A lovely print for her bedroom, $15. (Update: Good news, she added more to the shop!)
Compost cookies with pretzels, chocolate, oats, coffee and potato chips (holla!), $10 for six. (They also have blueberry and cream cookies, yum.)
The newly restored dvd of Breathless, $31.96, wrapped in a French striped shirt.
A handmade cutting board from the Hudson Valley, $38, along with three stinky cheeses.
Pretty triangle earrings that she can wear with everything, $30.
A vintage scarf, $55, that she can wear around her neck or wrap around her head like Audrey Hepburn. (Bonus: It looks like modern art!)

A bundle of dried lavender to make her desk feel like the English countryside, $10.xoxo
P.S. More gifts for moms, and the complete Cup of Jo gift guides from the past three years.
All of these are wonderful. I am laughing though because I have that Vera scarf...& a friend tried to get me to "dump" it last summer. I think she secretly wanted it.
ReplyDeleteExcellent choices, Joanna.
Cheers.

Someone just said I had to come back & confess my crush on Niles, as well. So I did. xo
ReplyDeleteS.
Love! Especially the simple triangle earrings. I have many simple gold studs in a variety of shapes and I love them!
ReplyDeleteLove these :)
ReplyDeleteOh what I would give to have a bundle of lavender on my work desk right now!
I'm new to blogging this year and can't wait for your gift guide after having seen some from year's past! You always find the most unique items and dream up the funniest characters!I guess it's appropriate to say Happy Holidays :)
ReplyDeleteBookmarked this post. Lovely items. Especially loved the dvd wrapped in a crisp, clean shirt. And the dried lavender....
ReplyDeletehaha, giulia, right on.
ReplyDeletethanks, roxy! and the characters are actually my real family members; i just describe them as they are. :)
ReplyDeleteI love love love your gift guides! It inspires me a lot! Can't wait for the ones for you boyfriend/husband ;-)! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThe glug glug jug is fantastic! The girl print is absolutely wonderful; Tali does amazing work. Can't wait to see more!

ReplyDeletei gave my SIL a lovely vintage vera scarf last year with some pretty pretty antique earrings.

These are all lovely choices! I want every item for myself.

ReplyDeleteThe Cheeky Cafe
I love these ideas! Especially the jugs and the lavender!

I love that print but I don't see it in the etsy shop. :/
ReplyDeleteCute scarf as well!
Love these!! The print is gorgeous but I'm not sure about the cookie!!
ReplyDeletewww.styleisalwaysfashionable.blogspot.com
The pencils are great! oh, and the lavender
ReplyDeleteGreat list! Love the print :)
ReplyDeleteOoh that scarf looks like something the mom in me would love.
ReplyDeletexx

Joanna,
ReplyDeleteI think I just might have to order those pencils for all the women in my life! Love vintage scarves, especially hand-me-downs.
Such a great list. I just added you to my blog column at TLPC of stylish gift-giving gals like you!
Kiss the baby.
Lisa
that jug is so cool!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteoh, breathless. that never gets old.
ReplyDeleteReading you from Vancouver ,BC...and i see an old friend modeling for chance on your blog..how fantastic!
ReplyDeletePitch perfect!
ReplyDeleteMaybe you can serve some Glug (http://www.noelnoelnoel.com/recipes/glug.html) in the Glug, Glug Jug!! :)
I so look forward to these every YEAR! Thank you for sharing your ideas and goods every year!
ReplyDeleteHappy Dec 1st!
I'm not a mom, but I have a HUGE crush on Niles!!!
ReplyDeletep.s. The spelling is Frasier...my mom and i have seen every episode at least 20 times. a bit of an obsession.
ReplyDeleteActually, I've always been the one with the crush on Niles while my Mum prefers Frasier but she's still beautiful and would like all of these things. The glug glug jug might rather be something for my pint loving brother - it's so British! I've been following your blog for quite a while but this is my first comment. You always find the most fabulous stuff.
ReplyDeleteThese are great, Joanna! The print is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHappy December!
For those of you in the U.S., Shreve Crump and Low in Boston sells the glug glug jugs (called "gurgling cods" at the store but they are the same exact thing). Thought I'd throw that out there for those that don't want to do international shipping :-)
ReplyDeleteThose little tiny earrings are so sweet...My mom would love them for sure! What a great guide:) Thanks and kisses
ReplyDeleteBreathless wrapped in a French shirt. I think I might actually do this.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the idea...

