Finding the perfect gift for Mother's Day is both fun and stressful.

You want to find a unique gift your mom will remember and truly love. Of course, if you give her something she does not really like, she will still say she loves it and give you a big hug, but you want to find something that she will REALLY enjoy and use often.

If your mom has ever been to Alaska, likes things from Alaska, or if you think she enjoys unique items that happen to be from Alaska, you are in the right place.

At Voyij, we have the most extensive collection of Alaskan art, jewelry, unique keepsakes, and everything else from Alaska. The best part is you buy directly from local merchants and artisans, supporting the local economy.

Here are some items from Alaskan businesses we think your mom, grandmom, mother-in-law, or great-grandma will enjoy.  

Brooks Range Bracelet 

The Brooks Range is an extensive mountain range in Northern Alaska, stretching over 700 miles from west to east. While this range is generally uninhabited, the Dalton Highway and the Trans-Alaska Pipeline run through the Atigun Pass to Prudhoe Bay. Even though usually vacant of people, several Alaska Native villages call this area home.  

This bracelet is an interpretation of this majestic mountain range, captured in 3 natural leather rings with multiple stainless-steel beads representing the various passes through the range. If your mom has been to the Brooks Range or Northern Alaska and mentioned how amazing that trip was, this is the best gift. Even if she's never been to Alaska, this high-quality, timeless bracelet is an amazing present.  

Handmade Living Edge (Arc) Wine Bottle Holder

 
For that extra special bottle of celebration or to set off mom’s kitchen with a touch of Alaskan personality, look no further than these bottle holders made by The Great Alaskan Bowl Company from Fairbanks. 

The Great Alaskan Bowl Company is one of only a few mills in the country that still manufactures these unique bowls and bottle holders, using equipment designed from the machinery developed over 100 years ago. 

By cutting only two to five 13" or larger trees per acre, The Great Alaskan Bowl Company is a responsible steward of the forest. In addition, this process promotes a healthier forest by allowing sunlight to reach the smaller, developing trees. 

This is not only a one-of-a-kind gift, but mom will find it super useful and use it on special occasions when serving her favorite wine. 

Made in Alaska Merino Wool Neckwarmer

A Wool neck warmer is the perfect addition to mom's winter wardrobe. 

This Merino neck warmer will keep mom warm and cozy when the temperatures drop, whether skiing or snowboarding, camping for weeks, or just around town. 

The Merino neck warmer is made in the same design as the classic silver fiber Geo Neck Gaiters but is made even cozier with 100% Merino wool. 

This beautiful gift will keep mom warm even on the coldest winter days; great for Nordic skiing, downhill skiing, winter hikes, snowshoeing, or just going out on a cold day. 

Sensory Fur Lap Blanket

Sea Otter Fur has played a significant role in the cultural history of Alaska Natives. Only they can legally harvest, craft, and sell these goods today. 

Sea Fur Sewing is a small home-based Alaska Native-owned studio specializing in handcrafted indigenous fur creations combining both culture and current trends in fashion. Owner Robert Miller and his team make fur hats, mitts, and other items that keep people warm and make them part of Tlingit culture. Their furs are sold throughout the USA and made by Alaska Native artisans.

This sensory fur lap blanket combines the soft textures and colors of 5 to 7 fur assortments. The blanket includes Sea Otter Fur, Polar Bear Fur, Alaskan Timber Wolf, Beaver, Coyote, and Fox fur. The blanket measures 30" by 50", is backed with Black Cashmere, and has a 3" sea otter fur trim.

Aurora Borealis Leggings 

Nothing says Alaska more than the northern lights or the Aurora Borealis. Now imagine combining this marvelous show of light with comfy leggings. 57 Peaks did that with their Aurora Borealis design featuring a shimmering green wave extending up the outside of each leg, evoking the feelings you might have when admiring nature's nighttime masterpiece. 

Described as "Soft. As. Butter." "Wonderful material." "Miracle leggings. "These custom-designed polyester/spandex leggings are made of a comfortable microfiber yarn, and they'll never lose their stretch. Suitable for casual or upscale settings, in the studio, or on the trail. 

Star of Alaska Whale Tail Pendant with Double Inlay 

Covellite found in nature is one-of-a-kind, just like your mom. That is why this whale tail pendant with 14-karat gold makes for an amazing Mother's Day gift.

Hand-cut and made from covellite from the Kennicott Mines in the Wrangell-St. Elias Mountain range, this exclusive piece of art, comes with a certificate of authenticity.

The production from the Kennecott Mine is considered the finest quality Star of Alaska jewelry because it was found in large, pure, massive pieces. The mine opened in 1906 and closed permanently in 1938, making the gems scarce. For years, the stones for the original pieces were on a private estate. Making them extremely unique. 

Wooly Mammoth Ivory Teardrop Earrings with Blue Beads 

Woolly mammoth ivory is a naturally preserved remnant from the last ice age 200,000 years ago when mammoths roamed what is now present-day Alaska and Yukon. 

These genuine woolly mammoth teardrop earrings with sterling silver and blue beads are a piece of history and one of the best ways to remember a trip to Alaska or give to mom, especially if she loves history, fashion, Alaska, or all 3! 

Alaskan Ulu Knives 

The ulu is a traditional knife that Native Alaskans have used for thousands of years. Throughout the years, the materials have changed, but the semicircular design that makes the ulu so versatile and easy to use remains. From cutting meat and seafood, splitting hides, and making clothing, ulu knives are very versatile tools.
