mother's day gifts.

So, we needed random baby items from Amazon, when suddenly a you might also like... suggestion stole the show.

An interview book. Go dig up your mother's story. I know some families are good about their narrative and their stories really do stay alive through generations. But if you're like me and you have a horrible memory or morsels of your life--and the stories you've been told--are just plain missing, I can't imagine a more perfect activity than to sit down with your mom and actually write that story down. I'm smitten with this gift idea. There's a book for dad's story too.

Motherless daughters can do this too, though obviously not with their mamas. I'm not sure this is the book for such women, but I've always liked the idea of interviewing others about my mom's life. It's nice to know--even after decades--where + how you fit in. I've been thinking about this more since we moved to the U.S. (my motherland) and since I became a mama myself. 

Of course you could always shower her with flowers or fun presents like these too.

I fell in love with these typographic brackets that I saw on bug miscellany today. And these quirky + cute pendants from Elk.

Are you shopping for mom's day too?
