Spoiling mom: Gift ideas for Mother's Day 2018

Ever since I've become a mom, I've realized how much my own mother has done for me. I know we all feel like our mom is the best ever, right, but my mom it truly the most selfless, giving, incredible human being on the planet. Plus, she can cook and bake and sew and do all the things. She makes me strive to be a better mom. 

So I struggle each year when it comes to Mother's Day. How could anything I ever give her measure up to ALL THE THINGS she's done for me? Truth be told, the gift probably won't. BUT, I can definitely choose something that shows her how much we all love her. And that's my plan this year! I've compiled a list of some of my favorite things for mom this year just in case you're needing some shopping help too! 

Take her out for a meal
I know that seems super simple, and it is, but it's also SUPER appreciated. Take mom out for brunch or dinner - somewhere nice, where she can sit down and eat a hot meal. If she has littles, hold them for her so she can enjoy said meal! If you're local to South Bend, Tippecanoe Place has the most amazing Mother's Day brunch, and Bistro 933 is our fave hidden gem for dinner! 

A KEEP Collective arm party

Has she bought anything for herself lately? Maybe she needs something new, just for her! Enter the KEEP Collective arm party stack! It's no secret that KEEP is one of my absolute favorite gifts because of it's totally personalized nature. Snag her something with her kiddos birthdates, initials, or birthstones, and I guarantee she'll love it (and you!) forever. And if you can't think of what the perfect pieces would be for her, you can check out and customize our best selling bundles - it takes the guesswork out of whether or not the pieces will look perfect! 

Personalized Wall Art
I'm constantly wanting to find the perfect pieces for our house - for above our bed, our couch, our coffee bar. So when I stumbled onto Minted's heart shaped photo collage, I totally fell in love! I love that this piece can pull in all the people, places, and things she loves, and you can choose the size to best fit your needs and budget! 

Farmer's Market Mother's Day Bouquet

I'll be totally honest and tell you I haven't used this site before, but, you guys, the arrangements on Bouqs.com are seriously gorgeous! They seem reasonably priced, and I'll tell you, there's just something special about having flowers around in the spring time (to be fair, it's typically our anniversary weekend too, so flowers make me all sorts of sentimental about our big day!)!

Joanna Gaines anything
Let's just be clear about this. Moms sort of LOVE Joanna Gaines. I don't think I've met one mom that's like, "Oh her? Ehh, she's okay." She's just real and down to earth and adorable. And so is her recipe book. If the recipes are half as awesome as she is, it's a win! 

A fun Graphic Tee

Mom's gotta have something to wear, right? Snag her a new graphic tee that she can wear while chasing kiddos or running errands (like this adorable Instant Mom: Just Add Coffee piece. It's perfect for mom. Or me. Or whatever.
