Mother's Day Gift Ideas

With Mother's Day approaching, my brain is in overdrive trying to come up with original gift ideas. I'm tired of giving flowers and gift cards, so I've been searching Etsy for unique handmade gifts to give (and receive!). I thought I'd share with you some of my finds.


I've had my eye on these etui manicure boxes for a while now. They would be such a clever gift idea for the mom who has everything. Etui needlework boxes are also available. This would definitely stand out and I can almost promise you no one else will be getting her the same thing! They're very affordable at $18.50 each and are available at www.sparetimecrafts.etsy.com.



You can never go wrong with a candle. Especially a wild cherry cheesecake jumbo cupcake candle from www.sugarvillecandles.etsy.com! Does that look good enough to eat, or what? I don't think that's recommended, but it would be hard to resist. For just $16.95, you will receive a candle that is well over a 1/2 lb. and will fill your room with wild cherry cheesecake aroma! Yummy!





Of course, everyone loves jewelry! These earrings are available at www.dreambelledesign.etsy.com for only $21.00. I purchased a similar pair for myself in blue and they are absolutely stunning! The owner, Susan, is a lovely lady who is a pleasure to work with. My earrings were shipped quickly, packaged adorably and couldn't be more gorgeous. I've received tons of compliments!




Another great find was this gourmet style mini recipe album with recipe cards. I think this is so adorable! Great for the mom who loves to cook and try out new recipes. This album has 8 double sided pages and includes multiple pockets for storing favorite recipes. It's available for $22.00 at www.serenitysilks.etsy.com.




And, of course, don't forget to stop by www.hotpinkchick.etsy.com for some great Mother's Day (or any day) jewelry and accessories! Enter code "Gift Blog" in the Message To Seller at checkout and receive 10% OFF your order from now until Mother's Day! Discount will be refunded via Paypal. Happy shopping!
