Mother's Day for $40-$60


Hello Dear Readers For a (gasp!) second consecutive day of posts!!


For those of you with a little more scratch for gifts this Mother's Day, read on:)


1. When I had no babies, I occasionally took in a ballet or play or concert. (Just kidding, Life does go on after babies :-)). This is an adorable pop of color for a spring outfit to the aforementioned activity. Marina Clutch!


2. I'm in LOVE with this scarf!! The color is not fully captured by any photo, but be assured, it's a gorgeous iridescent beauty! Light enough for spring/summer (on the west coast;)/fall nights. I would gift everyone this if I were to win the lotto...


3. Because of the grey in this necklace, it's goes with so much! I love the sweet pink and gold and could wear this every day with my navy/white/black staple tees...


4. The two coins necklace is a great gift choice! Silver (goes with everything) and layered (a popular trend right now!), it's cute as a stand alone or with another bolder necklace on top.


5. These raindrop earrings are very sweet and classic looking. Any mom would love those!

Happy Mother's Day!!!!

Mother's Day gifts under $30!

The options for Mother Day are endless! For me, my budget is my boss! For folks out there like me, that would love to use their purchasing power to create hope and opportunity in the lives of mothers worldwide, but have to think about the bottom line, here are 10 ideas for all types of moms!


1. For the techie mom or someone who takes their comp on the go: this adorable comp case!


2. This is the perfect clutch for a night out or when you get to leave the kids for 20 min and run to Target sans diaper bag: Junas wristlet


3. Beach bag, grocery bag, library books bag; the possibilities for this market bag are endless! Rwandan women went to sewing school and now earn a sustainable income by sewing these adorable bags. 



4. Neutral, cow hoops, hand carved in Uganda are small enough to go with a necklace, but can be thrown on for the preschool drop off to add some ethnic flare to jeans and a t shirt:)


5. These Taj white earrings are perfect for summer! They are very light and a Noonday original design, made in India.




6. This is a spring favorite of mine, the minted paper bead necklace! It is so fun with a navy or white top and is the perfect "pop" of color.

7. These dainty paper yellow beads are perfect for layering or going simple with statement earrings.

8. Rockstar orange paper beads are a great summer color too!


9. I think this is my favorite gift for the non jewelry mom! The patchwork makeup bag can be used for anything!



10. Giftcard!! Easy peasy folks. Let your mama decide what she'd like!! If you do purchase a gift card, I will mail you a catalog that you can gift with the card.
