Woven Sun Hats
Handmade in Ecuador
A high quality, classic sun hat is a wardrobe staple for women of all ages. Our Maui cruiser is excellent if she travels a lot, because it is flexible, packable. Its one of my personal favorites because it matches nearly any outfit. For a touch of elegant drama, our limited edition Mads & Ivory two toned Panama hat is incredibly gorgeous.
Bonus gift idea: Add one of our bandanas. They can be folded and tied around the brim as a stylish hat band.
Vintage Inspired Charm
Handmade Jewelry
I'm fairly wild about our Heart Locket Necklaces because you can personalize them with pictures inside. For Mother's Day, a picture of her children would make for a beautiful gift. They are handmade in Edinburgh and the vintage style design would fit most women's style.
Our World Map Locket Necklace is also very beautiful, especially if she loves travel. It's a little larger than the heart, if you think she'd prefer larger pictures inside.
I also recommend our stud earrings not only because they're adorable, but because they come in really cute glass bottles, that make them perfect for gifting (pic below). The Swallows are great if she prefers simple, comfortable jewelry. The Palm Leaf Earrings are some of my personal favorites to wear right now; they're a little bigger for more drama.
Gifting Tip: Our Bandanas make great eco-friendly gift wrap for small items. they can be reused for future presents or double as a gift in itself!
Designed in California
Shoes for Spring
Spring is the perfect time for some new shoes! These two are stylish but also so comfy. They're great for brunch with friends, beach adventures with family, relaxing poolside, and more. She'll feel like she's on a vacation every time she wears them!
If You're Unsure of Her Size...
Women's Clothing
Shopping for other people is so hard, especially if you're not sure of your size. As a fashion designer, I'm sell a lot of clothes to women shopping online, so I'm always looking for ways to make them have a flexible fit.
These three styles are great because they're stretchy in just the right places. They're also super comfy and elegant.
Our Whitecliff Dress is pure luxury, made from 100% cotton and featuring pockets! (Well, all of these styles have pockets, because I LOVE pockets). It has a stretchy waist and back with very flattering tailoring. Definitely a safe choice if you're not sure on her size. The midi length is great on any height.
Our Palisades Skirt and Avalon Dress both feature *POCKETS* and a very stretchy. With a fit and flare shape, they look great on just about everyone. Super comfy too. I don't make not comfy clothes. They're also midi length, so look great on petite women, tall women, and everyone in between.
Last, our Menton Trousers. These ones are a tiny bit more risky, because if she's petite they'll need to hemmed. But they are just phenomenal. The back is elastic, so they're really stretchy and comfortable. Wide leg throughout, they're super flattering.
If You Do Know Her Size...
Spring Clothing
If you do know your mother's or the mother of your children's size, that opens things up more. Our Linen Button Downs and Linen Vests are really beautiful. They pair well with the Menton Trousers listed above. We offer both prints and solids of both colors, depending on what you think she might like.

Any of the products in this gift guide would be great for new moms, but this section focuses specifically on functional, comfortable accessories that will make her life easier... while still being stylish, of course!
Our hands free Fanny Packs are perfect for new moms and mothers of young children that have enough to juggle. They zip easily, are easy to clean, and feature padded, soft fabric.
If she's busy and wants to put her hair up, our Flower Embroidered Baseball Cap is great.
Our collection of Scarves make an excellent hair accessory too. They're super functional and soft, perfect in case baby needs lightweight sun protection, there's a mess to clean up, and more. Gifting tip: These also make great eco-friendly gift wrap for smaller items!
