The Ultimate Mother’s Day Gift Guide

Looking for a little help in finding something special for Mom? Check out our list of fun and inspired gifts moms love.

Gardening

• Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme. An indoor herb garden is a gift to gardeners and chefs alike. 
• Flowers. Specifically, a live flower or plant that she can transplant into the garden.
• Garden tool basket. For moms with a green thumb, a handy carry-all will have her thinking of you every time she reaches for her trowel.

Relaxation

• Custom soaps. Use a cookie cutter to create shapes like hearts, flowers, etc.
• Candles. With scents like wild honeysuckle and pomegranate peony, spring-scented candles will add a lovely and relaxing ambiance. 
• Robe and slippers. A silky new robe and some fleece-lined slippers will make her feel all kinds of pampered.

Foodie

• Homemade brunch.  Return the many years of meals she’s made with her favorite pancakes or omelet, and some mimosas. Make sure someone is on kitchen clean up, too.
• Favorite cookbook.  Is her cooking bible going out of date? Today’s cookbooks are charming collections of recipes and stories, many with gorgeous photography. 

Techie

• iPhone or e-reader cover. Update her phone or e-reader with a fun new cover.
•  Personalized tablet. If you and your sibs live far away, give Mom some face time with a tablet. All of you can go in on this one. Load it up with pix of you and the kids, her fave books and movies. And instructions for how to video chat.

Fitness

• FitBit. Indulge her newfound love of Zumba! Encourage her health kick. The Fitbit Flex is simple and tracks stats like number of steps and calories burned.
• Walking shoes. Super lightweight, flexible, and oh-so-stylish!

Classics

• Gourmet chocolates. Satisfy her sweet tooth with gourmet chocolate goodies, like decadent truffles or salty caramels.  
• Cut roses.  If you can't be there in person to deliver hugs and kisses, what better way to say "Happy Mother's Day" than by sending a dozen red roses? 

Mother’s Day is Approaching… How will you appreciate your mom?

Our mothers are so special, one day isn’t nearly enough to recognize their role in our lives. (As more than one mother has opined, shouldn’t EVERY DAY be Mother’s Day?)  This year, on the day set aside to remind us how much we love them, we have a couple of ways to make your mom feel special!

1.     Going out for breakfast/brunch is nice, but staying in and cooking for her is even better. It doesn’t have to be complicated. Just make what she likes!

2.     Flowers are a classic, but always a mom-pleaser. A huge bunch of her favorites will make her smile. If she’s a gardener, a live plant will be a huge hit!

3.     Do something she really wants to do. Take her someplace she’s always wanted to go but never had the time. It’s an opportunity to hang out together and learn something new about her!

4.     Find a unique gift that embodies what she loves, whether it’s cooking, reading, gardening, crafts, music, sewing, dancing, etc. She’ll appreciate the effort you put into it.

5.     Mother’s Day is the perfect excuse for families that may be spread out to spend the day together – whether you stay home and bake cookies, or head out to the zoo.  

6.     If you have the time and/or money, take her away for the weekend to a spa, hotel or bed and breakfast. Let someone else pamper her with luxurious surroundings and good food.

No matter what you do for you mother on her special day, make sure to thank her for all of the love and care that she gives to you – everyday.

Ps. Our models will be open this Mother's Day!
