What does Mother’s Day mean to you? As I look back on the last 16 months as a mom (and 31 years as a daughter) since I started celebrating Mother’s Day, there’s been an evolution. When we’re little, we make handmade cards, buy little gifts with our allowance, and show appreciation for the special ladies who either brought us into this world, or who we consider as close to mothers as possible, though we don’t always really understand the significance. As we grow and become mothers ourselves, we really get to take in the gravity and importance of the roles we play in our children’s lives and the roles our own moms had in ours. Although my mom’s not around anymore to watch me as a mom, I know she’d be proud, and I try to instill in my own daughter all the things she taught me, even if I didn’t realize at the time she was teaching me anything. Being a mom may be a thankless job sometimes, but it’s arguably the most important one there is.
I’ve met so many incredible business owners since starting cuteheads, and I’m honored to feature some of their beautiful products in a little handmade gift guide, curated especially for Mother’s Day. It’s full of jewelry, clothing, decor and more, and your special someone is bound to find something for you among the goodies listed here. There’s something for everyone.
