Cashmere wraps are a favorite of Katie’s not only because they make for great gifts, but because they’re so incredibly versatile. Wear one as a scarf or shawl on chilly days, use it as a blanket on long-haul flights, or fold it into a pillow on a long car ride. This one from Quince comes in six colors, and it’s affordable enough that you can buy one for yourself and your giftee.

Last year, right after baby Jay was born, Katie got Ellie a necklace with his first initial on it, so she’s always got him close to her heart. We’re still fond of the idea a year later, which is why this playful monogram necklace made our list.

If they’re still using a plastic salt shaker — or worse, that cardboard cylinder straight from the grocery store — it’s time for a serious upgrade. This wood salt cellar is not only beautiful enough that it can be left out on the counter, but it also comes with a tiny spoon that makes getting a pinch or two very chic and easy. When gifting Katie usually pairs this cellar with a tub of her favorite flaky sea salt from Maldon (you can get more than a pound for just $17), but you could also go wild and give a flavor-infused salt, like one from Jacobsen Salt Co.

To let a long-distance loved one know you’re thinking about them, why not send a box of perfectly ripe and juicy pears? Katie can’t get enough of these incredibly sweet gems, and they come individually wrapped in gold foil in a protective wooden box — so you don’t have to worry about them arriving sad and smashed.

You can’t go wrong with a piece of jewelry she’s able to wear everyday, especially when it’s as layerable as this necklace. The chunky paperclip style is timeless, pairs beautifully with other chains, and even allows for a personalized charm if you’re feeling creative. (For new moms, Katie suggests either the baby’s birthstone or first initial.)

One of Katie’s go-to hostess gifts? A tiny bud vase with a few stems of fresh flowers from her garden. This petite vessel has an elegant ruffled edge,  and it looks just as good with a single flower as it does with a mini bouquet.

Don’t tell Ellie, but for Mother’s Day, Katie’s planning on giving her a gift card to her favorite restaurant, so she and her husband are forced to have a date night and take a well-deserved break from baby duty. If you aren’t sure about your giftee’s go-to place, a food app delivery gift card is a thoughtful alternative that saves new parents from having to cook dinner while juggling diaper changes and feedings.

A soothing bath can help ease away stress and tension, especially when it includes essential oils that act as aromatherapy. This tablet slowly melts in warm water, releasing moisturizing cocoa butter along with an all-natural rose fragrance. It’s gentle enough for sensitive skin, including babies’, and can be used directly in the shower if your recipient isn’t one for soaking in the tub.

Despite their exotic look and prestigious reputation, orchids are surprisingly easy to care for. As long as they water it every one to two weeks and place this flowering beauty in a spot with indirect light (like sunlight filtered through a curtain or blinds), it’ll thrive for a long, long time.

Shopping for someone you don’t know very well is a challenge, so Katie usually goes with this safe bet: all-natural hand cream. Because it’s unscented, you don’t have to worry about offending your recipient with a particular smell, and it’s ideal for those who have sensitive skin. The ultra-moisturizing formula is particularly perfect for the dry, cracked skin on your hands and feet.

Every stylish woman appreciates a finely crafted handbag, especially one made from soft Italian leather. An adjustable strap means it can be worn on the shoulder or crossbody, and there are three sections to ensure all her belongings stay organized. This one isn’t quite big enough to hold a laptop, but it could definitely stow a tablet or Kindle for easy use while traveling.

A simple scarf is often underestimated: Not only can it be worn around the neck as an accessory, but it makes an excellent headband, hair tie, bag decoration, or — in a pinch — a bindle for running away from home (kidding!). This one is silk and feels incredibly soft against skin, and it’s lightweight enough to wear in warm weather without making you sweat.

Heading to a friend’s house to celebrate Mom’s Day? Let them have their cake and you can eat it, too: Made to share, this seven-layer confection is Katie’s favorite sweet treat to bring to parties or send to friends when they need a pick-me-up. Not only is it delicious, but it’s a beautiful sight to behold, too.

When it comes to jewelry, few pieces go with virtually any outfit quite like a great pair of gold hoop earrings. This Jennifer Fisher pair, which Katie recently acquired, is both a statement-making accessory and a minimalist style that’s sure to please your pickiest of fashionistas. The celeb-backed is favorited by the likes of Michelle Obama, Jessica Alba, and, of course, Katie.

After receiving these gorgeous wine glasses from a friend, Katie can’t stop paying it forward and buying them for others. End your hunt for the hostess with the mostest — these colorful stemless cups are the way to go, and they come in eight different color options.
