In honor of your mother...

A week from today is Mother's Day and I always try and find the perfect gift to let her know how much I love her and appreciate all the love and support she has given me throughout the years. Below are some ideas of gifts for your special mother.

Great piece of jewelry {Elva Fields}

Give her a little rest and send her to a B&B for the weekend. Pack the ticket or good news in a stylish piece of luggage. {Globe-Trotter)

For the mom  you loves to cook or just has a green thumb. I'm loving this live lavender plant in moss pot. {Pottery Barn}

To go along with any of the above gifts why not add a little personalization and give her custom stationery. {carla david design}
