  1. I love some of the bags you have here! Lots of great ideas. Another fun idea is a fruit basket or fruit bouquet, or a port of flowering plants that she can enjoy all summer.

    • Thanks Jennifer! We actually thought of fruit baskets, but we only found organic fruit baskets in California. Flowering plants is a great idea too!! I agree!

  2. Mother’s Day is always tough for me because my mom deserves so much for all she does, it never seems like any single day will be enough for me to express my gratitude. These gift ideas are a good start though… At least, there are loads of things I sure would love to get! Hope my mom feels the same way. 😉

  3. Thank you for including us Princess 😉
