Mother’s day is quickly approaching, May 14th if you didn’t already know. I struggle every year to buy for my parents. How do you buy a gift for someone that’s given you so much and on top of that has logged some miles and therefore already has a lot or been given a lot of gifts…

So in an attempt to be creative here is my list of personalized Mother’s day gifts!

1.) A Custom Water Color. I recently worked with Kearsley Lloyd to gift my mother a portrait of the home we grew up in.

2.) Mark and Graham is another great company for personalized gifts. I especially love this tote but check out their entire Mother’s Day Gift Guide here for more options.

3.) Custom Cutting Boards – the options from Soundview Millworks are endless. Do you have a favorite vacation spot? Special date? family crest or symbol? sports fan? We have purchased quite a few of these as gifts and they are great quality.

4.) Monogram Anything – but I especially love this charm bracelet from Moon and Lola. You can purchase as many charms and mix and match as you wish. My grandmother has a charm bracelet with the charm for each of her 5 children and 12 grandchildren; we all admire it.
