instead of our regular monthly giveaway, i wanted to do a serious blowout this month in celebration of moms – i mean, after all, who deserves a little extra TLC more than your mom? plus, i know times are tight, but i wanted to help a few of you deserving readers really go all out for mom this year. so, i teamed up with three fantastic companies to compile some giveaway goodies that will make the perfect mother’s day gift, guaranteed!
for the extremely stylish mom, enter to win this beautiful 14K gold necklace, designed by the always wonderful katharine sise, and chosen by her especially for mother’s day. isn’t the symbolism just perfect? mom, child, interlocking….you get the idea. plus, it’s a classic piece she can wear every day – while thinking about what an amazing kid you are for giving it to her. retail on this beauty is $145 – and you can check out all of katharine’s stunning designs on her website!
for the mom who’s an eternal romantic, and loves everything as girly as it gets, this pink diamond candle from DL & Co. is the ultimate in feminine frills. fragrance can be tricky as a gift, but this one is absolutely sure to please. spiced with ginger, soft with lily and finished with a dash of pink grapefruit for crispness, this just might be the universal fragrance. the wonderful people at DL & Co. are offering up your choice of a huge 15 oz candle (retail is $135) or a diffuser ($115), which might just the be prettiest of its kind i’ve ever seen. these gorgeous pieces come packaged in a satin box, tied with a bow, and housed in beautiful frosted glass. if you’re intrigued, check out all of their fragrances on their website – i’m completely obsessed with the absinthe fragrance, and the lady rhubarb candle is going to be the perfect gift for my garden-loving grandmother.
next up is the perfect gift for the martha stewart mom. you know, the one that’s always prepared, never forgets a birthday, and can’t imagine a day without a “to do” list. linda and harriett, one of my favorite letterpress stationers, has put together a custom gift set packed with goodies that are sure to thrill your mom, and keep her on top of her uber-organized game for the year. she’ll get two of their sweet notepads (i have one sitting on my desk this very moment), and an assortment of eight beautiful letterpress cards, perfect for birthdays, thank yous, or whatever other occasion she’s sending a card for. plus, the linda & harriett crew will wrap it all up and tie it with a beautiful butterfly gift tag, so your gift is ready to go!
since we have so many great gifts, this one’s going to work a bit differently – to enter, tell me which of the gifts you’d want to win for your mom and tell me something fabulous about her. that’s right, it’s a mom lovefest. for your bonus entry, do your usual twitter, facebook, blog, or other sharing of this contest, just make sure when you come back to leave your bonus entry (remember, it has to be a second comment!), you tell me which gift you’re entering for.
i’ll draw winners randomly, as always, and announce on friday morning. you’ll have to be “present” to win, so make sure you check back friday! each of these generous companies has promised mom’s day delivery if you get me your address by the weekend.
good luck to everyone…and their moms!!
