Mother’s Day is a time to show the moms in your life how much you love and appreciate them. Oftentimes, however, we struggle to find something perfect for the ones who have done so much for us over the years. There are always the classic gifts like jewelry, flowers, and a special family brunch, but sometimes we want our gift for Mother’s Day to be a little more unique and different than the typical gifts. Daily Mom has you covered if you’re looking for something a little different this Mother’s Day with our favorite unique gifts for the person who has sacrificed so much.
WOODSNAP
PERFECTLY MESHING MEMORIES WITH NATURE
TOP MOTHER’S DAY PICKS
Photographs tell the stories of our lives; often as mothers, our stories are deeply intertwined with our children’s smiling faces. These photos provide us with a way to capture our memories forever in one moment of time. WoodSnap helps to take the mundane out of printing and preserving images. Your photos will be printed on wood, giving them a totally unique, natural look.
No mother will deny that the smile on her child’s face makes her heart sing. But as mothers, we can admit that sometimes the way we display photographs is well, rather boring. Enter WoodSnap – the innovative new way to print your photos on wood. The process is so easy: select the size of the print, upload the photo, and check out. Sizes vary from smaller square photos perfect for Instagram to large panoramic or canvases perfect for your professional photographs. They even come in fun shapes such as hexagons and hearts.
They don’t use any white ink in their printing, so anything light in your picture will have the wood grain showing through. Photos are printed directly on premium baltic birch wood, so colors are vibrant and crisp without losing any quality. The natural wood grain also gives each photo printed its own fingerprint – no two photos will look the same.
ABOUT WOODSNAP
WoodSnap is a Southern California based company that uses a patent pending technology to embed ink directly into wood. The company was started in 2011 by Ricky Anderson and Mike Lastrina. The printing process is what really makes their company stand out. It took over nine months to process, which is somewhat similar to the tattoo process. One of their biggest concerns was the effect of WoodSnap on deforestation. The birch wood they use comes from juvenile trees and does not have the same effect as cutting down 100 year old trees or entire forests. Instead, the effect is more like that of cutting down a Christmas Tree. Yet, they still wanted to do more and created “Roots for Trees”, where for every Woodsnap purchased a Redwood tree is planted. Thus making this the perfect trifecta of Mother’s Day gifts – beautiful, unique, and environmentally friendly.
VAUVA
PERFECT FOR THE MINIMALIST MAMA
TOP MOTHER’S DAY PICKS
Vauva created the ultimate minimalist diaper bag for those mamas who want to be hands free while looking polished in their “less is more” style backpack.
If you’re looking for a chic, durable, convenient, and hands free diaper bag, look no further — the Vauva Diaper Bag Backpack is the bag of your dreams. This gorgeous faux leather backpack combines fashion with function to create everything you want in a diaper bag,but with a simple, minimalist, and smart design.
It’s no secret that most people stuff their diaper bags with everything but the kitchen sink, just in case. After all, if it all fits in the bag, why not!? But overstuffing a bag means you’re spending time searching for things you need, and finding things you forgot you even had in there. With the Vauva diaper bag, this problem is eliminated. With just enough (and not too many) pockets to stay organized, you won’t be searching for that lost pacifier in what seems to be a black hole.
You don’t have to worry about a heavy diaper bag slipping off your shoulder as your hands are full with your squirmy little one; this backpack is lightweight and stays in place with adjustable straps. They call it the un-diaper bag, and with good reason. The 100% faux leather can be easily wiped clean, and the elegant, sturdy hardwaregives this bag all the chic vibes that look good on moms and dads. This stylish bag is nothing like the bulky, complicated, or cutesy diaper bags that you’re used to seeing.
ABOUT VAUVA
Vauva was born in 2016 when Kelsie Rios, mother of a one year old, realized there were two problems with standard diaper bags — 1. They are big, bulky, and things get easily lost in all that space. And 2. There wasn’t a bag that matched her style: classy and minimalist. She and her husband Jeremy, felt if they had a simpler diaper bag design, their lives would be much simpler as well. They made it their mission to create a minimalist bag perfect for moms and dads that was simple, sexy, and frustration free. Kelsie came up with exactly what she wanted in this minimalist diaper bag, and Jeremy made it happen. The Vauva backpack gives you just what you need and nothing more.

