Mother's Day is coming, and we're excited to celebrate all the moms in our life with flowers, homemade cards, and brunch in bed. If the headlines are true (and trust us - they are), moms have struggled over the last year to manage the increased demands of home, school, work, and family. So this year, we're planning to give mom some extra love and attention to show her how much we appreciate her. 

We turned to Partake Founder and CEO, Denise Woodard, to ask what's on her Mother's Day list. As the mom behind the brand, Denise is always in the know on the greatest products, be it food, home goods, or relaxation.  

Read on for our favorite gifts for mom.

Buttah’s vision is to give melanin rich skin the attention it deserves and truly love the skin you’re in. The products help those with multicultural tones get glowing skin as smooth as butter.

Grace Eleyae

Grace Eleyae makes modern hair protection that actually works. Their stylish silk and satin lined products help eradicate bed head, frizz, breakage and more. The satin protects while the stylish exterior allows you to protect your hair whenever you want.

Grace Eleyae was founded in 2014 after Grace took a trip to Kenya. During a bumpy 8-hour car ride, all the hair on the back of her head broke off - the result of her chemically straightened hair and constant friction against the headrest. Years and 1000+ 5 star reviews later, Grace Eleyae is a leader in the hair protection game.
