It’s time to start thinking about what Mom wants this year….either your own mother, or yourself if you are a mom (since you are more than welcome to use these suggestions as hints for your husband or children)! I have a list of fun and sentimental ideas to share with you today….plus two great giveaways….so be sure to stick around.

A vintage-inspired flirty apron from momomadeit’s Etsy shop would be more than welcome. (I know — it was my Mother’s Day gift last year!)

A custom mother’s necklace would be a sentimental, meaningful choice, such as this one from Kennebug Boutique.

A Flip Mino Series Camcorder. This was my birthday gift this year from my intuitive husband. Finally, a way to digitally capture snippets and longer length videos of your kids and family without having to keep up with tapes and such. And it’s cute!
Brunch in. Instead of fighting restaurant crowds, treat Mom to a leisurely, homemade brunch at home. Here are some tips on how to pull it off.

A magazine subscription is a lovely idea, especially the most feminine, graceful, inspirational ones such as Martha Stewart Living or Real Simple.

Mrs. Meyer*s hand soaps (or any products) are wonderfully perfumed. Even cleaning house won’t seem like such drudgery when Mrs. Meyer*s is brought in. The geranium and basil scents are especially yummy.

Silhouette note cards debuting her most prized possession, her family, is a thoughtful idea. These beauties can be found at Le Papier Studio.
