Won’t make it home in time? Send something sweet, like this organic California Bay Laurel bay leaf wreath from Organic Bouquet (pictured above), paired with fresh chili peppers and a bow. When she’s cooking, mom can tug off a leaf for seasoning, for up to one year after she receives it. A gift that keeps giving, no doubt. ($32)

During the winter months, there’s nothing more comforting than a hot mug of soup. Give mom something to warm her up with these Buddha bowls from eco-conscious retailer VivaTerra, perfect for cradling fireside. Choose from white, blue or green. ($28 each.)

Etsy seller Pacific Drift creates lovely driftwood frames like this one, made to house a 4” by 6” photo of you or your family. Slightly rugged – but perfectly pretty – it’s sure to add a bit of west coast charm wherever it sits. ($25)

Prep for spring with these pocket-sized garden sets, gifted in reclaimed tin, and complete with seeds, garden stakes, directions and harvesting tips. Choose whichever your mama most fancies – herbal tea garden, gourmet salad garden, or wine lovers garden, with herbs that complement food and wine pairings. ($15 each.)
