The Very Cavallari star, founder of Uncommon James and mom of three dishes on her go-to gifts that are perfect presents for Mother's Day
From floral scented candles to a cheese-themed puzzle, Kristin Cavallari has a Mother's Day gift idea for every mom on May 8.
The Very Cavallari star, founder & CEO of Uncommon James and mom to three kids — Camden Jack, 9, Jaxon Wyatt, 7, and Saylor James, 6 — shares home goods, beauty products and everything in between.
"These are great when you just want to relax," the star says of the eucalyptus and blue clay soaking salts. "A bath is really nice for a mom to be able to do and these salts are detoxifying so they leave you feeling really good."

Cavallari's lifestyle brand has some goodies that are ideal gifts for Mother's Day. "This is my favorite feminine candle, but it's not overly sweet. I think candles really set the ambiance and I always have them going. And they're always a safe bet for a gift if you don't know what else to get someone," she says.

"I'm obsessed with all of their kitchen products," Cavallari says of the style-savvy startup. "They're nontoxic so you have peace of mind knowing that when you roast vegetables or whatever you're cooking, there's no chemicals getting into your food."
They're also extremely easy to clean," she notes. "Which is a dream come true for a mom!"

This is a tool that Cavallari has in her own home and is "obsessed" with. "This one's a splurge, but it makes lattes so good," she says. "It's a milk frother and it also looks really cute to have out since it has a vintage look to it."

"Being a mom, we're constantly on the go and can sometimes look a little tired and this just plumps up your eyes," Cavallari says of the LED light therapy, which boosts collagen.

"I live in these sweats," Cavallari says about the Tribe Kelley set. "They are the most comfortable sweats on the planet and when I'm home, that's typically what I'm wearing."

For fashion and function, this laptop case is a go. "This is a great gift for the working mom who wants to have a chic laptop. I have the black faux crocodile print one and people ask where I got it from all the time," Cavallari says.
