Here's What to Give the Mom Who Gave You Everything

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word “mom”? Do you think of your role as a mother to your own kids, your friends who are amazing moms, or being a mom to your future children? For me, like many, I think about my own mom and everything she’s given to me over the last 23 years. She’s not a regular mom, she’s a cool mom (name that movie)! Without a doubt, her love and support has shaped me into the person I am today. I am proud to call her my mom. I’m so excited to be partnering with Kendra Scott on this post to share my favorite way to show my mom how much I appreciate her – by treating her with all the gifts!

My mom has been my rock and my bff for pretty much my entire life. I know I’m lucky – there are so many people who aren’t fortunate enough to have a relationship like that with their mom. As I’ve aged, I’ve grown to appreciate our relationship even more. I’ve had a lot of ah-ha moments lately, where I’ve realized that my mom is right about almost everything (as much as I hate to admit it). She’s loved me through every high and low of life, through every bad hair color and every crazy dream. A mother’s love is something that’s hard to describe, and it’s even harder to find ways to sufficiently show her how much you appreciate her.

We’ve all seen the meme about wanting to buy your mom an island when you can barely afford a candle. That was so true for me when I was in high school and just starting college. I mean, I still can’t buy her an island at this point in life, but I am a lot more financially secure! Now that I’m slightly more of a grown-up, I am able to invest in more meaningful gifts for my mama.

Kendra Scott has always been my favorite jewelry company, so when I was brainstorming meaningful gifts to get my mom this Mother’s Day, that’s where I started. Their pieces are timeless – they will undoubtedly be passed down from generation to generation along with the memories they created. Investing in a beautiful, meaningful Kendra Scott piece for your mom is an amazing way to show her your gratitude. With so many metals, colors, shapes, and collections, you can find the perfect one-of-a-kind gift for her at Kendra Scott.

These are some of my favorite items that I either own or are currently on my wish list:

My mom is one of the strongest, most beautiful people I know. She’s selfless, kind, and a little bit feisty. She’s everything I aspire to be in life. We look so much alike that her younger self could be my identical twin, and most people can’t tell our voices apart. When I was picking out her Mother’s Day gifts at Kendra Scott, I was instantly drawn to the Lainey Y Necklace. It’s a really high quality piece made of bright silver and brass, and I knew it would withstand the test of time. It perfectly captures both the feisty and refined side of my mom’s personality. When I saw the Kiernan Bright Silver Hoops in Black Pearl, the colors reminded me of the lake – it made me think about the family time spent at our cabin over the years and how grateful I am to have spend every summer there with my parents. When my mom opened them, I didn’t even have to explain – it’s like she read my mind.

I was looking at pictures from my childhood the other day, and even in those late 1990s/early 2000s blurry, imperfect, unposed film photos, my mom’s love really shined through. My biggest dream is that one day I can be half the mom that she is. As I become a mom in the next few years and continue to grow and cherish my Kendra Scott jewelry collection, I will think of the days my kids will be borrowing these pieces from my jewelry box and reminiscing on the good old days.

Basically to sum everything up, moms rock and they deserve the best of the best. Kendra Scott has been my go-to jewelry store for years. I can’t recommend them enough for gifts for every special person in your life (or just if you want to treat yourself!). I’m so excited that they have a store in the Hilldale shopping center in Madison now! It makes it so convenient to stop in and look around. If you’re a last minute shopper like me, you still have time to head there and pick something out for her in time for Mother’s Day. Otherwise, you can take her on a fun shopping day and pick out a few pieces together, or shop online.

Every time she opens her jewelry box and puts on the Kendra Scott piece you gave her for Mother’s Day, your mom will be reminded of your love and gratitude. Even though there is nothing on this planet that could ever thank my mom for everything she’s done for me, but Kendra Scott gifts are the next best thing.

So let’s all raise a glass to moms everywhere – today and every day we celebrate you! Happy Mother’s Day!
