TIME SAVERS

 Kitchen Helper by One Step Ahead

One of the most fond memories that any kid and  mom have of their time together is baking cookies as a team. However, for moms often this kind of activity with a younger kid means making sure that the child  doesn’t fall off the chair, or burn fingers, or grab a dangerous kitchen utensil.
That’s a lot of stress for something that is supposed to be enjoyable. A perfect gift for an occasion like Mother’s Day would be a Kitchen Helper, a specially designed standing platform that ensures that your child is raised up close to an adult’s  height and at the same time safe from falls and removed from dangerous objects (by ensuring enough distance away from them).

Made out of sturdy hardwood, in two colors to match your kitchen,  it is the only folding safety tower on the market.   By using an adjustable grow with me platform, you will be sure that your child won’t grow out of “helping you” any time soon. Your little helper will adore spending time with mommy and mommy herself will feel good knowing that her child is safe and having fun. And a nice bonus is the fact that every mom we know wants a kitchen helper- trust us, we asked!

Bamboo Dry Shampoo by Alterna

What would be one of the best gifts to get for Mother’s Day? Extra time! Okay, okay–no one can deliver that, but there are certainly ways to help you save time during your daily routine. And a good dry shampoo is one of them! For the busy mom, check out Alterna’s dry shampoo that’s part of their Bamboo Style line.  The Cleanse Extend is a translucent spray dry shampoo which absorbs oil and product build-up so you can refresh your hair in just seconds rather than going through a full washing and drying.

For the label-conscious, Alterna Bamboo Cleanse Extend is free of parabens, sulfates, phthalates, and synthetic color. For a fruity and exotic scent, choose the Mango Coconut. If you like a delicate floral smell, check out the Sheer Blossom. Alterna also makes a powdered dry shampoo as well as other organic hair products that we love.

SKINDINAVIA’s The Makeup Primer Spray

When a new baby is born, the first thing to go from a new mother’s life (along with time, showers, sick days and boredom) is make up. There is just not enough time or motivation to apply make up when you have a child or two to take care of. However, the desire to look young, radiant and beautiful does not go away and it doesn’t have to. Skindinavia’s new make up primer is a perfect gift for the mother on the go who never seems to have time to look polished. This will change that forever. This new lightweight, breathable, silicone-free and paraben-free makeup primer spray is  loaded with vitamins, antioxidants and a proprietary temperature-control technology. Clinically-proven to soothe redness, prevent breakouts, control the appearance of oil, even out skin tone and reduce large pores over time! She can use it under makeup, or without makeup and look amazing either way. The Skindinavia’s primer spray (along with the gifter) will become a mother’s new friend, guaranteed!

Cuisinart Multi-Cooker

If the mom in your life loves spending time in the kitchen, consider gifting her the device that does it all: the Cuisinart Cook Central 3-in-1 Multi-Cooker. This is so much more than just a crock pot, it has three programmable modes (Steam, Brown/Sauté, and Slow Cook) that make it easy to sauté vegetables, brown meats, or slow cook one pot meals. No more switching between several pans while cooking! Make mom’s life easier this Mother’s Day by giving her this fun new “toy” for her kitchen.

Fabric Steamer by Rowenta

What Mommy has copious amount of time to freshly press each and every clothing item before she wears them? Not to mention all those other items such as bedspreads that simply cannot be ironed. That’s why we love this Steamfast Fabric Steamer from Rowenta. Clothing steamers quickly and effectively press your favorite garments or tapestry items using all natural steam. No more dragging out the ironing board from the basement; clothing can be steamed hanging directly on the hanger, saving you time and energy. Here are some of our favorite features of the Steamfast Fabric Steamer:

• 1500-watt fabric steamer with 40-ounce capacity removable water tank
• Heats up in 45 seconds and provides up to 45 minutes of continuous steam

BEAUTY & FASHION

Magic Hour Collection by Jane Iredale

What could be more magical for a Mother’s Day night out than a new make up collection by Jane Iredale, called “Magic Hour“. Named after the most adored evening hour by photographers all over the world, the time  when the light is golden and makes everything seem perfect and dreamy, this collection is designed to recreate the look any time of the day.

Lily Jade “Caroline” Designer Diaper Bag

Is the mom in your life a lover of purses and handbags? If so, the Caroline diaper bag by Lily Jade may just be the perfect high-end Mother’s Day gift for her! We hate to label this handbag a “diaper bag” because it really is a timeless style and the quality will last from the diaper days until the kids are out of the house. Made from premium, buttery soft leather, this bag is the epitome of fashion meets function. Inside this beautiful tote you will find the ingenious “baby bag” organizer, a 16-pocket, easy-to-clean, removable insert that easily attaches to the inside of Lily Jade bags with two magnetic snaps. Use it to organize all of those baby/kid essentials and then snap it out to carry the Caroline as a gorgeous kid-free handbag!

Lily Jade’s Caroline diaper bag is a classic tote-style bag that features a detachable shoulder strap, inner and outer zip pockets, a signature tassel detail, and of course, the removable “baby bag” organizer. It comes in three classic colors: Brandy, Red, and Black.

Tarte Cosmetics

It can be difficult for moms to make time for themselves once they have children. This Mother’s Day, give that stylish woman in your life the gift of something glamorous and just for her: a gorgeous Beauty and the Box eye shadow quad from Tarte Cosmetics! The set of four Amazonian clay eye shadow hues comes in an adorable, easily portable little box. Pictured above is the Secret Garden color palette, and there are three others to choose from. (Not sure which one your wife or mom would like? Ask her friends or her mom to recommend one for you.)

Why not add a few other of Tarte’s eco-friendly products to her gift, also. What’s the perfect thing to pair with the eyeshadow quad? We also love the Fresh Eyes Maracuja Eye Makeup Remover Wipes so she can easily take of her new eye shadow. From lip gloss to mascara, bronzer to makeup brushes, Tarte has something to make the mom in your life feel special!

The Quirky Lizard Hand Stamped Jewelry

Hand stamped jewelry is all the rage these days, and we adore the personalized creations from The Quirky Lizard. Every single product is unique, and handmade specifically for the special Mommy in your life. Whether she is a necklace fan, or an avid ring wearer, she is sure to cherish this handmade and personalized wearable token of love.

All of The Quirky Lizard’s pieces are made out of 22g (naturally hypoallergenic!) stainless steel. It will never rust or tarnish, chip and is durable enough for Mom to wear all the time- even around baby hands! Each piece is hand stamped, so it will never look like another.

We love the look of the stack-able eternity birthstone ring paired with a stacker name ring. Customize your ring by making the eternity ring with your child’s birthstone, along with their name and birth date stamped on a stacker name ring. Rings can be layered up to 4 rings for the average finger. Prices are very affordable, and we love supporting this Ohio-based small business that started as a hobby for a group of girlfriends.

If there’s one thing all moms can appreciate in their beauty routines it is this: simplicity.
