As a busy full-time fashion editor and mother of two, I'd love for Mother's Day: less time doing laundry and working on the computer and more quality time with my kiddos. Oh, a little more sleep and "me" time wouldn't go amiss either. Throw in free childcare while we're at it. Not too much to ask, is it?! 

Okay, so I can't wish for miracles, but parenting really is a wonderful and crazy mixed bag of emotions—and by far one of the most magical, challenging, blissful, emotional, tender, exhausting, and joyous experiences of my whole life—and I'm not going to lie, it sure is lovely to feel that little token of appreciation on Mother's Day. While I don't expect anything (but plenty of hugs and kisses!), I definitely wouldn't say no to some of the gorgeous gifts below. From luxurious face masks to cozy bath robes and pretty lipsticks, as well as cute and practical pieces for first-time moms, below I'm sharing a lovely list of items from Nordstrom that I think any mom would love. Take a peek below to get inspired. 

Sorry, not sorry for adding these.

When I'm having a long day and need to freshen up this is like a shot of radiance to the skin.

Everyone raves about this bodywash.

Designer shades that stand out from the crowd.

I'm obsessed with the scent of this elegant candle.

Whoever's listening out there, I've run out of this incredible oil and could use another one to 10 bottles.

Yeah, I definitely wouldn't say no to the Rich Cream.

Dry brushing is a ritual I've been dying to start.

For the farmers market. For vacation. For everyday. It's chic.

Such a sweet gift for new mamas. I received this when my baby girl was born and the onesie is the softest. 

Throw on and go for all those outdoor activities with the kiddos.

A jade facial massage tool that brings the spa home to you.

Yes, I do want an Insta-worthy pool towel, thanks very much.

A soft and easy tee for home and beyond.

An encouraging reminder that a bath soak is always a good idea.

When the bottle is as gorgeous as the scent itself.

I adore Pehr products. Store diapers, wipes, pacifiers and more in this charming pouch.

The blend of lavender, vetiver, and chamomile calms both the mind and the body for a peaceful night's sleep.

Ugg slippers will always be appreciated.

Anything that cuts my hair drying time in half is a big yes in my book.

These socks are insanely soft.

Cute and comfy PJs mom will want to show off.

Easy ballet flats to wear with jeans.

Something special for the warm season ahead.
