Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 13, so you have one week to plan for a present (for your own mother, or any of the deserving maternal figures in your life). Here’s our annual roundup of possibilities.
Above: Julie likes the Tea Intro Kit from Portland, Oregon, purveyor T Project, which includes five different hand-blended teas and one single garden tea; $25. Above: Sam Hamilton, the owner of best-in-class kitchen shop March in San Francisco, started the splatterware craze; we’re liking her new cream on white offerings, handmade in Puglia; a lovely Small Pitcher from the line is $50. Above: A perennial favorite with the Remodelista editors: Rough Linen’s Pinafore Apron is the best apron we’ve come across; $85 and available in natural, white, black, charcoal, and indigo. Above: Annie says, “My mother would love this glass vase in smoky gray-blue, to fill with lemonade on the front porch, or with flowers.” The Linné Carafe is made by hand with a variable bubble pattern and is dishwasher safe; 949 SEK at Artilleriet. Above: On a recent trip to New Mexico, Fan paid a visit to the Georgie O’Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe. “I was reminded that my mother loves the landscape out there,” she says. “I’m getting her Georgia O’Keeffe: Living Modern, a book about the artist and her refined style, featuring the artist’s home and wardrobe; $60 at the General Store. Above: On Margot’s wish list: the Picnic Basket with Leather Handle, handmade from Appalachian white ash, available from Mur Lifestyle for $155. Above: Julie has her eye on the Elliott Dress from Portland, Oregon–based Heather Frazier, who recently launched Frazier & Wing, a line of made-to-order dresses that she describes as “quiet clothes for everyday living.” The Elliot dress is $275 and is made of stretch cotton canvas from Japan. Above: “When my mother was last visiting New York, we dropped by the perfumerie Byredo,” Alexa says, “where I got her hooked on La Tulipe. It’s the kind of fragrance we both go for (“springtime in Paris,” according to my mom). I’m planning to get the Body Wash (shown, $50 for a 225 ml bottle) and Hand Cream ($40 for 30 ml) for her this Mother’s Day. Above: My own mother is a fiend for bags and baskets and always likes to support small brands. So I’m getting her the Branch Food & Picnic Tote from San Francisco–based Millie Lottie. Designed for picnics or toting food to parties, it has an extra-wide opening for salad bowls and serving dishes and can be ordered with a waterproof thermal lining; $120. Above: Says Margot, “I’m planning to get my mother Tulip hand cream, part of a new line from Tangent of Sweden makers of laundry soap and shoe polish that we’ve been obsessed with for years now.”TGC206 Tulip Organic Hand Cream is $18 at Tictail.
Above: And for the organization-minded mothers out there, our new book Remodelista: The Organized Homeis $16.96 from Amazon.
