Jelly Loves: Mother’s Day Gift Guide
Honor thy mother. It’s one of the oldest commandments and yet, somehow, it often feels like our gratitude is reserved for a single day.
But at Spread the Jelly, we’re built on a premise that’s painfully simple and somehow still revolutionary: spotlight the mother always. Not just the role. Not just the title. But the actual person. Their thoughts, their feelings, their first-person stories, and not just as an addendum to someone else’s experience.
This guide isn’t just a list of must-haves. It’s a gathering of beautiful ideas—objects, comforts, rituals—that might spark ease, delight, and comfort. Because while nothing can fully speak to the vastness of motherhood, a thoughtful gesture never goes unnoticed.
Curated by mothers, for mothers, this guide was shaped by one simple question:
What small, fun things might help us feel more like ourselves?
1. Mother’s Day Necklace – Coterie x Pamela Love
A beautiful pendant that serves as a visible reminder of the invisible work that motherhood entails. Wear it close to the chest, layered or alone; either way, it holds immense meaning. The kind they’ll cherish forever.
2. Moss Crib – Oeuf
A crib that’s beautiful enough to make the 2 a.m. wakeups feel poetic (sort of). With clean lines and rich, moody tones, it turns necessity into heirloom, becoming a grounding piece for the room where so much begins. Perfect for the mother-to-be.
3. The Replenish Underwear Kit – Underdays
Soft and breathable, these underthings are made from a deliciously luxurious tencel fabric to refresh any intimates drawer. The Replenish Kit comes with six pairs (three briefs, two thongs, and two cheeky cuts) alongside a denim tote for all of life’s adventures.
4. Coterie Giftable Subscription
Elevated practicality is a gift that anyone would appreciate, and this Coterie subscription lightens the load by guaranteeing that soft, plush diapers are there for all the late night witching hours. The subscription comes with 2, 3, 6, 12 month options. Wipes included. (Note from AnaMaria, our editorial director: “If you’re thinking to yourself, no mom wants a diaper subscription, you’d be wrong. I am a new mom and very, very much want a diaper subscription.”)
5. Koala Eco Giftable Bundles
Eucalyptus and lemon myrtle might sound like notes from a luxury perfume, but they’re the signature scents of Koala Eco’s clean, plant-based hand washes, room sprays, body wash, and kitchen cleaners. Everyday chores, now a sensorial experience. Get 20% off all gift bundles and products when you use code Jelly20 at checkout.
6. Solar Eclipse Leopard Brush
Hand-painted and joyful, it’s a brush that turns detangling into a moment of beauty. A little luxury for the five minutes we get to ourselves in the morning. Or between feedings. Or between school drop-off. Or, you know, whenever.
7. Ghia Deluxe Sweet Set
Tart, herbal, and celebratory, this zero-proof indulgence is for the mother who wants to ritualize an afternoon aperitivo. Paw Patrol might be blasting in the background, but who cares, right?
8. Kule Perfect Stripe Tee
The kind of tee that becomes uniform, lightening the mental load that comes with getting both yourself and the kiddos dressed. Crisp, confident, and unfussy. Like her, on her best (and busiest) days.
9. Analuisa Corrigan Curtain Lamp
Art with utility and intention. This sculpture and lamp hybrid is perfect for the space that’s her own: a soft light, a soft glow, and a soft nudge to slow down.
10. Dieux Hydration Set
Some skincare routines require a billion steps, but motherhood is a challenge in time management, and this duo hydrates in one quick application. Thoughtful, grounding, beloved by anyone who tries it.
11. Chan Luu Sequin Tunic
A little shimmer for when she wants to feel luminous, not just “dressed.” Lightweight, breathable, and quietly celebratory. Proof that sparkle can still feel soft.
12. Flamingo Estate Garden Box
Tomatoes, calendula, and other seeds of delight (planted or metaphorical). A box of potential and grounding joy, reminding mom that tending to beauty is also a form of rest.
13. Rocky’s Matcha – Okumidori
Energy without the crash? Sign all of us up. A ceremonial-grade matcha that will turn morning routines into a peaceful ritual worth savoring.
Equal parts cheeky and chic. For their bedside water or table wine to turn life’s little moments into things of beauty.
15. Theragun Mini – Therabody
Pocket-sized relief for shoulders that carry everything. This is a massage that doesn’t require the frustration of time; whether spent booking that appointment or actually making it to one.
16. Alighieri Bottle Opener – A Life Aquatic
Cast in gold-tone brass, this turns every bottle pop into a tiny celebration.
17. Lenys Pescara Slide – Red Velvet
Slippers that double as statement shoes. For the grocery run, the garden stroll, or simply padding around the living room is now strewn with children’s toys and half-eaten toddler lunches.
18. CommeSi Silk Bias Pant
Lounge pants that don’t look like lounge pants. These are the pants that everyday uniforms are made of.
19. Birkenstock Arizona Sandal
A classic for a reason. Reliable, breathable, supportive, and arguably still chic. For the school run, the market, or the morning iced coffee stroll. Opt for the snakeskin print for a hint of everyday glam.
20. Ceremonia Hydrate Kit
A love letter to their roots, literally and figuratively. A haircare trio to soften, hydrate, and protect.
21. Susan Alexandra “I <3 NY” Card Holder
A convenient card carrier that doesn’t take up too much space in the diaper bag or in the clutch, because transferring valuables from wallet to wallet pending occasion almost always ends in disaster.
22. MadeOf Vanilla Protein Powder
A practical gift worth raving about. No weird aftertaste, no chalky finish, just a smooth scoop of extra support to upgrade your morning smoothies.
23. Bed Threads Towel Set – Wildflower
Towels that feel like a hug and look like a still life.
24. Maison Louis Marie Diffuser – No.4
Sandalwood and vetiver blend into a subtle invitation to unwind. A room scent that lingers without feeling overpowering.
25. Olivia Von Halle Velvet Robe
For reading, for nursing, for doing absolutely nothing.
26. Guest in Residence Cashmere Polo
A splurge-worthy style item that will never not be timeless. Quality cashmere ensures decades worth of constant use.
27. Susanne Kaufmann Cleansing Milk
Gentle and soothing, this cleanser removes a day’s worth of grime without stripping dry or sensitive skin of moisture.
28. Moon Juice Dream Dust
Ashwagandha, chamomile, and a nudge toward sleep. A dusting of calm in their nightly cup.
