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!

Mother’s Day weekend is just a week away, so we wanted to share our Mother’s Day gift ideas to treat those special ladies in our lives!

Gold Champagne glasses– for the mom who loves celebrating with a glass of bubbly
Leopard Espadrilles– we all love leopard, so this is a no brainer, and a great price point! Other notable espadrilles for mom: this version with an ankle strap, a chambray stripe & a great can’t go wrong with black & white
Jewelry tray– an adorable tray for your mom to use for her jewelry or keys, and an every day reminder of how much you love her
Perfume set– any mom would love to receive a new scent for Mother’s Day, and this set includes perfume, lotion & a rollerball for her purse
Orange Fringe Clutch– for the trendy mom (and daughters who like to “borrow”) PS: Elaine Turner is offering bishop&holland readers 20% off site wide for the next week when using the code BandH20! Find this clutch here in three different colors, or shop the whole website!
Watch– we love the dot detailing of this watch and two straps are included, neutral and metallic gold. Great colors for summer!
Kendra Scott Earrings– a great neutral chandelier earring for your mom. Or, if statement earrings aren’t her thing, we also love these studs
Diptyque candle– you can’t go wrong with a candle, espeically one that smells as good as Baies. Another favorite candle to consider for your mom is this grapefruit scented one
Turkish Towel– the orange stripe is perfect for a beach day or picnic. We also think this would make a cute sarong if your family has an upcoming beach or resort vacation
Coffee Table Book– does your mom love coffee table books, fashion, and instagram? Then this is the perfect gift for her
Valentino Wedges– perfect for the mom who loves to mix a great neutral with a lot of color. We also love these espadrille wedges, this neutral pair, and this pair under $50

four seasons dallas: hydrafacial & giveaway

April 3, 2015

Skincare is something that has always been important to us. Unfortunately, we didn’t always listen to advice about wearing sunscreen and avoiding the tanning bed while growing up. And now that we are in our late 20’s and mid 50’s, our skin has started to see the effects of those days. This is where HydraFacial comes in. When we found out that Four Seasons Dallas is the only spa in North Texas that offers the HydraFacial, we knew we had to try it. Plus, we jump on any chance to spend the day at Four Seasons Dallas and be pampered! And, with the giveaway below, we want you to experience the same thing!

HydraFacial takes a five step approach: 1) cleanse 2) exfoliate 3) extract- not your typical extraction, it is painless! 4) hydrate and 5) protect. Prior to your treatment your skin is given a deep examination and diagnosis as to trouble areas or issues (clogged pores, dark spots, rosacea, diminishing collagen, melasma). Unlike other treatments, HydraFacial has no discomfort, the results are immediate and ongoing. Each of us feels like our skin is still glowing and improving after the treatment! Melissa, our esthetician, was so knowledgeable about each of our different skin types and the skin issues we are experiencing at our different ages. The HydraFacial is offered in a 60- minute session or 75-minute session, which includes LED light treatment.

The Spa at Four Seasons Dallas is so beautiful, and peaceful. The perfect place to relax and unwind! While one of us was receiving the treatment, the other two relaxed in the spa by utilizing the sauna, whirlpool, cold plunge pool and enjoying the spa smoothies. With Mother’s Day right around the corner, what better way to show her your love and appreciation than a spa day? We promise she will love it! Gift cards are available through Four Seasons for all spa treatments, room stays, dining experiences and at the Four Seasons location of your choice. All gift card purchases can be made directly from Four Seasons here.

And, to show our appreciation to all of our readers, we are giving away a $300 gift card to Four Seasons Resorts, good at any location in the world! Use the gift card for a HydraFacial and a day at The Spa, or choose your own experience, courtesy of Four Seasons!

PS: After the spa, head to the terrace for lunch & drinks… we highly recommend the margaritas!

To enter, follow the instructions below. Contest ends Wednesday, April 8th at 12:01 am and we will annouce winner Wednesday evening! Good luck!
