We said this last year, and we’ll repeat it:
moms deserve so much. All parents do,
but moms are back at it with drop-off s and
juggling aft er a year and a half of remote life, so why
not go a little extra?
And while the holidays are about being grateful,
they are also about cherishing the mom, auntie, stepmom
or grandmother in your life with something
special (when your budget allows it).
Here are 10 gift s we love for moms this holiday
season.
GIFT MOM A COOL BAG: MARISOL
SPORTING BAG BY CLARE V

days, this Clare V crossbody bag gets major points
for its sporty vibe and versatility, which moms will
appreciate at drop-off s, running to work or getting
errands done. $325.
For the organized mom (or the one who likes an
old fashion calendar): planner by Golden Coil
If the mom in your orbit is on her A-game when
it comes to planners, then gift her a planner from
Golden Coil. These are completely customizable,
from choosing the cover to the layout and so much

GIFT FOR MOMS WHO LOVE
WELLNESS: WELLNESS
ADAPTOGENS BY PEAK + VALLEY
It is not a big surprise that many suggested
gifts help nourish and support the mother. And
while a product isn’t necessarily what everyone
needs, there are items out there that offer support
in some form. Nadine Joseph, the founder
and CEO of Peak + Valley, became interested in
how the stress of modern life affects our bodies
while working at a lab studying the neuroscience
of stress. Ironically Nadine was also dealing with
her own chronic stress, and after much research
and studying adaptogens, she founded Peak
+ Valley. Herbal blends like Balance My Stress
and Nourish My Brain are some faves. Wellness
Collection Bundle, $114.
