29 Items You Can Buy Mom Now, and “Borrow” From Her Later
Honestly, I'm surprised my mom hasn't had me arrested for all the jewelry, makeup, and sweaters I've obtained from her closet over the years. Especially that jewelry box of hers—it has been a regular victim of my blatant robberies. I have a soft spot for vintage pieces and love the idea of wearing something of hers from back in the day. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!
Truthfully, I don't discriminate against anything she has, which is why, after all these years, I thought it was time to give back to her collection. These gift ideas—from clothes and beauty products to home goods—are really good; so good that you'll inevitably want to "borrow" them down the road. Call me selfish. I don't care, and clearly, my mom doesn't either. Whether you're shopping for your mom, grandma, or any other superwoman in your life, these items will make you both—ahem, them—happy.
Trust me when I say your mom (and her skin) will be forever grateful for this skincare duo. (We've talked a lot about these powerful products before.)
