Mother's Day 2015 Gift Guide + FREE Printable
Mother's Day is right around the corner, and I have 10 unique gift ideas to inspire you to step outside of the box this year. Now that just about everything is at our fingertips - thanks to the internet - we can now sit back and let our fingers do the work. Searching for the perfect gift can be simple and straightforward. I don't know about you, but I am an impatient shopper, and a shopping trip can quickly turn into an all day affair because I am also indecisive. I like to do my research first so that I know for sure that what I'm buying is actually what I want. Don’t forget Gramma! And there's just so much out there to be discovered, so planning ahead always helps to alleviate any stress or last minute shopping.
I really enjoyed putting these gift ideas together for you. Let's get inspired!

2. Dogeared Necklace

What makes these necklaces different? Each necklace contains a charm with a specific symbolic meaning attached to it. The message or meaning is printed on the card, which adds that personal touch to the piece, making it special and meaningful.
3. Subscription Box
glossybox.com
There are subscription boxes literally springing up everywhere. You can now get almost anything through a subscription service these days. It's the newest way to discover great products, and it is a genius idea at that. It's like Christmas at your doorstep - every month! Who doesn't like receiving gifts? I thought this would be the perfect gift idea for mom. It's a great way to remind her just how loved she is without you having to do the guesswork. Say you think she would enjoy snacks. Do a Google search with keywords snacks + monthly subscription, and take your pick. Beauty? There are tons of others to choose from. There are also many boxes that now feature products catered to the natural and eco-concious consumer such as vegan and organic options.
4. Food Delivery

Now, this one is along the lines with the subscription box, but I just had to include it. Being a mom myself, I would just love something like this just for the fun of it. What they do is send you a box filled with fresh ingredients for you to prepare a meal that has been pr-measured, prepped and complete with a recipe to follow. I think this is a great way for mom to try something new and out of her comfort zone. There are many companies providing this service, so check out the availability for your area! Here is a great resource that lists some of the different companies offering this service.
5. Casetify Phone Case
casetify.com
The neat thing about Casetify is that their cases are designed by artists or as they call it, "creative makers". So, you can find some pretty unique designs. You can also custom design your own case HERE with photos and uploads of your choice. The possibilities are endless.
6. Scentbird
scentbird.com
Here's a new product that you'll probably want for yourself too! You know how it takes years upon years to finish just one bottle of perfume? With this subscription service, she can try as many fragrances as she wants. What she gets is a 30-day supply of designer fragrance every month for only $14.95. Let mom pick from 350+ designer fragrances and receive a generous 0.27 oz/8 ml spray. How cool is that?! They currently have a Mother's Day gift where you can get a free deluxe candle set with a 6 or 12 month subscription.
7. Club W
clubw.com
Club W is the world's only personalized wine club. I'm pretty sure there are millions of moms out there that would just love us forever if we ever signed them up for this service. Three bottles of wine every month delivered right to their doorstep for $39 + $6 flat rate shipping? Ummm...yes, please! I'm sure this is on every mom's mother's day wish list, but she's just not telling you.
8. Chatbooks
chatbooks.com
Let's admit it, we all have a trillion photos in our phones, on our computers, Facebook, Instagram - everywhere! Why not make use of them and put together a bunch of memorable moments that mom can look back on. These photo books are perfect. They only cost $6 a piece and have 60 pages. You just create the book using their app. Plus, there's free shipping. Easy!
9. Breakfast in Bed
Homemade and from the heart is always the way to mom's heart. Make her feel extra special by making her breakfast in bed. Make sure it is a surprise! As soon as she wakes up, have it already prepared for her. There's nothing like waking up to your family all crowded around you and a delicious breakfast to enjoy without ever lifting a finger.
10. Succulents
We all know that moms love flowers, but how about something that she could enjoy year-round and that's low maintenance. Succulents are easy to plant, so you can basically place them in any type of container. How pretty would it be to do something like this with her initials? I'm sure she would love it, especially if it was made by you! Find them at home improvement stores or garden centers.
I hope this was helpful, and if you're a mommy (or soon-to-be) yourself, here's wishing you a Happy Mother's Day! Don't forget to download my FREE Mother's Day Printable!
