Every week I share the Love List – my favorite finds, recipes, reads, and little joys from around the web. This week I’m sharing a special Mother’s Day gift guide. As a mom of 4, I can attest that these are all mom vetted items lol, especially making her a meal…make her a meal or a snack (some fave make ahead recipes at the bottom)!!!
- Boat and Tote – bonus points getting in monogrammed or this Bauble Bar one, I got my sisters and mom these for Christmas! I got the large ones!
- Dazzle dry mini system – you guys, I’m so obsessed. This stuff dries so fast, I’ll throw this in my bag and paint my nails during lunch or in the carline, 5 min later they’re dry as can be. Cannot say enough good things!
- An initial necklace – I looove mine and wear it every day (literally never take it off). Here is the Maya Brenner link-this is the one I have, or the more affordable one on Etsy.
- Books. I loooove reading. Books from a bookstore (gift cards – Barns & Noble is always a hit with me, or a local bookstore) or an Audible membership (audiobooks) or a kindle (I throw mine in my purse and it’s great when I’m waiting in the parking lot at a sports practice)!!!
- This Instant Camera is on my wishlist (hint hint of you’re reading this) – how fun is this? And I have a memory jar so this would be perfect for that. I love printed pictures!!!
- Super cute MAMA sweatshirt that you can customize (I have one with all the kids names on the sleeve, it’s very special)!
- A super delish smelling candle – all the Hotel Lobby candles smell ammmmazing
- Coffee – just a gift card to her favorite coffee shop -Starbucks is mine
- If you have a budget for it – these Mom Cheese Boards are super nice. My mom actually sent me 2 different boards from this company at different times, and they were both amazing!!!
- These gardening/everyday clogs are amazing (they’re waterproof and come in fun colors)!
- Please feel free to message me if you need ideas!!
- Pillow Mist aka Sleep Spray
- This is a calming pillow mist that helps promote a sense of well-being and relaxation before sleep with a proprietary blend of essential oils. The vagus nerve activates the body’s relaxation response and helps regulate stress. My kids ask my to spray ‘the sleep spray’ -it’s really sweet to incorporate it into their bedtime routine.
- Aura digital picture frame – omg, I got one of these for Christmas (the Aspen), I stare at it daily, I’m so in love, and it’s easy to use! If you live far away, you can send pics to your moms frame!
Recipes: here are recipes that you can make ahead and gift to your mom, because, trust me, she just doesn’t want to cook on Mothers day!
- Serbian crepes (Palačinke) – these crepes are amazing, and you can bring them over and heat and eat – they’re good with jam, nutella, or just plain!
- Make ahead quiche – this is a fave, great for breakfast or brunch
- Butternut squash soup – this is awesome to have in the freezer for a lunch during the week!
- Chicken enchilada casserole – this one is tried and true, it’s so delicious, everyone loves it!
- 5 of the best freezer meals – just prep and freeze, no pre cooking required!
- Date turtles – only 5 ingredients and they taste like chocolate turtles!
