16 Awesome Gifts For Mother’s Day
1. Mother I love you
“Dan clung to her in speechless gratitude, feeling the blessedness of mother love, — that divine gift which comforts, purifies, and strengthens all who seek it.”
―Louisa May Alcott
Your mum was the first person to tell you that you are special and that you are capable of doing what you want to do. She was the first one to empower you when she said, “You are as capable as anyone else, and being a girl is no reason for not doing anything.” Show your gratitude today with a tote that says “I love you, Mom” from Clare V’s.
Also, your mum will be pleased to know that Clare V’s will donate 100 per cent of its net profits to the organization, Every Mother Counts. Every Mother Counts is working to make childbirth safer for mothers all over the world.
2. Flats
For the mom who is always up and about, a pair of beautiful flats could be a great gift idea. Make sure the shoes are stylish and does complete justice to your Mum’s impressive personality.
3. Meringues
Did you inherit your sweet tooth from your Mommy? If yes, then this Mother’s Day get her some amazingly light meringues that she can indulge in and remember you.

Was your mum one of those who was heart-broken after the election results were announced on the 8th of November, last year?

“Mama took me in her arms and held me tight. Her embrace was hot and she smelled like sweat, dust, and grease, but I wanted her. I wanted to crawl inside her mind to find that place that let her smile and sing through the worst dust storms. If I had to be crazy, I wanted my mama’s kind of crazy, because she was never afraid.”
―Sarah Zettel, Dust Girl
This is one of my favorite on this list of gifts for Mother’s Day, because in this you get to write your heart out. Write the things you have always wanted to tell your mum, but were too busy, too embarrassed, too full of yourself and your problems to say it to her. I promise you, this will be something the two of you will cherish for years to come.

―Jojo Moyes, One Plus One
This Mother’s Day, get your mommy an art she will heart. Get her a cup that reminds her to: “Be The Awesome Woman You Are” or “You Are A Boss”, because for so many years, she has been a major source of positivity and inspiration for you and continues to be. It is time to reverse the roles!
Mother’s Day this year is on the 14th of May, this year. How are you planning to celebrate it? Are you going the Jarvis way and writing your Mother a letter, pinning down everything that you love about her (now, that must be quite a list!), or are you gifting her something from this list, something that she has been wanting for quite some time? How about spending the whole day with your mommy and doing all the things (almost!) that you both have been planning to do for quite a while? Remember, time slips through our fingers before we know.
Here’s wishing all the mothers, the nurturers, the ones who love selflessly, a very Happy Mother’s Day from everyone at New Love Times. We love you and are proud of you!
