Been super busy so if you didn't have
time to get your mom, your grandma,
mother-in-law, or maybe just the
special mom figure in your life.
A little gift for Mother's Day.
Don't worry, we've got you covered here.
Joining us is lifestyle
expert Kimber Westfall.
Good morning to you, Kimber.
Hey, Cleo happy Saturday.
Happy Saturday to you and you're
looking good there too. Now
what gifts can you celebrate mom
with this year for Mother's Day?
Well, you know I always
like to think if I can
of some sort of give back element.
Almost like a special packet.
So I have a couple of those.
Let's start over here with a
trifecta situation of local
businesses all collaborating.
So this involves a local
artist named Donald Robertson,
the local company Barrington and then a
nonprofit Dallas Children's Taxi Center.
So they all came together last year and
created this print right here and raised
about $40,000 for the cause of DCA.
And because that was such a success,
they said, hey,
let's do it again and they have this
lip print. And then you can get them
customized. You know, just really
special and you know this might even be
something good to get a friend of yours.
That's a mother that you
want to celebrate too.
So I love this social impact option.
And then another social impact
option involves Genesis,
women shelter and a company called Ali Bess.
It's two mothers who founded this company.
And guess who designed
this? Yeah, you know,
bring a little closer to you.
The children at Genesis women's
shelter design this wow so Allie
and best took a bunch of beads
and and they the children designed
it and this right here is their
gemstone collection so you could also
get the birthstone collection so you
could also get a birthstone for your
mother and also let's remember too.
Those of us who those people who maybe
don't have a mother with them anymore.
This is a great way to commemorate
that Mother's Day. Can be of course
celebratory but it can be it.
Can be, you know, tough,
so this is a great way
to commemorate that too.
So let's move on if we may Cleo to an
experience quick here, you're
showing us some local products.
Where can we get this stuff today so
well, this one you can actually
go and do today or tomorrow.
Some of these you can order
online and what I always do
because things get so busy.
This is actually how I'm
receiving my Mother's Day gift
for my husband and daughter is
they had a picture of what I'm getting but
they ordered it email that
said hey, it's it's coming.
So that's a great option too.
It alright, let's move on what
what's the next thing you have here
Kimber? OK, so there is a company
called Wildlife. They opened last July.
It's female owned and
it's piercing reimagined.
And the trend that they're
seeing is something I like to
call generational piercing.
They are having grandmothers,
mothers, daughters coming in,
I mean women and their 70s are
getting multiple piercings,
so I'm going to hold these up.
It's all fine jewelry when you walk in.
It's like you're walking
into a fine jewelry store.
And then they have the
piercing culture intertwined.
With that.
You can also get a gift card and this
is just something that you can go in
and do with your mom or with a friend.
Last week I did something
with one of my best friends.
We went got piercings together to
commemorate her birthday and they
have buy one get one free piercing,
not the earring itself with actual piercing.
If you bring your mom in this weekend,
OK, that's a fun gift idea
and an experience as well.
Now on the same line of experiences,
what's a little secret as a mom
that you can let us in on? So
you know, sometimes people think that you
know mothers day. They want to spend
the whole day with their
family and everything.
Sometimes mom just wants a
little bit of peace and quiet.
So I think you could really surprise
and delight mom with just some,
you know, an hour of piece.
Maybe it's a massage.
My husband surprised me and I
actually have a massage therapist
coming to the house on Sunday
night after the baby goes to bed.
Maybe it's just you know,
bringing breakfast in bed to Mom and saying,
hey, watch Netflix.
For a couple hours, we'll leave
you alone or I like
that. A little piece inquiry.
That's a good idea. Kim Burr.
Thank you so much for joining
us this morning. Great ideas.
I love that they're local.
Thank you so much, Cleo.
