Painted Wood Earrings from Audra Style
Handmade Art Earrings
For the Boho, soulful one-of-a-kind mom who loves color and turns accessorizing in a true art, browse the eclectic artisan-made styles of whimsical and unique lightweight, nickel-free pierced earrings by Audra Style ($14 -$48). I just love wearing the pair of statement Instagram-worthy flower wood dangle earrings you see here, which go perfectly with my favorite spring dress and always get compliments. I'm also enjoying the fun pair of Audra Pink Flamingo Earrings I wore to my daughter's Elvis wedding in Las Vegas. What's more is I just can't wear the brand's pretty, intricately designed Bunny Rabbit Post Earrings enough.
The North Carolina artist transforms wood, leather, acrylic, and brass cut shapes into conversation-starter earrings featuring a mix of signature prints and patterns from her original artwork as well as other pieces of fashion jewelry, art and home decor items. Set aside some time to look through the Audra Style Spring Collection, no two items are identical and you'll find what seems like an almost endless array of styles and designs to choose from.

Re:Treat Carry On Luggage from Solo New York
Carry On Luggage
Every mom with travel lust who is looking forward to traveling again post-pandemic soon, needs a good carryon roller bag for her jetset lifestyle. The Solo New York Re:Treat Carry On Rolling Bag the brand sent me checks off all the boxes for frequent traveling moms. Made with eco-friendly heather gray material crafted from recycled PET bottles, it's well-designed, compact with telescoping handle, sturdy, lightweight and stylish. I also like that this affordable overnight bag has a generous number of interior and exterior storage pockets to help her stay organized on the go. If it's in your budget, here's another idea to take this gift to the next level. When you gift this bag to her, why not surprise mom and add a handwritten note offering her a dream trip of a lifetime to see the tulips bloom next spring in Amsterdam?

Revive Face Moisturizer from Hulsa Wellness
Organic Face Moisturizer With CBD
Whether she's a new mother, a grandma or somewhere in between, every mom is beautiful. All the more reason for her to use a daily hydrating facial moisturizer to keep her face and neck looking as pliable and vibrant as fresh roses. As a mother of 20-something kids myself, keeping dryness, fine lines and crows feet at bay are a top priority. So I was glad to have an opportunity to try Hulsa Revive Face Moisturizer ($99) made with 500 mg Critical Cannabinoids CBD per bottle and scented with a refreshing, but light honey and cucumber aroma. This beauty product, as well as the brand's other plant-based offerings, are made with proprietary formulas using organic hemp and other organic ingredients grown in the USA; they're also cruelty-free with no animal testing. Refer to the Hulsa Wellness site for their FDA disclosure and more information. Also remember: CBD products are intended for customers ages 21+ only.
