Good morning! I hope your weekend is off to a great start! It’s supposed to be another beautiful day here! We thought we would pop in today with a little Mother’s Day Gift Guide. We thought we’d start with a couple of my favorite kitchen items.

I love this pretty kettle which is a great price, (and also am a huge fan of this one, but it’s a big splurge) and these measuring cups and spoons are my favorite. They are so pretty I keep them out on my counters and then they are right there ready to use when I am cooking and baking. We also LOVE this footed wood serving piece. I keep it right here on the counter but also when I am entertaining it I love using it as a serving piece! It would make a great wedding gift too!

I also love this ceramic vase! It looks beautiful empty or filled with fresh blooms. It would make a great gift filled with some tulips for Mother’s Day!

Or if you are looking for a splurge gift we LOVE our Nespresso Machine. That’s what I got my husband last year for Father’s Day (he’s been drinking coffee since he was a child and believe it or not, this was something he really and truly wanted – haha!) Or another idea for a coffee lover are these beautiful mugs. (And the mini cupcake stands shown above as well as the gold dinnerware are great ideas too!)

And of course we LOVE these mugs too:

This gold bottomed vase is probably our favorite. We have more than one and use them throughout the house – this would make a beautiful Mother’s Day gift filled with a simple bouquet!

 

Pretty books are one of my FAVORITE gift ideas. They are one of those things that I absolutely LOVE but seldom buy for myself so I LOVE getting them for gifts. I love vintage books but also love ones like these:

This Jane Austen set is so pretty and of course has some of my favorite books:

And I just adore this Jane Austen set as well:

And this Brontë Sisters set is another beautiful option:

And this C.S. Lewis book which is a collection of his work would make a great coffee table book:

And then of course jewelry is always a good option. We continue to be huge fans of Starfish Project. They are a non-profit organization with a social enterprise that cares for women coming out of human trafficking and exploitation. Starfish Project has employed over 125 women and has served thousands through our Community Outreach Services. 100% of your purchase goes to their social mission to restore hope to exploited women and children and helps them experience freedom, establish independence, and develop careers. At their website, you can read Stories of Hope from real women who have emerged from exploitation and made your jewelry. Starfish Project is making a real impact, and you can be part of restoring hope to exploited women with Starfish Project.

 

We also love this wood beaded garland and think it makes a great gift!

And if you want to give your mom flowers that won’t ever die check out this peony bouquet:

And lastly makeup and beauty products! I thought we would share some of our favorites starting with this lip and cheek stain. I got this in the Forever Red color as a gift and immediately fell in love with how long lasting the color was and the amazing hydration however the color was too dark for me so I went with this lighter Forever Pink color and love it!

I also have started using this Rodial cream and am a huge fan. I love the way it makes my skin feel and also love the smell of it!

And here is one of my favorite eye shadow kits.

Well that is it for today! I hope you all have an amazing weekend!

Warmly, Jenni