ReplyDeletethanks mirella!!
ReplyDeleteCan't go wrong with a Mom that loves Frasier :). Those compost cookies sound interesting.
ReplyDeletewhoa, those cookies are seriously to-die-for....are those whole pretzels?!
ReplyDeleteThese are absolute gems, Joanna! Your gift guides never fail me, ever! :o) :o) :o) Thank you!
ReplyDeleteWow...so many great gift ideas. Thanks. Now i definitely won't be short of ideas.
ReplyDelete"...Your Beautiful Mom Who Gives Pitch-Perfect Advice and Has a Secret Crush on Niles from Frasier."
This made me laugh as i definitely know someone who fits that description. Hehe.
Thanks for sharing.
joanna, i bought a glug glug jug in holland, michigan! i use it for my flowers. it's deep purple, of course :)
ReplyDeleteI love pencils with funny notes on them! I'm tying them on my gifts this year as adornments!

I have one of those gurgle jugs! They're so fun. Great ideas!
ReplyDeleteThat print is gorgeous, the scarf so perfect and who doesn't love a bundle of lavender... I would love to find these things under my tree.
ReplyDeleteLove that print but it doesn't seem like it's in the shop anymore :(
ReplyDeleteyou can also find a more modern take on the "gurgle pot" here! I love the colors of these.

Love the earrings, I checked out her store and I love everything, great pick!
ReplyDeletewww.thevaultfiles.blogspot.com
I love these, Joanna! (Almost as much as I love Niles... especially after seeing him host Steven Sondheim's birthday party on PBS!)
ReplyDeleteI love your gift guides. I am so tempted to get some of these items for myself (ah, Christmas time...one for them, one for me)
ReplyDeleteUhhmm...those compost cookies, I might have to get for myself! lol
ReplyDeletexo,

Compost Cookies!! incredible. Jo, I have a gift guide (www.twinyolks.com) but yours is better, of course. Love the Glug Glug jar and the earrings. thanks for the help!
ReplyDeletexo
Maybe this year you could include a guide for "Your Mother-in-Law: Who has EVERYTHING!" It would truly save my life.
ReplyDeletehaha, sarah, mothers in law are always so tough!! do you think she would like a decoupage plate or paperweight from John Derian? those are so lovely. and everyone likes pretty soaps -- Fresh.com has BEAUTIFUL soaps. or, finally, you could get her a great bottle of wine and wrap it in a pretty tea towel, like the ones from Taska or etsy. hope that helps!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my. I love that jug.
ReplyDeletethese are all great ideas!
ReplyDeleteI love this guide! So many wonderful things =]
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the rest of them!
I need me some of those pencils STAT. Love!
ReplyDeleteGirl! You are the best ever!!! We all love your wiriting in my house!!!! Have a wonderful December!!!! greetings from Venezuela!
ReplyDeleteI love the scarf-especially because I have a vintage one that looks just like it, and love to wear it on my head.
ReplyDeleteI love those earrings!
ReplyDeleteLove the print from tushtush's Etsy shop. I figured this one would probably catch your eye, as well? :)
ReplyDeletehttp://www.etsy.com/listing/47352167/twin-print
Really lovely gift ideas! I especially like the scarves, but the collection of gift ideas together works quite well!
ReplyDeleteMy mom is a high school teacher and the idea of dried lavender on her desk just warms my heart. Also, I would love to give those "you are beautiful" pencils as a gift to my future daughter. Would make her smile every time she writes in school.
ReplyDeleteGreat gift guide Jo!
Amazing list, those cookies look scrumptious!
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you! So nice to see our Footed Platte up there! A friend alerted me to it. I had no idea. Glad you like it!
ReplyDeleteSo you totally know my mom! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Joanna, for including so many truly affordable gifts this year! I am really excited about so many of these and thankful that the price is so within reach! Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteSo many great gift ideas! And the triangle earrings remind me of these pyramid studs (which I bought from my shop and wear practically every single day): http://alafdm.com/jewelry/pyramid_stud
ReplyDeleteWOW. I had never seen one of your gift guides before, and I just went through the archives and got ideas for about 10 people on my list! Thanks for posting these, I love them - they are really creative and real and useful, as opposed to those "30 under $30" crap lists that magazines come up with. I also really like your advice about making a list of what people love and going from there when thinking of gift ideas - so true!
ReplyDeletexo and happy holidays!
Love this gift guide so much! So beautiful to see something different and so unique! Just fabulous!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful selections here
There's a US-based company that does a sleek, less ornate version of the Glug Glug Jug, called the Gurgle Pot. Consider buying from them instead for all your Gurgling/Glugging container needs :)
ReplyDeletehttp://www.gurglepot.com
(It's an old co-worker of mine's family business -- that's the reason for the plug!)
omg that cookie looks DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!
