last minute mother’s day gift ideas

May 5, 2016

Happy Thursday! In the excitement of packing for and heading to London (and getting all of Will’s luggage packed up), Mother’s Day has completely snuck up on us. Realizing this only a few days before Mother’s Day…. and being more than just an overnight FedEx away, we had a little freak out.

Thankfully we just learned about Macy’s new online gifting service. Basically, you can send a gift via email, the recipient can adjust size and/or color and then it’s shipped free! We packed up our computer and headed to one of our favorite local cafés for coffee and online shopping- what a perfect combination! We found some great options for the moms on our list (including ourselves) which are available via Macy’s e-gifting service.

Always a favorite brand for home entertaining, this whole collection is perfect for the mom who loves to entertain
One gift that mom can never get enough of? A new perfume, which is what Jean has her eye on
For the sporty mom, this Kate Spade water bottle is an affordable price point at only $30 and these sneakers are a great option
This off-the-shoulder top is perfect for the trendy mom
A beautiful, floral robe is high on our gift ideas list
This hot pink crossbody is the perfect accent to any outfit
A cute pair of sandals (on Stia’s wishlist) or espadrilles for summer are always a fun gift for mom
If you are looking to spend under $50, this phone case is adorable!

rosé tasting and mother’s day gift ideas

April 25, 2016

For one of Jean’s birthday celebrations we did a rosé wine tasting (see all things rosé here), and many of you asked for details. We thought this could be a really fun idea for Mother’s Day, so here is how we set it up: Going with theme of rosé, we started with pink roses and hyacinth for the table, mixed in some white hydrangeas and made one large arrangement for the center of the table and a couple of bud vases. Our placemats are from Kitchen Paper. They make the cutest paper placemats and table runners!

The wines we tasted were a sparkling California rosé, a rosé from the Provence region of France, one from the Languedoc region of France and one from the Willamette Valley in Oregon. We tasted in that order, sparkling first, followed by the lightest in color, finishing with the darkest in color. Tasting and comparing rosés from different areas was really interesting and fun!

To help with your Mother’s Day planning, here are a few Mother’s Day gift ideas:

Farm Girl Flowers – the prettiest bouquets that consist of all American grown flowers and can be sent anywhere in the US!
Driving loafers: Let’s face it, our moms have been our personal chauffeurs for years. What better way to say thank you than a pair of driving loafers – in a rainbow of colors.
Pajamas: our absolute, most favorite pajamas ever!
Calligraphy set: For the artsy mom.
Initial Necklace: Love these oversized initial necklaces, plus a great deal at just $38!
Robe: the softest and coziest robe for mom to lounge in.
Coffee Table books: A book for every mom!
Fresh products: this soap, this lotion and this candle would be the perfect Mother’s Day gift.

PS: Still need a card? These cards are pretty cute!
