The Weekend: 5 Things

This was the first time that I was seeing Mandi since we learned of her engagement so as girls, we just couldn’t stop being excited! It also happened to be her fiance Eric’s birthday as well so it was a double birthday/engagement celebration over in Sausalito at Bar Bocce. It was the perfect day trip getaway for us.

Waffles & Honey – Mother’s Day Boxes

Mother’s Day is right around the corner and I wish I could say that when it came to presents for my mother, I was always nailing it. The truth is this – she loves the Tieks and that’s a sure thing, always! This year though, I’d like to get a little bit more creative with my gifts so I’ve been doing some research and came across these three lovely Mother’s Day Boxes from Waffles & Honey. Now, she won’t really love this as much as I would getting these as a gift, but in case anyone is looking I still thought it was worth the post. These boxed type gifts have been what everyone is talking about lately and I think it’s just because people in general love getting packages with lots of little things inside. Pictured above is the Spa Day Mother’s Day Gift Box and here’s what it includes:

Each box contains:

  • The initial letter necklace of your choice, to represent the ones she holds most dear (Add additional letters using the drop down menu below ‘Add to Cart’ button). We are currently sold out of the heart and “x” charms.
  • An individually hand-poured candle made with pure soy wax and a wooden wick.
  • Hand-crafted Himalayan sea salt and grapefruit body scrub.
  • Artisan chocolate covered Brazilian espresso beans.
  • A relaxing bundle of dried lavender.
  • Our handmade Mother’s Day quote.
  • A note card for you to enclose your message.

Super sweet, right?! We are loving this idea by Waffles & Honey. Would you purchase this for your mom this Mother’s Day?!

Mother Lover

…an ode to my very special E-team…

Yow Yow! loves mothers. I love my mother. And because these two things are synonymous, we thought it made perfect sense to compile a list of gifts that we know mothers are going to love on their special day.

We’re also writing this post now so that you may have a fighting chance at getting your gift to your mother on time. Sorry, we’re not always so good on timelines. In the end, I’ve always been more about giving a present with thought than just spending a whole lot of money on one thing. Visiting a photographer’s studio with your mother for family portraits could be a precious gift to make this day worth remembering for her. You may want to plan this visit before by finding the best photo studios nearby with the help of the internet. For example, you can look for “family photography Minneapolis” to get in touch with one of them. No matter what you give, your mom is going to love it and love you even more. Happy Mother’s Day Moms!

1. I’ve never met anyone that didn’t like brunch. Moms love brunch. Trust.
