MOTHER'S DAY GIFT GUIDE

10 GIFT IDEAS FOR MOMS

Supermodel / actress and former World Health Organisation's Goodwill Ambassador, Liya Kebede discovered that weavers in her native country of Ethiopia were losing their jobs due to a decline in local demand for their goods and wanted to do something about it. So she started Lemlem in 2007 as a way to inspire economic independence in her native country and to preserve the art of weaving. These scarves are light, beautiful, and giving women jobs in Ethiopia...I think mom would approve. 

Capri Blue candles last forever and all smell amazing. Perfect for burning on long summer nights :)

Cheese Of The Month Club Membership 
If you live on the west coast I highly reccomend anything from Andrew's Cheese Shop in Santa Monica. The people there are amazingly helpful and will not steer your wrong. If you live on the east coast I recommend using New York's legendary Murrays' Cheese Shop



So she can show off pictures of her babies or grand babies. (I made one of Ernie haha)


Super soft throws from West Elm in every color for cuddling up with a good book. Only $23 :)


Comes ready to bake! Looks so yummy.




These sandals are perfect for summer, comfy, and look extremely flattering on (I have a pair). Their are 23 different colors to choose from so pick one for mom and go get pedicures. 


Flowers
You don't have to spend a bundle on blooms just because it's Mothers Day. Stop by your local farmers market for beautiful flowers that are affordable. Fancy arrangements are overrated. Also, live orchids are nearly impossible to kill so if you want to get her something that will last for a while opt for that. 


A book that will for sure make her laugh out loud. 




A book that is so sweet it will probably make her cry. A must have for new and old mothers alike, a simple children's book that shows the unconditional love a mother carries for her baby over her lifetime. Read this and it will definitely make you want to spend more time with your mom, which is what she really wants anyways :)
