7- Fabulous Last Minute Mother's Day Gift Ideas.

Try as we might to be amongst the early birds, some of us still always succumb to the last minute woes. But fear not! You still have time to get your Mom something special...

Books:

I have three on my list this year because personally, I love all three, but you can choose a fave.

Justina Blakeney's The New Bohemian book is total bliss. Seriously.

Gabrielle Blair's Design Mom: How to Live with Kids is simply perfect. I love her perspective on living with children and the great tips she includes in her book.

Our own Kristy Harvey of Design Chic(1'm so proud of her!) Dear Carolina book tells a beautiful and heartwarming story! Perfect read during Mom's "me time."

Flowers:

A special delivery from The Bouqs is sure to put a smile on Mom's face. They are beautiful! Orders must be placed by 2:00PM EST to arrive Next Day. Free Delivery Tues-Fri.

Chocolate:

Mom deserves only the finest and Prestat Chocolate delivers on that. They will melt in Mom's mouth and are a great way to make Mom know how sweet she is!

A Compliment Jar:

This one will probably cost you $0! Many of us have beautiful mason jars and paper around our home. Cut out some strips from paper, and write compliments to Mom on them. So fun, right!?

Candles:

Mrs. Meyers offer some affordable scented soy versions that I like. Happy shopping! xx
