11 Amazing Gifts for the Mother in Your Life

Swag From Jessica Kagan Cushman

Jessica Kagan Cushman is the daughter of renowned furniture designer Vladimir Kagan and needlework diva Erica Wilson so design runs in Jessica’s veins. What began at an early age with stringing shells and bits of flotsam and jetsam into necklaces on the beach blossomed into a full-blown obsession with fashion and jewelry by the time Cushman was in her mid 20s. Now her signature bracelets and bags are everywhere. We love her new Nantucket bangles — perfect for Mother's Day because they feature sayings popular around the globe, including (from America), "Because I said so, that's why" and (from Africa) "Every beetle is a gazelle in the eyes of its mother." If Mom doesn't don chunky jewelry, go for a the Bite Me Victorian Vixen Canvas Clutch -- it's perfectly feminine but with a bit of, well, bite to it.
