What’s more flattering that your daughter wanting to be just like you? Indulge her (and yourself!) with these adorable “Mommy and Me” gift ideas…

Celebrate Mother’s Day with a sunny day and a splash in the pool! We recommend these cute matching lime green polka-dotted swimsuits by Boden (women $64, kids $28). Mom can get some sun in the flattering boyleg one-piece, perfect for accentuating shapely legs! It also features an adjustable halterneck, removable pads, a scooped back and a nylon-spandex blend – emphasizing comfort AND curves. Meanwhile, girls will feel grown-up by looking like mommy, but also girly because of her playful ruffled skirt. Purchase at Bodenusa.com.

Most women (even the little ones) love flowers – so buy mommy a bouquet and put them in these darling complementary “Mom” and “Baby” vases by Beth Mueller. (Daisies would be SO adorably matched.) Both are shaped like a milk jug and have this delicate, nostalgic feel. The “Baby” vase features a tiny pink & blue rattle and simply inscribed with “baby.” The “Mom” vase has a picture of mixed wildflowers and the word “mom” below it. Available at GiveSimple.com. SPECIAL: Enter promo code “DAILYOBSESSION” at checkout for 10% your entire order until May 11.

Head into the summer months with an easy, lightweight cover-up — the tunic! These embroidered turquoise tunics by Cabana Life offer 50+UV protection, thus blocking out 98% of UV rays – so you can be stylish and safe! Fans include Madonna, Gwyneth Paltrow, Marcia Gay Harden, and Lisa Kudrow. Comes with a matching beach tote. Retails for $89 and $49 at eGiggle.com.

Little girls love to imitate their moms by getting dolled up in their makeup. This year, keep your little one out of her makeup stash and pamper mom with a tiny beauty treat! The e.l.f. Hypershine Mini Interchangeable Cell Phone Lip Gloss Charm ($5) are a set of 8 sheer mini-glosses that will charge lips with shine and sweetness! These beauty charms won’t take up any room in mom’s purse and are perfect for touch-ups. Share them with your daughter, who will be delighted that she gets to be “just like mommy.” Buy at eyeslipsface.com.

Matching outfits can be tacky, but these strappy shoulder tie belted shirt dresses by Steven Alan (women $168, kids $98) definitely are not. The cotton fabric is breathable for May breezes and the drop waist is quite flattering. Similar matching dresses are available in the adorable “Christine” button down style (women $180, kids $98). Available at Steven Alan.
