This year, instead of grabbing a last-minute present from the store, why not get the mom figure in your life a gift that is truly unique?

To help you out, we’ve created a gift guide featuring items from our online store, Six & Main, as well as products we love from other popular brands.

Moms are important to us all year, but Mother’s Day is when we can really show how special they truly are to us. From presents for the food and beverage fan to the art collector, let this gift guide lead you to the perfect present.

From the editor
If I haven’t said so already, I love cats. Did you know the Guinness World Record holder for oldest cat to ever live was a Austin kitty named Creme Puff?

Certified cat-man and Austinite Jake Perry has actually broken the record twice — Creme Puff lived to be 38 years old and one of his other cats, Granpa Rexs, lived to be 34. Jake says about a third of the hundreds of cats he’s raised and rehomed in his lifetime lived to be over 30 years old, due to the unique diet he feeds them.
