Mother’s Day Gift Guide
Motherhood is such a gift. A beautiful, refining, and joy filled gift. In our season of waiting for our sweet babe, I was reminded of what an honor this role is. Mama’s you are doing the hard work, the worthy work, the holy work. Raising little ones is not for the faint of heart, but gosh what an honor it is.
I thought it’d be fun to put together a little gift guide filled with “treat yourself” gift ideas. Because let’s be honest, as mama’s we often put ourselves last. I hope you make time for YOU this week mamas, and everyday, because we can’t pour from an empty cup. :) You are so deserving sweet mama friends!
Mama Gift Guide
Baskets & Containers to organize pantry // this is such a little thing, but I am SO excited to organize our pantry and make it beautiful and functional for our little family.
CFL Mama Mug // Sarah at Chalk Full of Love creates so many beautiful things! It’s been so fun to watch her become a momma this past year too as her little one is just a few months younger than Ollie. I love this classic mama mug. She also just launched a whole mother’s day collection recently too. I’ve always wanted to order her seasonal surprise boxes too - they would make the perfect treat yourself gift! Such fun happy mail to look forward too. :)
Birkenstock Sandals // I’ve never splurged on real Birkenstocks, still wearing my ten dollar Target cheapies;) but I’ve never heard a friend say that they don’t love theirs! & they seem to last forever! Such a great summer staple to throw on with anything.
Candelles Candle // There’s just something about the soft cozy flicker of a candle that can’t be beat. :) I love that this little shop has uses free wicks, natural oils and fragrances, and all natural soy. So many dreamy scents on my wishlist! Pink Champagne, Cabin Getaway, and Fig & Sugar to name a few. ;) Pick your favorites and grab your 25% off coupon :)
Anthro inspired Oily Pouch // Carry your oils on the go in this adorable anthro inspired oily pouch from Baggage & Co.
Fiddle Leaf Tree & Plant Stand // Because I cannot keep a plant alive…it’s so bad friends! ;) I love the look of having plants in each room, but I haven’t mastered how to keep up with them or keep them alive yet. So in the meantime, fake plants for the win!
Dreamy White Diffuser // This diffuser might just be the most gorgeous diffuser I’ve ever seen! I’m dreaming of this diffuser running in our kitchen at the new house with all the cozy home diffuser blends. :)
Fun Anthro bowls // If you know me in real life, you know I loveeee a good snack plate. These fun little bowls would be so cute and easy to throw a few treats in to add to a cheese plate.
Mom Life Tote // I am obsessed with this fun tote from one of my favorite little shops of all time! Mrs. Glynn & Co. is the cutest curated little shop. Her creativity and eye for design is AMAZING! & she also happens to be family, which is just the coolest. :)
Mama sweatshirt // These sweatshirts and tees are so fun. They are pricey, but I know they would be on REPEAT in my mama wardrobe. :) Perfect to throw on with jeans and sandals, or leggings and tennis shoes.
Glowy Skin Oils // If you’ve never tried essential oils before, shoot me a message right here on insta, and I’d love to chat with you and send you some fun little printables for free. Skincare is another area I’m not the greatest at, but it’s one of my goals this next year to make it a priority. I always feel SO refreshed when I do. A few of my favorite “treat yourself” oils for glowy skin: manuka, blue tansy, frankincense.
Kindle // Reading is one of my favorite ways to relax at night. I love hard copy books, but the kindle comes in so handy at night when the lights are off and our little one is sleeping or taking on the go. A few months ago I dropped my kindle on the stairs and it shattered. I was so bummed, but it’s been a good opportunity to catch up on my stack of hard copy books. :) I’m keeping my eye out for this one to go on sale and can’t wait to be able to read on it again!
A few bonus ideas
Bath Tray // relax with a bubble bath and a glass of your favorite sparkling drink
Mudpuppy Puzzles // one of my most favorite things that has come from this quarantine, making time for this simple joy!
Cordless Vacuum // such a silly and practical thing, but this has been on my wishlist for the past year. Now that we have a one year old who is always on the go and snacking, I’m thinking we need to invest in one of these soon. ;) It makes cleaning cracker crumbs out of carseats, strollers, and rugs, a breeze.
Daily Harvest Smoothies // I’ve wanted to try these out for a year or two. They are pricey, but would make such a fun and healthy treat.
Coffee Mug Rack // Love this giant coffee mug rack from Pottery Barn. I love a good collection of coffee mugs. It just feels so cozy and inviting to have so many fun ones to choose from when hosting loved ones.
Books // A few of my favorites are Risen Motherhood, Magic of Motherhood, and Less is More
Fresh Bedding // Another simple and practical thing, but a fresh set of bedding brings me so much joy. It’s so refreshing to crawl into cozy new bedding and is such an easy way to give a bedroom a new look.
Dear Mama Bible Study from Well Watered Women // this one is currently out of stock, but is on my list to go through sometime in the near future! I love every study I’ve ever done from Well Watered Women and this one is so perfect for this season.
Something fun to freshen up one little space in the house // I just ordered this kitchen rug to put in front of our sink. It can be as simple as a small plant, a new rug, a piece of artwork for the wall, little things can change up the space. It’s fun to switch things up and make them feel fresh!
Comfy cute joggers // I just ordered these from Old Navy, but there’s so many cute colors and pairs of joggers out there right now.
Water bottle // Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like I drink so much more water when it’s out of a fun cup or a new water bottle. ;) So many friends have shared that they love this one, so it’s on my wishlist!
I hope that gives you a few fun ideas & I hope you take time for you this week and weekend mama. You deserve it!
To the friends in a season of waiting
To the sweet friends longing to be mamas, I hope you know you aren’t forgotten about. I know this holiday stings & I’m praying for overwhelming peace and God’s perfect timing for your precious families!
