Flowers are beautiful, but short lived. Why not give mom a gift that lasts? The Sill has plenty of options, and even a filter to choose a plant for the less experienced among us! So, don't worry if mom doesn't exactly have a green thumb! Did we mention how much we love their beautiful pots?

4. Simple Comfort - Women's Tree Runners by Allbirds

If you truly want to give your mom the most comfortable shoe she will ever wear, look no further than Allbirds. The women's Tree Runner shoe is made from responsibly sourced eucalyptus tree fiber threads (how cool is that?). Your mom, and her feet, will thank you for this. 

5. For the Love of Chocolate - Chocolate Library Gift Box from Raaka

Raaka's Chocolate Library Gift Box includes 8 chocolate bars from their current collection (which is all certified organic, gluten, dairy, and soy free). With choices like Maple & Nibs, Bourbon Cask Aged, Bananas Foster, Green Tea Crunch... OK, we can't continue, it's too good. Treat mom (and, likely, yourself as well) to a seriously amazing selection of chocolate.

A good salt can make or break a good dish (and wait until you try chocolate chip cookies topped with a sprinkle of this)! This salt comes straight from the cold water off the coast of Maine where it is filtered and solar dried. It's beautiful, tasty, and a great gift for the mom who loves cooking.
