"Every day is a new opportunity to take a mom-ent and celebrate remarkable mothers."

Whether you’re treating the superwoman who raised you, that “Aunty” who became a second mother, or a close friend who just had a baby, there are many creative ways to brighten her day with a unique gift for mom. To help you choose the perfect gift for mom, here as some recommendations we know she'll love, and what you’ll need to get it done:

Get her dressed. Take her out.


Wi Outside! Now’s the best time to book a reservation at her favorite restaurant or buy tickets to a movie she wants to see or a concert she wants to attend. Yet, a real Caribbean mom isn’t going out without donning her best threads. Here’s an idea for a gift for mom, complete her look with stylish, handcrafted Jamaica Sandal Co Kelly sandals. These chic slippers have comfy lace-up straps excellent for the minimalist mom who loves fashion but values comfort.

Plus, if she loves unique jewelry that will bring out her inner fashionista, then Chrissys Coils Jungle Sunset Earrings are the perfect complement for the outfit she chooses. 


Are you hitting the beach with the special mother in your life? Get her ready for sunbathing and splish-splashing with a hand-woven crochet swimsuit from Marabelle Inc. This Marabelle Krishtun Skirt set is as flirty as it is classy and sophisticated. Trust wi! Upgrading her closet is a great gift for mom.

A great gift for mom? Cook for her!


Why go out to a fancy restaurant, when you know all she wants is the taste of ‘home’? We both know that a home-cooked meal, with all the Caribbean flava will have her asking for seconds and feeling appreciated. 


Cooking is a great way to give mom a break from the kitchen while providing an experience of the tastebuds. Get your apron out and pre-heat the oven to cook up an unforgettable banquet of food using items from our Caribbean-Made Gift Box. From appetizer to dessert, this gift for mom set has all the right flavors to create a special menu, including Empty Plates by Lisa Escoveitch Dressing, FenMade Sweet Heat Pepper Jelly, Mudda n Law Sweet & Spicy Tamarind Sauce, Cocoa Republic Almond Toffee Malted Milk Chocolate, and more. Plus, this gift box comes with coffee and cake she can enjoy for days to come!

And if cooking is more trick than treat for you, bring the taste of the islands closer to her with any of our Caribbean Food Bundles packed with a diverse selection of sweet and savory foods and drinks. You can never go wrong with food as a gift for mom.

Fix up her space.


Every Caribbean mother appreciates a little ‘fix up’ around the house, so here’s a practical way to celebrate her. This gesture can be as simple as tidying up around her home, repairing furniture or appliances, or redecorating for her, but it’s still a very thoughtful gift for mom.

Getting handmade art pieces that she can display around her home is the icing on the cake. You could even buy a unique kitchen accessory such as a handcrafted Cutting Board Set, which comes with a cutting board, a cheese board, and coasters, making it perfect as a display item or for use when entertaining. 


Another splendid option is a hand-painted art piece that captures everything about back home. This McAnuff Art View from Jamaica Grand Print on Canvas painting is as breathtaking as it is nostalgic as each stroke captures the spirit of Jamaica. You could even buy a unique kitchen accessory such as a handcrafted Exotic Wood House Plaque, which will become a treasured keepsake for years to come and will always be admired for its unique beauty and design. 


Come on. Don't any of these sounds like a great gift for mom?

Plan a spa day at home.
