Shopping season has arrived and while we know there are TONS of options you have when it comes to your purchasing power – we wanted to share some items on our own Chamber of Mothers wish lists and shopping carts.
Gifts we love to give:
“This custom A, B, C board book is the BEST Etsy gift. You can take pictures of things that are meaningful to you/your family to represent each of the letters, or — if you’re feeling energetic — it makes a great teacher gift with each of the kids in class contributing a drawing for each of the letters. I made one once for a baby gift for a teacher who was going on maternity leave.”
Lauren Smith Brody, Founding Mother
“Kate’s books reflect powerful, dynamic identities back to the children who read them. Her photography and empowering language are a form of resistance against consumer culture that’s constantly suggesting we need to be something other than who we are.”
Erin Erenberg, Founding Mother
“I love to give a fun and fabulous mommy & me gift, especially from Terez. The company embodies all things good – positive messaging, bright colors, feel-good prints, etc. All Terez products are founded and made in NYC.”
Deshi Singh, Board Member
“Listen, I wish I could sit and hold my baby all day long, but that would mean my toddler and house would be neglected. This carrier gives me the best of both worlds and I love the breathable material.”
BEST GIFT FOR ANY MOM WHO NEEDS TWO HANDS
“These slippers are SO cozy yet keep your feet comfortable all year round. I’ve had mine for 3 years and am finally getting a new pair this year.”
Cait Zogby
“I don’t know why but this stupid little light that turns on by turning it over (no switch) made me so happy (still does!).”
Molly McDermott Walsh
Gifts we’d love to get:
“On my wish list. I have one in green that I use daily.”
Raena Boston
“I would love to receive the Alexa Leigh Initial Chain Necklace with my boys initials. Alexa Leigh is a mom-founded jewelry brand with pieces that can survive the demands of daily life with littles. The founder is a wonderful, kind, creative, and supportive human, and has the three most adorable children. She also has really great taste in just about everything.”
Deshi Singh, Founding Mother
A skin enhanser, hydrator, and something that will hide fine lines and wrinkles? Sounds like the perfect stocking stuffer to us!
Blurring & Moisturizing Primer
“A gift card to Framebridge. Doing some organizing recently, I found a yarn and cardboard lanyard that my son’s preschool teacher made for him years ago declaring him the Mayor of Chicken Nugget Land. I would LOVE to have it framed, and maybe my older son’s giraffe lovey, too. They may be out of the baby years, but some things we’re never getting rid of! Framebridge is awesome for creative treatments of 3D items.”
Lauren Smith Brody, Founding Mother
“Stop scrolling the baby shower registry and just get this. It’s an absolute must-give for any new mom!”
Kelsey Haywood Lucas & Cassie Shortsleeve
“Founder Rachelle Hruska began stitching to combat a postpartum mood disorder and has been using her fashion brand to make positive change ever since.”
Erin Erenberg. Founding Mother
