A FEW OTHER IDEAS
• Estee Lauder Modern Muse Solid Perfume Compact
Here’s a gift that gives twice – to the recipient and also to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Wow!
“Be an Inspiration. Experience Estée Lauder’s newest fragrance in a limited-edition solid perfume compact. Modern Muse is inspired by the intriguing duality of today’s woman and complements every aspect of her dynamic life, a true statement in modern luxury that conveys confidence, style and creativity. A Lush Floral Woody scent, its innovative dual-impression structure features two contrasting aspects: Sparkling Jasmine Accord and Sleek Woods Accord.
SIZE: .04 oz./1.35 g PRICE: $49.50
AMOUNT OF DONATION: In support of The Estée Lauder Companies’ BCA Campaign, Estée Lauder will donate 100% of the suggested retail price from the sale of the Estée Lauder Modern Muse Solid Perfume Compact to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation® (BCRF).
AVAILABLE AT: Select Estée Lauder counters in the USA, in Puerto Rico and at www.esteelauder.com from 8/1/14 – 6/30/15 while supplies last.
I think the compact is stunning! What a great gift this is!
• Scentbird Perfume Subscription Service
Since we’re talking about perfume, consider giving Scentbird a monthly subscription service where you take a quiz and list your fragrance favorites, and Scentbird devises a list of perfumes from which to choose your monthly scent.
Scentbird sends a purse size spray that they say is good for a month, I’d say much longer than that, for $14.95 or less depending on how many months you sign up for: 3, 6 or 12 months. You can say 15% on the first month by signing up with my referral link below:

• L.A. Burdick Chocolate Mice
And finally here’s one more really cute idea for moms who are chocolate and animal lovers: a box of handmade chocolate mice with silk tails from Boston chocolatier, L.A. Burdick (16 mice $48, 9 mice $32, 4 mice $13)
Moms and those of you who have moms to celebrate with, have a wonderful day!
What a wonderful selection of Mother’s Day gift choices, Allison! I love that you offered a good variety of products to meet the needs of every budget!

Thanks, Helen 🙂 I tried
Excellent choices. I wish my mom was more of a makeup wearer. Then I could spoil her with something fancy like the ambient lighting palette. Flowers and chocolates are always great options too.
Brianna E recently posted…May 2015 Watch/Wish List
I’d be happy to get flowers or chocolates, Brianna! How ’bout those pink Chuck Taylors, lol?
haha. My mom is a nursing administrator at a hospital. It would be hilarious watching her rock those at work.
Brianna E recently posted…May 2015 Watch/Wish List
That would be a hoot, Brianna 😉
I really want that Showstopper palette – I’m in love still with my Rainforest After Dark palette and I know I’ll love the Showstopper. Modern Muse is one of my favorite scents to come along, I’m trying to hint to my husband that I need a bottle!
Jessica recently posted…Dotticure Skittlette
I’m in love with the Modern Muse solid perfume container. I think it’s so sophisticated plus all the $ goes to Breast Cancer Research! I too would love the Showstopper!
Scentbird, chocolate and Hourglass. My kids would be so golden.

