Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

Have I mentioned before that I hate gift guides? It’s all fun & games until someone suggests gifting a $45 candle or some outrageously priced purse.  It is rare to find one that actually has practical gift giving items. I also hate getting roped into some secret-santa-bullshit at Christmas where you give an anonymous gift to an anonymous person, requiring you to spend $20 on a gift that would suit both an 85 year old man or a 20 year old girl. Not for me.
I pride myself on being a good gift giver. 
I especially love giving themed gifts. A good way to put together a festive gift for someone is to pick up a bunch of things of the same color! Even if they don’t necessarily go together, a nailpolish, chapstick, planner, bag of striped straws & coffee mug would be a totally perfect gift when they’re all the same color! 🙂 My friend & I have been doing this for each others birthdays for years! 
With that said, here is my idea of a perfectly themed gift, a modern take on the two most traditional Mother’s Day Gifts: a bouquet of flowers or breakfast in bed!
Using a large mason jar (which doubles as a perfect vase for flowers), fill it with these Floral Socks, a Seed Bomb & a Flowerbomb Perfume Roller. Flowerbomb Perfume never disappoints, it has been my favorite perfume for a thousand years & is a totally safe, subtle scent to give as a gift.
A creative twist on breakfast in bed can be made up of this affordable & modern Coffee Press, Glass Jam Jar, Honey Pot & these Ceramic Cream & Sugar Containers. You know how I feel about white ceramic items. You could also include a bag of coffee, fresh bread or muffins & a jar of homemade jelly from your local farmers market.
Does your mama like cocktails? (If so, tell her I said hello) How about a Mother’s Day Mimosa Bar! You can easily whip this up with a few kinds of orange juice accompanied with a yummy champagne, fruit & festive straws! And if you want to be a true gift-giving-baller, throw in this amaaaaaaaaazing Mimosa Body Wash. But try not to drink it.
Of course this calls for a picture of me with my mama…. and little-teeny-tiny-chubby-wubby-squishy baby Harpie.
Hope these ideas were helpful & you feel extra inspired to find fun ways to celebrate your mamas this year! 🙂 HAPPY MAY DAY!

PSsssst. Husband. If you’re reading this. I’ll take the mimosa bar. We can pretend that you thought of 
it all on your own.

Impulsively painted this little powder/laundry roo Impulsively painted this little powder/laundry room green and I’m obsessed. Sacrificed just one sweatshirt and my favorite pair of socks because I was way too lazy to change into painting clothes but overall: worth it. Also don’t look too close, 100 year old plaster walls are the opposite of smooth. On the hunt for some fun art next!! Swipe for before and afters 🖤
