Did you completely forget about Mother's Day? That's OK; you still have 24 hours, and 24 hours is more than enough time to make Mom something that if she does not love, she might very well not be a human being: chocolate-dipped fruit with fancy salt. (Click here for instructions.)
Another easy DIY: pick up some mason jars and a few herbs, and make her a gorgeous windowsill garden (either hanging or not) of her very own. (Click here for instructions.)
I love Mother's Day.
Not because it's a day when my mom and I get to spend time together - we do that plenty anyways - but rather because we always end up getting dressed up and doing something sort of adorably Mother's Day-ish, like afternoon tea or brunch somewhere fancy (like we did last year, pictured above) or what have you.
Something different. Memory-making. You get the idea.
First family picnic! Just the best.
Count Me Healthy Bracelet (starting at $88): This is a pretty neat twist on jewelry, especially for a new mom or someone who's into setting health goals for themselves: you slide the little beads on the bracelet from one side to another over the course of the day to track your progress towards a goal (every time you, say, drink a glass of water).
Fossil Stella Mini Watch ($115): Who wouldn't love a rose gold watch in a classic shape? And this one is (well, relatively; it's still a watch) affordable.
bamboopink Rio Coral Hoops ($34): I actually just gave my own mother a pair of these - their striking color and beautiful details make them gorgeous for both everyday and special occasions.
Mother's Day is coming up on May 8, so here are some suggestions from $0 to $400 to inspire your shopping!
