The Kiburi Sandals from MBT are made from genuine soft sheep leather, making them durable enough to survive long walks, the elements, and years of use. Its three adjustable straps offer a customizable fit and MBT's signature permorfance rocker rubber outsole provides traction and a relaxing walking experience so mom will have no worries going about her day.

For the jetsetter mom who loves to stay on top of things, these Packing Cubes from local brand BASH are an ideal pick. The set of four includes the small, medium, large, and extra large cubes which can fit items of all sizes from cosmetics and toiletries to underwear and even several pieces of clothing. The packing cubes can also be bought individually, but we recommend getting the full set of four so mom has room for all her clothes and trip essentials. Take your pick from 10 different colors—we were drawn the the Mauve set which can still be lowkey neutral or just the right pop of color.

Level up mom's tablescaping game with Muradito Home's wares and accessories. The Misora Stonewares Collection from Muradito Home features plates and bowls inspired by serene skies—ideal for relaxed yet refined meals for the holidays and beyond.
