Mother’s Day is a little over a week away and I tried to think of the items that I’ve either received as a gift or really would love to receive as a gift. I’ve included different price points and in my opinion, there’s something for everyone!
1. Mason Pearson Pocket Brush: I had to include both the Mason Pearson and the Yves Durif (below) because they’re two tools in my hair arsenal I don’t want to be without. The Mason Pearson is my favorite for stimulating the scalp, smoothing the hair (it’s my go-to for when I wear a sleek bun) and for adding shine. I have both the regular size and the pocket, but find I actually use the pocket one more. It’s also ideal for throwing into your bag.
2. Yves Durif Vented Brush: My favorite weapon for gently detangling my hair without any snags, wet or dry. I’ve even used it on hair that I didn’t condition (on days I’m using a post shower hair mask ) and it works perfectly. I’ve tried The Wet Brush and other wide-toothed combs, but none compare. I use on both myself and Sasha regularly and it goes way further than just being an after-the-shower brush.
3. Cuyana Leather Travel Case Set:I have and love this set so much. Instantly makes me feel like I’m that chic travel woman who has her life together.
4. Ring Concierge Bold Gold Cloud Multi Hoops: I recently got these and they’re stunning in person. It’s one earring, but looks like two which is very cool. Not too heavy and they add just the right amount of classic edge. PS: I also have a code Helena20 that’s valid until 5/7 for 20% off all fine jewelry. It will work on all fine jewelry (excludes bespoke, bridal and diamond studs)
5. Dorsey Bennington Riviere Necklace: I’m newer to Dorsey, but this necklace is another item that’s high on my wishlist. I recently saw it on a woman and I was convinced she was wearing real diamonds, until I found out it was this one! Granted, I don’t have the most experienced diamond eye, but I was definitely fooled.
6. Ring Concierge Mini Diamond Tennis Bracelet:This bracelet has been part of my arm stack since I got it, maybe two years ago? It’s beautiful on its own or stacked with something else. It comes in an eternity version and half diamonds and I have the eternity. The code Helena20 is valid on this one as well.
7. Brightland The Duo Olive Oil Set: I’ve become quite addicted to this olive oil after trying it during the pandemic. Since then, knowing how much I love it, Keith has gifted it to me several times. It’s not something I think about buying for myself, but it’s surely something I love receiving as a gift. Add it to a basket with a bottle of wine and some other goodies and it makes for such a beautiful, thoughtful gift.
8. Loewe Anagram Buckle Leather Belt: I don’t personally own this, but it’s definitely on my personal wishlist.
9. Parachute Shearling Wool Slippers: My favorite slippers! So warm, so cozy and such a treat for your feet early in the morning or after a long day.
10. Parachute Cloud Cotton Robe: I’ve had many robes over the years, but none compare to this one. I hate big, bulky robes and this one is the exact opposite of that. Somehow it manages to be both warm (enough), yet completely breathable. I’ve washed it a gazillion times over the last few years and it’s still in perfect condition. I take a size medium.
11. Naghedi St. Barths Medium Tote: I own several Naghedi totes and they’re simply the best. Light-weight, easy to clean and pretty indestructible. Mine have gone through airport travel, train travel, to the beach and everything in between. I love the medium for regular wear and the larger size for when I need to carry my life, laptop and everything in between included.
12. Hotel Lobby Candle City Collection Trio Set: I love a fancy candle, especially if I’m receiving one (or three) as a gift. If three are too many, there’s also the lovely option of one.
13. The Light Salon Boost LED Mask: I don’t want to repeat myself as I’ve gone on and on about my love for this mask. I have an entire post you can read here! My code BROOKLYNBLONDE25 is valid for 25% off. Your complexion will thank you!
