byredo la tulipe body wash
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.
canvas picnic tote 1
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.
