2021 Mother’s Day Gift Guide – where to shop

Purely Porcelain

We’re smitten with our fellow Scout Guide member’s gracefully sculpted knots!  Choose from a range of traditional sailor’s knots for the mom who loves days spent on a boat, the scent of the ocean, or the sound of gentle lake waves.  With varied colors and textures, you’re sure to find just the right one.  Pictured clockwise from right: Two-Half Hitches Knot, Folded Porcelain Knot, and Manger Knot.

Walter Pine Floral Studio

Take your flower-giving game up a level with a “Flowers on Repeat” floral subscription from Queen Village’s Walter Pine Floral Studio.  Choose the delivery frequency that suits her best, and she’ll receive a charming, freshly-wrapped bouquet like magic.  If she leans towards classic arrangements in a pretty vase, the Heirloom Vase Arrangement is the perfect choice.  Walter Pine also has a lovely selection of gifts for home and garden at a variety of price points!

Occasionette

Shop the cheerful retailer in two locations, on South Philadelphia’s East Passyunk Avenue or across the bridge in Collingswood, or online anytime!  Occasionette offers perfect home goods, decor, and gifts for just about everyone, from cookbooks and cocktail accessories to an impressive candle bar.  We love the Tea Forté Fleur Petite Presentation Box, with it’s prettily-packaged floral tea infuser pyramids featuring original artwork from The New York Botanical Garden.

Philadelphia Museum of Art

Known to locals as simply “the Art Museum,” PMA is a beloved landmark for Philadelphians.  Its shop offers an array of locally made gifts along with books inspired by past exhibits and Philadelphia itself.  In 2020’s Philadelphia: Portraits of the City, black and white portraits accompanied by brief descriptions and stories showcase the architecture and urban landscape that make up the shared history of the city.  This book is a must have for the mom who loves architecture, history, and the unique experience of being a Philadelphian.

Pax Philomena

Elevate her loungewear game with a pair of luxe pajamas from Pax Philomena.  Artisans in India block print the fabric by hand, and the 100% cotton voile fabric will soften over time until she doesn’t know how she lived without them!  The brand also features lounge pants, sleep shorts, and gorgeously patterned kaftans just made for strappy sandals and summer breezes.
