Call Your Mom: A Mini Gift Guide
...or treat yourself to a little something.
Today’s letter is presented by Counter Beauty.
Mother’s Day is on Sunday, the 10th! Did you forget? Oops! No worries, though. We have a gift guide with all kinds of great stuff right here. Need even more ideas? That’s okay, too! Below, a quick and dirty short list of (more) things we know she’d love. Just don’t forget the card, ok?
Madame Grey Perfume: arresting, mysterious, ageless… pretty much perfect. A very limited selection of full-size bottles is available at 20% off for a short time with code LOVELISTVIP — along with timely mailing for Mother’s Day.
Counter Beauty: If she’s the kind of Mom who feels overwhelmed by the enormity of products on the market, give her the gift of one less decision: a simple, easy-to-maintain routine. First, a simple but effective daily facial sunscreen (because you love her and want her to be safe). Next, a plumping, mild, and peptide-rich moisturizer to apply after. (Perhaps be ready to explain what peptides are!) Finally, a dewy skin tint to even out imperfections — easy enough to apply with fingertips in two minutes, without the cakiness of full-coverage foundation. Better yet, the brand is running a sitewide Friends & Family event, offering up to 30% off. Mama didn’t raise a fool who overpays!
Tania Buholes tea cup set: Teacups with butterfly wings? For the Mom who loves a little whimsy, these are the sweetest!
EREDE Delta signet ring: I love Co-founder and Designer Talia Levy’s beautiful shots of her Mom, decked out in diamonds from her brand. The Delta Signet ring is an incredible gift if you really want to spoil her.
Celisse “Little Something” nail set (THELOVELIST for 15% off): If she’s like me and hates sitting still every two weeks for a tedious manicure, give her Celisse’s starter set of low-maintenance nail tools and quick-drying polish that swipes on almost as fast as a lipstick. She’s busy!
Custom Lingua Franca sweater (JESS10 for 10% off): If she has opinions about things like ICE raids, get her a cheeky knit that takes no prisoners.
Il Buco Vita anything (JESS15 for 15% off): From beeswax candles and chic coffee mugs to winged decanters and Portuguese pottery, if she loves to cook and entertain, send her something from the beloved New York institution where I’ve made many fond memories with the Moms in my own life.
And if you’re in New York… some friends of The Love List, including Kindred Black and Don’t Let Disco, are gathering to put on a trunk show for you last-minute shoppers:
Love the elegance and thoughtfulness of the Mother’s Day list.
