Hello, dear friends. Did you have a good weekend? The weather was gorgeous here, and we managed to check a few things off our Spring list.
Our boss told us that Friday was the day to hit the nurseries.
She may be cute, but she is tough.
We managed to fill some pots.
And window boxes.
And even a few hanging baskets.
*****
Here are a few more Mother's Day gift ideas for the Mom who likes to cook and entertain. This is my third post on Mother's Day gifts. You can find the other two here and here.
Aerin Lauder's new line of dishware is great looking. If your Mom is a self-confessed plate addict and adores blue and white like moi, I'm sure she would appreciate some pieces from this line.
These are great because they go with everything.
You could use my old trick and give her a pitcher filled with some spring flowers.
Amazon
I have two of these and always have them on each end of the table filled with lemons and ice water when we have guests.
When we don't have guests, the Mister has to get up from the table and help himself at the sink.
If you missed it, my last post covered the beautiful luncheon over at Tina's from The Enchanted Home. Many of the accessories seen on this table including those gorgeous monogrammed napkins are for sale in her shop. If your Mom (or you) enjoy entertaining, stop over and browse. Prepare to drool.

My #1 owns one of these indoor grills and loves it.
Who wants to waste precious calories walking outside to the grill?
For the Mom who likes to watch her family's calories, this set may be perfect for her.

I have these canisters in my kitchen. They have survived three moves and have fared better than me.
MC has a few patterns to choose from, all very pretty.
The following books are all new releases.
The author who wrote this book has been described by Bon Appetit as the Chef who makes the best pizza in America.
I guess they haven't met the Mister.

High marks for Jessica Seinfeld's new cookbook that has both healthy and not-so-healthy recipes.
Buy it - she needs the money.

This memoir of a world-renown chef has been described as funny as well as fierce.
If your Mom loves Mary Kay's novels, I have a feeling that her mouth will water over her new cookbook filled with easy breezy recipes.
Is your Mom a vegetarian?
This cookbook will give her lots of yummy recipes and inspiration.

Meg Braff, a fabulous designer, gives steps in creating a pretty, polished home.
I wonder if she has any steps in creating a home that you never have to clean...

I've had a subscription to Veranda for many years. If your Mom likes to drool over gorgeous photos and appreciates entertaining tips, this book is for her.
This is a must-have for any Mom who is a fan of Southern Charm.
By the way, SC fans - did you hear that Cameron is expecting a baby girl?
You heard it here first.
You're welcome.

If your Mom enjoyed Girl On A Train, Paula Hawkins' new page-turner will be released this week.
This Clever Kabob maker will enable your Mom to save time and make 16 kabobs in minutes. That way, she will have more time for Bravo TV.
Btw... the Clever Kabob video is fascinating.

The health-conscious Mom will be happy to see this spiralizer coming her way.

If your Mom gets irritated when family members forget to clean the microwave after using it, she will be delighted with an Angry Mama.

Is your Mom a tea drinker?
This cute little guy, Fred, would love to infuse her tea.
Don't push him too hard though... he tires easily. Just like me.
MacKenzie-Childs
Or maybe she would appreciate a pretty new teapot.
I've had mine forever, although I just started using it lately since I have developed a taste for tea with my bag of Oreos.
Amazon
Maybe she prefers her tea on ice.

Or if iced coffee makes her boat float, they even make a machine for that.
If your Mom goes on a diet every other week like me, she will love this new blender to whip up healthy smoothies.
And when she gets bored with her new healthy lifestyle, she can use it for Margaritas.
You can include this book to keep her on track.
Etsy
This looks like something that my #1 would give me.
I can't wait until I hear them say this phrase.
Still waiting...
Where were these when my girls were little?
Until next time...

ReplyDeleteI LOVE the things you come up with, Katie. It always makes me smile when I come visit you....or cry because of the things in my life that I am missing and know I need to become the perfect trophy wife---like yourself.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a fabulous week! xo Diana
You never fail to make me smile, Katie. I am going to pass these ideas down to my children ASAP!

