for the women who raised us

21 thoughtful things for the mothers, grandmothers, aunties, sisters, and women who make somewhere feel like home.

a little note from anjalee:

i’ve always thought the best gifts are the ones that make you feel known. something that reminds you of a place, a ritual, an inside joke, a version of yourself.

so for mother’s day, i put together a little guide of things i’d genuinely love to give (or receive), from brands and makers i love.

and yes, i paired each category with an ehsaas candle. i may be a little biased, but i really do think scent is one of the easiest ways to make someone feel something. “ehsaas,” after all, literally means “a feeling.”

21 things, 7 kinds of people, 3 gifts for each.

hope you find something that feels like her.

for the homebody

for the one who’s made home her favorite place to be

for the early bird

for the one who’s up before everyone else

for the adorned

for the one who never leaves the house without a piece of jewelry on

for the curator

for the one who treats getting dressed like a hobby

for the gardener

for the one who loves taking care of things and watching them grow (aside from you)

for the gatherer

for the one who makes sure no one leaves hungry

for the bookworm

for the one who always has a book within reach

  • “mograni” by ehsaas, $42
  • the lion women of tehran by marjan kamali, $14
  • the last queen by chitra banerjee divakaruni, $19

 

at the end of the day, it’s not really about the gift.

just something thoughtful. something that says, i know you.

something that feels like her.
