Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

May 9, 2014 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 4 Comments

Good morning! Although Mother’s Day is Sunday I have fallen behind getting ready for it, I mean I have my cards mailed but what do you give to the person who has everything?  I like to give food, books and music, but flowers and candy a are great alternative too.

Here are a few of my gift ideas:

Chocolate Spiced Tea by Kusumi Tea

An excellent tin of tea, the Chocolate Spice by Kusumi is a favorite, or a beautiful chocolate pot to make chocolat chaud for a cold rainy afternoon. 

A fabulous French chocolate pot

A selection of cookbooks. My Paris Kitchen is filled with excellent recipes and wonderful stories. And The Back in the Day Bakery is filled scrumptious treats from my favorite bakery in Savannah!

A few cd’s are always a good idea. 

David Garrett

Maybe a favorite perfume?

Jo Malone perfume
Lollia

Of course the best gift is your time, life is short and time is precious, spend it wisely.

I hope that you have a great day!

  • Do you have a favorite cookie? I have never really had a favorite cookie. But my youngest daughter, Kelsi, really enjoys a good Peanut Butter Cookie and she swears that these are the best cookie I make! My husband and I were talking today and we were wondering why Peanut Butter cookies have the little fork "hashtag" mark on them. According to Spoon University, " In 1936 a Pillsbury recipe called for the fork marks for Peanut Butter Cookies but gave no explanation as to why."&nbs…

Good morning friends! I need prayers, lots of pray Good morning friends! I need prayers, lots of prayers. My nephew was hit by a car on Thursday while riding his bike. To respect my brothers wishes I can’t say more. I believe in the power of pray and I would appreciate it tremendously if you could pray for my nephews full recovery as well as for his parents who are by his side. Sadly because of Covid they cannot be with him together at the same time. Thank you friends I appreciate this more than I can say. Have a wonderful day and remember life is fragile, it changes in an instant, hug your kids, your parents, your friends, family and pets. #powerinprayer #prayer #prayers #thereispowerinprayer #lifelately #spring #birds #birdsofinstagram

This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life through the blur of tears and sorrow. Sunday night my friend of 34 years lost her husband of 36 years, because of Covid he did not get to meet or hold his newborn grandson. Then just an hour ago we received a call that my husbands best friend died of a massive heart attack this morning. Sometimes life just knocks you to your knees and all you can do is pray for the  loved ones you’ve lost, cherish their memories and let your time with them sustain you until you meet again. Then you ask God for the strength to get up and move forward. #life #loss #givemestrength #givemestrengthlord #pray
Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping up from the ground, bright and colorful flowers in the garden center the weather and the calendar tell me otherwise. So I am hunkering down and taking solace inside enjoying the details of a collected home and life. This tapestry is a piece that we purchased over 25 years ago in Paris, it hang in the dining room and makes me smile every time I see it because it reminds me of such a happy and beautiful place. What do you collect? What brings you joy in your home? #collectedhome #collectedlook #homedecor #myhome #homesweethome #interiordesign #frenchprovincial #france #frenchdecor #tapestry #instahome #instahomedecor #acolectedlife #collection
