I don’t know about you, but this Jewish mother could really use a treat.
Mother’s Day is coming up on May 11, and if you’re blanking on ideas for what to get the Jewish mom in your life, I personally advise getting multiple offerings, maybe putting them in a nice basket, making her a card (it doesn’t have to be beautiful, just has to be full of flattery) and then also maybe leaving them by her door and leaving her alone for the next 24 hours.
Anyway, here are some treats we at Kveller think the Jewish mom in your life might like.
A pair of Kiziks
All the moms on the Kveller staff now have these slip-on shoes, and they're honestly game changers.
This book of poems is so moving and beautifully illustrated and just really gets what parenting young children is all about.
Sorry, but I don't think there's a better gift than fresh peaches.
Warding off the evil eye has never felt more colorful and joyful!
Pickle hair clip
I would like to put my messy mom bun up with this pickle hair clip, please and thank you.
If you know a mom in your life who loved "We Were the Lucky Ones," she needs this book. This is the gift I would give my mom if it were translated into Hebrew.
A unique an oh-so-pretty way to keep our kids' names close to our hearts.
For the mah jongg loving mom or bubbe in your life!
A subscription to IZZY
If the mom in your life loved "Shtisel," then send her to IZZY to watch its prequel, "Kugel," along with a bunch of other great Israeli TV.
These are so comfy, so warm and so stylish. For the mom who always tells you to take a sweater with you but also obviously needs one herself.
For the person in your life with that excellent yenta energy who totally owns it!
If someone gave me this pin I would wear it everyday for the rest of time. For the parent of valor in your life!
Ina Garten may not be a Jewish mom, but she is also everybody's Jewish mom. I know you get it — she just helps bring comfort and joy and wisdom to our life at every turn.
For the mother who brings Jewish joy to every event. Be sure to stuff this one with goodies! (And yes, this is on the list because the founder of Kate Spade was Jewish).
Sometimes all that mom (and Stanley Tucci) needs is that good ol' Jewish comfort food.
If Jewish deli food is a little much, a straight infusion of carbs is just as joyful.
Jewish Mom Mug (Etsy)
The perfect schmaltz-y gift is, as we all know, a sentimental mug. I don't see any lies on this mug.
A beautiful print of a shakshuka, for the mom who loves the most perfect brunch dish of all time.
A heartwarming book about a Jewish grandmother and her granddaughter that's a perfect distaction.
For the mom who NEEDS her coffee. Just so you know, you are not legally allowed to gift this mug without some form of coffee supply to fill it with, and also a little nosh to go with it.
Take your mom to one of the best Jewish restaurants around without making her leave the house!
Along with an actual gift, I can't think of any Jewish mom who wouldn't want this.
