Mother’s Day Gift Guide: Thoughtful Finds for Moms & Grandmas

Mother’s Day is right around the corner (Sunday, May 11!), and if you’re looking for a gift that feels special, personal, and full of heart — we’ve got you covered. Whether you’re shopping for your mom, your grandma, or a mother figure you love, this guide blends vintage charm from Loom Vintage with perfect pairings from our favorite small businesses across Bridgeport, Fairfield, and Westport.

From Loom Vintage (Bridgeport, CT)

1. Vintage Brass Candlesticks
Elegant, timeless, and full of warmth — these beauties make any space feel just a little more magical.

2. Woven Basket Bags
Functional and stylish, these are great for farmer’s markets, beach trips, or everyday errands — and they look beautiful hanging by the door.

3. Etched Glassware Sets
From wine goblets to cocktail coupes, a set of vintage glassware instantly elevates her table (and her next girls’ night in).

4. Vintage Jewelry Boxes
Give her treasures a new home with a velvet-lined, vintage jewelry box. A perfect blend of nostalgia and utility.

5. Natural Fiber Clothing
Our ever-evolving clothing rack features breathable, easy-to-wear pieces in cotton, linen, and silk — flattering for moms and grandmas alike.

6. Vintage Artwork
From florals to coastal scenes, our framed vintage pieces bring character to any wall and make for a one-of-a-kind gift.

Pair It With Local Favorites

7. A Good Book from Black Rock Books (Bridgeport, CT)
Pick out a novel, memoir, or poetry collection she’ll actually read and love. Ask the shop owner for a staff recommendation based on what she’s into.

8. Chocolate from BE Chocolat (Fairfield, CT)
Beautifully crafted truffles, caramels, and chocolate-covered everything. Wrap them up in a vintage dish from Loom for a sweet and thoughtful combo.

9. Candles from NaturalAnnie Essentials (Bridgeport, CT)
These locally poured candles smell amazing (think: pineapple sage, mango coconut, cashmere plum) and come in vibrant, joyful packaging she’ll want to display.

10. Florals from Terrain (Westport, CT)
Opt for a dried bouquet that lasts or a fresh bunch of peonies or tulips. Pair it with a Loom vase or woven basket for a full floral moment.

11. Art from Flourish + Fern (Bridgeport, CT)
Botanical-inspired illustrations and calming prints that work beautifully in bedrooms, hallways, or reading nooks. Pick one and pair it with a vintage frame for an easy, heartfelt gift.
