Seeing as how Mother's Day is kind of around the corner, I figured I should look into some things my 2 moms would like (2 moms being my actual mom and my new mom in law).
Anywho, here's what I came up with:
****** If you happen to be my mom or my husbands mom, please stop reading now and skip this post until 5/10/10. Thank you for your cooperation. ***********
note: these lovelies are not for sale but there is a recipe for them here!
another note: her blog is awesome, check it out.
note: while these lovelies cost a whopping $30 (for TWELVE) and are far more cost efficient to make at home, mine never look this pretty. If you are too lazy to make them pretty but still want these for your mum you can buy them here.
Almost all ladies love flowers and I'm certain most moms are included in that. These lovelies are lilacs (Syringa Prairie Petite to be exact) and sadly currently sold out. However you can buy similar plants from here for about $30.
another uber simple but easy to personalize gift:
custom mousepads from here for about $10 :)
I don't know how many of you ever had parents that did this but growing up my parents didn't spend too much money on birthday's or Christmas... heck they don't do that now either :) anywho, for many years I'd get these homemade coupons (good for one free trip to the ice rink, good for one free movie of your choice to watch with mom and dad, good for one free breakfast in bed) and loved them - these are coupons specifically for moms! Priced at $9 from here, I think these are adorable.
This one made me laugh too much to keep to myself. It's priced at $4.50.
Check here to see the inside and to order.
And Happy (almost) Mother's Day!
