Found on Etsy – Mother’s Day

*This Post Contains Affiliate Links.

This week, I’ve decided to showcase some great potential Mother’s Day gifts.  Mother’s Day is fast approaching, and I tend to wait until the last minute to shop.  So, every year, my mom gets a plant, or a flower, or a plant, or a…  You get the idea.  I’m not real creative, over here.  Maybe this year, I can shock her, and find something that she will really love.  And maybe I can find some things to throw hints at my husband about.  Maybe?  OK, Probably.

Before I start, though, a little on the history of Mother’s Day.  Mother’s Day was first celebrated in the U.S. in 1908 by Anna Jarvis, and it became an official holiday in 1914.   It is interesting to note that even though Anna Jarvis was instrumental in Mother’s Day being recognized as an official holiday, she later denounced the holiday’s commercialization and spent the latter part of her life trying to remove it from the calendar.  While dates and celebrations vary, Mother’s Day most commonly falls on the second Sunday in May and traditionally involves presenting mothers with flowers, cards and other gifts.  It is not only celebrated in the United States, but it is celebrated in different forms throughout much of the world.

Now, on to the fun part!

 

I think this Wooden Crate featuring your choice of 4 succulents or cacti  from RileysOasis is so cool!  I would love to get this as a gift.  So unique!

 

OK, this one just made me giggle.  Check out this mug from Abbingtons.

 

This Mom Book Origami is really kind of different.  I think this decorative piece made by BooksByBrittney would look really cool sitting up on a shelf or mantel.

 

I have wanted one of these Pottery Bread Bakers FOREVER.  AyersPottery has the neatest ones.  I love the colors, and each one includes a recipe and ideas for other uses for these handmade bowls.

 

How about this unique Porcelain Wind Chime from EarthWindStoneware for your Mom?

 

This stained glass panel from hankbarnes1234 is absolutely gorgeous!  I am totally, 100%, in love with this.  The colors are so bright and vivid.  Beautiful!

 

All of these items would make great gifts for the Mothers in your life, but if you are looking for jewelry, I’m intentionally saving that for next week.  There is so much to choose from, and I want to find my absolute favorites.  So, if you didn’t see something you love today, make sure and check back next week for some gorgeous jewelry for your wife, mother, or even for yourself.

XOXO!
