Mother's Day is coming nearer, and if you are struggling with what to give this elegant woman who gave you life, taught you more than you realize even now, and are looking for the perfect gift, I put together these gift ideas to put a smile on her face and make you her favorite say thank you for all that she is, and does.
Of course if you are the mom, you can just forward the links to your husband and kids {I'm sure they'll get the hint.}
HERE ARE MY 2017 BEST GIFT PICKS FOR MOM - they range from the very affordable to the indulgent.

FRENCH GARDENER'S GIFT BASKET 110.00
For the Mom who comes alive while digging in the dirt. Our French style Gardener's Basket is filled with little seedling pots, chalk plant markers, twine for binding up leggy plants, scissors, and a wooden hand painted sign that spells out "Jardin" to hang on the gate.

BOHEMIAN ROSE BOWLS 58.00
For the Mom who is completely up-to-date with decorating trends. Our Bohemian Rose Bowl Set will bring a little touch of boho in Mom's home. She can use them to serve salads, or late night ice cream, float roses in them as a centerpiece for her next dinner party, or simply set them here and there and fill with guest soaps, her pearls and jewelry, shells, or crystals.

LUXURY BATH. 46.00
For the Mom who does it all, and deserves to be pampered. Elevate her next bath with our Lavender and Rosemary Bath Ice. Softly scented with lavender and rosemary, we packaged it up in a glass jar, embellished with a French Bee in a laurel wreath, and added a wood scoop.

FRENCH COUNTRY LINEN TOTE. 68.00
For the Mom who loves all things natural and organic, our French Country Tote is stylish as well as incredibly handy. Organic linen and embroidered crown gives this bag polish, the large style helps her haul beach essentials - or finds from the flea market - home. And yes, the rest of the family's stuff too.

ANTIQUE CAFE AU LAIT BOWL 125.00
For the Mom who adores her morning coffee, French style. Our antique Cafe au Lait Bowls are avidly collected, as the truly antique bols, as they are called in France are getting more and more difficult to find. These floral wonders are rare Maastricht bowls, from 1891, and especially beautiful for your Mom, if she adores blue & white!

EXCLUSIVE FRENCH LAVENDER CANDLE 40.00
For the Mom who likes everything to smell fabulous. Give her our exclusive luxury French Lavender Candle, she will recall her favorite days in Provence, when the sun shone bright way until almost midnight, and she sat with your dad next to the lavender fields and talked over glasses of local wine for hours and hours.

I love that photo of you and your mom.
The most important thing in gift-giving is to think of the receiver’s tastes. That can be very fraught when it’s one’s mother, even when the relationship is good. Days like Mother’s Day offer a good moment to give the empathy muscle a workout. The best gift, though, is the hardest: our time.
