Last Minute Mother’s Day Shopping? 5 LA-based E-commerce Brands To Consider

What’s better than supporting your local economy? Supporting your local economy from the comfort of your home. Online stores have physical locations too, and in an effort to support our local scene, we put together a list of 5 LA-based online brands perfect for last minute Mother’s Day shopping:

Carbon38 for the sporty, fashion-forward mom.

Built on the notion that fashion should support an active lifestyle, Carbon38 offers a complete women’s line ranging from active-wear and swimwear to dresses and accessories. While their leggings top the best-sellers list, this bag is a safe option if you want to avoid guessing your mom’s size.

Casetify for the mom with flare.

If your mom is anything like mine, she’s attached to her phone 24/7. At least with Casetify, that means she can look cool 24/7 as well. This LA brand offers a wide range of incredible designs for phone and computer cases. For example: there’s a classic floral look, a realistic broken glass look, or if you really want to get on your mom’s good side — they offer a customized look. You can upload a picture of your smiling self or a memory from that favorite family trip, and yea, I’m sure your mom will love it.

Groundwork Coffee for the super mom.

You’ve probably heard of Groundwork by now, as they have 8 cafes spread throughout LA, but they also offer a quality e-commerce experience. As one of the first certified organic coffee roasters in Southern California, they are built on strong values like sustainability, and fair-trade. Mom’s that love coffee will love Groundwork, and their signature blends and merchandise is available online. Coffee is probably not your first thought when it comes to Mother’s Day, but go this route, and she’ll be thinking of you every morning.

Ashlyn’d for the designer mom.

Built by an LA trio, that includes a mother/daughter team, Ashlyn’d specializes in unique clutches and evening bags. All their items are handcrafted by local LA artists, and they focus on a nature-inspired look. With many items hitting a $400+ price point, it’s not for everyone, but the high quality, eye-catching look can make a stellar gift.

Juice Served Here for the healthy mom.

Another LA brick n’ mortar brand with an exceptional e-commerce site, Juice Served Here offers delicious cold-pressed, raw, and organic juices. Now don’t shy away if your mom isn’t into cleanses, you can customize an 8-pack with anything from their green mixes to refreshing lemonades.

In the end, you know your mom best, but hopefully one of these brands hit home — or at least triggered some other ideas. Happy mother’s day to my mom and all mom’s out there.
