Ideas For DIY
The Summer months may be coming to an end, but those crisp Fall evenings are the perfect opportunity to spend a little time outdoors admiring the changing colors. Spend a little time making this cute bench before the weather cools down. Not only is it absolutely adorable, but easy on the pocket book with is a win-win in my opinion.

Alright, let’s be real—Mother’s Day sneaks up on us every single year. Suddenly, it’s May, and you’re scrambling to find something that says, “Hey, Mom, you’re amazing,” without resorting to last-minute drugstore flowers (though no shame if that’s your move—moms love flowers).
Luckily, Amazon’s got a killer Mother’s Day gift roundup (check it out here), and I’ve combed through it to find the best of the best. Whether your mom’s a spa queen, a tech guru, or the sentimental type, these picks will make her feel extra loved.
Luxury Robe & Slipper Set – Because every mom deserves to lounge like royalty. Pair it with a lavender-scented candle or a jade roller set for ultimate relaxation vibes.
Custom Photo Jewelry or Engraved Keepsake – Necklaces with kids’ birthstones, engraved bracelets, or even a digital photo frame pre-loaded with family pics? Instant tears (the happy kind).
Kindle Paperwhite – If she’s a bookworm, this is a game-changer. No glare, waterproof, and holds thousands of books. Bonus: Get her a Kindle Unlimited subscription for endless reading.
Instant Pot Duo Crisp – Because air frying + pressure cooking = mealtime magic. Throw in a fancy olive oil set or personalized cutting board for extra brownie points.
Yeti Rambler Tumbler – Keeps drinks hot or cold for hours, and it’s basically indestructible. Pair it with a stylish tote bag or insulated lunchbox for the win.
Indoor Herb Garden Kit – Fresh basil at her fingertips? Yes, please. Or go big with a smart garden system that does the work for her.
Subscription Box – Wine, books, skincare—there’s a box for every interest. It’s the gift that keeps giving (and reminds her of you all year).
Even if you go all out, a handwritten note is what she’ll really treasure. (Pro tip: Amazon has cute personalized cards too.)
