Mother’s Day is approaching! This year the holiday falls on May 10, which is right around the corner. You know what that means: It’s time to order the Jewish mom in your life a present!
Last year, the Kveller editors got together to make a list of what we’d really want for Mother’s Day, and honestly, every item on that list is still very much an awesome present.
This year, we have a list based on the interests of the mom in your life. A crafter, a balaboosta, a voracious reader or a mah jongg die-hard? We’ve got something for everyone!
Here are 18 gifts that the moms in your life are sure to love.
Can we ask? Keep Jewish joy accessible to all. Reader donations help us do just that. Can you help us meet our year-end goals? (We'll love you forever.)
For the mom with Jewish pride
The most joyful Star of David necklace you'll ever meet.
A great necklace for any mom of 1-3 kids who loves silver. You can customize this pretty key, which has "ahava," the Hebrew word for "love" on it, with up to three initials and a special gem.
For the nosher and cook
For the Jewish mom who needs a new container for her sewing or embroidery material (bonus, get her a Jewish cross stitch kit to go along with it).
"Zariz" by Adeena Sussman
Adeena Sussman's new book promises "100 easy, breezy, Tel Aviv-y recipes" and I'm definitely sold. Perfect for the Jewish mom who wants to spend less time in the kitchen and more quality time just eating and enjoying things with her family.
For the Mahj loving mom
Print out a great family picture and put it in this frame to remind her of her two biggest loves: her family and mah jongg.
Invite that special mom in your life to join Kveller and a group of awesome mahj players at the Museum of Jewish Heritage this June!
Here at Kveller, we are very much partial to socks as gifts.
For the superstitious mom
Fill this cup with her favorite drink, to both protect and distract her from the evil eye!
The prettiest evil eye candle I've ever seen.
A little ring for constant protection.
For the voracious reader
This novel from bestselling author Judy Batalion tells the story of two very different Jewish women in 1930s Poland and the ways their lives collide.
Set in late 1970s New Jersey, this novel is about a Jewish woman whose old dreams get reignited when she's approached by a bestselling author.
A friends-to-lover romance about a matchmaker and NYC's most eligible Jewish bachelor.
For the crafty mom
For the mom who is super into — or always wanted to get into — needlepoint.
For the balaboosta
I love the idea of bringing this instead of — or even with — flowers and a bigger gift! A bouquet that will live on her fridge forever.
Oy, so much to do indeed! Give her this notepad with some flowers and a treat, and take off a thing or two or five from her to-do list, why don't you?
