It has been a very busy spring season thus far, and if you’re anything like me, Mother’s Day has seemingly popped up out of nowhere! On this holiday, I typically like to show my mom, grandmother, and a few mother figures in my life how much they mean to me with tokens of my appreciation that focus on self-care and enable them to take a moment to do something special for themselves. These gifts can be procured without breaking the bank, too! Below, I have curated a selection of easy but thoughtful gift ideas for anyone who deserves your recognition on Mother’s Day – all for under $100! – that I hope you will find helpful.
SUPREME MODELS: ICONIC BLACK WOMEN WHO REVOLUTIONIZED FASHION
Written by celebrity stylist, journalist, and beloved “Every Skin Has a Story” guest, Marcellas Reynolds, “Supreme Models” is the first-ever art book celebrating black models. Filled from cover-to-cover with revealing essays, interviews, and stunning photographs, this is an exquisitely inspiring book that anyone would want to have grace their tabletop or home library.
CONDITIONING TONIC WITH CHAMOMILE
CONDITIONING TONIC WITH CHAMOMILEOne of my favorite Retrouvé products that benefits almost any skin type, Conditioning Tonic with Chamomile is delivers a soft, soothed feeling as it brightens and tackles dullness, uneven texture, and dryness. It is also very refreshing, a definite plus as we head into warmer months!
YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL CANDLE
Artist and beauty guru Michael Angelo’s “YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL” candle sends a message that we all need to hear, and its clean, clear, woody, floral fragrance smells amazing. And even better, 10% of the selling price benefits The Ali Forney Center, a NYC based non-profit which exists to protect homeless L.G.B.T.Q. youths from the harms of homelessness and empower them with the tools to be independent.
DERMAL DEFENSE HAND CREAM
Featuring sustainably grown Avocado, Marine Extracts and Niacinamide, our award-winning, vitamin-infused botanically based Dermal Defense Hand Cream helps to hydrate, enhance, soften, and brighten overworked skin in this vulnerable area. Want to really make Mom’s day? Give her a hand massage, too!
VALDÉ RITUAL CREAMY SATIN LIPSTICK
Single-stroke color payoff vegan lipstick founded by “Every Skin Has a Story” guest and beauty industry powerhouse, Margarita Arriagada. Containing hyaluronic acid and antioxidant-rich botanical extracts to help soften, smooth, and replenish the lips’ natural moisture barrier, ‘Curiosity’ may just be the perfect nude for any skin tone.
BESTIES BIO PURE BLEND & CLEANSE STARTER SET
Beautyblender has gone green! We love “Every Skin Has a Story” guest and brand founder Rea Ann Silva’s Beautyblender Bio Pure, made of BioPlush (60% renewable sugarcane) foam, for applying our favorite Retrouvé moisturizers!
