I can hardly believe it’s May already, and was astonished to know that Mother’s Day is this weekend (*don’t worry Mom, I already know what I’m getting you!).  I know for many of us, it can be hard to find the perfect gift for someone special, especially when you’ve always used up all your “good gift ideas” that you have for them.  When I get stuck, I’ll try to think of what type of person they are; what hobbies they like and what types of things they do in their spare time.  Then if I really get stuck, I’ll ask for help and get suggestions.

Here’s a few Etsy gift suggestions for wonderful Mother’s Day gifts:

• Indigo striped bowl with assortment of succulents, from greenwaredesign 
(for the Mom who loves plants, but is afraid she might have a “black thumb”)

• Charcoal satin silk corsage flower brooch, from TheBroochBoutique
 (for the accessories-loving or business suit-wearing Mom, to add a simple touch to her outfit)

• Gray square tiles weekender, by DrikaB
 (a splurge for a Mom who loves to travel or has everything under the sun in her purse and still needs more room)

• Luxury Handmade Soap Trio Gift Box, from sweetpetula 
(for the Mom who loves to use luxurious bath products and knows how wonderful handmade soap is)

If all else fails, the best gift any Mom could want is some special time with you, so treat her to a day out: visit a museum together, go on a hike or picnic, or take her to lunch!
