Support Small Businesses This Mother’s Day

By: Liv Briley

Finding the perfect gift for the mothers in your life can bring on a headache. After all, how do you express all of your gratitude and love with just one present? There may never be a truly perfect gift, but finding something unique and thoughtful tends to go a long way with expressing your appreciation. Rather than heading to the department store this Mother’s Day, check out some of these small businesses to find a special gift for any of the wonderful moms you know. 

Jewelry 

Everyone loves to own jewelry that few others have, and small businesses are a great place to look for pieces you have never seen before. Brands like HART and En Route Jewelry are a few options for the perfect jewelry to gift on Mother’s Day.

Ceramics

Handmade printed ceramics have been growing in popularity over the past year, and Pomme Ceramic is just one of many small businesses to choose from. From floral coffee mugs to heart-shaped stirring spoons, these original pieces make an adorable gift for anyone who loves to mix style and substance. 

Sentimental Gifts 

The best gifts to show you care are not the most expensive, but the ones that you put thought into. Make your memories with your mom into a beautiful book with Artifact Uprising, or send in t-shirts from trips or her college years to Memory Stitch for a custom t-shirt quilt. 

Candles 

It is hard to go wrong with a candle for any gifting occasion, and the products from Appalachian Jules take this classic gift a step further with fresh scents and subtle touches that set homemade candles apart from generic store-bought varieties. 

Moms do so much every day to make us feel special, and small businesses are an ideal place to shop for something to make them feel as seen and loved as they deserve. No matter what you choose to give this Mother’s Day, be sure to pair it with some words of gratitude for the women who have made you who you are.
