Hey friends!! Happy Friday! It’s gray and super rainy today so we are spending the day watching the Sound of Music and playing inside.
With Mother’s Day around the corner, I wanted to share a few GIFT ideas and ways to make a MOM or other special lady in your life feel admired and APPRECIATED! Now, that I’m a mom, I realize that there are so many things that my mom did that I NEVER even noticed or appreciated. EEK…sorry Mom! 🙂 So, let’s make those mamas feel loved and special…..Here are 10 categories of my FAVORITE gift ideas and ways to make special memories with your mom! xo
- The GIFT of Time: Make a homemake card or homemade gift card for a special afternoon date with your mom…think lunch and nails or lunch and a beach walk…really whatever you think that she would like. Making a homeward and giving the gift of time and a fun memory is always a win in my book. I know so many other special ladies that would feel the same.
- Outdoorsey Gift Ideas: I LOVE these beach blankets from the Beach People, THESE New Balance Shoes, and THIS super safe sunscreen {not greasy at all}! I’m constantly in tennis shoes these days! The beach blanket is lovely and thick…great for those sandy, summer days ahead!
- Beauty Gift Ideas: You all know how much I love safe beauty products. This gift set from Beautycounter would be great for a mom as well as these masks {Charcoal and Brightening are my favorites}, this SUGAR SCRUB, BODY BUTTER, THESE Lip Glosses, and THIS eye cream!
- Summer Fun Purse Ideas: I LOVE a great straw/beach bag. THESE by Mar y Sol are my favorites. I’ve had mine for 4 summers now and it still looks new. I also love THESE picnic summer bags….a good price point and AMAZING quality! 🙂
- A Good Ol’ Coffee Mug: I LOVE this mug {UNDER $20}! It’s so sweet. For some reason, I love coffee mugs….I mean my coffee is always cold or re-heated but the mug always makes my morning or afternoon. AND, THIS MUG from Amazon keeps your coffee super hot! My husband gave it to me for Christmas!
- Something that She Wouldn’t buy Herself: I LOVE these dresser organizers….the tray jewelry box is so feminine and delicate. I LOVE these leather travel makeup bags from Cuyana that go with THIS matching travel jewelry box. These are my favorite tassel earrings as well!
- A Personalize Necklace: I LOVE these by Made by Mary…so delicate and precious. You can personalize the various options however you may see fit.
- A Beautiful Throw Blanket or New Sheets: I mean, who doesn’t LOVE clean and NEW fresh sheets?! What a treat! 🙂 This throw blanket is so cozy too and perfect for summer!
- PAJAMAS or a ROBE: I LOVE these ROBES by Plum Pretty Sugar. I personally love this one in blush {SIZE UP becuase they run small}. I love THESE everyday, organic cotton short set. The Coyuchi cotton is seriously so soft and cozy. I love THESE by Lake Pajamas {they have MATERNITY, TOO} and this silk short set from Kate Spade {also runs small so SIZE UP}.
- Creating MEMORIES: So, this one goes off of the whole idea of time…so think of a gift that centers around TIME. We got patio furniture this year because we wanted to spend more time as a family in our backyard!! YAY! The kids love it out there and my husband and I love chatting over a glass of wine in our little backyard. Last year, we went to Charleston as a gift for Mother’s Day, my birthday, and our anniversary, ALL in ONE! It was seriously the best. The year prior, we went on a day trip around VA and created fun memories as a family. So, if this whole idea of making memories suits you, think of a gift that centers around that! 🙂 ONE more gift idea that I LOVE is this PINBOARD….Minted has always been a favorite of mine. I love these boards that one can create….that would be the perfect gift. You can fill it with special mementos of memories created along the way.
