Happy Birthday to my Mom! I get to see her in a couple days and I am so excited for her visit! For her birthday, I wanted to give her the gift of relaxation and an experience. I’m sharing with you my idea on giving the gift of an experience and mailing a wrapped package!
My mom will be visiting soon and we will do some fun stuff together and doing lots of shopping. It’s going to be great and also probably a little tiring. I wanted to do more than just grab something off Amazon. I’ve been trying to make gifts a little more meaningful and thoughtful. I wanted the gift to last a little bit too. What better than sending a relaxing experience? This would work well as a birthday gift, Mother’s Day gift, etc.
I made most of the items myself and I’ll be sharing the details in coming days. I’ll add some links in once they post.
1) Dinosaur ring holder and jewelry dish. My 2 year old son loves dinosaurs right now and he said he wanted to give her a dinosaur for her birthday so I thought this could be functional but fun for her.
2) Also pictured here is a pom necklace I made.
4) My favorite kind of nail polish in some fun colors.
5) Coconut Lime Fizzy Salt Scrub – this stuff makes my skin so soft and smells amazing!
6) Ghiradelli Milk Chocolate Sea Salt Cashews – I got these in a Christmas gift from one of my favorite people on the internet and they were so yummy, I love sharing them with others.
Did you know that you can mail wrapped packages? I love making a gift look pretty and who wouldn’t delight in receiving this from the mailman? I wrap most gifts for the mail in wrapping paper. I put extra shipping tape on the edges and over the mailing label to be sure it doesn’t get ripped off, if it happens to catch on something.
This time I also made the inside of the package look pretty too. I wrapped each little gift in tissue paper, added in some air packets from a recent Amazon package to keep everything safe and secure, then wrapped all that with tissue paper.
I also put some tissue paper on the box flaps too.
I sealed it all up and then wrapped it up with some heavy tissue paper I found at Hobby Lobby. Don’t make the same mistake I did and forget to put the card in the box first though! Luckily, I remembered before wrapping the box.
I hope she enjoys it! Who do you know that could use a gift of relaxation and have you ever mailed a wrapped package before?
I LOVED seeing this cute post AND to see that you love the cashews as much as me AND then to see that sweet link over to me;) Love what you are sharing here, girl!
