Mother's Day Gifts She'll (or, You'll) Love!

A few weeks ago I posted a few things that I’d love as a “push present” from my hubby after the baby is born. Thankfully he was reading that day, and now I know one is going to be my Mother’s Day gift! I know you all are jealous, because my gift is a new retractable screen door for our front entrance! Sexy? No. Romantic? No. Something that I’ve wanted for a really, really, long time? YES! Which actually makes it kinda sexy and romantic. I’m depraved that way.

If you aren’t crazy like me and are hoping for something a little more sentimental {or looking for a gift idea for someone that isn’t a screen door} here are a few ideas I rounded up from Etsy and the internet. Ahhhh… so lovely!

Custom Family Trees from Cozy Blue:

Custom Silhouettes:

I love these antique flatware plant markers, despite the fact (or perhaps because of the fact) they serve no purpose other than being lovely:

These little bowls from Elm Studios have had me captivated for months:

I could go on and on, but really, those items are so sigh-worthy that I’ll let it be for now. That being said, I have a super-last-minute project idea that took me less than 20 minutes to make if you need an idea the day before Mother’s Day. Or Father’s Day, for that matter. I just need to take a few more photos of it, so expect it to be posted on Thursday. See what I mean about last minute? It’s my motto lately. Actually, every day. 😉
