Top 5 Christmas Gifts for Mom
1) Intermediate Bowery Loopy Cowl Knit Kit
Third Piece: Intermediate Bowery Loopy Cowl Knit Kit - Kit without needles - Wisteria
2) Reverse Open Drip-Proof Umbrella
The KAZbrella reverse umbrella keeps you dry from rain showers and rain drops alike. Its patented reverse-folding mechanism means this umbrella works upside down to trap water inside a double canopy and avoid unwanted splashes and drips. This also makes it easier to get into cars and through doors without splashing yourself (or anyone else). The umbrella is also designed to stay intact in the face of wind and it won’t blow inside-out.
3) Zoe Mini Jewelry Case
A double take might be necessary with this jewelry travel case. Not only is the Zoe cute, but it’s super useful—with a mesh flap for your earrings, a ring holder, and a velvet pillow cushion that keeps necklaces, watches, and bracelets untangled. You’ll be surprised at how much you can fit when your case is organized. It’ll add a touch of smart style to your day-to-day.
4) Flat Circle Candle
The Austrian Atelier: Flat Circle Candle - Slate Gray
5) No-Spill Aerating Wine Glass
A spill-proof wine glass that looks as good as it is enjoyable to sip from. Each glass spins on a stainless steel ball, aerating wine—sip by sip—without spilling a drop. (It looks pretty cool, too.) Want to slow things down? Oak coasters hold a glass upright and still. Made in the USA.
