A GIFT GUIDE FOR FED UP & FIRED UP MOTHERS
This Mother’s Day, paid family leave, maternal health, and affordable childcare for all are the items at the top of our wishlists.
But since the internet is a tizzy with Mother’s Day Gift guides, we’ve put together our hot takes on what moms really want. And since Chamber of Mothers exists as a collective of real voices of motherhood, we’ve consulted with some of the most iconic moms we know to curate the ultimate Mother’s Day gift guide.
The greatest gift at all would be for all mothers, supporters, and family advocates to JOIN US.
If you’re feeling fed up and fired up like we are, spread the word, subscribe to our newsletter, and join a local chapter meeting to exchange insights, resources, and craft actionable plans to advance maternal rights.
Want one more idea? Our partner Baked by Melissa is offering 10% off your Mother’s Day purchase when you use code: MOTHERS10. $5 from every Mother’s Day gift box sold will be donated to Chamber of Mothers.
SIGGI BENNETT, CONTENT CREATOR & CEO OF THE BENNETT HOUSEHOLD
Being a native Californian, I start to get a little antsy if it’s been too long since I swam in the ocean. It’s always leaves me with a sense of renewed energy. We visited Barbados as a family in 2019, and I have the fondest memories from that trip. The water was calm and crystal clear, and the people were so kind!
FROM DESHI SINGH, BOARD CHAIR OF CHAMBER OF MOTHERS
- These Dear Annabelle notecards are top quality and I love supporting a woman owned business
- I was gifted the REN Rose Body Polish from a friend after the birth of my third child and I keep buying more.
- This AMBRE candle is perfect for the mom who needs a good night sleep
- These IKEA paints are perfect for when I want to get my hands dirty and do a craft with my kids

EMILY OSTER, ECONOMIST & MOM OF 2
A kindle pre-loaded with three Emily Henry books, and 2 hours undisturbed in a coffee shop.
- Funny Story by Emily Henry
- Happy Place by Emily Henry
- Book Lovers by Emily Henry
Sometimes, you just need a reset and an escape. Emily Henry’s books are perfect for this, and a Kindle ensures that if romance isn’t your jam, you can find something else.
FROM ERIN ERENBERG, CO-FOUNDER & EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AT CHAMBER OF MOTHERS
- As a lead fundraiser for Chamber of Mothers – I can’t emphasize how helpful general unrestricted operational funding and words of encouragement are 🫶
- Hotel night alone with zero childcare prep requirements and a smooth reintegration upon return.
- Art Life Practices has the best watercolor, vision board, and drawing kits for adults complete with chic and handy packaging (for stowing in a duffle for the hotel room night(s) we all need alone).
FROM RACHEL NICKS, CEO/FOUNDER OF BIRTH QUEEN & MOTHER OF 2
Time alone is what I crave and would love to gift all mothers on Mother’s Day. Space and time to fill your cup and check in, breathe 
A lil’ splurge with be a mama necklace and my boys names on a necklace or bracelet.

Needs a little hormonal harmony: Rootless is the seaweed superfood you didn’t know you needed.

CHARLEE ATKINS, FOUNDER OF LE SWEAT & LE BABA
This nursing pillow has been a lifesaver and as a new mom and I am living in this Monica and Andy robe.
TARA RYAN, CHAMBER OF MOTHERS, MOM OF 1
They are pricey, but I’m obsessed with this new collab between Big Time Adulting & K Kane designed to remind you every day that YOU matter. Between the sentiment behind this collab and the fact that Katherine Kane underwent 9 rounds of IVF before having her child makes this extra special for me.
I feel like I’m in a constant state of making decisions and decision fatigue as a mom is a real thing. I want a weekend of no decisions for Mothers Day. A weekend where as Eve Rodsky would say, the CPE (conception, plan, execution) is handled FULLY by my partner. What we’re doing, what we’re eating, if we’re going somewhere, what we’re wearing – all of it decided for me 😉. My body relaxed just thinking about this!
LATHAM THOMAS, FOUNDER OF MAMA GLOW & MAMA GLOW FOUNDATION
We love the light and sound machines and often use them at the Soft Space, our new wellness oasis in Williamsburg, to set the vibes with serene lighting and calming soundtracks.
RAENA BOSTON, FOUNDING MOTHER AT CHAMBER OF MOTHERS, DEPUTY DIRECTOR & MOM OF 3
- I’m infamous for my love of big hoops. These from Ettika are delicate but still give the hoop energy that I love.
- I’d love time at Miraval for Mother’s Day!
JAYCINA ALMOND, FOUNDER OF TENDER & MODEL, MOM OF 1
What I want for Mother’s Day is a bit outrageous – it’s been in my amazon “saved for later” for a while, but I swear it would just make my life easier! Our dog is 110 pounds with severe allergies so the shedding is nonstop and I feel like this is something I need!
