Mother's Day Gift Guide 2025: The Soothing Edition

Stressful times call for destressing measures. That's where our Mother's Day gift guide comes in. Get the mom or mom-like figure in your life something soothing this year, whether she needs some self-care, wants to create a calming space, or simply wants something pretty.

Self-care

Help her take care of herself, inside and out.

Loose leaf teas. Drinking tea, whether black, white, green, or herbal, has all sorts of benefits, including heart and gut health and anti-inflammatory effects. And we have wide range to choose from!

Among our black teas are smoky lapsang souchong, spicy Yunnan gold tip, and warming masala chai. Our white teas include pomegranate goji berry and Spring Forest and Wild Silver Tips from Anna Ye. Jasmine and dragon fruit and rose are among our green tea varieties.

As for tisanes (brewed beverages made with ingredients other than tea leaves), we have florals like chrysanthemum, butterfly pea flower, and rosebud; fruits like peach passion, red dragon fruit and mango, and mixed; and roots like ginger and ginseng. All are naturally uncaffeinated.

For all things tea, consider a Tea Loves Friendship Box.

K-beauty. Nothing says self-care like a day at the spa. And you can bring the spa to her with our K-beauty products, such as COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence, the I'm From brand of rice-made cosmetics, or the Bio-Dance sheet masks. All perfect for a spa day at home.

Apothecary. Up her wellness game with some traditional Chinese apothecary items, including tiger balm for those minor aches and pains, white flower oil for a fragrant bath, a gua sha for a facial acupressure, or chrome therapy balls to massage the hands. You can also get her all of that and more with our Apothecary Friendship Box.

A serene space

Calm surroundings can calm the mind.

Lighting. Create some mood lighting with Asian-inspired scented candles from Scrumptious Wicks and Baisun, uniquely shaped lanterns, and a lovely lotus lamp

Incense and accessories. Consider an incense holder or one of our many varieties of incense sticks. Not only is it calming, it's spiritual too. 

Garland decor. Butterfly, dragonfly, or eco-paper garlands in whimsical designs add a playful touch to any room.

Something pretty

Putting on something pretty can also lighten one's mood.

Cloisonne-design porcelain necklaces. Now in addition to our round and oval porcelain necklaces, we have cylindrical beads. Somewhat more delicate, the cylinder bead necklaces are also made of porcelain and painted in a cloisonne lotus design.

Kawaii earrings. From Chaotic Neutral come these adorable earrings featuring characters from Studio Ghibli films, like Jiji from Kiki's Delivery Service, Boh Mouse from Spirited Away, and Calcifer from Howl's Moving Castle.

Supersoft scarves. These oversized woven scarves can double as cozy shawls. Available in garden, lotus, and peony patterns.

Beautiful bags. Some of our new favorites include these embroidered minis, these brocade messenger bags, and these Thai-style batik totes.
