May 11, 2018

If you waited until the last minute to start shopping for Mother’s Day gifts, TheGrio’s got you covered.

Whether you’re shopping for your mom, your wife, or your BFF, we’ve got a rundown of some of the greatest gifts you can give to honor the special lady in your life this weekend.

Tea from Nya Tea

Nya tea was born in Los Angeles and is sourced globally. The black-owned company’s mission is to curate the highest quality, hand blended teas with the utmost care. Each blend is crafted with special attention to design and production, ensuring that everyone who comes into contact with NYA TEA has the most pure experience. Our fave is Bara Vara, a blend that gently fuels you with a cup full of anti-inflammatory properties, thanks to the wondrous root, turmeric. This blend assists you in maintaining your very best self at all times. Boosted with a hint of black pepper and ginger and balanced by the sweetness of apple and a splash of lemon.

Price: Use special code (GrioTea) to knock $9 off an exclusive set of three (3.5 oz.) special blends that include Elysian Park, Bars Vara, and Mercedes Gonzales.

If you need a gift for the mom on the go, what could be better than sneakers she doesn’t have to lace up or tie? The new spring collection from PLAE comes in bold colors and super comfy styles that flatter any outfit and make a statement with zero hassle. Our personal faves are the Larkin design which come in heavenly hues perfect for Spring including canary, flamingo, and peacock.
