Mothers Day Gift Ideas

Mothers Day Gift Ideas

Mothers Day is just around the corner….This holiday still stings a little. Not really sure why either because my Mom hated getting gifts. She would always say, “Send me a hydrangea or a gift card to get my hair done.” Honestly now I just wish I would of done what she asked instead of tried to do otherwise. That was what she wanted, but I always thought I needed to be creative. Truth is, my mom was stupid simple! Like ridiculously simple and I don’t think I ever honored that because….well….I am not! That is the truth. Now I wish I would have just relished in her simplicity and then it would have alleviated so much stress! Learn from me!

Today I am here to help those of you whose moms might be like me….not simple….does not make them good or bad, just makes them someone who is hard to buy for. It is very ironic for me to write that. Why? Because I use to think my mom was hard to buy for and that was because I was too selfish not to see she was really simple and wanted just what she asked for… a phone call, a card, and time. That is all…..nothing big, unique, spectactular, or god forbid something she would have to dust! That makes me giggle but it is so true! So today I am bringing ideas to you especially if your mom is like me and likes thought out gifts. If she is not get her, her favorite flower, a card, a phone call, a framed picture, a gift card for a mani/pedi, or her hair. She will love it! Trust me…..but most importantly if you can, give her the gift of your presence. I so wish I could.

These are some of her amazing earrings…I have the rainbow hoops and love them!

Jewelry! Jewelry is always a good go to! I have two sources that I love! One is a personal friend and her jewelry is delicate and precious and the other designer I do not know, but I love the sentiment behind her pieces. Check these girls out! I promise you can’t go wrong and you might even find something for yourself.

First up the amazing Jennifer Porter. Now Jennifer’s pieces are unique and very classy. They are simple and pieces you can wear everyday. I love how delicate they look, but how amazingly sturdy they are. I wear my heart necklace ALL the time to remind me of Worthy Heart and my purpose. I have beautiful rainbow hoops which are multi colored sapphires, in honor of my beautiful boy JP and to remind me of God’s promise. I got these as a gift from two VERY special people in my life, Elizabeth and Corinne, and I wear them everyday. Jennifer does not have a website, but if you are on instagram I HIGHLY encourage you to go check her out @jenniferporterjewelry She is out of California, but if you live in Dallas, rumor has it she will be here in May before Mother’s Day. If you would like to go see her jewelry in person send me a private message and I will see what I can arrange. She has also generously offered my readers a discount code of 10% off if you mention WORTHY HEART! So go take a look and get you, your mom, and your friend a unique, beautiful, thoughtful, piece! Everyone wins!

This is my heart necklace that I wear everday all day and all night and everywhere! I love it so much!

For my more sentimental mommies. Lisa Leonard Design is your girl. I have a number of her pieces as well and each one represents something about my kids, from their names to their birthstones, to sentimental stories that only I would understand. If your mom is sentimental and likes jewelry I highly suggest you taking a look at this gal. Each piece is simple and can be worn with jeans or your little black dress. The nice thing is, no matter how you are dressed, you are always wearing a piece of your heart!

Some of my favorites! Each ring represents each one of my children. The gold one with diamonds in our precious baby in heaven.

If your mom is more like my mom and is so simple that the only piece of jewelry she wears is her wedding band you could consider skin care. After all we ladies like to keep our skin young and dewey! I have the perfect company for you! Busy Beauties. I am actually in love with their products. To see how I got started wearing their skin care click here! I promise your mom or friend will LOVE their products. They have hair products as well that I have not tried yet, but people who have just rave about it! So if you know someone who would love skin or hair products….or both….go check them out here If it is your first time to order they have given me a code of FIRST and you get 25% off your first order. If it is not your first time you can enter the code YAY20 and get 20% off! Happy shopping!

The next idea I have is what I got my mother in law….I really hope she is not reading this now….if you are Gramzee….HAPPY MOTHERS DAY! My mother in law LOVES to give gifts that help people and I wanted to incorporate that in the gift we got her this year. While I was at a women’s retreat at our Church in February there was a vendor who had the coolest product! SaPeyKa! They are a woman owned, who sell handmade quilts made from vintage saris in communities located in South Asia. How cool is that? And you guys, these quilts are stunning and so soft! I want one! They come in all kinds of colors and textures. I am thinking about getting each boy one for Christmas they are that GREAT! You can check them out here and I promise you will not go wrong with this gift! They are a little pricey for a blanket, but they are handmade and so stinking soft! I can’t wait to get my own! If you do purchase one, make sure to mention Worthy Heart’s Mother’s day post and you will get 20% off!!!! AWESOME DEAL on an AMAZING blanket!

If your mom is like me and likes to cook then a fun cooking gadget with an awesome tea towel or apron is always a neat gift. I have just the idea for you!

Last idea I have is my new water bottle from QuiFit! Every women needs to be drinking their water! If you are like me you need help and you need a challenge! I have it! Check this puppy out from Amazon!

Now if your mom has a sweet tooth like me and you want to give her something sweet yet classy, you really shoud check out We the Birds Macarons Their macarons are not only beautiful they are so tasty it is ridiculous!

Last but not least if you are in the Dallas area and you want to just stick with what my mom always asked for, I have the florist for you! She actually does it out of her home and her flowers are stunning! You can find her on instagram @haute_chic_designs. Her name is Sara Tran Quang and her work is impeccable! Take a look and message her if you are in the area! I know she would love to brighten your mothers home!

So there are a few ideas to treat your mom, sister, wife, friend, or honestly yourself! Being a mom is a challenging, but oh so rewarding job. Every once in a while it is nice to get a thoughtful gift that will remind us that the challenges we moms go through are so worth it for the beautiful gifts from God…..our children!

Happy Shopping and Happy Mothers Day!

XO,

Amy
