I’ve put together a gift guide for Mother’s Day. Any of these would make a Mama happy and brighten up her day.

1. Photo Album -I’ve heard it for years, Mothers around the world struggle to organize photos and create a photo album. If it looks overwhelming, just choose your favorite 20 photos for an album of your children or ask your photographer to make one from your past sessions. Turn your images into an heirloom to be enjoyed year after year. Artifact Uprising, Mpix or Chatbooks (for iPhone photos) are all great options.
2. Framed Prints -There is nothing like walking by a wall gallery in your home and seeing your family together in a framed photo. You can created a whole wall of memories or make a statement and print a large image. If you are a client of mine, you can order one directly through your gallery link.
3. Bath robe -there is hardly anything so satisfying as stepping out of the shower into a cozy bath robe. Styled with some beautiful bath salts and you are all set! White and Blush
4. Greetable -this is a fun option to surprise someone anytime. You can customize it and even add personalized photos
5. Farm Girl Flowers -always a wonderful options for flower delivery. Their bouquets are lovely!
6. Charix Shoes -who doesn’t love a new pair of shoes? These are both stylish and comfortable…the perfect gift! My two favorite are the camel color and leopard print.
7. Riddle Perfume -since I very sensitive to smell there are only two perfume scents that don’t give me terrible headaches. Original
8. Joe Malone Perfume -this one is my favorite sent: Nectarine Blossom
9. Drop off a meal or call a pizza delivery -any Mom loves a break form cooking. It doesn’t have to be fancy, practical is always good.
10. Silk Pillowcase -I’ve heard raving reviews about how healthy these silk cases are for your hair. And since I have frizzy hair to start with, I wanted to give them a try. Anything silk feels extra special.
11. Anthropology Candle –Capri Blue
12. Offer to babysit -sometimes it can be tough to get away for a date night so offering to babysit it such a great gift. If you are a mother yourself, offer a swap.
13. Tea Kettle -I use mine everyday! It literally takes 30 seconds to heat the water and you’re ready to start your morning.

Small Shops I love:

• Jarle Candles -my favorite candles
• Three Littles -all things baby and toddler
• Little Leaf -beautiful plants and DC based
• Grace and Salt -I adore their rainbow air diffusers
• Salt and Sundry -beautifully curated home goods
• Daily Grace Co. -a wonderful Bible source! I’ve had my eye on their leather Bible for a while now

I hope these give you a few ideas to bless a Mother you have in your life.
