Mother’s Day is just around the corner, a time to remember and celebrate the special women in our lives. If you’re thinking about what to do, why not plan a day together doing something mom loves or something she’s always dreamed of doing? Something beyond the traditional breakfast in bed, spa day or mother’s day lunch date. My sisters and mom recently spent the day together learning how to make beautiful silver rings and raved how much fun they had! Other ideas? How about a ‘sip and paint’ event, cooking class making one of mom’s favorite dishes, or treating mom to a new flower garden, complete with new gardening tools and spend the day planting together. Or pulling out old albums and old pictures from when you were both young and spending time together sharing stories, laughs and memories. If you’re wondering about what to get mom, I’ve put together a list of gift ideas to get you started, my personal favorites being this blue & white kimono, leather jewelry cases, and glass keepsake locket necklace or anything from the gorgeous new Aerin x William Sonoma collection. Slip-in a simple love note or homemade treat – there’s no replacement for gifts that come from the heart.
