There's a lot going on in the world today. Many things that are out of our control. But what we have is our family, our friends, our community, our churches. Whatever it is that brings you peace. And this time of year is when we remember Who is there by our side always and loves us all. He died for us. And He gives us hope and peace. Turn off the media and give your peace of mind and soul to what is right in front of you. No matter what you believe... Every little thing that you do in kindness and love pays it forward. Not insult for insult. But love instead. Just like Jesus. Choose to walk in his footprints every day and you will live a peaceful life.
I wish all a joyous Easter and many blessings.
Love and hugs, Vicki
On another note, and speaking of family. We've all been there... it’s the Friday before Mother’s Day, and you’re frantically browsing the picked-over card aisle or paying a small fortune for overnight floral delivery. Since Mother’s Day falls in early May, April is the time for the intentional gift-giver. By planning now, you can avoid the stress and secure something that truly shows Mom how much she means to you.
Whether you are celebrating a mom, a grandmother, or a mother figure in your life, here are four thoughtful gift ideas to get sorted this month.
The Curated Experience Gift.
Sometimes the best gift isn't an object at all, it’s quality time. If you live close to your mom, plan an experience that goes beyond the standard crowded Sunday brunch. Some examples include: Tickets to a local theater production like Newnan Theater Company OR a joint workshop, like a pottery class at Mud Haven Pottery in Grantville, Georgia. If the event isn't until May, print out the tickets or write a sweet, detailed itinerary and place it inside a smaller Hug Box filled with her favorite treats. It gives her something physical to open and something wonderful to look forward to! Order your Hug Box and have it shipped directly to you for hand delivery on Mothers Day! Or let us know and we can include the printout in the Hug Box for shipping directly to the recipient or local delivery in Newnan, Georgia.
Custom Botanical Jewelry.
Flowers are the classic Mother's Day gift, but they rarely last longer than a week. Why not give her blooms that will last forever? Botanical jewelry has become incredibly popular, and for good reason. Brush and Blossom based in Newnan, Georgia takes real pressed flowers and preserve them in jewelry or glass art. Because these are handmade, if items not in stock, often has a 2- to 3-week turnaround time. April is the absolute perfect time to get your order in line. You may also place your jewelry or small art piece order from our local artisan partner Brush and Blossom and we will be happy to include it in any Hug Box order. Be sure to tell Ariana at Brush and Blossom that it will be part of your Hug Box gift.
The Ultimate Spa Gift.
Let’s be honest: Most moms aren’t great at spoiling themselves. They are usually too busy taking care of everyone else! A curated self-care box is the perfect way to force a little relaxation into her schedule. Seek out boxes that feature all-natural, small-batch items like hand-poured soy candles, botanical bath salts, and artisan-made soaps. Instead of a standard, mass-produced bath set, opt for a Mother’s Day Hug Box. It is quite literally a "hug in a box" delivered right to her doorstep.
The Relaxation gift.
If your mom is the type who loves a quiet morning on the porch or a cozy evening with a book, create a sensory experience centered around botanical tastes and sights. A beautiful ceramic mug, high-quality herbal-infused tea, a bag of easy-to-grow lavender and calming body oil. You are gifting her a moment of peace. Every time she sips her tea and smells the lavender, she’ll think of you. Order this limited curated gift box before they sell out, The Mother’s Day Mindfulness Hug Box.
