Mother's Day Quarantine Gift Guide
This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx.
Just because we're still home and in quarantine doesn't mean we can't do anything special for the mamas in our lives.
The month of May creeped up on us and Mother’s Day is just around the corner! I know that public places like the mall, stores, and restaurants are still closed so spending time with our moms can be quite tricky, but gifts are still a great way to make them feel special during these hard times. On top of a personal card, flowers, and a virtual hug via FaceTime, here are some gift ideas that will surely warm our mamas hearts.
Be sure to read through each category for special discounts!✨
FOR THE ACTIVE MAMA
G-SHOCK WOMEN WATCH FROM CASIO
I’ve shared the love for G-SHOCK Women’s Watches in the past and for good reason; they’re simply a reliable watch brand for women, or mamas who live an active lifestyle! This watch is tough, versatile, shock resistant, magnetic resistant, has 200M water resistance, has a stopwatch, daily alarms, LED light, World time, and more!
I am currently loving their new all-translucent line which features a transparent, see-through, clear band with a stunning Rose Gold metallic face that makes for the perfect accessory year-round! My specific model is the GMAS110SR-7A watch, and notice how it features both digital and analog-digital dials!
FOR THE WORKING MAMA
BLUE LIGHT BLOCKING GLASSES
Mamas who work from home are probably in front of their computer and phone screens all the time, so there’s no better gift to give them than blue light blocking glasses, and these ones from EyeBuyDirect look amazing! This specific style is called the Hepburn Frames in Clear.
In case you don’t already know, blue light that comes from our digital screens is harmful to our eyes and wearing blue light blocking glasses can help protect from digital eye strain, headaches and improve sleep quality!

FOR THE GLAM MAMA
ALL-IN-ONE MAKEUP PALETTE
My quarantined mamas still need to look and feel like glammed up queens so gift them this awesome All-In-One Palette and a Spin-On Lip Gloss from Woosh Beauty!
This natural makeup brand offers this genius Fold Out Face All-In-One palette that has everything you need for a full face of makeup: 4 eye shadows, 2 concealers, 2 contour powders, 2 blushes, 2 foundation powders 1 highlighter, and a 4-in-1 brush set! All you have to do is pick your shade! It’s the perfect palette for busy mamas who just want to look alive in 10 minutes! I’ve used and tested out the formulas and I am pretty impressed with how they performed! I even got compliments on my IG stories!
Quick review on the palette: The concealers were high-coverage, brightening and easy to blend! the warmer concealer cancels out the dark blues under the eyes, and the lighter shade brightens! The foundation powders look amazing on the skin! They evened out my skin tone and blurred out any imperfections without looking heavy or cakey. The contour shade in this palette is amazing! The blushes are very pigmented so use a light hand! the highlighter looks so soft on the skin which gives that beautiful glowing from within look. And though I’m not a huge fan of the eyeshadow shades, they did the job! I used the contour shade and highlighter for better blending on the eyes. Finally, the brushes are actually useable! This palette is a win!
I’ve never been a lip gloss kinda gal but the Spin-On Lip Gloss from Woosh Beauty might be an exception for me because I actually loved it! It feels incredibly lightweight, non-sticky, it felt hydrating on my lips, and it’s 100% vegan! It has a semi-sheer finish which I think is great to pair with any lip color! If I loved this lipgloss, your lipgloss-loving mamas will surely love it too!

LASH SERUM KIT
If you know of mamas who are currently in the early postpartum stage, the Lash-Fix It Kit from Grande Cosmetics will be a perfect gift for them! Mamas who are going through the rough postpartum recovery are most probably going through hair loss, and that includes the lashes! Trust me, I’m speaking from experience! Luckily, we live in a time where lash serums are available to us and they work!
The GrandeLASH-MD Lash Enhancing Serum is infused with conditioning vitamins, antioxidants, and amino acids that promotes longer and thicker-looking lashes! Results are visible in just 4-6 weeks of regular use! Just apply it as you would a liquid eyeliner!
The GrandeREPAIR Leave-in Lash Conditioner is infused with a biotin peptide that’s proven to help protect against lash fallout and breakage! Apply as you would a regular mascara.
This awesome combo is a lash-made-in-heaven (pun intended), and how cute is the packaging! You save $15 when you buy this kit!
FOR THE HOMEY MAMA
COCKTAIL GLASSES
For the mamas who love having guests over, cocktail glasses seem to be a perfect fit, even though she won’t be able to use them to entertain guests just yet. This High Ball Glass Herringbone by Ralph Lauren Crystal from Replacements.com are simply stunning! They’re definitely a conversation starter for future parties!
Replacements.com has a huge variety of barware that I’m sure you’ll find the perfect glasses for the mamas you’ll be gifting!

BOOKS
Books are always a great gift to give mamas who are homebodies and Drinking with Chickens: Free-Range Cocktails for the Happiest Hour by Kate E. Richards is a great addition to the cocktail glasses I just talked about! It’s a book filled with awesome cocktail recipes which are categorized by seasons, and stunning photos of chickens - yes, for real!
Another book suggestion is Sunrise on Half Moon Bay by Robyn Carr. It’s a feel-good women’s fiction novel from the author of the popular Netlix series, Virgin River which I personally loved! Although this book is not a love story, it’s a beautiful story about 2 sisters who learn to support each other despite their twenty-year age gap. You can buy this book from Barnes and Noble, Amazon, and Bookshop!
DIFFUSER
If your home doesn’t have a diffuser at this point in time, what are you doing? I feel like most houses have some sort of home fragrance mechanism and diffusers are the popular choice! But have you heard of the Air Wick Essential Mist Diffuser?
It uses nature-inspired fragrances, it’s portable and mess-free (doesn’t need cords and water), and it comes with 3AA batteries! Setup is super easy, and there are over 15 different scents to choose from. It’s not the cleanest choice, but it’s free from pthalates and acetone, and is definitely much more affordable than the high-grade essential oils and diffusers in the market.
So there you have it! I hope that you found this post helpful and please share if you did! And lastly, if you are shopping for Mother’s Day gifts, be sure to take advantage of the discount codes in this post!
Thank you so much for reading and for supporting this blog! It truly means a lot to me! Until next time, xx!
