Mother’s Day Gift Ideas by Local Texas Momtrepreneurs

Mother’s day is fast-approaching, and we are so excited to celebrate the moms in our lives. Since we are a part of the Port Aransas community, we hold a special place in our hearts for Texas moms and the combination of grit and grace they possess all while raising their families. That’s why we have compiled a list of brands founded and owned by Texas Momtrepreneurs that the moms in your life will be sure to fall in love with!  

KENDRA SCOTT
(No.1 and 3)
No Texas Momtrepreneur list would be complete without Kendra Scott, owner and creator of her self-named popular jewelry line. Kendra started the now-incredibly successful business out of her house, and she makes it a point to employ mostly women and provide a family-friendly work life for other hard-working moms to succeed. Show mom you appreciate all she does for the family this year and get her the simple and classic Elisa pendant. It's available in 32 colors, and they do give you the option to customize your jewelry with different stones and metals through their color bar. You can also mix it up with these cute rose gold statement earrings from their bright new summer collection.

DARBIE ANGELL
(No.2 and 7)
Darbie Angell started her designer dinnerware company from bedrest after going into labor - while only being 5 months pregnant with her daughter. After earning enough capital to get started, her products can now be found all over -- including at big retailers like Macy’s, Bed Bath & Beyond, and Dillard’s. In addition, her products are made at over 10 different factories around the world, especially in Bangladesh, where she has created a safe work environment that empowers women and mothers (3 hot meals a day, doctors on call, and a school for their children to attend). Get mom a unique, beautiful hydration bottle or travel mug for her stylish on-the-go lifestyle, or update the kitchen to amp up her evening entertaining with some modern dinnerware.  

DRUNK ELEPHANT
(No.4)
The cheeky name is based off a myth, the product’s benefits are not. Founder Tiffany Masterson is a Houston mother of four who took her skincare back into her own hands, eliminating toxic and unhelpful ingredients found in most skin products that she dubs the “Suspicious 6”. Give mom the gift of a luxurious, Allure award-winning, spa-like experience at home with products like the T.L.C. Sukari Babyfacial, which scrubs away old skin cells and reveals fresh, radiant, baby-soft skin.

TIFFS TREATS
(No.5)
Tiffany Taylor stood up Leon Chen on a date when they were sophomores at the University of Texas and delivered him fresh cookies to apologize. Clearly he forgave her (they are now married), and a new business idea was born. Today, Tiffany loves to bake the same family-recipe with her children at her home kitchen. Tiff’s Treat’s is the perfect twist on the classic chocolate and flowers--you can pick from 10 delicious flavors and include a personalized message. Don’t forget to order some milk and ice cream to include with your delivery to mom! For more ideas, check out their Mother's Day specials.

FRONT PORCH PANTRY
(No.6)
Front Porch Pantry is a Texas-based meal-delivery company started by mom of two, Michaelann Dykes. Her culinary excellence and nutritional science knowledge has led her ever-growing company to expand from just servicing the Dallas/Fort Worth area to all of Texas, and she wants to help your family answer the question, “What’s for dinner?” Give mom a relaxing night in with the family by ordering healthy, fresh, and delicious meals delivered right to her doorstep, like this Lemon Chicken and Rice dish.  

Moms seem to be able to do it all, and these entrepreneurs just go to prove it! Each of these brands offer a wide selection of products and are sure to have the perfect “thank you” for every unique mom. In addition, we will be having a full weekend of Mother's Day festivities at Cinnamon Shore, including morning yoga, in-home spa massages, a special brunch (mimosas will definitely be included), and more. Also, did we mention she'll be greeted with a bottle of rosé? Check out our Mother's Day page to learn more on what we have planned!
