Gifts for Mom

Here are some idea's for Mom, on her special day!



William-Sonoma  has come up with a line of pots and pans suitable for the grill. Now you don't have to worry about your indoor pots and pans getting ruined on the grill or using flimsy tinfoil disposables that make you wonder if you can get them off the grill in one piece, BRILLIANT!!

Fabulous outdoor dinning idea's from Pottery Barn,

  1.  A ceramic beverage container that can be monogrammed
  2. A personal favorite the Hobnail drink-ware and pitcher set
  3. The condiment set.. Get those darn bottles off the table and into these adorable containers. 
  4. I love that pottery barn has their Caterers sets, they are absolutely perfect for summer time parties! For around 200.00 dollars you can feed a small army and not be tossing plates and plastic into the landfill!
 Cookbooks are always a great gift Taming the Flame and The New Vegetarian Grill are both from epicurious



I can so hear Julie Andrews in my head right now singing " these are a few of my favorite things" Because they are! I love tea, I love to read and a good quality comfy throw is the best!

  1. Teavana  if you have never experienced Teavana do yourself a favor and go into one of their shops or order some of the most delicious tea online. It's glorious! They have more tea's and flavors than you could ever imagine and the presentation is as important as the tea itself.  The Amandine decanter can be used for hot or cold tea and your tea service will be taken up a notch because it's so pretty.
  2. NOOK!!! I am the proud owner of a Nook colour and it changed my life, easy to read, portable and I can get all my books and periodicals online for immediate download.. Lately they have been adding apps and email to the Nook, it's becoming a mini tablet at a quarter the cost. If you love to read this will be the best gift you can get :) 
  3. Throws for those chilly mornings or evening of lounging around with your tea and Nook. These beauties are note worthy the Multi throw blanket couldn't be a more perfect picnic blanket or a great blankie for a nap. And the Peru summer throw by Suki Cheema is to die for, fantastic!






  1. Uncommon Goods have some of the best things, fun stuff for mom like the Gardening gift set, gloves and a pretty trowel or the tulip tree to be ( great gift for a first time mom ) . The make your own marina sauce planting kit comes with everything you need to plant and make your own marina sauce! 
  2.  Seeds to start a garden from scratch, the volume of seeds and the information available on American Meadows website is amazing! 
  3. Love the Muck boots, great colours and styles for home and garden chores,  how could you not enjoy weeding or watering when you look down at your dusty pink scrubs or wineberry palm daily shoes. 

I truly hope that if your a mom you have a fabulous day and if you are going to shop for mom you think about some of these items for the most special lady in your life ...

Happy Weekend !
 Jane
