As someone who is always last minute in everything she does, it's actually surprising I'm usually pretty on top of gift giving (aside from that one time I was 3 years late on a wedding gift - oops + so rude of me!). This year I've been a bit behind on Mother's Day and while I have a few small things, I'm in need of finding a real gift. Below I've rounded up three contenders in case you're in the same predicament I'm in:
6 Month subscription to Paris Breakfasts' Letters or Maps (or a subscription to both!). A blog I used to follow,
Paris Breakfasts, came back on my feed the other day and I realized the author now
sells monthly "letters" and "maps" of Paris that you can subscribe to! This is a perfect gift for any Francophile and/or art loving Mom and as a bonus, it's the gift that keeps on giving for 6 months.
Online Watercolor Class with Design House of Moira - I stumbled on this class when I was on a downward spiral, but love the idea of giving my Mom and experience she would love but wouldn't exactly sign up for herself. Ideally I would be able to get her a class in town, but I haven't done my research and I like that she can do the class at her own pace. If your Mom isn't an artist, maybe sign her up for a different kind of class!
Bouquet of flowers with The Exquisite Book of Paper Flowers by Livia Cetti of The Green Vase + materials to make her own flowers. - In case you couldn't tell, my Mom is a craft nut and as a result I am too. While I know she doesn't like paper flowers, I think she would enjoy attempting a new challenge (and maybe making me a few in the process?). If you have extra time, maybe pick up some of her flowers on
her website or
John Derian. I also bought some for myself from an etsy store,
Nectar Hollow, and loooooove them.
