Mother's Day Gift Guide - Finding The Perfect Gift. 

Oh yes, it's that time of the year where we're all stressing about what to gift the moms in our lives. It's got to be a thoughtful thing but also sort of a practical thing, right? Unique, definitely! Adding a personal touch can be a challenge, but I've created a list for you to make this a little less stressful, because it's shouldn't be! Here's a blog post to help you create a meaningful gift for any mom in your life!

 

As a busy mom of two boys, entrepreneur and adventurer I know how overwhelming trying to find a great gift for Mother's Day can be. There's a lot of pressure to find gifts that are meaningful, beautiful, personal and endearing. The last thing you want is a stretch mark cream right? (True story, my husband gifted that to my sister one year!) I'm here to help with some beautiful creative ideas that ANY Mom would love to receive.  

Handmade is always my favorite every time, yes even from my now grown 24 & 18 year old sons. It's the thought and the time that goes into these, even if it's just a handwritten card along with a store bought gift. Support local artist and small business's will score you huge bonus points.  

Thoughtful gifts are hard to come by. And if it's not for your mom (or maybe that's even harder!), that can be an incredible daunting task! So I've compiled a little list of the best gifts to give to any mother figure on our website. If you have any questions or need a helping hand putting together a little set, feel free too reach out to me here. I love putting together custom gift sets for my clients. 

 Here's my list of the best mother's day gifts, and some of my personal favorites! Whatever your price point, you'll find an assortment of top gift ideas for all kinds of moms. 

Small But Great Gifts For Moms: 

Mini Brass Frame

These small, 4x4 Brass vintage frames comes with a beautiful green/blue ribbon and your favorite LWP fine art print. To make it extra special for Mother's Day, insert a picture of her newborn son or daughter, tie off with a lovely ribbon and create a lovely, custom and sweet new mom wall art gift. 
She can also use it as an ornament. 

Mini Bookmark

If your mom is a reader, these bookmarks are sure to mark the spot! They're full color, 3" mini bookmark with a lovely tied ribbon. They're printed on 16pt matte paper and make the perfect gift for young and adult readers alike. Pair it with a good book and a pair of comfy socks and you've got the perfect gift basket idea! 

 Journals

Perhaps your new mom wants to document her journey or she's already a journaler? If so, make your everyday journaling more personal and stylish for her with this a custom 5x8 matte hardcover journal. Each journal comes covered in a full wraparound print, 150 lined pages and a matte finish. 

 

Home Decor Gifts For Moms:

​Vintage Framed Prints

Who doesn't love vintage? Buying vintage frames and creating really interesting wall art is something sure to impress. It's also the fastest way to creating a home that is full of personality and charm. And we're all about charm here! This isn’t a new trend for wall hangings for next year, and so finding vintage markets, online stores and pop ups that curate antiques is getting much easier. We’re going to continue to show you ways to repurpose, upgrade and blend vintage frames to create really interesting wall art for living spaces. 

​To make things easier for you, shop our vintage framed print collection here. 

These are frames that I've personally curated and paired with a print that suits but feel free to request a different print if you have something else in mind. 

Charming Art Prints

For art prints that you can frame yourself, head over to our bestsellers collection. 

​Here you'll find a selected of our top selling art prints. If you have a frame already in mind, let me know and I can custom print a size for you to make things that much easier for you. It's the next best thing to original art, friends. 

 

Nature Loving Gifts For Moms:

Nature Prints - Beautiful Blooms 

​For moms that love being outdoors, florals, hiking and all things nature, you can find a collection of art prints that are all nature-inspired here.

Pair a print with some fresh flowers, a box of her favorite tea and something for her sweet tooth and you've got the perfect present. 

 

Candle Warmer

Apron, Soap, Twine & Scissor holder

The French Mercantile

I'm in the Carolinas, linking some of my favorite small business's and artists. (All of these have shipping options) 

My oldest just moved to Summerville, SC and the most beautiful store is in downtown.  The French Mercantile, it's truly like I had stepped into a favorite store in Paris or Provence. They carry beautiful hard back books and cook books for your home. I bought a french apron, my favorite soap and a twine and scissor holder.  There will be multiple return trips to fulfill my longing for France.  

I suffer from bad migraines and I love The Old Whaling Co based out of Charleston, SC. They have a variety of scents to choose from, they offer candles, soap, & lotions.  My favorite is the Oatmeal Milk & Honey scent.  

A few of my favorite places to buy art books and creative classes are:

Jeanne Oliver I have bought more classes than I'll admit 

Archer & Olive I love their notebooks, and I also have the Mint Gardener journal and watercolors....Great quality and they buy everything from small business's 

The Mint Gardener I own all of her watercolor books, she is the sweetest giving person

Jessica Frasz studio I love her work, I own all of her notebooks 

Lissa Watson Photography And Me....

I'm Lissa a fine art film photographer based in Winston Salem, NC. I enjoy capturing the beauty of our travels to the Coast and far away places. I offer %100 cotton rag prints, notecard sets and acrylic framed prints. If you are local, I will be at the Fuse Makers Market at SECCA on Saturday April 29th 10-5, along with other amazing local artists.

I also offer shipping
