Mother's Day Gift Ideas.
Friday, April 20, 2012 at 10:13AM Sunday May 13th is Mother's Day! Yikes....that crept up quickly didn't it? And if it wasn't for the Hallmark display of 'Mother's Day' Cards in the local grocery store, the impending day wouldn't have even clicked yet!
It's a pretty special day really! If you're a Mum, it's a day all about YOU.....a day where YOU are celebrated & appreciated :) It's also a day when we celebrate & cherish our own Mothers, Grandmothers or motherly-figures in our life!
Stumped for ideas of what to give to your Mum this year? Or want to guide your kids/partner to a list of gift ideas {ones you'll actually love & use!} then here you are!! I've put together some ideas of good prezzies for Mum's....because even though we love them dearly, we can't all afford to shower them with Chanel or fly them abroad for a vacation :)
- A magazine Subscription is always a winner in my eyes. Whether it be a fashion mag, a gossip mag or a cooking mag...there's something for everyone. Subscibe online here.
- I'm a little bit obsessed with GlassHouse Fragrances at the moment. We have 2 of their gorgeous 'triple scented' candles in our home...and they are the best smelling candles I have EVER come across. So powerful but so scrumptious. Worth every penny! Details where to buy here!
- A gift voucher for a day spa, facial, massage parlour, hairdresser....anywhere where a woman can go to be truly relaxed & pampered & replenished :)
- A good bottle of wine with some fresh flowers is always appreciated. Or splash out & get a bottle of her favourite bubbly or some Moet. Something that she wouldn't normally buy herself.
- A good book. Google recent books that are popular but she hasn't read yet. Or I can recommend something uplifting like Miranda Kerr's Treasure Yourself book:
- If your budget agrees, you could go crazy & buy her a new iPad3 :) With an iTunes gift voucher so she can download & purchase some new tunes, app's, magazine & iBooks :)
- A personalised piece of jewellery is always very special to give to a Mother or Grandmother. I have bought several online for my Mum, friends, sister-in-laws, and they are always LOVED. Simply go to Etsy or Madeit and type in: Name Necklace, and you'll find a huge variety to choose from! This one is $25 from ImprintedDesigns on Etsy:
- Or hey, a print from my store is a nice idea :))))) I can recommend where to get some fab frames. They make a lovely custom gift!
Life is Beautiful Print: $16 {on sale at the moment} here!
All you need is Love: $11 {on sale at the moment} from HERE.
- And I know for a fact......one of the BEST gifts you could give a Mother {especially one of young children} is a day simply all about her! A day with a sleep-in, breakfast made for her, assist her with the chores, take her out to lunch, ensure the kids are smothering her with love & kisses....and remind her that she's wonderful....makes the world goes round....and that you LOVE her!
I could keep suggesting things, but I just wanted to plant a few seeds of ideas on what some Mothers may appreciate on their special day!!!!
Much Love,

Oh I think I could go all of the about Claire! Without a doubt that is one foolproof list that I will be showing my husband!x
I like all your suggestions Claire, especially the last one which sounds like my idea of a perfect Mother's Day - hope you get spoilt by Chris and your two cherubs x

Not a bad idea. I think i'll get my boyfriend one of these spa home treatments. He's been under a lot of stress lately.
