girlawhirl gift guide: indulgent gifts for mother's day Apr 25, 2008
|
With their customized gift in the works, now all Girlawhirl and her sisters need to do is find a few extras for Mom this year, some trinkets or other indulgences that they know she'll love, but would never splurge on for herself… • A bauble that brings together the birthstones of all of her children – and perhaps grandchildren – is sure to bring a gleam to her mother's eye. Redenvelope.com has so many pretty options, from stacking rings, to charm necklaces and even, with sterling silver scrolls instead of stones, a Family Tree Locket.

• The idea of giving their mother jewelry is a no-brainer for Girlawhirl and her sisters. They've seen her collect all kinds of earrings, necklaces bracelets and pins throughout their lives. It's all added up to an impressive collection that runs the gamut from colorful costume and chunky silver and stone to antique pieces from her relatives. And while her mother prides herself in keeping it all organized, with each “set” housed in its own separate box or antique candy tin, Girlawhirl thinks she'd love a few of these gorgeous lacquered boxes to add some “pop” to her drawer.

• A teapot, along with a selection of teas from Mighty Leaf Tea and a cake from Dancing Deer is just what mom needs for an afternoon get-together with friends. Girlawhirl loves that the teapot is both stylish and dishwasher safe – and that its handle is wrapped with silicone to keep her mother from burning her hand when pouring. There's even a generous sized cup with brewing insert for teatime when Mom's alone.

• To keep mom feeling good, Girlawhirl intends to introduce her to Buddha Nose products. Made with organic and wild-crafted ingredients, and never with preservatives or parabens, these balms, sprays and bath products always do the trick for Girlawhirl. For Mom, the Meditation Bath Salts, Immune Booster Salve, and a set of the Five Elements Balms sound great.

• And while Girlawhirl will be sure to bring her Mother at least one of the wonderful indulgences she's highlighted above, this “extra” from Gaiam.com might turn out to be the best gift of all. Gaiam has partnered with the Mayo Clinic to produce Wellness Solution videos for a range of ailments and diseases. For her Mother, Girlawhirl's bringing the DVD that focuses on arthritis. All the Wellness Solution DVDs start out with a 30 minute conversation with a Mayo Clinic specialist on the disease, information from a dietician on foods that can help – and further harm – the condition and end with Rodney Yee walking the viewer through poses and exercises to benefit the condition.
