5 Last Minute Gifts for Mother’s Day

Newsflash! Mother’s Day is this Sunday! Sometimes, flowers and a card just aren’t enough. But, if you waited until the last minute to do your shopping, it can be hard to narrow down the perfect gift! I’m here to help!

1. Candles are a woman’s best friend.

I’m obsessed with Archipelago candles! There are so many different scents, and I even found my mom’s favorite, Tuberose! They are most likely carried at a retail store near you, and make for a great additional gift to a card and flowers.

2. Show your mom she is one in a million!

Kate Spade has the cutest initial necklaces in silver and gold! You can get your mom’s initial or ‘M’ for Mom! It’s simple for the mom that isn’t a jewelry fanatic, and perfect for stacking for the mom that already has her set of necklaces.

3.  You can never go wrong with wine.

Modern House Wines are the best thing to come to Target since sliced bread. In addition to being one of Oprah’s Favorite Things, these wines are affordable, smooth, and come with the best phrases on each bottle.

4. Mom’s Day Out

Instead of just one gift, give her the gift of an entire day full of fun plans! It doesn’t have to be crazy, but sometimes, a crowded brunch and a generic card isn’t very personable.

Ideas: explore local coffee shops, shop at local boutiques and support the small businesses around you, stroll around a farmers market, or go see a chick-flick together.

5. Dog Moms are Moms Too!

This t-shirt probably won’t make it in time for Mother’s Day, but it is too cute to not include on this list! First of all, I am obsessed with Kelley DiGioia’s Instagram because her two dogs are the definition of adorable, especially the ween! Seriously, follow her adorable family right now. When she announced that she would be helping out her local Humane Society by selling THE cutest ‘Dog Mom’ t-shirts, I knew I had to have one! It is so freaking comfy and it makes me feel like treating my dog like my child is a totally valid lifestyle.

My Spring Favorites

I wanted to share some of my favorite brands, stores, and products for Spring! The sun is out, the sky is blue, the flowers are blooming, and… my skin is dry, I haven’t had a pedicure in months, and I have no idea where my brunch outfits are hidden in the depths of my closet.

I’m having a hard time transitioning season to season, but I’ve found some stuff that’s been making my life a lot easier. A LOT easier.

—————————————————-

Frank Body: This coffee scrub is saving my skin. At first, I just wanted to carry over my coffee addiction into other aspects of my life, but this stuff really works, and it smells amazing!

Essie Nail Polish: Season after season, I’m a huge fan of the collections that Essie releases. The one I pictured above is last year’s Play Date, simply because I haven’t decided which hues I will be purchasing this season.

Stitch and Feather Sandals: These sandals might just replace my Rainbows. They are perfect for festival season and all of my Spring and Summer outfits. Most importantly, they are super comfy.

—————————————————-

CoverGirl’s Ready, Set, Gorgeous: This liquid foundation is perfect for light to medium coverage and doesn’t look cake-y. Pair it with Maybelline’s Baby Skin Pore Eraser for all day wear!

 MonAmour Collection: I’ve never been one to accessorize, but I’ve recently discovered that small pieces can really complete a simple look. I’m obsessed with these gold spike earrings from MonAmour Collection! I have the matching necklace and they are perfect paired with a plain black tee and boyfriend jeans or dressed up with a black tank dress and denim jacket!

Jawbreaking Clothing: Sorry for the separate photos, but my shipment is still in the mail. I couldn’t wait to share my obsession! I will be wearing these babies all season long!
