The Checklist
Mother's Day Gift Guide
It's a different kind of Mother's Day this year.
The spread of covid-19 is delivering an outpouring of loss, discomfort and messages. Among them is our reverberating need for mother energy, both individually and collectively. In a recent interview, Elizabeth Gilbert described this sacred energy as the voice that says,
I don't care if you totally fail, I don't care if you lose everything. I'll be with you, I've got you. You can tell me the truth, there will be no punishment for it. I've got you and I'll be right here with you no matter what happens. You cannot fail because I love you. You cannot make a mistake because you are precious to me. There's nothing you can do that will scare me because I've seen this shit and I've sat with it.
The person who most embodies this voice for you may be your own mother, another caregiver or (maybe most importantly) yourself. Whoever this person is for you, here is our roundup of gift ideas to celebrate them. All of our suggestions are best enjoyed at home and, as always, every item featured was consciously created or co-created by a woman.
