hi,Instead of Peonies (which come into season in about a month or more) how about going a little more eco-freindly and give LILACS! They are so aromatic and easily accessible. The last few years I've been trying to go green with seasonal flowers. Love your cooking class suggestion!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous gift ideas! But the fondue pot is my fave, looks so delicious :)
ReplyDeleteMegan @ Storybook Love Affair
These are such fantastic ideas! Love the Mom Morse code bracelet!!

Perfect timing. Thank you! I think I'll chase down that plant topper...
ReplyDeletePS - Can't believe how much your mum looks like you!!
Great gift ideas...I love the mug especially!
ReplyDeletehehe! Happy looking babies! Lovely gift ideas!
ReplyDeletewonderful gifts, especially the flowers :) i did a mother's day gift guide recently, too, and found SO many goodies from paper source.
ReplyDeleteyou guys should check it out!

I love all your ideas, Joanna, thanks so much! This is just what I've been looking for lately...
ReplyDeleteBut I am completely blown away that a bouquet of peonies is $93!!! Here in Germany, that would cost maximum 15€! If only I could air-mail flowers to my mom in the US... ;)
Great gift ideas! Thanks :)

Wow, your mom is gorgeous! And you two look so much alike!
ReplyDeleteI am definitely getting my mom that mug. I saw that and couldn't help but laugh. My brother and I are always teasing who's the favorite (But we all know that everyone loves the baby girl best, right ;)
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!

love that mug (only wish it were true :)!
ReplyDeleteneed that plant topper for myself! okay, fine, i'll get it for my mom.
THANKS FOR THE IDEAS !
ps, http://amandamantes.blogspot.com !
peonies are my favorites!
ReplyDeleteI also remember this pretty article on glamour about how they are beleived to attract romance into your life when you have them in your home :)
aw i love that picture of your mom and you girls. you look a lot like your mom! beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet idea! Thanks for sharing. I think I'd find a cooking class for mom around here. xoxo

i loooove that plan topper! it is so cool and would make a room so cozy!
ReplyDeletein dramatic fashion
I LOVE that mug! Also, who knew that peonies were so expensive!?! Will have to consider an export business - my yard is packed with peonies!
ReplyDeletep.s. Anyone who has access to peonies will appreciate this tip: cut them when they just start to blossom (closed, but with a little give). Wrap them in newspaper and keep in your refrigerator for up to a month. Pull them out when you want them and put them in water.
ReplyDeleteWe did this for my sister's wedding with hundreds of peonies last June and it was amazing. I'll be saving some to use all summer long from here on out.
Pretty, pretty gifts! Am I crazy, or is $100+ out of the price-range of the average gift-giver? All of them are lovely gifts, though, despite the prices on the steep side. I like the mug of chocolate!
ReplyDeleteWhere has the plant topper been all my life?
ReplyDeletethe flowers from first photo are my favourite :)
ReplyDeleteI can see any mom being happy with all these Mother's Day gifts but the mug is priceless!
ReplyDeleteI love the plant topper. I am quite lucky in that I get two mothers day to celebrate. I celebrate the European one and the U.S. one. I am really spoiled !
ReplyDeleteEh, peonies will be in season soon, I can't see paying $93 for them.
ReplyDeleteIf you live close to your mom, you could buy a few peony bushes for your mom and plant them in her yard...for much less money.
Well, if the British Mother's Day hadn't already visited, I'd be opting for the stunning bouquet!

great ideas! love the mug!! and the flowers (but they are expensive!!)-cute photo-you look so much like your mum!
ReplyDeleteooo, i'm sending this to my husband. my twin girls are 4 months old, so he'd better be getting me something good on their behalf! my wedding bouquet was a bunch of pink peonies, it looked like the sweetest pom pom, i loved it.
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely ideas, and those peonies are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteEvery year since I was a little girl, I've made a gift for my mom for Mother's Day. What used to be macaroni and glitter pictures has evolved into customized tablecloths and fabric wreaths.
I love the idea of doing an astrology reading. The gift of spending time together is always the best idea, especially when its super fun like this!

I have to let everyone know about the COATT morse coded jewelry. I bought my mother in law a morse code bracelet for christmas and it was the biggest disappointment ever! the photos on the site make the bracelet look well-sized when in reality, it was SO THIN that it almost looked like dental floss and the beads used for the morse code were extremely (i'm talking EXTREMELY) tiny.
ReplyDeletei love the idea of it but it was almost one of those things where i wanted to send it back and email her for making her site so misleading. i was really disappointed because i love the idea of her jewelry as it is so unique and sweet.
just a word of caution!
Great picks! The photo of you, your sister and your mom is super cute!
ReplyDeletegreat guide! i LOVE the old photo in a new frame! good call.

ReplyDeleteYikes, I haven't even thought about it yet. The mug is funny though, sure would make her smile :)
ReplyDeleteLove that Plant topper, My mom would love it too.
ReplyDeletehaha...the mug... my daughter tells me that all the time :)
ReplyDeletethe picture of your mom...you look just like her :)
Joanna, call me a hopeless romantic but how did your mom and dad meet? I'm so curious to know.
ReplyDeleteYou should totally share in a post sometime.
A field of grass without the allergies? Whoohoo!
ReplyDeleteKatie
LOVE the mug! i think my mom might be getting that from me. And I would love to receive the grass candle myself for mother's day. Lovely! Nice picks, Joanna!
ReplyDeletei can't believe mother's day is around the corner. I need to get my act together

Wow, your mother really looks like you in that picture! When my mother was younger, she really didn't look like me or my siblings.
ReplyDeleteAnd that mug made me laugh.
But, I'd also like to say an early Happy Mother's Day to all those women who for whatever reason "only" have children of the 4-legged and furry variety!
Ha! My mom would get a kick out of that cup! Great ideas — Better act soon, time sure is flying by :)
ReplyDeleteI adore peonies, too. You can actually buy that photograph of peonies on Etsy - just google Sarah Tucker Peonies. That would be an awesome present, too. (I discovered that on one of your previous posts, Joanna. I love that picture. Thanks.)
ReplyDeleteThat mug is totally hilarious! Great suggestions. Your gift guides are the best.

I'm totally getting my mom that coffee mug....because it's totally true! Well, according to me :)
ReplyDeleteThat candle would be amazing! These are great finds.
ReplyDeleteAre a bouquet of peonies seriously $93?!?! I just picked an armload from my backyard last night. The first thing I did when we bought our house was plant 5 peony bushes. They are my absolute favorite! But maybe I should be selling them :)
ReplyDeleteThis will be my third mother's day. The first two did not go well at all since, besides a card from my own mom, zilch. I'm actually kinda dreading it this year. Maybe I'm selfish for being disappointed?
No, Amanda, you are not selfish for being disappointed. We do expect acknowledgment for our birthdays and something special like mother's day. I hope you put the work out that it is important to you. I know that I would LOVE that cooking class for mother's day. How awesome! Or even a simple brunch and a bouquet of flowers.
ReplyDeleteI love that mug. If only my brother weren't my mother's favorite! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThat mug - pure genius.
ReplyDeleteAwesome list, but I just have to say... you are the spitting image of your mother when she was young! So pretty - I love that picture.
