Mother’s Day: A time for mothers to unite during the time of war.

Did you know that American Mother’s Day was not originally created to acknowledge the greatness of moms?  It all began with Ann Reeves Jarvis, a Sunday school teacher.  She set up workshops, called Mother’s Day Work Clubs, to help teach mothers how to care for their children and to battle unsavory living conditions. During and after the Civil War she encouraged women to assist all families regardless of what side they were/had been on. 

At the same time, Julia Ward Howe also participated in the early phase of Mother’s Day.  (She was the poet who wrote lyrics for the “Battle Hymn of the Republic,” a reformer, and an anti-war activist.) Being an anti-war advocate, she called on women to unite for world peace following the bloodbath of the American Civil War.  This was known as the “Mother’s Day Proclamation.” 

Anna Jarvis, the daughter of Ann Reeves Jarvis, was inspired by the work her mother and Julia Ward Howe had done together. She is responsible for establishing the modern Mother’s Day to honor all mothers.  However, her great idea evolved past what she hoped it would be. When the holiday eventually went mainstream, Anna was disheartened. She did not approve of how commercialized the once-noble holiday had become.  And she spent her last days trying to dismantle the very holiday she worked so hard to create. 

Consider all of the political conflicts erupting around the world today. A celebration of Mother’s Day is every bit as apropos as it was back in the late 1800s. It’s time to return to the original purpose and honor all mothers, no matter what side they are on.

Best Gift for Your Stylish Mama

The quintessential Mother’s Day present is…breakfast in bed. You can up your game by delivering her breakfast goodies on a fabulous serving tray that lets her know how special she is. This gorgeous “I’m a cool mom” serving tray is saucy and glamorous, just like your mom. It’s made from Acacia wood, which is the hardest of all the hard woods, and it’s water-resistant too. That means it’s perfect for breakfast in bed. This tray is a sturdy gift that’s sure to last! Plus, it’s on sale now for $70!  If you want this tray customized with your mom’s name, just let us know, and we’ll do our best to honor any special requests.

Don’t forget to get your mom matching coasters, because you know she hates it when you scratch up her coffee table with your glassware.  These coasters match the design of the tray, but we’ve got lots of other great mom-appropriate coasters, too. How about a Rosie the Riveter coaster, dog breed coasters, city/state coasters, or something else? (Coasters are $30 for a set of 4.)

Best Gift for a Mama Bear

What's a Mama Bear? A mama bear is one that’s extra protective of her kiddos. Is your mom the type to rush to your house with a tray of lasagna upon hearing that your refrigerator is empty? Does she swoop in with fresh laundry when you’re in crunch time during exams or overwhelmed with a big work deadline? Yeah, you’ve got a mama bear on your hands. This year, say “thank you” to your mom for always looking out for you!

These Mama Bear glasses (set of 2) are cute as heck! We do all of our engraving and etching in-house because we don’t trust anyone else to meet our ridiculously high standards. Sound familiar, children of a mama bear? These glasses are the perfect way for mom to drink her “lemonade” (wink, wink) with a little style! They are on sale now for Mother’s Day for $35.

Or is your Mama Bear more the type who is forever reading how-to books, or ready to unwind once she knows her cubs are safe? Another great gift idea is an Amazon Kindle Unlimited subscription. Amazon Kindle Unlimited is a great choice because it gives access to over 2 million books for reading or even listening!  The best part about this subscription is it works with any device! Right now, Kindle Unlimited subscriptions are on sale for $5 for the first two months and $9 per month after that.

Best Gift for a Lifetime Learner Mom

Maybe your mom is the type that’s always learning something new and always chasing after a new hobby. Wow, what a fabulous time we live in that we can easily find classes for whatever strikes our fancy!  Imagine your mom taking a class about cooking from Gordon Ramsey!  How about a singing lesson from Christina Aguilera?  No, wait! Sure, mom knows how to make a pot roast that will disappear. But how about learning real magic from Penn and Teller?!  Keep mom’s mind sharp as a tack from the comfort of her own home with enjoyable education opportunities from Masterclass! There are three different levels of membership, starting at $15 per month for an individual. (There are family plans, too.) 

Best Present for your Wine-Loving Mommy

Is your mom a wine lover? Maybe she loves a glass of something sweet after dinner. Or maybe she’s a real connoisseur and has plans to visit Sonoma sometime. If your mother enjoys a glass of wine, then we have the perfect gift for you!

This barrel stave wine hanger allows her to hang her favorite wine glasses off of her favorite bottle of wine. It’s a space saver, and it’s decorative too. This glass hanger is made from genuine distilling barrels that have been repurposed for a new life on mom’s china cabinet.

Does your mom regularly have friends over to enjoy wine with her? Then getting her some wine glass charms is a great way to keep track of which glass belongs to which person. We have a wide selection of adorable wine glass charms, but we think most moms would like these flower charms. They are $15 for a set of 8, and they are going to look positively charming on your mother’s brunch table.

Presents for a History-Loving Mom

Is your mom fascinated by all things history?  Maybe obsessed with everything British—Bridgerton, Escape to the Country, and Doc Martin? You can make your mom an official Lady of Scotland by purchasing a title package.  It is a fun and unique gift, and definitely way cooler than naming a killer asteroid after your mom!  You literally buy her a tiny square of land in Scotland, and she’ll get a title to go along with it. Prices start at $50. This similar website offers a Ladyship title, plus 5 square feet of land, for $31.

When you’re done making her an official Lady, you can check back in with us. We can customize most gifts—easily since everything is hand-made—with her new title.

Best Present for your Athletic Mommy

Is your mom awesomely fun and fit? Is she easing into retirement by getting her golf game on? If yes, then we have the perfect gift for your mom! This amazing golf decanter and glass set is definitely unusual and eye catching. It would look amazing on your mother’s sideboard in the dining room, and she can play with what kinds of spirits taste best after decanting. On sale now for $208, this lead-free glass decanter is hand-blown borosilicate glass. This decanter is really thick and heavy. That means that it is less prone to breaking and is made to last. What’s more, it’s actual craftsmanship, since it is crafted by hand. We can also affix an engraved message plate to the serving tray, so your mom can smile and know how much you love her every time she goes to refill her drink.

Check our website, because we have some other sports-related decanter sets that might be of interest to your mom. If she just happens to win your family’s fantasy football tournament each year, then, oh yes—we have a gift for her.

If you like the idea of the golf ball decanter and glass set but don’t have $200 to spend, we sell the glasses on their own for $35 for a set of two.

For your fab, fit, and fun mom: There’s a charming gift box we found that’s well worth the money, actually. It has some exercise paraphernalia, beauty supplies, a handy carry bag to take to the gym, and lots more, for $50.
