Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

Happy May 1st!

Omg May already?! Yikes.

I’ve talked about Mother’s Day a couple of times so far, but now that we are actually in May and the countdown is on, I wanted to post a little gift guide with some more ideas if you still need them.

1. Aurorae Scented Soy Wax Candle

Candles are always a good gift, but I like these from Aurorae because they come in a cute little tin and the scents are based on aromatherapy to go above and beyond the average candle. Plus, Aurorae is a yoga and spa retailer, so I think they know a thing or two about creating a relaxing environment. Their Lavender scented candle is their most popular, but I have personally tried the Tropical scent and it is amazing…perfect for mom to turn her home into a tropical oasis for spring/summer!

Bonus! During the month of May on Amazon, you can score 20% off Aurorae candles with code AYBLOG03 and all Aurorae yoga products are on sale with code AYBLOG14. Shop all Aurorae products on Amazon here!

Double bonus!! Enter the giveaway for an Aurorae Scented soy Wax Candle at the bottom of this post!

 

2. Nail Polish set

These colors are so pretty for spring and summer and will keep mom ready for sandals and flip-flops all season long.

 

3. Photo Canvas

So many sites are running Mother’s Day deals right now, pick one and order a large canvas print of her favorite family photo. Or be sneaky and have a photo taken of the kids and/or grandkids without her knowing and surprise her with the canvas print. She will love it! Our favorite place to order Canvas Prints is from Canvas on Demand…excellent quality and amazing customer service.

 

4. Pretty stationary (like this set from Rifle Paper Co.)

Help mom tackle her to-do list in style with pretty stationary. We can get lost in technology and sometimes it’s nice to get back to basics with handwritten notes, letters and lists. I found these pretty designs at Ginger P Designs, which also offers a subscription service…it’s the gift that keeps on giving. Even better…send her a handwritten card instead of an ecard.

 

5. Flowers (like these from TheBouqs.com)

I’m sorry, I know I’ve said it before, but it doesn’t get much easier than ordering a bouquet online and having it shipped directly to her door. This is such a great option for those that have moms that don’t live nearby (in which case, you’ll want to spring for the deluxe bouquet to make up for her not seeing you :P)

 

6. Pretty Mixing Bowls

Because cooking is more fun with bowls like this. Well, so I’ve heard…
