Mother’s Day falls around the same time every year, but for some reason, we always think we have more time to shop — until we don’t. May 10 is inching closer and closer, but there’s no need to stress. Mint & Lily is famous for making personalized pieces that won’t break the bank. Think initial necklaces, birthstone charm bracelets and custom nameplates, all for under $100.
If the brand wasn’t already on your radar, you might be shocked to find its offerings are extensive. While we’d never stop you from stocking up (we’ll be doing the same), Mint & Lily’s bestseller list is a smart place to start. Check out our favorite styles that the moms in your life will love. Whether you’re grabbing something for your own mother, your grandma, your aunt, your wife or another mother figure you love, she’s bound to unwrap this sweet gift and quickly slip it on. Take that, procrastination!
Mint & Lily Mother’s Day Gifts
1. Style Staple: Maybe it’s the millennial in Us, but we’ll never not love a nameplate necklace. Aside from the scribbly, script-like writing, what makes this pick extra special is that it includes a lab-created birthstone charm, adding a hint of color and extra sparkle.
2. Dainty and Subtle: If you’re shopping for a mom or grandma of multiples, personalization can get chaotic quickly. This beaded bracelet is simple enough for everyday wear, and while you can decorate it with multiple birthstone charms, they’re small enough that even a big bunch will still look chic, rather than overwhelming.
3. Tiny Touch: The most fashionable women among Us enjoy stacking thin gold rings. If mom loves to layer her jewels, too, add Mint & Lily’s 18k gold-plated sterling silver name rings to cart. Dainty and delicate, they can be personalized with her babies’ names, proving that proud mama style can still look elevated.
4. Everyday Earrings: If you’re really in a rush, skip adding the name of her eighth, yet-to-be-born grandchild to your order and simply snag a pair of huggies. The double-hoop style still feels special — especially thanks to those cubic zirconia embellishments — but they’re not something she has to save for fancy occasions. This pair will look just as great with a T-shirt and denim shorts as it does with a floral gown!
5. Two in One: If mom loves a good necklace but hasn’t quite mastered the art of layering, do the hard work for her. The Bezel Necklace and Petal Chain Set is already perfectly paired, and opening it will feel like getting two gifts rather than one.
6. One and Done: If you’re shopping for a new mom or a mom of an only, Mint & Lily’s rope chain letter necklace is the ultimate find. It features a single initial on a Mother of Pearl disc, and the bold design will no doubt become a favorite she reaches for again and again.
7. Statement Stack: Birthstones, names — if you can’t decide which route to go, do both! This ring stack features three fun styles, including one engraved ring (which can say something like “mom” or her first name), one white zircon band and one personalized birthstone band. It looks luxe, but the sterling silver pick costs under $100, making it a true steal.
8. A Real Charmer: If mama is a true fashionista, she’ll likely work this initial and birthstone charm necklace into every outfit. Hung on a paperclip chain, it’s the type of piece that will amp up a simple tank or LBD while still working well with her favorite colorful sweater. The good news is that, like the rest of the brand’s accessories, it doesn’t tarnish, so even if she rocks it often, the piece will still look like new next Mother’s Day.
9. Secret Spinner: To the naked eye, this ring passes as a classic embellished option. However, it’s secretly a fidget spinner and includes a movable outer band. The brand notes that this is the ideal piece for someone with “ADHD, anxiety or anyone who enjoys subtle movement throughout the day,” as it helps with focus and calming nerves. If mom’s calendar is packed with important meetings where it’s tough to sit still and concentrate, this gift can be a small way to show your support.
10. Kinda Nostalgic: If mom was an ‘It’ girl of the early ’00s, it’s possible she wore a similar heart pendant bracelet with her Juicy Couture tracksuits. This Mother of Pearl alternative is an updated take on a trend that will bring her back, but this time the design includes another teeny-tiny pendant, which can be customized with either her kid’s initial or her own.
