My mom collects blue and white antique plates. She also collects scarves.
My Mother’s Day shopping is now done.
(I also got her this, but alas, the print is all sold out.)
‘Tis the season for Mother’s Day gift guides (my gift picks will be up next week).
Rounding them up:
Real Simple makes it, well, real simple
Cool Mom Picks: because moms know what other moms want
Great giveaways over at An Ordinary Life and Tech Savvy Mama
Someone Spoil Me has teamed up with People’s StyleWatch to offer its gift guide at 20% off
Etsy gets in the game with guides for jewelry, new mothers, classic gifts, and greetings & flowers
If I left your gift guide out, let me know in the comments!
Just in time for spring gifting season, Bloomie’s is chock full of new goodies. While not necessarily cheap, these home goods won’t be something your mama/newly married best friends/hostess whose front yard you’re digging up for a plastic easter egg will hide in a cabinet until you come over.
1. Stainless Steel Asparagus Pot by All Clad; 2. The very strange, very appealing Paris Votive by Bernardaud (check out the other patterns, including a Chicago version); 3. Nambé “Butterfly” Salad Bowl Set; 4. Michael Aram for Waterford Woodgrain Cocktail Shaker; 5. Mediterraneo Kitchen Jars by Alessi; 6. Latte Machiatto Mug by Konitz; 7. Jungle Jubilee by Lynn Chase–one big serving piece is all you need; 8. Jardins Du Monde Ceramic Collection by Juliska–a set of dessert plates from this lovely line is a more than generous gift; 9. The Ice Cream Scoop & Stack by Cuisipro makes perfect ice cream plops; 10. FrouFrou by 1891 by Sferra Sheets are actually more elegant basic than over-the-top froufrou; 11.

Clare Flower Pots by Marc Jacobs Waterford; 14. “Banana Brothers” Salt/Pepper Set by Alessi (do kayaking monkeys really need commentary?); 15. “Tea Over Ice” Pitcher System by Tea Forte.
