(nsfmg) Gift Guide for Your BFF
For the friend who affirms your rant texts, calls you on your stuff, never judges your parenting, and has probably seen your boobs (multiple times).
A cozy roll-out-of-bed to drop off (nsfmg) sweatshirt. We may be a teeny bit biased but matching sweatshirts feel like the friendship bracelets of motherhood.
We’re calling it. This is the unofficial mug of team (nsfmg). There’s nothing better than strolling past your reflection in the mirror holding this mug and feeling like, heck yeah, I’m a hot mom doing hot mom shit. It’s also vv ‘gramable. (edited to say the mug is sold out! But we like this one too.) And we quite fancy this glass. Wine or coffee, it’s all on the table.
Every birthing human needs support in this area, and that’s where the Perifit comes in. It’s fun to laugh until you pee your pants (but maybe not literally). For the gal who knows alllll about your birth, the subsequent changes that can happen to the body, and well, who might also pee her pants from time to time — help her get her pelvic floor back in working order (trust us, she’ll thank you). Use code NSFMG for 20% off.
Another gift that’s sure to please: the Pom vibrator from female-founded Dame. It’s waterproof in case the shower is the only place she can get a little me time. Use code NSFMG10 for 10% off.
Do your and your BFF have the “where the f*ck is my village conversation at least once a week?” The solution: give your gal the gift of community via a mom group membership. This will give her access to exclusive members-only meetups, expert drop-ins, close friends access on IG, and membership to the members-only Facebook group. All the support, all the time. For when your kids is melting down and you can’t pick up her call. We’ve got you.
Here’s one for your BFF, and one for you from women-owned jewelry designer Cut + Clarity. An updated take on the old school best friend necklace of our lost youth, each half of this gold charm can be engraved with the meaningful-to-you-two word of your choice. A gift you can feel good about: 20% of the proceeds go to Project Glimmer -- a national nonprofit dedicated to helping end racial and gender inequality. Use code NSFMG for 10%.
Go with your gut. Get your best pal a subscription to Seed's DS-01™ Daily Synbiotic to make up for all those late nights with a few too many cocktails and endless coffee dates (all incredibly worth it) that can take a toll on our tummies.
Another subscription we love to gift? Territory Foods. For the friend who feeds everyone but maybe neglects herself a little bit — nutritious meals from local chefs that she doesn’t even have to share. Use code NSFMG30 for 30% off.
You may recall our major fangirl moment earlier this year when we hosted an exclusive conversation with Eve Rodsky about her upcoming book centered on helping women find what lights them up and make space for it. “Find Your Unicorn Space: Reclaim Your Creative Life in a Too-Busy World” is a gift that will keep on giving.
We’re avid CBD fans at mom group because it actually freaking WORKS. Gift your gal a bundle from our favorite female founded CBD purveyor, Equlilibria, and make it personal and choose from relief, calm, balance, or sleep depending on what she needs the most. This will also give her access to her very own dosage specialist which feels very fancy and personal. Use code NSFMG for 25% off your first order.
You may not be taking a trip together anytime soon thanks to the panny, but that doesn’t mean you can’t daydream of laying on a beach together. The Monaco candle from Studio Nine Seven Two smells like jasmine and sea salt and may just transport her, at least temporarily.
Help your #1 give her back and diaper bag a rest with an ethically handcrafted crossbody bag from Able. It’ll hold all her essentials and even a diaper or two if she wants to feel light and free for a walk to the playground.
Is your pal expecting or in the throes of postpartum? This is the app we’ve all been waiting for. Skip the scary late night Google searches and give her access to some very real self care with 24/7 access to doulas, midwives and nurses via a membership to the Poppy Seed Health app.
Morgan Harper Nichols writes poetry that stays with you long after you read it. Her latest beautifully illustrated book “How Far You Have Come” reminds us that even during pain and hardship, we have overcome so much. This feels particularly fitting this year.
Mom-founded Shelter Isle pairs whimsical fonts with classic sweatshirts for a retro-meets-millennial vibe. We’re partial to her latest creation featuring the best borough.
Give the gift of lymphatic drainage (without a side of cultural appropriation). Mount Lai’s guasha stones and jade rollers are steeped in founder Stephanie Zheng’s family history. Her grandmother has been practicing jade rolling and gua sha for over 50 years. This gua sha set is the real deal.
