Maybe its the 40-degree weather in Minneapolis, but I’ve been dreaming about sunshine yellows, citrus scents, bamboo this and palm trees that. Basically, anything that takes me far, far away to a tropical place. Which got me to thinking: Doesn’t every mom secretly want the same thing? Here’s some gift inspiration for you + yours:

Maui by MCMC Fragrances ($45-$110) – easy, breezy ginger + tuberose. Guerlain Terracotta Bronzing Powder ($46) – classic compact, just-back-from St. Bart’s color. Kate Spade High Tide Cosmetic Bag ($65) – the chic shape means it can double as a clutch! Bobbi Brown Beach Sunscreen Body Spray SPF 15 ($28) – So much better than Coppertone; Bobbi Brown Blush in Peony ($24) – Duchess Kate’s rumored bridal blush; Rodin Olio Lusso Luxury Hair Oil ($60) – Liquid gold for goddess hair; Chanel Le Vernis Nail Color in Mimosa ($25) – The only summer accessory she’ll need; Melange Solid Perfume Blending Palette in Citrus Notes ($28) – mix and match!; Kate Somerville 360 degree Tanning Towelettes ($48) – indulgent, yes, but isn’t that the point?; Sonia Kashuk Couture Brush Collection ($8 and up) – picture them in a white lacquer pencil cup; Diptyque 34 Blvd. St. Germain Candle ($80) – gorgeously oversized and Parisian.
