Hi friends!! As mothers day approaches I wanted to share some gift ideas for the moms and mother figures in your life! I also included things I love or might want for myself in case you need to send some ideas to a loved one :)

Things I Love OR Would Want for Myself

• My fave fancy personal care items - this luxurious body oil that feels and smells amazing, jet lag hydrating eye patches, almond hand cream that I like to keep in my car ,and this restoring hair mask that I use every couple showers.
• The Perfect Cashmere Sweater - my sister recently sent me a link to this cashmere crewneck in the bubblegum pink and now I want the Cerulean Blue color! Cashmere is a fave for spring/early summer chilly nights because it is light AND warm. This Quince cashmere sweater is also incredibly chic. Love the pink color.
• Espadrille Mary Jane - I think these are going to be SUCH a cute alternative to sneakers or ballet flats in the summer. I have had them in my cart for a while and I'm waiting for a sale to pull the trigger.
• Perfume for the people who hate perfume - Orebella sent me a few different scents and I fell in love with this one! It smells like a lovely earthy candle instead of a sickly sweet and floral scent that lingers in the air. I feel like its the perfect amount of smell like you could truly only smell it if you gave me a hug. I also love this jasmine blues one because jasmine is one floral scent I enjoy and this one is mixed with eucalyptus.
• Simple gold hoops - you know I wear simple gold hoops almost every day and I have my eye on this pair right now. You can use code TAKE20 for 20% off! I also want this bangle in gold for summer events.

Things I'd Buy for My Mom or Mother In Law

• PJs, PJs, PJs!!! - I have never been sad about a fresh PJ set. I have a lot of recommendations in different price brackets so lets get into it!
  • Splurge worthy - these are my all time favorite pajamas. 100% cotton, so amazing and worth the money.
  • Under $100 - cute stripes, 100% cotton and perfect for spring! Love a PJ set that is short sleeves with long pants - perfect for sleep temp.
  • Under $50 - I own and love this cotton poplin PJ set and on sale its just $24 - here is the top and bottom! You know I love this poplin PJ set (especially when its on sale!) and this new print for summer is too cute.
• A home for the bees - this pollinator house was one of the most popular gifts I shared at the holidays. They can set it up in their garden to help the pollinators thrive this summer!!
• Tinned Fish - a weird one? Maybe! But if you have a heath conscious mom like me, then this makes sense! My mom would LOVE a fancy tinned fish set that also comes with a beautiful scarf.
• Golf, Tennis, Pickle Dresses - my mom is always doing something active and if yours is the same here are some dresses I have my eye on for her!!
  • ​Pleats and pattern! So cute! But definitely a splurge
  • ​Sleeveless with a convenient back pocket - love the periwinkle color
  • ​Cutest pink and green stripes! Love that this one has sleeves and a color for certain dress codes. This is the same color scheme, but in a sleeveless tank dress that is great for tennis!
  • ​Pleated mini dress - this one makes me want to get out on the tennis court!!
• Cute totes - If your mom or mother in law needs a bag refresh here are some that i've had my eye on a butter yellow canvas tote, woven packable tote perfect for the beach, farmers market or other errands, or this green gingham canvas tote that you can personalize with monogram.
• For the entertainer - I love this splatter bowl for serving salads or pasta salads. I actually just grabbed it for myself in green! I've had my eye on this cheery welcome mat - perfect for summer. This set of ice cream bowls just screams grandma whos looking to spoil the grandkids with sweets.

What I'd Get for the Mom Who Insists "I really don't want anything!!"

• Fancy Swedish Candy - I LOVE an edible gift when someone says "please no gifts!" BonBon candy is my current obsession and the gift boxes are beautifully wrapped, fun and delicious. Also, if you aren't going to be with your Mom on mothers day, this is easy to ship right to her!
• The CUTEST Personalized Stationary - I feel like everyone can use a notepad, grocery list, or (my personal favorite) this task pad and notecard set. Everything from Joy Creative Shop is SO cute and joyful! They make sending a thank you note fun.
• For a crafty mom - if you have a mom who likes to do things with her hands you could get her this intro embroidery set that walks her through 30 days of mini projects. I also love the idea of this watercolor workbook and I might even grab it for myself :)
• Ice Cream to Share - my mom would say she doesn't want anything, but then also be so happy to share this ice cream set from Jeni's (my favorite!!)
• Nice cooking ingredients - this olive oil and vinegar set from Brightland comes in a gorgeous gift set or this mini bottle set that has flavored olive oils. My mom LOVES these infused salt tins because you can easily take them on the go! I have seen her pull one out at a restaurant lol
