Mother's Day!

Hello my beautiful spring flowers! Mother's day is comin' up fast, as usual and this year I actually want to surprise my mom. Sound familiar? Well instead of your mom opening her present and faking a smile, make her really smile this time around. (Too blunt?) Creepy thing is, while I was putting this collage together, I visited the Coach website then checked my e-mail to see if I could get any ideas from my fav daily fashion fix, The Zoe Report! Side note: If you don't already, you need to read The Zoe Report! I love Rachel Zoe, the woman is my hero, along with my dear Coco and Audrey, of course. Anyway, I checked my e-mail and not only did I have a Mother's Day themed Zoe Report, but HELLO! They had mentioned pieces from Coach as gifts as well. Creepy. Back to the presents though.. One of the biggest, obvious, no-brainer presents is uh hello, flowers! What mother doesn't like to receive to flowers? What person doesn't like to receive flowers?! Personally, I like to use my local florist because I love supporting local businesses. 1-800-flowers.com works just as well though! Their website also has chocolates, fruits and more, not just flowers. Avoid a stuffed bear or any animal for that matter though. Oh! One the biggest things I forgot is music!! Does your momma looooove Michael Buble? (New album, so excited) Does she love Huey Lewis? Dean Martin? Pick up a new CD, I think the CD's are more personal than just an iTunes gift card. Just a quick tip though, make sure she doesn't already have the album! Now, living in a region of New York where wineries are everywhere you look, it's not uncommon that you're a wine drinker. I won't lie, yes, I've had wine on certain occasions but that's like Christmas or to celebrate. My mother loves to relax with a lovely glass of Finger Lakes wine. If you're of age, definitely bring her a new type of wine or if she's a little wine connoisseur pick up a fancy glass for her! However, when presenting this bottle, a ribbon or bow is a must! If your mum is a techie, pick up a chic, springy case for her iPad or e-reader from Coach. I also found an adorable silk scarf from Coach that I am seriously contemplating ordering for my mum! I know my mommy loves spending time outside so I was think some chic Kris-Jenner-style sunnies, some cute Vera Bradley gardening gloves and a wide brim fedora! Chances are your mom deserves some time to relax and rewind so pick up a relaxing  candle, refreshing face mask, foot mask and finish off with a bright coat of nail polish! Last thing, if you know your mom's style and shoe size, don't be afraid to pick up a cute pair of springy shoes! Just keep in mind, mommies usually need arch support! Whatever you give your mom, as long as your put thought into it, she'll love it.
