Sometimes it seems really simple to find great gifts for moms. Girls like things that look and smell pretty, right? But after a few gift-giving occasions throughout the year, it gets harder and harder to find something different that they’ll actually love… and that isn’t an exact repeat of the last gift you gave.

That’s why I took to the internet to find some really cool, pretty different gift ideas for moms that I wouldn’t mind unwrapping myself. Great for Mother’s Day, birthdays, pretty much any special occasion that pops up during the year, these gifts are sure to catch that special momma in your life by surprise and fill her up with happiness.

Also, I’ll take one of each. Thanks. 😉

I like snark. I do. It can make me laugh when I’m otherwise feeling kind of crappy. And when it’s witty it can be real good.

I was all set to pull out the snark when it came to red carpet recaps (because, um, I’m completely incapable of skipping them—no matter how hard my husband makes fun of me and the ridiculousness of the whole thing), but I just can’t this year.

From Lupita to Let it Go, last night was a hardcore Girl Power fest and, while ragging on dresses might be fun, it kind of takes away from the whole thing for me. I can’t exactly bask in the awesome afterglow of ladies ruling the night while I’m sitting in my slippers and messy bun tearing down the looks I didn’t like.

Instead, I decided to focus on the hot mommas that were out in full, fabulous force last night—and if you have a problem with that, you can go tell it to Adele Dazeem.

This month’s Momtrepreneur is a mother of three (which includes a set of twins!) from Dresden, Germany.

Annett worked at a large German financial institute for nearly two decades before leaving her position and founding internaht, a children’s clothing company.

Full of bright, graphic, high quality pieces, internaht clothing is built to last–and perfect for handing down from child to child.

I asked Annett a few questions to learn more about her work and her process–and hopefully get some helpful pointers for other ladies out there looking to start their own businesses.
