My 60-Year-Old Mom Has $200 to Spend atReplica Store—34 Items I'd Buy If I Were Her
If you ask me whether or not to buy someone a gift card, I'll tell you that it's impersonal and a bit of a yawn 90% of the time. The only time I praise them is when the recipient is anything like my mother, who rarely buys anything indulgent for herself and therefore needs the incentive to go out and splurge on something that's just for her.
That is why I was thrilled to find out that she'd been gifted with a $200 gift card to Nordstrom aka our department store. (Everyone has one that holds an extra-special place in their hearts.) I'm aware that she knows her way around Nordstrom just as well as I do from years of experience, but given how little time she spends shopping anymore, I took it upon myself to scour the entire contents of the store (no really, I did) to help her get busy spending it. Below, find 34 under-$200 items that I'd pick if I were my gift-card-holding 60-year-old mom.
My mom's never been one to enjoy an uncomfortable, super-tight pair of jeans, unlike me, who spent most of my high school years in denim that stretched as much as Skims's bodysuits when you put them on. A relaxed silhouette like this one has always been much more her style.
Speaking of walking the dogs, when the weather is even slightly too wet or messy for her current favorite boots (she got a pair of off-white Sam Edelman boots during one of the recentReplica Store sales and wears them constantly), these waterproof clogs would be the perfect alt.
