone 4/4S, from Qmadix - Mom looked out for you all those years, now with the Qmadix Bezel you can protect her iPhone for her. Its ingenious slide-locking mechanism fits her phone perfectly, while its aircraft-grade aluminum tooling fits her hand perfectly. Mom (and Siri) will thank you. Slide one on at Qmadix.
4. The Market Bag, from Moop - Your mom probably carried just about everything in her bag at one time or another — from your bottle to breath mints, from tissues to toys. Now you can give her a hand with the Moop Market Bag. Made from 100% cotton rosewood corded canvas, it’s the perfect go-everywhere, do-everything bag for the lady who goes everywhere and … well, you get it. Bag one at Moop on Etsy.
5. Teardrop Vase, from Urbana Design - Mom will cry tears of joy when she sees the flowers you get her (hint, hint) in this unique teardrop vase from Derek Chen’s Urbana Design. Choose any of six different veneers and four resin colors, in three sizes. Perfect for any flora on Mother’s Day. Get one at Urbana Design.
6. Wonder Woman Cuff, Tina Frey Designs - Let’s face it, there’s only one true Wonder Woman in our lives — and that’s Mom. Beautiful and brave, she’s the ultimate superhero. Remind her of her amazing powers with Tina Frey’s handmade resin Wonder Woman Cuff. Choose from eight heroic colors, at Tina Frey Designs.
