My due date is one week before Mother's Day, which means I will most certainly have gifts for my mom and mother-in-law ordered before the day comes. I can't imagine what sort of gift I'd order from the hospital, in that post-baby-delirium-slash-blissed-out state.
I thought I'd share a few of the Mother's Day gifts I've been eyeing.
Maya Angelou's book Mom & Me & Mom. I recently heard Maya speak on a podcast about her relationship with her mom and I thought it would be such a thoughtful Mother's Day gift. She is so wise!
A painting of her house from That's So Fletch. A girl I know from Atlanta paints these and I think they're so beautiful. Such a sweet way to remember a season.
Compose Prayer Journal. I can't imagine how much mamas must pray for their babies. We pray for ours all the time and we haven't even met it yet! I think these journals are lovely.
Strong Is the New Pretty. I love this book. I have almost purchased it for our coffee table a million times. Such a nice tribute to women and girls everywhere.
Joan of Arc sign from Magnolia Market. We have this in our house and every time I feel nervous about childbirth, I stand in front of it and remind myself my body was made to do this. Kind of silly, I know. But it works!
Laneige Water Sleeping Mask. I convinced my mom to try this in December and she was totally hooked. It is deeply moisturizing and feels more luxurious than a $26 product. I can't imagine anything better than that for a hard working mama!
A bundle from The Letter Project :) Honor your mama with us! For $10, you can sponsor one bundle. Following your donation, you'll receive an email with a printable card to give her, explaining just how generous you were!
What other ideas do you have? I'm ordering my gifts this week!
