Happy Mother's Day! The Gift Guide for Last Minute Shoppers
There is no doubt that you love your mom...and there is also no question that you always seem to leave purchasing her gift until the last minute. To save you the panicked scramble, we've put together a succinct list of the best things to give any mother in your life — including yourself!
1.
BEAUTIFUL KITCHENWARE
Even if the mother(s) in your life don't live in the kitchen, you can help them make that space well-designed with a few curated countertop displays. Our go-to for styling include any of these:
Wooden cutting boards of various sizes
White ceramic crocks paired with wooden utensils
Metallic gold fruit bowls and vases
Reclaimed wood bowls or platters
These items can be purchased at nearly any home goods store (or you could even get them on Amazon Prime if you're really desparate!).
2.
1 MONTH OF MEAL
KIT DELIVERY
Cooking dinner can be a drag, but meal planning is even worse. Help the moms in your life by sending a month of meals to their doorstep. You could opt for a cook-it-yourself route like HelloFresh, Green Chef, Sun Basket, or Blue Apron if she enjoys cooking.
However, if she is always on the go, extremely health conscious, or doesn't enjoy cooking, you could snag her a month of Daily Harvest or The Frozen Garden. These options come ready to throw into a blender for the perfectly balanced smoothie.
3.
A SERVICE-BASED
GIFT CERTIFICATE
Did you know you can gift services like professional house cleaning, interior design, home staging or styling consults, and even window treatments? If the mom in your life has been yearning for a home update but tends to put off spending money on herself or her space, now is your time to shine.
We suggest asking your favorite home professional if they offer gift certificates for any of their services. (Hint, hint, we do!)
Simply reply to this email to grab a gift card for your mom, yourself, or another mother in your life. We can't wait to make their day!
DID YOU KNOW?
The history of Mother's Day...
"The official Mother’s Day holiday arose in the 1900s as a result of the efforts of Anna Jarvis, daughter of Ann Reeves Jarvis. Following her mother’s 1905 death, Anna Jarvis conceived of Mother’s Day as a way of honoring the sacrifices mothers made for their children."

GIFTING TIP
Check the dates ahead of time.
If you go the gift certificate route, make sure you know when or if the offer expires and encourage your recipient to use it with three months.
Pair the gift with a heartfelt, handwritten card and prepare to shed some happy tears.
Thank you, Moms!
