Mother’s Day Gift Ideas for the Woman Who Does It All (in Heels)
Before I opened a boutique, I had the best style inspo a girl could ask for — my mom. She was the queen of fashion in our family. Case in point? This photo of us at a Barney Birthday Brunch (mimosas included). I was there for the waffles, but she showed up looking amazing, like she always did.
She still has a way of making everything look easy — getting ready for brunch, showing up to church, running errands, working hard, and still somehow making time for everyone else. And now, as a business owner and woman in her own “busy” era, I realize just how much she really did — and how much she shaped me.
If you’re lucky enough to celebrate a mom (or mom figure) this year, here are a few gift ideas she’ll actually use — and love.
1. Dresses for Mother’s Day Brunch & Beyond
Whether she’s headed to brunch, church, or just wants something new for spring, a flattering midi dress or easy wrap style is always a win. Our boutique collection is full of pieces that are comfy, stylish, and mom-approved.
2. Jewelry That Feels Like Her
From delicate gold chains to bold earrings, jewelry is a beautiful way to say, “I see you.” Choose a piece that fits her style — or let her pick with a gift card.
We carry two of our favorite lines that are actually made to last:
Ellie Vail – Stainless steel, tarnish-resistant, and sweat-proof (yes, even during a North Dakota summer).
Kinsey Designs – Gold-filled, beautifully crafted, and built for daily wear.
These are the kind of pieces she’ll reach for over and over again — just like you do with her advice.
3. Layers She’ll Love
Spring in North Dakota means layers are always a good idea. We’ve got lightweight cardigans, cozy knits, and relaxed shackets she can throw on over anything.
4. Candles That Smell Like Mom (in the best way)
You can’t go wrong with a candle — especially the Capri Blue Volcano scent. It’s bright, citrusy, and totally unforgettable. We carry this cult-favorite candle in beautiful jars she’ll want to keep long after it’s burned down.
5. Apricot Lane Gift Cards (with a Twist)
Not sure what she’d love most? Let her decide! Pair a gift card with a Volcano candle or make it a full-on mom-daughter shopping date and create a memory.
