The Gift of....Life

So, what do you get the woman you gave you the greatest gift....your life?!?  That's tricky, I'm sure the fact that I am safe, happy, healthy and relatively normal is enough of a gift that she has succeeded as a mother.  But today is Mother's Day and is a great way to show that woman you love her and are extremely grateful for putting up with you for all these years.  I have posted a few ideas, but the whole shipping time can come into play for a girl that is without an Anthropologie, Restoration Hardware or Crate & Barrel. The husband and I just compiled items that our mother's love and appreciate. 

For my mom: cabernet, candles, loofa and The King's Speech
For Hubby's mother: white zin, chocolates, candle and coffee.
Sticking with color to tie the gift's theme together help the gift look complete and we paid attention to colors our mothers love.  I handmade cards for them to complete the personal touch.  I wrapped them in clear bags with ribbon curls on top.  They turned out really cute and I know they will enjoy them!
