Five on Friday: Mother’s Day Gifts

Mother’s Day is quickly approaching and I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to spend some well deserved time hanging out with my mom. I love gift giving and finding ways to surprise people, so I figured I would get a little creative with some fun Mother’s Day gift ideas this year.

1. Mother Daughter Jewelry Set ($115)

I’ve been eyeing this set for a long time. I think it is so cute. My mom would get the circle and my sister and I would each get a tiny heart. It’s sort of like a modern take on a best friends necklace.

2. Mother & Daughter Letter Book Set ($40)

I thought this was something fun and different. It’s a letter writing kit that you give to your mom and then you both write letters to each other throughout the year to get to know each other better. Since I am so busy I thought this might be a fun little project. Plus you get a nice little keepsake book to keep all the letters in.

3. Plum Deluxe Organic Tea of the Month Club ($10/month)

My mother LOVES tea so I thought this would be a really fun gift. I wanted to do something a little off the beaten path so she would get teas that she’s never tried before from all over the world.

4. Chamilia Beads ($45)

My mom LOVES Chamilia! She designs her own bracelets and has a coordinating bracelet for every outfit. Seriously, if you want someone to design a fantastic bracelet for you, she’s your gal. This Radiant Blooms bead is so cute and perfect for Mother’s Day.

5. Valek Rolling Pins (2 for $63.95)

I thought these were really cool and different. I like getting my mom something that nobody else has. These are embossed rolling pins that she can use to make fun cookies or pie crusts or anything really.

Bonus Gift: Spoiled Rotten Dog Sign ($14.95)

We can’t forget Sport’s gift! He occasionally visits my parents’ house and they love him so I thought this would be a fun gift to come from Sport.

What are you getting your mom for Mother’s Day this year?

Weekend Recap: Wedding Fun

I am terrible at taking pictures when John and I are out. I am always having fun and forget to capture it. So in order to give you a recap of the last few weekends I had to raid John’s phone and my friend’s Facebook pages. I think I am going to have to do one of those photo challenges to encourage myself to take more photos.

I mentioned in my previous Five on Friday: Bridesmaid Edition post that we had four weddings to attend this season. Here are some fun photos from the first one, where John and I were both in the wedding party:

Next up, John and I celebrated our third anniversary! With all of the weddings we decided to have a celebratory dinner at Iridescence at Motor City Casino. We are taking a trip over Memorial Day weekend for our annual anniversary trip, but we wanted to start the celebration early. John surprised me with a beautiful Michael Kors watch. I am a lucky lady!

The next day I attended my friend Krissy’s baby shower. She is the cutest prego and definitely has that pregnancy glow! Her sister put together a great shower and they made her an adorable flower for her bump:

Our second wedding was this Saturday and it was at a great location! Planterra which is a cool greenhouse. It was the perfect time to get together with friends and for John and I to relax and have some fun. Of course I didn’t get any pictures of us, just of the girls. Also, a big shout out to Liz (on the right) who was so excited to be on my blog (I loved her green dress – Anne Klein). I was just excited that people are still reading this.

Last but not least, we celebrated Mother’s Day on Sunday and I didn’t get any pictures of my Mom, because we were too busy playing with our niece. She is such a little cutie and our entertainment for the day!
