Still haven’t found the perfect Mother’s Day gift? Well, look no further! Strolby has an amazing collection of locally made, limited-production goods from the best small shops in Brooklyn and the Hudson Valley in a single online marketplace.

Strolby decided to start their first market in Brooklyn in 2013 because of all the amazing small shops run by innovative designers and artisans.

Strolby launched it’s second location in The Hudson Valley in April, 2014 and plan to expand to more markets this year and in 2015!

Recently I’ve been thinking more about shopping locally. I just went to a shopping event over the weekend made up of local Los Angeles artists. It was really nice to have all the local artists in one place. And that’s exactly what Strolby.com is – a place to shop all the best local shops from the comfort of your own home! I grew up on the East Coast so I love the idea of being able find a unique gift from New York while shopping from my couch in California (or anywhere!). It’s also nice to know you are contributing to a local economy and supporting amazing artisans in the process. Strolby also produces daily editorial content where you can keep up to date on Brooklyn events and culture and also includes detailed features on the independent artists that contribute to Strolby.

But back to Mother’s Day! Strolby has put together a Mother’s Day Gift Ideas section to make it easier to find gifts (in all price ranges) that your Mom might like! Plus FREE shipping on orders over $50!

Even if you don’t need a gift for Mother’s Day you can find something for yourself! Browse their amazing collection of items for women, men and children. They also have home decor, beauty products, food items and books. The great thing is each shop has a small profile so you can learn more about the artists you are buying from. Here are my top five picks from Strolby – for Mother’s Day or for any occasion ;-).

1) Doily Earrings – Delicate, gold plated earrings. So pretty!
2) Small Penguin Mug – How cute is this mug from? Small porcelain mug screen printed with an original penguin illustration. You can also get a matching bowl!
3) Pyrite Cuff – A handmade bracelet with crushed pyrite on an adjustable brass cuff.
4) Anomoly Planter – Unique handmade planter. Love the trademark tentacles wrapping around the pot. This piece is a part of the Anomoly Series from Jonathan Castro.
5) DC Cherry Blossom Soy Candle – This candle will hopefully remind you of DC when the cherry blossoms are in bloom! You can also find signature scents from other cities – Malibu, Boston, Savannah, Oahu and East Hampton. You can also get these scents in perfume oils and travel sprays!
