Gift Ideas: Wedding Season

It's wedding season! 

I don't know about you but weddings are all around me...and I love it! Here are some unique and special wedding gifts to make the day a little more special.

Add a little something special with this hanger to hold that extra special dress.

 

Keep the unwanted knocks to a minimum with this.

 It's always exciting for bride to see her new initials for the first time; why not have them sewn into the wedding dress... they can also serve as "something blue."

 

Here is an inexpensive way to help guests find their way. 

The last one isn't really as novel as the others but having just had my wedding, I can't tell you how useful little touches like this are, especially when someone goes out of their way to get it for you. Help is actually the best gift of all.

Gift Ideas: Fathers Day

No. 1: Man Cans was created by 13 year old who thought candles smelled too "girly." These "Man-Cans" come in scents like "campfire," "new mit," and "grandpa's pie." No. 2: F.A. Seeds sells furniture polishes and kits to polish and clean anything from motorcycless to fishing supplies. Their claim to fame is that they're the official furniture polish that's used in the White House since Taft's presidency. Sorry I couln't find a better picture. No. 3: This office golfing kit is perfect for the dad who could golf every day of the week; the office golfing kit allows him this leisure. No. 4: A Movie Club membership for the movie buff. No. 5: For the outdoor dad a Scrimshaw Knife because knives are like shoes; you can never have too many knives and you can match them with your outfit.

Mothers Day

Hey all! Mother's Day is upon us and if you're at all like me, you've procrastinated and are now stressing what to get "momma." Here are some ideas and tips

Jewelry (that doesn't have to break the bank)

 

You can find this line here. Prices range from $30-$300.

For the Chef

You can find these products and more fun kitchen items here. My wonderful friend Sarah Birchfield is a consultant; if you need help finding anything, she is more than helpful.

For the Active Mom

LuLu will treat your momma right. It's the MAC of athletic clothing: if you think the item should have or do something, it probably does. Get (or keep) mom off the couch here.

Tips

1. Flowers die and don't take a lot of thought (I'm not a romantic) and moms love things that are home made. Try making her a cookbook if she likes to cook; a book of workouts if she likes to stay fit; or paint a mug from somewhere like As You Wish.
2. Instead of a massage take your mom to high tea. Most upscale hotels offer this and it's usually around the same price as buying a day at the spa. Plus you get to spend more quality time with mom.
3. Even if you see her, call her and get her a card. Cards last and usually make her cry and when you call her after you spent the day with her, it makes the quality time spent seem a little less mandatory. 

That's all for now my sweets. Have a wonderful evening.
