I love Mother's Day, even though, in all reality, I think it's a day that should be treated like any other. I cherish the time I spend with my children, always—and I don't need a reminder to take time to do something nice for myself just because it's Mother's Day. At the same time... one Mother's Day I woke up to find two gifts for me from Tiffany & Co., one from each of my boys. It was a D and a C locket to put on my Tiffany & Co. bracelet, and I wear this bracelet every single day!
Even though (in my opinion) the best gift to receive on Mother's Day is long-lasting hugs and kisses from your children, some gifts wrapped in a bow are also special too.
Here are some presents that would make great Mother's Day gifts to receive—or to give:
Citrus Silver necklace: I was lucky to receive this personalized hand-stamped sterling silver necklace at a pre-Mother's Day event I attended with Ali recently. I love it—it's simple, beautiful, and has the names of my children on it. All of the pendant designs by Citrus Silver are made in Canada, too. This would make the perfect Mother's Day gift, I think. This pendant is only $49.00, too. The chain is an additional cost.
Fresh flowers: I love fresh flowers in the home, and my heart totally melts when my children hand me flowers—those they've picked themselves, or the ones they've carefully bought for me. This image is from Pinterest—I love the bright pink flowers. Also, spending a few hours without interruption on the Internet so I can browse through all the gorgeous pictures on Pinterest is a gift in itself, too.
Tig's Closet bracelets: I recently ordered a few bracelets from Tig's Closet, and they are so stunning. They are gorgeous, affordable, and the perfect accessory to any outfit. I LOVE my bracelets, and I can't wait to order more!
Artwork: Nothing completes a home like a piece of art hanging on the wall. I love original pieces of art, and I always consider the art I buy as an investment for the home—paintings are items that'll be around forever, handed down through generations, and they never lose their value. I'm a huge fan of Katerina Mertikas, and not just because she's my mom. I love her art... and am proud to have many of her pieces in my home!
Spa Day: Okay, who doesn't love a day at the spa? If I could get a professional one hour massage every day, I totally would. I love treating myself to massages, pedicures, manicures, and facials. Taking care of myself is a priority, and it should be a priority for you, too! The Stillwater Spa in the Park Hyatt hotel is offering some amazing Mother's Day packages for the entire month of May—how fabulous is that? Here are some of the great offers for May:
