Mother's Day is a wonderful celebration of the strength, wisdom and the overall fabulousness of our mothers. Beyond their individual greatness, the wonderful (although sometimes trying) friendships we share are also something to uphold. When a mother and daughters' forces are combined there is no stopping us.

Here, two mother/daughter teams that have used their special bonds to form companies that exude style, innovation and, most importantly...friendship!

If you're at a loss for a last minute Mother's Day gift, look no further!

C.H.A.R.M

Founded in 2001, C.H.A.R.M is all about expressing your unique personality through jewelry. Leslie Slutsky (mother) and Lisa Slutsky Feldkamp (daughter) literally carry years of memories on their wrists through the charms that adorn their beloved bracelets. Together they decided that offering the same type of nostalgia to others would be their mission. The company  has over 300 14-karat gold charms that range in style from antique, modern, art-deco and everything in between. The duo also specializes in antique poker chip pieces. Now that's what I call a lucky charm!

SPECIAL OFFER: Save 10% on any purchases over $200 at C.H.A.R.M between now and May 11th

BAGGU

Watch out plastic bags...Joan and Emily Sugihara are a force to be reckoned with!  This mother and daughter team have joined the environmental preservation fight by designing stylish, practical and oh-so-easy reusable bags that the two hope will replace all their landfill-destined plastic counterparts. Made of a durable rip-stop nylon, the Baggu bags hold up to 25lbs and fold into a 5 by 5 inch pouch so they tuck nicely into your pocket or purse with ease. These bags make the perfect gift for all the special people in your life...and the Earth will thank you for it.

What is the most memorable Mother's Day gift you have ever given or received? I will never forget the jewelry box I made my mother during my Home Economics class in middle school. She still uses it!
