A Mother’s Day Gift Guide 2014

Yes, I know Mother’s Day in the UK happens in March. I freak out every year when the marketing hits the windows that I’ve forgotten to send home a card and something pretty to show my mom how much she’s appreciated. But American Mother’s Day – the one we celebrate – is this coming Sunday. So, I thought I’d put together a little gift guide for the day.

Here’s one of my favourite recent photos of my Mom and I – trying on glasses in Anthropologie in London:

And here’s a few gift ideas to help out those of you who are still shopping! If you need some more ideas, Diana also has a great Mother’s Day gift list over on exPress-o.
