Me Time for Mom: Our Mother's Day Gift Picks

Give Mom the best gift of all — time to herself. Here's how.

Set the stage with some lovely candles. EMME's high-end line is inspired by the smells the Asian American founders grew up loving, such as yuzu, calamansi guava, and sakura.

The fragrances of Scrumptious Wicks conjure up South Asia with Mango Lassi, Cinnamon Chai, and Matcha Lemonade. From Baisun come classic scents such as White Peach, Dragonfruit Tea, and good-enough-to-eat Brown Sugar Boba.

Take tea time to a whole new level. These matcha ceremonial sets have everything she needs for the Japanese tradition of chado or the "way of tea." Meanwhile these matte glazed teapots and cups are steeped in elegant minimalism.

Make reading even more meaningful. Honoring NYC Chinatown, this limited run all-in-one metal bookmark, lightcatcher, and magnet was designed by Edgycated, a POC woman-owned design shop, and produced in partnership with Welcome to Chinatown, a grassroots organization supporting the small businesses that keep Manhattan’s Chinatown alive and thriving.

Each design celebrates a historic street in Manhattan's Chinatown:

• Canal Street — This primary thoroughfare of Chinatown was named after a canal that once ran through the area
• Pell Street — A must-visit lane marked by its iconic golden horse, long-standing restaurants, and family-run shops
• Grand Street — A lively stretch known for its bakeries and Chinese BBQ spots, Grand is also one of the cross streets near Pearl River Mart's flagship store