That would be heaven! They just have to get jobs first 😉
That Modern Muse solid perfume looks awesome! The fact that you shared some Converse on this list makes me happy 🙂
Heather recently posted…TarteGuard SPF 30 Review
The Modern Muse perfume is so great because 100% of the proceeds goes to Breast Cancer Research! And yes, aren’t those Cons the cutest?
So many great gift ideas 🙂 I’d be happy to receive any of these for Mother’s day 🙂
Leelo R recently posted…Valentino Rockstud Giveaway
me too, Leelo!
I found my pink chucks ridiculously hard to keep clean, so I got rid of them. *hides behind a rock to dodge thrown tomatoes*
My mother’s list is usually only three things: coffee/tea, antiques, clean house. I have a couple of those down but should probably get cracking on the third. Bet you can guess which one that is, hahaha. And I did supplement this year with a little something from L’Occitane that I could tell she liked but would never in a million years ask for or purchase for herself.
But I think my cats should buy ME those chocolate mice. After all, they get toy mice out of me every holiday, so it’s only right they return the favour every once in a while, don’t you think? 😛
I do! You would love the chocolate mice. They are filled with delicious ganache fillings, one has a slight orange flavor, one is dark chocolate, and I can’t remember what the 3rd flavor is. I used to send those cute little mice to my clients for thank you gifts. Hopefully, you’ll get your mother’s house cleaned by Sunday, lol. The L’Occitane is a great idea. I forgot all about the very nice sub box they were selling for about $20 a couple of weeks ago!
I think my mom would like 10 or 11! But I actually did buy her gift – an Alex and Ani bracelet! I still need something for my grandmoms, though!!
beautyjudy recently posted…The Makeup Show NYC – Round up!
That’s a great gift, Judy. In fact, I’m going to be doing a charm bracelet review soon. For your grand mom, hmmmm. Maybe not the Chuck Taylors 😉
So many great and thoughtful gifts to give mom.
Thanks, Cindy 🙂
I’m not a mom… but I totally want pretty much everything on this list. Great picks!
Chelsea recently posted…Vita Liberata Fabulous Self Tanning Gradual Lotion | Review + Before & After
Same with me, Chelsea! I’ll take it all!
I just played the “if I had to pick one,” which would it be? and I think the Tony Moly balm sounds like the most useful one for me! And it’s so cute.
Cybele recently posted…Perk Hair Up with Head & Shoulders #ad
The Tony Moly lip balm is so adorable in either the blueberry or the cherry!
I love the earrings and bangle! So pretty! You put together a great list!
Valerie, I adore Alexis Bittar’s jewelry. He is my favorite. I stalk the internet, Nordstrom’s and the Peabody Essex Museum gift shop for sales! I hope you have a great Mother’s Day!
Thank you! I hope you have a happy Mother’s Day too. It’s funny, I don’t have a big jewelry collection, but, I was so drawn to these pieces! I’ll have to visit the Peabody Essex Museum gift shop. I’ve heard it’s very nice.
Yes, I hope you will. Perhaps we can meet, Valerie! The museum is quite wonderful, too. And I always hear the siren song of their fabulous gift shop 🙂
It sounds like a wonderful spot. Maybe we can meet there over the summer 🙂 I can’t tell you how many time I’ve visited Yale’s Peabody Museum in New Haven when I lived in CT!
Great ideas! Thanks for sharing.
Phyrra recently posted…Fyrinnae Liquid Matte Lipsticks

You have some great choices above! I’ve yet to buy my mom her mothers day gift so this will def come in handy!
Natasha recently posted…Scentbird – A Monthly Subscription Box for Perfumes!?

Love the pink cons! I’ll be showing those to the hubby asap :).
Leigh recently posted…April 2015 Faves: Music, Apps, Books and Beauty Products.
You need them, Leigh! I hope your husband will take note!
What a delightful array of gifts. There’s something for everyone. I love the “give back” gifts. And I’ll be happy to have the chocolate mice if you want my address to send them to!!!
MarciaF recently posted…Why I love Lindi Skin and a giveaway so you can too
Those little mice are so delicious and adorable, Marcia! They’re filled with different ganaches, some with orange, hazelnut, dark chocolate. I used to send them to my clients on the anniversary of my business. I need some too 🙂
Awesome gift ideas!

I’m not a mom, but some of those things are on *my* wishlist!! That Showstopper palette is so pretty. Want.
Nidia – Lit From Within recently posted…CoverGirl – The New Statement Eye
Same with me, Nidia. I definitely want the Showstopper, wishing for it!
I love that perfume solid, what an interesting piece! However, for Mothers Day I really want a new photo editing software app and a gift card to our local farm for flowers 🙂
Kristina Vieweg recently posted…Stila Blooming Bright Convertible Color Trio
What fabulous gifts, Kristina! I certainly hope you get them!
Great choices! I would be lucky to get any of these! <3
Shipra recently posted…#RecycleYourPeriodPad with Poise
Thanks, Shipra! I hope you get something nice from your husband and son on Sunday 🙂
You have some great gift ideas here. Each year since I was old enough to have my own money – I have gotten my mom a rose or made one… whether it was a real rose, silk rose, paper rose I made, rose made out of shells… you name it – I have done it… even a real rose dipped and sealed in gold. It’s a tradition… but this list is still great 🙂
Honeygirlk recently posted…Makeup Monday – BH Cosmetics Missy Lynn Palette
I love your tradition, Honey! Ill bet your mom really looks forward to it. She must have quite a collection now!
thank you 🙂 I started giving them to her when I was about 10 years old… so she has about 35 of them. She has a shelf for those that are “forever” roses and the real roses, they are either pressed and dried or she has thrown them out. But she keeps the cards. She loves it. 🙂
It’s wonderful, Honey <3
That Tony Moly packaging is the cutest!! These are some great gifts ( I should send DH this link 😉 )
Francine Brandow recently posted…Disney Vacation
Tony Moly definitely has the cutest packaging, and the products are good quality too. Win win. Hope you get something nice on Sunday!
I vote for the chocolates. Hmm, like some of the makeup too.
Judy Freedman recently posted…“IRIS” – A Delightful Documentary About A 93 Year Old Style-Maven
What great ideas! My mom is difficult to shop for! I’m a girly girl but shes a straight tom boy (no makeup or fragrance and she hates lotions and bath goodies!)
