Mother's Day Ideas

For Christmas, I commissioned an artist on etsy to make a bowl for my parents. It turned out so cute that she's selling them as Mother's Day presents! Sure, it's risky putting grandkids names on the bowl, since it's still biologically possible for the the list to become outdated. But I figured it was worth the risk. It was fun creating the bowl - and since it was a brainstorm between myself & the artist, I had no idea what to expect! If you are interested, check out justmare's shop for a unique Mother's Day gift! For Christmas, my mother-in-law got one of these adorable little dishes, from MudHutt, which would also make a great Mother's Day gift. Right now I'm scouring etsy for new ideas!

I want to get one of those bowls for my mom. Did it arrive quickly? And is the payment site secure?? Were you really pleased with it? I think it's such a precious idea. :)

It did, but at this point you would want to email the seller, just to make sure.

Everything on etsy can be paid trough paypal which is very secure. Many of the sellers accept other payments as well.

My mom loves it! My sister in law had her make one too, for her mom:
