Mother’s Day is just around the corner and it’s a very difficult day for me having lost my beloved mother two years ago. However, I’m lucky that it’s still a special occasion for me and my girls – they love it – and I’m learning to love it in a different way.
If you’re looking for gifts from Jewish + Israeli-owned businesses that surprise, delight, and just “get” her — all without breaking the bank, here are my top recs!
PS Every gift idea comes with a discount code or BOGOF!
Jewish Joy Journal
Part gratitude journal, part goal planner, part non-judgmental Jewish BFF, this bestselling gratitude journal for Jewish women will fill your mom’s life with daily joy, purpose, and nourishing Jewish values. Just five minutes a day with this will have her feeling happier and more resilient.
The plumping night mask that keeps going viral…
Just one night with this collagen-promoting night mask and your mom will be completely hooked. Each dollop is rich in FRÉ’s patent Argania Active Complex™ to fight premature aging and repair UV damage, and packed with peptides to firm and plump skin. PRO TIP: a little goes a long way, so you can be sure it’ll last her a while.
A shimmering, multi-faceted glistening Star of David
Handmade in NYC by Susan Alexandra, this is a piece she’ll want to wear forever, then pass down to your kids and grandkids. What’s a little splurge for a family heirloom?
Clean skincare from a cult (Israeli-owned!) brand
Tried and tested by me (couldn’t live without), this power couple is the best way to protect skin from UV rays, fight aging and repair skin damage, all whilst enjoying dewy, natural looking coverage.
The Vitamin C serum has reduced my pigmentation, and made my skin look and feel younger, brighter and smoother. I now understand why it’s sold out multiple times.
A bracelet that will never go out of style
Handcrafted in either silver, gold or rose gold, this Ima (Mom) bracelet is an adorable piece for the Jewish mother or mother figure in your life.
Whether you’re shopping for your ima, mamalah, balebuste, bubbe, savta, or grandma, I know she’ll love these gifts that say, “Thank you for making enough matzah ball soup to feed a small army every time I visit.“
