Mother’s Day Gift Guide: presents for every mom

Every mom deserves a special gift from our Mother’s Day Gift Guide. | Graphic provided by 6AM City

This year, instead of grabbing a last-minute present from the store, why not get the mom figure in your life a gift that is truly unique?

To help you out, we’ve created a gift guide featuring items from our online store, Six & Main, as well as products we love from other popular brands.

Moms are important to us all year, but Mother’s Day is when we can really show how special they truly are to us. From presents for the food and beverage fan to the art collector, let this gift guide lead you to the perfect present.

🌳 The outdoor enthusiast

Let mom enjoy the outdoors and drink wine without the mess with these non-tipping wine coolers by Toadfish.
Don’t forget to add this Daybreaker chair by Trippy Outdoor to make the outdoor experience even better.
If mom loves spending time hitting the trails, these water and stain-repellent pants by Columbia are a must.

🖼️ The art collector

Add to mom’s art collection with pieces featuring dramatic skies, panoramic mountain vistas, and small-town area street scenes by Jeff Pittman Art.
For coastal vibes, explore colorful artwork by Dream a Little ART SC.
If the walls are already full of beautiful art, fear not. This modern ceramic vase is the perfect decorative accent. Bonus: this vibrant coffee table book is chock-full of exquisite scenes from Mykonos.

👗 The fashion lover

Add to your mom’s jewelry collection with these gate arches earrings by Cori Rose Jewelry, which pair perfectly with sarongs from Honeyluv Designs LLC.

While this list is a great way to start shopping for mom, we’re working to grow our store, Six and Main, and would love to add more local vendors. If you know any local brands we should be promoting, let us know.

Wait, there’s more... Click the button below to explore presents for mothers who love home decor, snacks, beverages, and more.

Keep shopping for mom

The Wrap

Today’s edition by:
Rebecca

From the editor

My niece Finley recently turned three and one of her favorite places to explore is the library.

Naturally, I had to renew my card to help her check out books + take advantage of the plethora of resources our library system has to offer. I think my favorite perk is the botanic garden passes, but Finley says she “loves story time and the play area.” Be sure to explore the other programs and activities the library has to offer.
