    Mother's Day is quickly approaching, and if you've left your gift shopping to the last minute, I've found 18 thoughtful items that will do just the trick. Cards, flowers, and even gift cards make great options, but what if I told you I found innovative jewelry pieces, cult-favorite beauty tools, and customizable pajamas you can buy instead? The list of maternal figures in my life I'm celebrating this year is long, but each of these items will fit into their personal styles and routines. To see every gift I'm recommending (and shopping) for Mother's Day, keep reading.

    One of my favorite traditions with my mom and grandmother is visiting Macy's on 34th Street to see its window installations each season. This iconic retailer will always remind me of the special moments I've had with my family, so naturally, I had to shop for a few gifts from Macy's this year. Below, you'll find my favorites from its fashion and beauty categories.
