10 + Great Gift Ideas For Mother’s Day 2021
Mother’s Day (Sunday, May 9) is just a few weeks away, and we know that you’re already brainstorming gift ideas- especially since many of us may be celebrating remotely. Whether you’re shopping for your own mother, a sibling, a friend, or a mother figure in your life or community, Mother’s Day is a chance to offer a token of gratitude for all of the unseen, unheard labor that goes into motherhood.
And of course, because we are who we are, we’ve taken the extra step to bring you a list of items created by Black-owned businesses from rest and body care tools to, jewelry, art and life-coaching (a lot of them created and owned by people who are mothers themselves).
