Mother’s Day is next Sunday, May 14th! Thankfully, this Super Six will solve all of your problems regarding what to get that special lady. I’ve done the homework. Here we go…
- Old Navy Relaxed Vintage Sweatshirt – I think it’s officially the summer of the flamingo (as opposed to 2016, when it was the pineapple). The applique on this (very soft) sweatshirt is a chenille type fabric which makes it seem more expensive than the $25 price tag. Perfect weight for chilly beach evenings. Grab one for Mom here: http://oldnvy.me/2phydf6
- Rungolee Tassel Sandals – Mark your calendar for an amazing trunk show at No.109 Shop featuring resort wear, blouses, dresses, and these gorgeous shoes on Thursday, May 11th from 6-8pm and again on Friday, May 12th from 10-3pm. You can’t beat a metallic sandal for the spring/summer. Dressed up or worn casually, Mom will reach for them all season long. 109 W. State Street, Kennett Square.
- Lip Sense – How many times a day do you reapply lipstick? I have never officially counted, but, I would guess no less than 5 times. What if I told you that you could put on your lip color in the morning and it would still be visible hours later? I was lucky to be given the opportunity to try Lip Sense, a color and gloss system that is kiss proof, water proof, and smudge proof. There are a TON of colors. I tried a very neutral shade called Bombshell and love it. It makes a great gift for Mom! Interested in learning more? Contact Amber Shader at (302)-562-8976 or by joining her Facebook Group first & little LIPS.
- Platinum Initial Charms – If you want to be the #1 child in your mother’s eyes (or the BEST HUSBAND EVER), then a necklace complete with the initials of her kids would be the ultimate Mother’s Day gift. A few weeks ago, I wrote about fine jewelry designer Alexis Kletjian and her incredible collection. So, naturally I had to include a bauble in my Super Six. Peruse the fabulousness of her website here: https://www.alexiskletjian.com/
- Clare Vivier Navy Woven Tote – I love to switch up my handbag when the season changes and this one is at the top of my list for Summer 2017. The color is a beautiful “nautical neutral” that will go with everything. I am obsessed with the shape and size and the fact that it can be worn cross-body. Perfection.

- By Terry Glow-Expert Duo Stick – The ladies at Houppette (101 W. State Street, Kennett Square) always help me pick out the latest and greatest make-up must haves. This blush-bronzer-highlighter in one is my new favorite product. Apply it on the cheeks, chin, nose, forehead, and eyebrow arch for a flawless glow. It enhances your facial features and imparts a healthy, natural luminosity. Mom needs one!
There you have it! Now, in addition to a fantastic present, don’t forget to include a card detailing all of the wonderful things you appreciate about Mom. She’ll remember that sentiment most of all (even though my suggestions are rather stellar).
Happy Weekend
