Mother’s Day Grommet Gift Guide

Mother’s Day is fast approaching (well, I’m not sure if it’s actually approaching any faster than normal, but it sure feels like it is!). If you want to avoid that last-minute rush to find something great for the Mom in your life, take a look at the special Grommets we’re featuring in our Mother’s Day gift guide:

The Finnish Secret. These 70% linen, 30% organic cotton “friction” towels are a specialty of Jokipiin Pellava , a 90-year-old textile business run by the Laurila family. They are designed to dry you off quickly (linen is much more absorbent than cotton), while sloughing off dead skin cells and increasing circulation. Bibi Linen is a natural, hypoallergenic and static- dust-free choice, plus it’s dirt-resistant and easy to launder. (Starting at $21) Buy Jokipiin Pellava’s towels here

Spread The Love. A GlassyBaby is a hand-blown glass vessel that can be used as a candle holder, vase or drinking goblet. They’re colorful and extremely strong, just like their creator Lee Rhodes. It’s not only the beautiful craftsmanship that makes glassybaby unique, but also the genuine spirit of love, hope and support that each glassybaby exudes. They’re truly special vessels that your Mom (Or you!) would enjoy. ($40-$120) Buy your glassbaby here

Sustainable Style. It happens all the time. You’re trying to get dressed and everything you own feels tired and drab. When the wardrobe blues bring you down, strike back with a burst of bold turquoise. Or maybe you’re in the mood for rich cinnamon? No matter your preference, GreenSewn’s vintage silk scarves and wraps are the perfect accessory, with just the right blend of gorgeous colors. They’re handmade in India from upcycled saris, so each one is unique. (Prices vary) Buy Green Sewn vintage silk scarves here.

Fluid Metal Statement. Sergio Gutierrez’s studio, called Liquid Metal, creates gorgeous pieces forged of this luxurious metal mesh that really does feel like it’s melting into your skin. It’s hard to believe Sergio’s exquisite jewelry and accessories are crafted from humble ball and chain pieces. Sergio, an engineer by trade, transforms these simple elements into a stunning mesh-like fabric he creates by soldering the tiny pieces together in intricate patterns. It’s romantic and edgy at the same time, with a personality that will make it one of the go-to pieces in one’s jewelry box. Sure to be a hit! ($68) Buy Sergio Guttierez’s liquid metal mesh cuff bracelet here.

Spice Up Your Drawers. Sometimes it’s the little things that make us feel good, and the details that elevate an everyday item to a luxury. That’s why these beautiful scented drawer liners struck us at Daily Grommet. The exotic flowers, scrolls and geometric patterns put a fresh spin on traditional European imagery and tropical Caribbean designs. If you’re looking for small ways to treat the Mom in your life this year (Even if it’s you!), indulge in scented liners that will transport you to another part of the world every time you open a drawer. ($25) Buy Hammocks & High Tea’s scented paper drawer liners here.

Heartfelt, from the inside out. A sentiment doesn’t have to be broadcast for it to be heartfelt. That’s the whole idea behind HeartThreads, an inspirational line of shirts that have a special message of love printed on the inside of each shirt, next to the wearer’s heart. Give the Mom in your life a special note that she’ll get to see every time she wears her shirt.($30-$36) Buy HeartThreads inspirational t-shirts here.

Belt It Out. Buckle up and prepare to steer your wardrobe in a fun direction. These glass belt buckles from Kiku Handmade can add a jolt of color and style to any outfit. They’re the handiwork of Laurie Freivogel, who etches her designs into glass, colors them, then fuses the pieces together in a kiln she fires up in her home studio. A fun accessory for any woman. ($54 – Belt sold separately) Buy Kiku Handmade belt buckles here.

Goat Milk’s Beauty Secret Legend has it Cleopatra bathed in goat’s milk. We can understand why, now that we’ve experienced firsthand the nourishing, moisturizing power of goat’s milk and Chivas Skin Care. If you really want to take gift-giving to the next level, you can give the gift of a goat. Chivas Skin Care has partnered with The Nomad Foundation to donate a herd of goats to the Tuareg people of Niger. If you purchase this option, one goat will be donated in the recipient’s name. ($25.00 and up) Buy Chivas Skin Care here.

Don’t Slip In Downward Dog. JadeYoga makes mats using natural rubber, which is a renewable resource tapped from rubber trees. The company’s Jade mats contain no PVC, synthetic rubbers or other ozone-depleting substances. They’re made in the U.S. in compliance with all environmental and labor laws. Perfect for the yoga-loving Mom in your life. ($59.95) Buy Jade Harmony’s eco-friendly non-slip yoga mats here.

The Must-Have She Doesn’t Have. Luxe Link purse hooks are small, stylish (recycled zinc alloy paired with vintage Asian designs), and either attach to your purse strap or tuck into their own little suede pouch when not in use. When you get to your destination, just rest the round, decorative top on the table, and hook your purse strap on the chain link that hangs off to the side. All of the cool Moms are sporting one. ($35) Buy Luxe Link here.

Vintage Custom Brooch. Designer Anne Koplik combines glass beads, semiprecious stones and hand enameling to create her signature brooches all of which are made here in the USA. You can even pair one with the stunning book, Mrs. O – The Face of Fashion Democracy, by Mary Tomer, and complete the look. ($39.00-$75.00)
