Last week, I featured a Mother's Day gift guide with gift ideas for our own mothers. But I've gotten emails from husbands asking for gift ideas for their wives, since they want to honor the mothers of their own children. How sweet is that sentiment? So, here are four Mother's Day ideas for new mothers...
Mother's Day is Sunday, May 13th--about two weeks away! Here are 10 gifts she'll love...
A mug to make her laugh, $14.
Brunch cooking class in Brooklyn, celebrated on Mother's Day. $125/person.
Plant topper, to fill her bedroom with light and rainbows, $140.
Morse code bracelet that spells out "mom," $40.
Fondue pot filled with chocolate, $20, plus a basket of strawberries. Made in Paris, naturellement.
Your favorite childhood photo sent to her in a silver frame, $28, to remind her that you'll always be her baby. (Get 10% off any Pinhole Press order with the code CUPOFJO.) P.S. That's my mom, my twin sister and me above:)
Friendship earrings--one for you and one for her. $55.
Field of Grass soy candle, to transport her to freshly cut grass in the countryside, among daisies, beneath the sun. $20.
An astrology reading, because how fun is that?! And lunch afterward to talk about it all.
Two tickets to the new Marilyn Monroe movie (to which you sneak in mini bottles of Champagne with straws, since that's what Marilyn would do).
MoroccanOil Treatment to keep her hair smooth and silky all winter. (I swear by this; it's magic.) $12.55.

2012 subscription to Martha Stewart Living. The new editor-in-chief Pilar Guzman (formerly of Cookie Magazine) has amaaaazing ideas. Excited to see what's in store. $24.
