8 ways to spoil Mom – Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

It’s not too late to get your mother a wonderful gift for the 12th! Here are some of my favorite gift picks, including a DIY coupon book your Mom will love.

gifts-1

1. Vitamix blender  - I’ve had my eye on this blender for awhile now… It makes healthy smoothies, shakes, soups, ice cream and even milk!  Any mom will put this blender to great use (and you’ll also reap the tasty benefits).

2. Crane & Canopy bedding  - Crane & Canopy has gorgeous bedding sets and at pretty amazing prices. Best of all, as part of their”A Safe Night’s Sleep” program, for every set you buy, they donate a set to Safe Horizon.

3. DIY Flower tote - This amazing DIY was on Creature Comforts earlier this week & it’s such a fun, fresh idea to brighten your Mom’s day.

4. Coin Pearl Necklace by Double V – This dainty pearl necklace is edged in 24k gold. It’s a fresh update to the classic pearl necklace, versatile for everyday wear and only $61.

gifts-2

5. Printable Mother’s Day coupons  - Download this PDF and cut out this DIY coupon book! Offers include one afternoon tea, one round of constructive criticism and one coffee date for two! There’s really no better gift you can give than some mother-daughter bonding time.

6. Sunflower scarf - A lightweight, floral scarf is a stylish, affordable gift that your Mom can use to stay warm on spring and summer nights.

7. DIY jewelry stand & tray - This is such a great DIY gift idea from A Bubbly Life – you can customize it with your Mom’s favorite colors and patterns, and include some jewelry to get her started!

8. Stationary – She can use stationary like these beautiful notecards from Etsy shop WhenItRains all year round.