KELLY MOORE BAG
FOR THE MOM-TOGRAPHER LOOKING FOR THE PERFECT ALL-IN-ONE BAG
TOP MOTHER’S DAY PICKS
Shortly after moms are born into the world of motherhood their hobbies and interests often fall to the wayside. Our lives become consumed with diaper bag contents and little bodies clinging to ours. And although motherhood is rewarding and wonderful, many moms long for time to pursue their interests outside of being mom. If you have a mother in your life who is also a photographer, she will need a camera bag that fits her busy, on-the-go lifestyle but will also keep her precious cargo safe.
The Kelly Moore Austin bag offers mom-tographers a versatile bag that will hold their camera and lenses, as well as all the snack cups and diapers, in a trendy and convenient bag. The drawstring and snap closure allows for easy access to everything inside. It is made from their new Cambrio material which is water and abrasion resistant, as well as vegan friendly, making it a great option for moms who will inevitably have someone spill something on it at some point.
The pockets in the Austin bag seem endless, too. There are three pockets on the front – two zipper pockets and one envelope pocket – and the back has another zipper pocket. The interior has SEVEN different pockets to help you configure your bag to your needs.There are two adjustable dividers, two clear envelope pockets, two other large spaces on the removable basket to store your iPad or other like-sized items, and one inner zipper pocket.
Kelly Moore also gives you a variety of ways to wear your Austin bagdepending on what you’re doing that day. You can carry it as a tote, a shoulder bag, or a cross-body messenger bag depending on which strap you use. The inner, removable basket is large enough to hold a camera body with a lens attached and a ten inch lens, giving you enough space to hold all your gear.
The Austin bag comes in cream with brown accents (bone), or black (shadow), which is great for professional photographers. If you are looking for something a little more trendy, they also offer a stone and bone combination which gives you the black and cream together in one fantastic bag.
ABOUT KELLY MOORE
Kelly Moore Bags was started by photographer Kelly Moore Clark when she couldn’t seem to find a bag that fit her busy lifestyle of a photographer and as a mother. In 2010 she started mailing orders for her new bag out of her garage. In two months she was sold out because of the popularity among other photographers for something versatile and trendy enough to fit all aspects of their lives. Since then she has grown her line to include 19 different bags in countless colors and style aspects. They have their first brick-front store as of the fall of 2013 in Downtown Rusten, Louisiana where she spends her days designing, photographing, and raising her three children.

NAP ANYWHERE
PERFECT FOR THE TRAVELING MOM WHO IS ALWAYS READY TO FEEL RESTED – EVEN ON THE GO!
TOP MOTHER’S DAY PICKS
Whether you are gearing up for a road trip, braving the vanpool commute, or simply taking care of your body in an upright position in order to get the much-needed rest all moms need, Nap Anywhere just may be the number one Mother’s Day gift you’ve been dreaming about (who needs a head-banging mom anyway?)!
Sure, you could grab those over-priced u-shaped neck travel pillows that line every airport from here to Antartica, but why, when you can travel in both style and comfort with the most innovative head-support pillow available on the market. The NapAnywhere® travel pillow makes traveling easy and comfortable with its portable size and shape. It’s perfect to avoid the after-travel slump and arrive at your destinations refreshed and ready to go – especially if you are on your way to the in-laws.
What you may not know about one of the common problems with many travel neck pillows on the market is that they are just too big and awkward to make traveling with them convenient – especially if you have your toddlers in tow with the double stroller.
In addition, the unfortunate truth is that many of the u-shaped pillows are incapable of providing the necessary support needed to provide high levels of comfort. No comfort equals less rest and a tired and drained momma whose job isn’t even finished yet.
The NapAnywhere® travel pillow is small, convenient, and ultra-supportive. In fact, the NapAnywhere® travel pillow is small enough to fit easily into a diaper bag. When worn, the NapAnywhere allows the muscles in the neck to relax as the head is fully supported. Mom, wherever you may be, whether in bed, on a road trip, commuting, or simply in the lazy boy – kick up your feet, and rest without any kinks, head jerks, or stiffness!
ABOUT NAP ANYWHERE
The NapAnywhere is not a neck pillow. It is a minimalist, head support device. It effectively provides head support while in a seated position and is convenient to carry anywhere. Part engineering and part origami, the NapAnywhere’s design is one of a kind, winner of a 2014 Product Innovation Award at the International Travel Goods Show.
