Mother’s Day Gift Guide: The Little Things That Make Life Sweeter

With time-savers, self-care favorites, and simple everyday joys I truly love.

Mother’s Day is just around the corner, and while flowers and cards (especially homemade ones from my boys) are always sweet, I wanted to share some things that have made my life a little easier, a lot more joyful, and—most importantly—freed up my most valuable resource: time.

Because if there’s one thing every mother wishes for, it’s just a little more time. Time to be present with our kids. Time to move our bodies. Time to cook nourishing meals (without spending hours in the kitchen). Time for ourselves.

This list is full of practical, pampering, and purposeful picks—everything from kitchen helpers and comfy clothes to wellness essentials and beauty treats. I hope they inspire your own Mother’s Day wishlist—or help you treat a special mama in your life. If you really want to splurge, you should come join me at Canyon Ranch in Lenox, Massachusetts, May 16- 19th!

Time-Saving Home + Kitchen Favorites

• Tineco Smart Vacuum Mop – Game changer for quick cleanups. It vacuums and mops at once—yes, really. I have turned my sister-in-law, niece, mom, and almost every other woman in my life on to this, and they’ve said it’s probably the best purchase they’ve ever made.

• Caraway Pans + Storage Set – Beautiful, non-toxic, and nonstick cookware that makes cooking feel like a gift. I love that these are healthy for us to use to cook with, and the organizational piece makes me so happy!

• Our Place Wonder Oven – A sleek countertop oven that air fries, toasts, bakes, and roasts. I’ve seen this one on social media, and I really just fell in love with it.

• COSARI Air Fryer – Perfect for quick, healthy meals (even picky eaters love what comes out of it). I like that you can use both compartments to cook things at the same time.

• The Beast Mighty Blender – Compact, powerful, and looks gorgeous on your counter. The easiest way I’ve found to make a smoothie without getting my big ninja blender out each time.

Self-Care That Feels Just Right

• Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer & Volumizer – Makes blowouts at home feel almost effortless. I am usually horrible with doing my own hair, and this has made it so easy.

• Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask – Hydrating, silky, and just a little luxurious. My nanny gave me this years ago, and I STILL have it. It lasts forever, and applying it before bed is one of my favorite nighttime rituals now.

• Colorscience Sunscreen – Lightweight, tinted protection I never leave the house without. A makeup artist friend introduced me to this, and it’s changed my life!

• Colorscience Eye Roller + Sunscreen Stick – Cooling, brightening, and perfect for on-the-go touch-ups. SO easy to use and feels amazing as you apply.

• Clean Skin Club Cleansing Towels – Ultra soft, disposable face towels that keep your skincare routine clean and travel-friendly.

• Further Food Collagen – Easy to stir into coffee or smoothies for glowing skin and joint support. The lemon flavor is great, you need to try my lemon cheesecake cups!

• Mind Body Green Creatine – One of the few supplements I use that I can really feel a difference with.

• Rebalance – A supplement I rely on for hormonal balance and energy support. On Mother’s Day, they are launching their new Menomints!

• Sakara Metabolism Bites – Tasty, nourishing, and feel like a treat with benefits. Use code KMMSAKARA for savings.

• Grüns Superfood Chews – Think multivitamins meets wellness gummy. I like them as my dessert each day after lunch. I’m kind of addicted to these bears!

Move, Flow, and Feel Good

• Liforme Yoga Mat – My all-time favorite for grip, durability, and beautiful design. I really love their emphasis on the environment as well.

• Vivo Barefoot Sneakers – Minimal, sustainable shoes that help you feel grounded and move naturally. I use these to strength train in and it’s actually made a huge difference in the way I engage my leg muscles.

• Spanx Faux Leather Leggings – Supportive, flattering, and chic enough to dress up. I like these when I have to run from yoga to a meeting or out with friends.

• Comfy & Cute Lounge Sets – Because yes, you can feel pulled together and cozy at the same time. At least I won’t show up at school drop off in my pjs!

Mindful Living

• The Five Minute Journal – A simple yet powerful daily habit to stay grounded, grateful, and focused. I journal every day after my morning meditation, and it’s made a HUGE difference.

• Hooga Red Light Therapy – A soothing, restorative tool for skin health, muscle recovery, and improving energy. A must-have for any wellness enthusiast looking to incorporate more mindful self-care. You can easily turn this on when you’re doing your morning and evening routine. I use my red light when I brush my teeth, wash my face, and/or put on makeup, etc.

• Bianyo Markers – Ideal for creative journaling, mindful doodling, and letting your creativity flow. Perfect for adding a little color to your self-care routine. These are perfect for your kids, too. The best markers I’ve found yet!

• Color Your Calm – A beautiful adult coloring book designed to soothe your mind and bring you peace. Ideal for de-stressing and tapping into your creative side. Anything that can help us unwind in a mindful way is the best. I also love doing puzzles and LEGO.

Of course, at the heart of Mother’s Day are the things you can’t buy: those spontaneous hugs, little handwritten notes, giggles from the back seat. But I think there’s something lovely about surrounding yourself with tools and treats that support the beautiful, busy life you’re living.

Wishing every mom a Mother’s Day full of love, light, and maybe a few new favorite things!
