Kindle Oasis

Especially when warmer weather rolls around, there’s nothing like an e-reader to take with you on vacation, to the beach or while you’re traveling; it’s just the easiest way to make sure you always have a book on you. The Kindle Oasis is the most advanced of the Kindle family — not to mention it’s our favorite e-reader of 2023.

All of the pieces are wrapped in a supersoft silicone, which makes them easy to use and keep clean.

Le Creuset Round Dutch Oven

One of the most used pieces of kitchenware in our kitchen, this Dutch oven is a classic for a reason. Not only is it perfect for all types of soups and stews, but it’s also great for cooking or frying just about anything evenly (you have the enameled cast iron to thank for that), and for other culinary projects like baking bread. It's available in various sizes and colors.

This classic chain bracelet is the perfect addition to any mom’s jewelry box. We love the idea of personalizing it (since it is engravable!) with a special message to make the gift that much more special.
