mocha muffinsedited Mother’s Day is less than a week away. What are you giving the moms in your life? These were my little gift to myself today. It’s a Cooking Light muffin recipe flavored with dark chocolate chips and espresso. How could they not be good?

My husband asked me what I wanted for Mother’s Day and I still haven’t come up with my wish list yet, so I thought I’d share a few links I’ve found with cute gift ideas that might help all of you with your Mother’s Day gifting… mothers day collage1. From Nellie Bellie, a DIY Herb Garden in a Box. Use your own creativity to decorate, but her’s is super cute!

2.From Tidy Mom, a DIY Lime & Mint soak with free printable labels. We have a ton of mint in our yard and I personally wouldn’t mind smelling like a Mojito…

3. From That’s What She Said, a DIY heart-shaped thumb-print necklace… you could also hot-glue the heart onto the handle of a vintage serving spoon, just a thought.

4. From Count Our Blessings, a simple packaging idea to fill a bag with your mom’s favorite things.

5. From Seven Thirty Three, a free printable Mother’s Day Room Service Menu. Simply fill in the lines with breakfast/brunch items that are doable for you and let mom pick what she wants! I’ve linked you to her updated printable for this year’s date.

6. From Saveur magazine, a recipe for Strawberry and Goat Cheese Poptarts. What I think would be a delicious and fun menu option for the kids to help with.

If nothing else, a heart-felt and hand-written note, along with her favorite flowers (gerbera daisies) are always appreciated!
