Our Top Picks for the Week of May 7, 2018

Some great gifts this week, from jewelry for Mother's Day to a cute math mug for Teacher Appreciation Week, plus a couple "elevated necessities" for you. As we more into skin-baring season, we are loving this scrub -- ideal for pre-self tanning prep -- and this hat to keep the sun's rays from your face...stylishly, of course.Angela: The perfect pre-self tanner exfoliator. The Herbivore Botanicals Coco Rose Body Polish scrub is extremely effective at sloughing dead skin and doesn’t leave the skin oily, so self tanner can be applied right away. Love! (Available at Bellacara, $36)Elizabeth: Sometimes hats are for looks and sometimes a hat is just to keep the sun off your face. Then every once in awhile there is a hat that does both, like the adorable Raffia Braid Lampshade Hat by Hat Attack we just got in, in white or pink trim. (Available at The Shoe Hive, $100)Meaghan: Looking for an extra-special Mother's Day gift? This feminine 14-karat white gold/multistone cocktail ring should do the trick. Featuring a crimson garnet, pink sapphires, diamonds, and two sweet pearls, this ring might even make up for last year's spilled breakfast-in-bed incident... (Available at Alx&Co., $2,520)Amy: This week is Teacher Appreciation Week in Alexandria Public Schools so show your favorite teacher how much you appreciate all that they do for your little people. For instance, share your child’s love of math with this mug from Fishs Eddy. (Available at Red Barn Mercantile, $19)Celeste: Gleaming layered discs adorns this chic, adjustable pendant necklace. Yes! It can be worn long or adjusted to a shorter length…you decide! A perfect gift for mom! (Available at Kiskadee, $85)