I love Williams Sonoma's Meyer Lemon line - so refreshing.
ReplyDeleteLaughed at your Jessica Seinfeld comment! That's such a wonderful kettle. Your suggestions are fantastic, Katie. Do your girls read your blog and follow your advice when picking out gifts for you for Mother's Day? -Jenn
ReplyDeletedear Mom, I get it now......my sistas and I were all saying that this past weekend as the last of the grandchildren got married in the church we all grew up in. Great ideas, all, but I wish someone would empty my cart at WS that's full of the Meyer lemon soap and lotion....in the jumbo size.
ReplyDeleteHappy May, Katie!
Good morning my dear friend
ReplyDeleteI hope you are enjoying a sunny day for the first of May. I just love the plants you have chosen for your garden pots and boxes the colours are gorgeous.
I'm going to make some notes on your suggestions, so many good books especially ( as always!) I hope your girls are reading and taking notes too
I also have one of the portable gas grills they are fantastic for picnics. We take ours to the coast of Wales and cook on the beach, it is bliss :)
Much love to you
Sally xx
Hello sweet Sally! Thank you so much for your card and most of all the sweet note. Just the though of cooking on the beach on the coast of Wales jumpstarts my daydreaming button. Enjoy your week, dear Sally.
DeleteNow the cork dork is going to stick in my head all day and it has absolutely nothing to do with my day job! I will get right on sending Jessica my contribution....you are right she needs a little girl mad money.-Laurel Bledsoe
ReplyDeleteThanks for the fun Katie, that tea infuser is just too much!! :)
ReplyDeleteJenna
That teapot looks just perfect for you. I'm assuming you sip your tea with your checked bag close by, right? It's all too cute! I need to read 'A girl on the train' and also watch the movie. Love Emily Blunt. And isn't that little tea infuser the cutest thing! Hope you have a good week. Hi to the fur kids. xo
ReplyDeleteOh Dear Katie, I need to copy and paste this post and send it to my son! So many wonderful gift ideas for mom and all of them are fabulous. Love those MC canisters! I always love visiting here, know I will be smiling or laughing out loud after your posts. Just back from a much needed vacation after trashing the house to do updates. You've kept me smiling through it all! Happy week dear girl, lucky too getting to see Tina's home.....
ReplyDeleteI love the MC floral canisters!
ReplyDeleteSo much fun!! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteFabulous gift ideas AND a Souther Charm scoop. You truly are a full-service blogger!
ReplyDeleteI want every single thing!!! You are amazing.
ReplyDeleteHi Katie! I forwarded this to my kids with a little note that I really need the Margarita mixer!! I can see that I need to find out about this Southern Charm series as I am now intrigued and wondering who in the world Cameron might be! My SIL actually gave me that little tea man but now I need the angry mama. I'm sure I was the model for her as everyone in my house KNOWS they must clean the microwave after every use! Or else. Have a great day and thanks for the list! Linda
ReplyDeleteYOU were on a ROLL the DAY you MADE this POST!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI want an old mattress pulled down from THE LOFT in the SONS room wrapped in plastic so I can put it on the OLD FRENCH DAY BED in the GARDEN with a GORGEOUS cover.........probably a TJMAXX BUY so BANKSY AND I can NAP in the afternoon!
DO YOU THINK IT WILL COME TRUE??
I want every single thing in this post! (Especially your blue hydrangeas!) And you cannot have too many carafes for wine, water or whatever! Everything looks lovely -- lots of good ones here, Katie!
ReplyDeleteSo many wonderful things for Mother's day. I better get on this! Love your sweet fur baby's face. Have a happy week.
ReplyDeleteWow -- so many wonderful ideas! I'll have to print this and highlight my faves for my family! Thanks for the scoop on Cameron from Southern Charm -- had not heard that and am a bit surprised!
ReplyDeleteIn 2017, Mother Day is May 14th. Mother’s Days gift ideas are a perfect way to show your love for Mom. Thank your mom or wife for all she's done with a Mother's Day present that will surprise and delight her. Browse our collection of Unique Best Mother's Day Gifts to find presents that match her passions and pleasures.

And be sure to check out our collection of gourmet treats and colorful bouquets that are great Mother's Day gift ideas.
ReplyDeleteFor Mother's Day Gifts for Young Women , give her flowers. Roses are always sweet, but lilies are also a delightful Mother's Day gift idea to have delivered right to her door. If you're looking for gifts for new mothers, make it all about the baby with cute onsides, personalized baby blankets, and a memory book that she can use to track all the milestones her baby makes. Memory boxes are also a thoughtful way to help her display her growing family's progress. To celebrate grandma for Mother's Day, think about getting her a photo album or picture frames to fill with all the memories you've made with her.
There is nothing grandmas enjoy more than a table filled with photos of your dearest children and grandchildren. Or, for the adventurous and well-traveled grandma, some Mother's Day unique gift ideas could be a map for her to hang on the wall and some luggage for her to use on her next big adventure. Always consider giving Mother's Day personalized gifts to get that same thoughtful feel of homemade art when you were younger, with less spilled glue. Kitchen tools, gadget gear, and other Mother's Day ideas can be personalized to add a thoughtful touch and make her life easier. An engraved casserole dish means she'll never lose it at a potluck.
A personalized iPad cover can remind dad whose iPad he's ?borrowing.? Show your thoughtfulness by getting her Perfect Mother's Day items that she can use the year. Moms are our heroes and Mother's Day is just one day, among many, where we can show our appreciation for everything they do.
