Last Minute Gift Guide: Mother’s Day Edition

Gift Guide

Signal the alarm because Mother’s Day is less than two weeks away!

I’m generally the person who forgets until the week of a holiday and by that point, it’s too late to order an edible arrangement or some other kind of generic delivery gift.

For that reason, I have compiled a list of gifts your mom will love that are pretty inexpensive and easy to find!

1. DIY Spa Gift Basket

If you’re too late to order a gift basket from Harry & David, why not DIY it? Go to Sephora, Ulta, and/or Target and find some cute products that your mom could use to have an at home spa night!

Some examples of things to include:

  • GLAMGLOW Mud Mask— Mini Size $24
    • I often use the brightening or the charcoal one, but I linked the firming one, because she had to raise at least one child and that’s bound to cause some fine lines, right?!
  • Cucumber Eye Mask — $5
  • Philosophy Bubble Bath— $18

philosophy - Senorita Margarita Shampoo, Shower Gel & Bubble Bath 16 oz/ 480 mL

2. Lipsense

This is actually what I’m getting my mom for Mother’s Day!

My sweet friend from college (Instagram: @xesandohs if you’re interested) sells Senegence products and has sold me on LipSense. I was a little tentative because it was a MLM (think Mary Kay or Plexus), but it’s actually really great! It’s basically a lip stain that stays like none other. I really like the colors Aussie Rose and Bella and love the Rose Gloss. My mom kept complimenting me on Aussie Rose, so I got her the LipSense starter kit ($55), which includes the remover (to take it off), a lip color, and a gloss.

3. Massage Envy Gift Card

After my wedding, I got my mom and MIL both gift cards to Massage Envy to thank them for all of their help with planning and everything. They both really loved it, because massages aren’t something that either or them tend to splurge on. But who deserves a massage more than your mom?!

4. Cute Anthro Mug

Your mom probably has enough “#1 Mom” and “Mother of the Year” mugs. Get her a really pretty one instead!

Here’s some cute ones from Anthropologie that are available right now!

Nesma Mug: $14

Tea Time Monogram Mug: $10

5. Flowers That Won’t Die After 1 Week

You could get your mom a pretty flower arrangement, but that will die in a week or so.

Alternatively, you could get her an orchid or some other kind of flower that can grow easily in her kitchen, and will live for a lot longer (hopefully) 😉

What are you getting for your mom this year? Share your ideas in the comments!

Guess who doesn’t have gestational diabetes? 🙂‍↕️ Guess who doesn’t have gestational diabetes? 🙂‍↕️
After having GD with my first pregnancy, I am SO relieved to not have to check blood sugars and be monitoring this time around— however, I’m still being mindful and conscious of my carbs, because I do think it’s better for me and baby (but I’m not being quite so restrictive now!!)

Breakfast: savory breakfast muffins (recipe on my page!)
Lunch: leftover sheet pan lasagna (recipe by @sara.haven) and raspberries
Snack: jalapeño chips, havarti, and dill pickles IYKYK
Dinner: fish, @brazi_bites, and roasted veggies
Bedtime snack: @fairlife chocolate milk always 🍫🥛

I recommend priming your sheets of plywood FIRST, then tracing your outline of the characters and then cutting them out! It makes it easier to see the image if you’re using a projector, and then it’s also easier to see your outline when you start painting!

DIY “Terracotta” Pumpkins 🎃 I love the look of th DIY “Terracotta” Pumpkins 🎃 
I love the look of the terracotta pumpkins, but knew I could DIY it for less 😌
Just mix up some baking soda into paint until it forms a gritty paste and apply a couple of coats to a cheap plastic pumpkin. On your last coat while it’s still a LITTLE wet, sprinkle on some additional baking soda and dust it around with a paint brush. #falldecorations #diyhalloween #halloweendecorations

I tried my best to keep it on a budget bc WHYYYY are pillows so expensive??? #bedroomstyle #pregnancy #roommakeover
I made these carb-balanced/blood sugar friendly/hi I made these carb-balanced/blood sugar friendly/high protein breakfast muffins often in my first pregnancy and honestly have enjoyed them well beyond pregnancy! They’re only 5 ingredients and give the bready texture I was missing when I had gestational diabetes. It’s kind of similar to a sausage ball! I normally eat 2-3 muffins for breakfast as each muffin has about 7 grams of carbs and 12 grams of protein!

5-INGREDIENT SAVORY BREAKFAST MUFFINS
* 1 pound of turkey sausage (or whatever type you like)
* 4 eggs
* 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
* 1 cup Kodiak cake baking mix
* 1/3 cup cottage cheese

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350℉ and spray a 12-cup muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray
2. In a pan over medium heat, add the sausage and crumble while cooking. Cook until no longer pink. Remove from heat and allow to cool briefly.
3. In a bowl, crack the eggs and lightly beat. Add shredded cheese, kodiak mix, cooked sausage, and cottage cheese and mix well (mixture will be thick)
4. Fill the 12 prepared muffin cups evenly with the mixture.
5. Bake for about 22-25 minutes or until golden brown on top

Recipe Notes
If meal prepping for the week, store leftovers in a container in the fridge. You can heat by microwaving for about 1 minute. I prefer to reheat them by microwaving a couple for 15-30 seconds and then pop them in the air fryer at 350 for 3-5 minutes.
