Every cell in my body that is infatuated with shopping comes straight from my mother. Most of my childhood memories involve trips to Nordstrom, the smell of pretzels at the mall, and the crinkling sound of paper shopping bags. Yes, I read books and played at parks, but nothing was more formative than the time I spent shopping with her. The proof is that I ended up here, writing this holiday gift guide. The following 24 items are inspired by her, and I guarantee that any mother figure would also love to unwrap these gifts this season. I included the viral Coach bag, the softest cashmere you can imagine, cool sneakers, and the coats I would personally steal from my mom. The hardest part will be narrowing down what to purchase, but no matter what you decide, just know these have the mom stamp of approval. Keep scrolling to shop my latest gift guide.
