Our Guide to Mother’s Day Gifting
One of the best parts of our job is getting to work with so many inspiring entrepreneurs, but spending so much time promoting their brands often leads to a lot of shopping. Luckily, that gives us an advantage in knowing what’s going on in the world of retail (including what’s new and exciting in the world of gifts).
In our world, Mother’s Day is known as ‘second Christmas.’ We have been working with our clients for months to prepare for the holiday, but as we get closer and closer to the big day, our thoughts are turning to our own mothers (and mother figures) and what we will be giving them this year.
Mother-of-two and 624 Partner Kaitlin Cleary turned to some brands she loves to create her Mother’s Day Wishlist, with themes of relaxation and luxury at the forefront of what she hopes to receive. See below for the products Kaitlin is hoping to indulge in this Mother’s Day:

Great minds think alike - and the rest of the 624 team is eager to find the perfect tokens of their appreciation for the mother figures in their lives, with the help of our clients of course. We know that the pressure is on when trying to find an adequate gift to represent the love and admiration we all feel for our mothers. Here are some thoughtful options that our team is gifting their mothers this year, from some of our favorite brands.
For the Sweet Tooth: MECHA Chocolate
A gift made with love is always a good idea, and who can resist chocolate? But we aren’t just talking about any chocolate. Woman-founded and Philadelphia-local MECHA Chocolate is like adding a bit of luxury to the everyday, and what mom doesn’t deserve that?
A 30-piece chocolate box of assorted ganaches, pralines, and caramels. The best part - moms are known for being unreasonably generous, and always sharing.
An at-home chocolate + wine tasting sounds like the perfect Mother’s Day evening activity to us. White wine fan? Of course MECHA has you covered there, too.

For the Sophisticate: Violet and Brooks
Founded by a mother and daughter duo, giving the gift of Violet & Brooks this Mother’s Day seems pretty poetic. Violet & Brooks’ brand ethos is one we hold near and dear to our hearts - connecting women together through a mutual love of fashion, accessories and shopping - no matter what age or stage of life. With an assortment of accessories and apparel (and styles to fit any budget), V&B has a wide range of options for mothers and daughters alike, and we must admit, we’re partial to matching gifts.
This small initial pendant is the perfect way to gift mom (or other ladies in your life) something special and intimate.
Eight pairs of earrings - for all occasions. The Juliette Earring Octet is essential in all accessory-lover’s collections, offering ear candy options for any look. Available in six different varieties, you can choose the octet that fits your mother’s personal style.
What mother couldn’t use a little rest & relaxation? Perfectly bundled and ready to be gifted, this striped PJ set features PJ shorts, a t-shirt, and matching bow - everything essential for a relaxing night in.

For the Home Chef: Great Jones
Great Jones is a women-owned, NYC-based cookware brand with a mission to bring happiness into all kitchens. Inspired by the trailblazing cookbook author + editor Judith Jones, they believe that cookware should look like art and be made to last. If the maternal figure in your life has an affinity for cheffing up all her favorites, consider gifting cookware that reflects her passion.
A rainbow refresh on all kitchen essentials, this set of silicone utensils are sure to bring a pop of color and energy into the kitchen.
A petition to leave mental math out of the kitchen, we’re big fans of Great Jones’ colorful measuring cups, and are firm believers that the mother-figure in your life will be too. Made from sturdy borosilicate glass, the Beyond Measure Duo makes the transition from prep-to-serving as easy as can be, as they can be placed right on your table.

For the Homebody: Printfresh
Founded by Amy Voloshin + husband/business partner Leo, Printfresh brings the whimsy and magic of nature, animals and other inspirations to life through gouache paintings, eventually translated into PJ sets, accessories, apparel and more. All of their patterns are drawn by hand, and their commitment to sustainable manufacturing is refreshing in a world of fast fashion.
All Moms deserve to live in luxury from time-to-time (i.e. all the time). Printfresh’s satin silk robe pairs playful patterns with a soft, luxurious touch - our favorite intersection to date.
PF + Lime Ricki Big Cat Family
A getaway must-have, this lightweight cotton 2-piece set is multifunctional - perfect for building sandcastles at the beach or sitting poolside with a drink in-hand. Available in bold colors and funky patterns, this set is essential for the mother who likes to make a summer statement.

For the One Who’s Hard to Shop For: Blue Delta Jeans
Myth: it is impossible to find the perfect pair of jeans. As women, we completely understand the struggle of finding a pair of jeans that fits our individual body type. That’s why we are ecstatic to be working with one of our newest clients, Blue Delta Jeans, a denim company that creates each pair of jeans with your specific body measurements. ‘Measured in a minute,’ Blue Delta Jeans offers a virtual tailoring option, where personal body measurements are taken, and the BDJ team is able to construct a tailored pair of denim, individualized to you.
Video Gift Card
Blue Delta’s video gift card allows you to create a custom video message to be delivered straight to her door. She can complete the virtual tailor from home, and they’ll craft her a pair of jeans that fit just right. Not convinced? They offer free alterations up to one year after she receives them.
