Happy Wednesday, everyone!
Phew… time is flying by this spring, and I realized that
Mother’s Day is coming up very shortly! I
always knew my mom was awesome. But in
my adulthood, I’ve started to truly realize
just how amazing she really is, and how wonderful, and even necessary to have this special day to honor
her. (This
page has some great ideas ;)
Recently I’ve been talking with the lovely people at Uncommon
Goods, and stealing looks at their website for Mother’s Day gift
inspiration. If you’re unfamiliar with
this company- not only do they offer unique and handcrafted products, but their
entire manifesto is one of facilitating positive change in the world. They are all about supporting artists, and
the general well-being of people, animals, and the environment.
Did you know they hold a series of panels in Brooklyn to
help small businesses? Topics include
things like how to network, implementing green practices, and using social
media tools to grow your business. I
actually went to one last month, and it was awesome!! They also do things like design challenges to
help people get their work out there, and support a non-profit with every
purchase.
Either way, their site is chock-full of stunning offerings
for Mother’s Day. It’s a really amazing
place to find a unique gift for her special day! Here
are some things that I’d like to buy for my mom J
This
salt test-tube set is pretty cool!! There
are several varieties of salt from all over the world, and they all have
different uses.
My mom also loves tea- just like I do! These
are also in test tubes, and are a ton of different varieties.
This
statement is so true, and something my mom would be totally into.
I don’t know why I think my mom would like this bag. I think she has a similar one. The print just reminds me of an adventurous
soul… it makes me happy and makes me think of her J
So time for the next part…

ReplyDeleteWhat refreshingly new ideas for mother's day gifts! I especially love the salt and tea testers. Wish I could attend one of those meetings about networking your work (could so use the help!) - maybe you could post your notes? Pretty please? ;)

ReplyDeleteI l-o-v-e Uncommon Goods! I haven't had a chance to purchase anything from them yet, but I browse their store all the time. My dad is a salt fanatic (like me) and I've thought about getting him that salt kit! I also love the tea one. That purse is PERFECT for an adventurer! What fab finds!
ReplyDeleteI love giving people gifts!
