Gifts For Her

Gifts For Her

There’s still time to get the perfect gift for Mother’s Day or send something special to your child’s favorite teacher. Maybe you have a friend needing a little pick me up after several weeks of being inside. Here are a few ideas we think she’s going to love:

Multi-purpose cleaner and deodorizer from Nest Fragrances.

Lusso in Clayton now offers Nest’s line of multi-purpose cleaners and deodorizers. Enjoy a clean home and the fresh smell when the work is done! (Psst guys: Don’t forget to help her when it’s cleaning time!)

Protect her during screen time!

For the mom juggling many hats across a variety of screens (zoom school, work, personal emails) a pair of Izipizi Screen Glasses is a thoughtful and practical Mother's Day gift or something special for teachers this year. These screen glasses protect eyes, improving screen-glare related fatigue and eye irritation. Available in multiple sizes, shapes and colors. Izipizi Screen Glasses

For the writer, artist or list maker!

Common Modern's Ginko Pop Notebook, with its hand drawn Ginko leaves in bold and unexpected colors that pop, make the perfect gift for the writer, artist or to-do list maker in your life. 

Don’t forget to order the flowers to go with these special shears!

The garden and flower lover will think these Koryu scissors are true perfection. April showers have definitely brought May flowers, and for the woman who loves to garden or create arrangements indoors, these Japanese flower scissors are the bomb! The blades, set at an acute angle, easily cut flowers without crushing the plant fiber, allowing for better absorption n of water which in turn lengthens the life of the flower. Just don’t forget to give flowers with the gift!




These tea lights can be used for a romantic dinner or a late night bath.

Set the table for her with Skultana's Kin Tealight or draw a bath for her to unwind and leave these around the tub. A perfect tabletop addition to your Mother’s Day meal or an enhancement for the end of the day routine. We love the milk bath soak from K. Hall Designs.
