It’s Time To Celebrate The Mamas!

Hip hip hooray for mamas making the world go round. Mother’s Day is May 8, which will be here before you know it! If you’re shopping for a mom this year, do not snooze this blog post - it has everything you need. Treat the moms in your life to a squeeze, some quiet time, and something beautiful that lets them know how grateful you are. We’ve rounded up a few of our favorite mom-pleasers from Red Barn Mercantile and Penny Post that we know the moms in your life will love.

Red Barn Mercantile has so many new and wonderful things happening in the shop. Our apothecary collection is booming. We’ve added so many great new products to our shelves that will make for a great home-spa moment. Additionally, our bar cart runneth over. Cocktail kits, mixers, coasters, glasses, oh my!

You can’t go wrong with a good book, a puzzle to work on as a family, a picture frame for a photo of their favorite child, an organic cotton robe to lounge in while everyone waits on them hand and foot, a gorgeous pitcher to fill with flowers (which you have definitely preordered from a local florist, click here Alexandrians) … or perhaps a batch of margaritas?

Penny Post is also flush with mama gifts. If it’s a fancy fountain pen or a set of personalized stationery she’s after - place your orders now! 

Some of our other favorite gifts include, but are certainly not limited to, this beautifully illustrated book of poems about motherhood, a pair of sustainably sourced earrings, a floral notepad or stationery set, a memory book for keeping track of these fast-moving days, and of course, a “Mother of the Goddamn Year” mug or keychain that really says it all.  

Red Barn Mercantile and Penny Post both have gift collections broken out into categories and themes that might further help you find a gift for her specific interests. Go to either of our websites (Red Barn Mercantile or Penny Post), and check out the “Gifts” menu at the top of the page. Also, our teams are always on hand to curate a gift, especially for those special mamas in your life. Whether you want something sentimental or practical, Red Barn Mercantile and Penny Post have all the things. Spoil them rotten! And whatever you do, don’t forget the card. Penny Post and Red Barn Mercantile both have excellent collections this year!
