Mother's Day Gift Ideas

"If I didn't have you as a mom, I would choose you as a friend."

This year is my first Mother's Day and I couldn't be more excited!  Gift giving is something I love to do and I wanted to share some of the goodies I've come up with for gifts over the years, and a few that I wouldn't mind receiving.

--I am a huge fan of gifts with a theme.  How about throwing together some pampering items and wrap them up in a mason jar?  You can toss in Plumberry or Tart Deco nail polish and Flower Bomb rollerball perfume.  This is a subtle enough scent that any mom would love and totally safe to give as a gift.  Get the rollerball, it's cheaper!  You could include a variety of JR Watkins lotions (I love these!).  For an added chocolatey bonus for Mom, throw in my personal favorite, hazelnut truffles!  These truffles may (and should) be included in all the gifts below.

--If your mama is a coffee lover, you can't go wrong with a coffee press, cream and sugar jars, and a bag of her favorite Starbucks coffee.  Place in a gift bag, add tissue paper, and you're done!

--Or maybe a breakfast-in-bed themed gift?  You can grab a tasty jam, honey pot, and smoothie straws,  Top off with a fresh bouquet of flowers.

--If your mom is an herbs/spices fan, how about these herb markers, pizza seasoning, and herb mincer for an affordable, simple gift?

--Does your mama like cocktails (she and I should meet)?  How about creating a Mimosa Bar especially for her!  You can serve different kinds of orange juice in these fun containers, slice up some strawberries, peaches, and oranges, and top with some bubbly.  And, just maybe, she will share - score for you!  If you want to truly win her heart, throw in this Mimosa scented body wash for the perfectly themed gift (try not to drink it)!

Hope these ideas were inspiring and you find some unique ways to celebrate your Mama this year!

PSsssst.  Husband.  If you are reading, I'll take the mimosa bar!  We can pretend you thought of it all on your own.

HAPPY MAY DAY!!!!
