Babes & Beignets: The Greatest Gifts for Mom this Year

By Babes & Beignets

In the words of JT, “it’s gonna be May” and that means it’s time to celebrate the most important babe in your life, your mom!

Whether she’s a foodie, into fitness, a fashionista, a book worm or all of the above, we’ve got the perfect gifts to spoil mom with this year.

Curdbox Subscription

Curdbox is a cheese + pairings subscription box from Curds & Co., (a fine cheese shop and school, which was voted Best Cheese Shop Boston 2018).

Inside every curdbox is a curated story with 3 artisanal cheeses, 3 specialty food pairings, wine pairing and information card, Spotify playlist, Curdcast podcast and maker video. (Check out some of our previous boxes here).

They will be ready to go nationwide on May 1st with their upcoming Kickstarter campaign! Check them out here.

A One of a Kind Necklace

We’ve recently become obsessed with Cristy Cali’s jewelry. She’s a badass New Orleans babe who’s built a unique brand with designs for every type of babe.

Check out the freshwater pearl Magnolia necklace when shopping for the perfect Mother’s Day gift. We like this design because according to Cristy Cali’s website, “Magnolia’s are certainly emit a “yin” feminine energy. The color white has usually always represented purity, peace, grace and nobility.”

These are all qualities our moms most certainly embody!

PS: You can enter to win one of these for your mom on our Instagram!

A Spa Date

Your mom has put up with you for many years! Now that you’re somewhat of a functioning adult yourself, you know she deserves to relax and unwind.

Treat your mom to a spa date for the both of you (don’t forget to let her pick the date – it’s all about her this month!) Bonus points if you turn it into a little staycation for the two of you.

Fun Activewear

If your momma loves fitness, or just loves athleisure we’ve got the perfect gift for her as well: a matching top and bottoms set from MoveMe Activewear.

This female-owned brand is inspired the city of New Orleans and comes in many fun colors. Check them out here.

A Cute Plant

Did you know you can buy plants online? We didn’t up until recently and we can’t stop buying them!

We are loving this Mini Gardenia tree that can live both indoors as well as outdoors. But wait, don’t forget to get her a cute planter as well!

A Great Summer Read

Is your mom a bookworm? Get her a book that she can enjoy while relaxing by the pool or the beach this summer. Here are some suggestions that we’re sure she’ll enjoy

• Becoming by Michelle Obama – A book that any badass babe will enjoy. You should read it too after your mom is done with it!
• Save Me the Plums by Ruth Reichl – If your mom is a foodie, she’ll love this memoir by Gourmet’s former editor-in-chief.
• Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens – Reese Witherspoon liked this book so much that she’s turning it into a movie. And well, we all love anything Reese loves.
• The Witch Elm by Tana French – If your mom loves a good thriller, she’ll love this book. Even Stephen King was captivated by it!
• Family Trust by Kathy Wang – Did your mom love Crazy Rich Asians? She’ll love this novel as well!

Elegant Hair Barrettes

Barrettes are back in style and we know every woman is obsessed with them! If your mom is a fashionista that loves wearing the latest trends, you are definitely going to make her style with this set of 15 hair clips.

Happy Shopping, Babes!
