Top 5 Picks for Mother's Day Gifts



With Mother's Day around the corner, it's a no-brainer to share with you my top picks for Mother's Day. I'm a mother of three very active children and even though I have these items below in my possession, that doesn't mean I don't need more Vera Bradley! Especially number one and number 5! I hope my husband is reading this....


Please note on all of these, take extra care to look at her wardrobe and/or décor. Know her favorite colors! Vera Bradley comes in all colors of the rainbow and then some! She will definitely appreciate that extra touch if you get her something in her favorite colors.


  1. Vera Bradley Zip ID Case with Gift Card (or Car Key) – This also makes for a great teacher's gift! Vera Bradley Zip ID Cases retail for $12, or you can pick up a Disney Vera Bradley one for $15. In the clear ID window, simply insert a gift card to her favorite store, Starbucks, spa... the possibilities are endless! If you want to step it up a notch even further, attach the key to her new car to the handy silver logo key ring and REALLY surprise her!


  1. Vera Bradley Hipster – This is a crossbody bag, so it's perfect for busy moms to keep their hands free! There are lots of Vera Bradley crossbody bags, but this one is the classic Vera Bradley bag. They retail for $60, but you can find them in retired colors for less if that's a bit salty for you. They are lightweight and have adjustable straps, which make it a good choice for moms who have neck, shoulder, and/or back pain. They are great for errand-running, shopping, taking to the ballpark, etc. Make her life easier with a Hipster!


  1. Vera Bradley Preppy Poly Bags – Really any bag in this line will work. Preppy Poly is lightweight and water proof. I personally use my Preppy Poly Tote as a diaper bag for the gym and church. Kids spill all sort of things, and this material will let Mom worry less about that happening. The material is easy to spot clean and very durable. Preppy Poly comes in lots of colors and select patterns. The purses start from $50 on sale to $158 retail, but you can also often find these cheaper on Vera Bradley's eBay store. I paid around $30 for my generous sized Tote there.


  1. Vera Bradley Throw and Book – This one comes with a warning. Throws ARE ADDICTIVE! Vera Bradley throws are very popular and famous for their softness. The colors are eye-popping and fade-resistant. You will want one, two, or three for yourself! My husband sleeps with at least two of them every night. Regular sized throws range from $24-$49 and the extra large throws start at $40 on eBay. Now if she's going to curl up with a comfy throw, you need to get her the new book by the cofounder of Vera Bradley, Barbara Bradley Baekgaard, “A Colorful Way of Living.” Don't cheat her and get the Kindle version, this book pops with color! The best price is on Amazon for $17.24. It's an easy, fun read, and very inspirational.

  1. Vera Bradley Weekender – If you really want to wow over your special lady, get her a Weekender to surprise her with a weekend getaway! (That's if you didn't wow her with a new car already, but there's room for both!) The Weekender is a great bag for those quick trips. It has a sturdy base, rolled handles, and a removable strap. In my opinion, it's easy to carry than the Large Duffel. It retails for $98, but, again, you can get it cheaper if the pattern is retired.  As a Mom, I couldn't tell you how utterly happy I would be if I got a weekend getaway! It doesn't have to be expensive, a couple of nights in a hotel away from the kids already sounds like heaven! Sleeping at night, lounging around, eating HOT meals, catching up on ME time... wow. I'm really hoping my husband reads this!
