How is it that Sunday Mother’s Day already? If you’re anything like MP, you’re shopping for a thoughtful gift just a few days before. Here are a few local favorites:
Signature Westport Leather Clutch
This clutch has a few good things going for it. First, MP loves this bag for its simple, classic style. The interior is deep, making it easy to store your wallet, makeup and a few additional essentials inside. And the best part? There’s a handy, zipper storage compartment on the outside of the bag for your cell phone.
Westbrook-based designer Erin Flett is known for her memorable prints and patterns. Her makeup bags are great for stylish travel. Daytrip Society in Kennebunkport offers a variety of cool prints and colors, too.
Indian Meadow Herbals Organic Skin Care
MP had the chance to sample the Wild Blueberry Eye Cream from this Maine-based company, and loved its smooth texture and light scent. Most importantly, this organic cream is gentle on her sensitive skin. Due to the high-quality of the ingredients, the cream is a bit of a splurge, but a treat for a special Mom.
Let’s face it, Wellie’s are a springtime must have in Maine. MP loves these cute, ankle-length boots for their versatility. They’re ideal for short, neighborhood walks with the dog or wearing to the office when the weather isn’t cooperating.
These pretty, 18K gold plated, cuff-style bracelets are made in Falmouth. MP likes them for their simplicity and easy, adjustable style. You can wear the bracelet alone or with other pieces.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful mamas out there!
P.S. Homemade gifts for little ones to make. Plus, thoughtful Mother’s Day cards.
