The power of a mother's love builds the foundation of our lives so they deserve all the praise on their special day. They actually deserve more than 24 hours with all of the contractions and stretch marks and breastfeeding and puberty and IVF and adoption and all the things. We also have to factor in that this year's holiday will look different so we need to be extra intentional about our gifts. Million-dollar idea: add a Zoom link to your gift message so you can see her open your gifts.


Normally, you could take mom out for a fabulous brunch or spoil her by preparing breakfast in bed but social distancing or safer-at-home rules may prevent that from happening. We thought it would be thoughtful and unique if you sent her something from these gifts we rounded up.

If we were you, we would add one or all of these items to your cart NOW and add expedited shipping just to be safe.

For the candle addict: THANK YOU, MOM Candle

$30

Give Bath and Body Works a rest and try Homesick's 'Thank You, Mom' candle. The packaging even has blank spaces for you to write special love notes to your dear mom. The candle smells like all the good things you love about your mom: freshly trimmed flowers on the kitchen table and the smell of her whipping up breakfast on Sunday morning.

We All Mess Up Sometimes. But Can You Trust A Friend's Apology?

Although what I mostly deal with when it comes to the clients that I have is romantic relationships, there are definitely times when other topics come up. For instance, recently, someone was talking to me about some drama that they were going through with a friend of theirs. Emotionally, they felt like they were in a bit of a bind because while, on one hand, they had been friends with this individual for over 15 years at this point, on the other, there were certain things that they had done, more than once, that were starting to take its toll.

When I asked my client if they had clearly articulated their feelings, concerns, and boundaries to that individual, they admitted that they hadn’t.
