With the current state of the world, everyone’s priorities have changed. Thinking less about the luxuries in life, and more about the true necessities. Moms more than anyone else, are the ones to always put everyone first before themselves. Considering we have all been spending more time at home and less time dining out, that more often than not means more work for her–although we truly hope not!
So in our minds this year is more important than ever before to celebrate the moms in your life, and we are confident that it will go a LONG WAY. Instead of rounding up all the beautiful glitz and glamorous gifts, like the accessories she’s been wanting, jewelry (which we usually say is a woman’s best friend), and other things alike… this year we are focusing on items we feel are #QuarantineLife approved. Because let’s face it. Life as we know it, has changed. Hopefully not permanently, but all we can do is adapt… for now.
So here are our favourite picks on ways to make Mom feel special, loved, pampered, and equip to whatever quarantine life has had in store–or what she’s been keeping busy with. 😉
