The Quick ‘N Easy Guide For A Perfect Mother’s Day!

You only need a few simple things for a great Mother’s Day: flowers, a gift that Mom will really use, some good wine or champagne and a luxurious meal (whether at home or in a restaurant). I picked some of my favorite items ranging in price from $30 to $300 and you can easily get them all on line and in your hands within three or four days!

It’s no secret that I love April And Ashley! They have roses that last and last! I swear that their cut roses get bigger and bigger as the week goes on and they look great even ten days after you get them! The best April And Ashley “bang for the buck” are their potted roses—pictured above are the stunning Dance Party roses which are red with some petals lighter and darker than others. They’re stunning and one pot is only $55. As for the amount of blooms that you will get…well, the photo above is no exaggeration. Potted roses like bright sunlight so you should be good if you put them by a big window and water them a couple of times per week. Each different type of rose sold has their own instructions. You can order Dance Party here—and I guarantee that mom will be amazed: April & Ashley Dance Party Potted Roses.

I am just in awe of April And Ashley’s amazing potted roses, but be sure to discover the beauty of their rose bouquets, featuring hand-selected arrangements of 12 or 24 long-lasting roses in a variety of stunning colors. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion like Mother’s Day or simply brightening someone’s day, these bouquets are designed to make a lasting impression. With lush petals, graceful form, and a classic fragrance, each rose is carefully picked by the A&A staff for its freshness and quality. From romantic reds to soft pastels and vibrant hues, A&A’s bouquet collection offers the perfect bouquet for any moment. Pictured here is the 12 stem version of Kahala, an amazing peach colored rose with streaks of a watermelon pink here and there! Order the 24 stem version here for $89: April And Ashley Kahala Bouquet.

The legendary Omaha Steaks has more than a dozen great complete Mother’s Day meals packages that pretty much cover meat, sides and desserts for four people. You just defrost and heat each item! All of them are under $200 and a lot have free shipping! You can’t beat that even in your local supermarket one reason being that even uout supermarket’s most expensive meat cannot raise a finger to Omaha Steaks’ meat! They have it all from the expected great filet mignons to salmon to hot dogs. I have a lot of meat eaters joining me on Mother’s Day this year, so I decided to try the Mother’s Day Gift Bundle. It includes the following mouthwatering items: four (6 oz.) Butcher’s Cut Ribeye Filets, four (5 oz.) Chicken Breasts, four (6 oz.) Pureground Filet Mignon Burgers, four (3.81 oz.)

Order here and enjoy: Omaha Steaks Mother’s Day Gift Bundle.

Omaha Steaks’ amazing desserts are one of the best kept secrets of sweet lovers. They recently changed a couple of the flavors in the Gourmet Cheesecake Sampler but each slice is a knockout! The four flavors of cheesecake in the box are made with premium, rich, natural ingredients. Each slice has a made-from-scratch graham cracker crust. You’ll fall in love with Strawberry Swirl, Triple Chocolate, New York Style and Turtle. This treat is pre-baked and pre-sliced so you just thaw, serve and enjoy. I consider it to be an incredible deal at just $22.49. Order here: Omaha Steaks Gourmet Cheesecake Sampler.

Bona Furtuna creates fine products including olive oil, balsamic vinegar, panettones, pesto, red pepper spreads and the Easter cakes known as Columbas in Sicily…and to say you can taste the quality is an understatement. These are some of the freshest items in any genre of food! The new Everyday Extra Virgin Olive Oil paired with the Aged Balsamic Vinegar Of Modena are the best everyday workhouse team that you can present to a mom who loves to cook. The new Everyday Extra Virgin Olive Oil (with its bright, peppery taste) is getting a lot of accolades in the food press and can be purchased here for $24.95 (that’s for a generous 500 ml bottle): Bona Furtuna Everyday Extra Virgin Olive Oil. The Aged Balsamic Vinegar is a show stopper as well! It rests patiently in select wood barrels for seven years and is IGP certified. This gourmet vinegar brings about unparalleled depth and character. The secret is the barrel aging method that allows Bona Fortuna to create a rich, lively balsamic vinegar—this is what real balsamic vinegar should taste like. Order an 8.45 fluid ounce bottle here for $44.95: Bona Furtuna Aged Balsamic Vinegar.

Every mom needs a good bag and Sattache bags cannot only be worn five different ways, but they are made of recycled materials and are super durable. Did I fail to mention that they fit a pair of shoes? How many of us want to change our shoes in the middle of the day and not want to have to carry them around in an ugly plastic tote bag? I like to wear mine as a sling and just fill it with things that I pick up in the city as I go about my business everyday. Pictured above is the Classic Onyx Sattache Bag for $146.25–start here and then move on to fun colors like red. Mom will want to have at least four or five of these in her wardrobe. The material is so sturdy that you’ll notice that you can load it with heavy items including books and iPads. They give deep discounts if you buy two or more at one time. All materials used are PETA approved (they include old fishnets and plastic bottles) and you’ll notice that they are great at resisting stains. Order the Classic Onyx Bag here: Sattache Onyx Bag.

Wrangler’s Women’s High Rise True Straight Leg Jeans are a “must have” for any mom on the go. They’re durable, stylish and comfortable. I think that the black really makes a “city statement” and looks a little dressier than the different shades of blue available (but they’re great, too)! Wrangler women’s straight leg jeans are crafted with a figure-flattering high rise measuring 10 3/8th inches. They hug your curves with a comfortable, no-gap waistband and a zip fly with button closure. The classic straight leg silhouette extends from the thigh through the hem for an opening that fits snugly around boots, heels, sandals, and sneakers. Versatile, year-round style reaches its peak with these timeless straight leg jeans. Order here for $59.99: Wrangler High Rise True Straight Leg Jean.

I was thrilled to hear that the legendary Longitude line has been rebranded as Mimi Flamingo. Not only does Mimi Flamingo have spectacular swimsuits but it includes a full beachwear collection, including skirts, pants and dresses. Mimi Flamingo is built on a foundation of expertly developed fits and next-generation sustainable materials, and they have some of the most fun prints that you will ever see. Their beachwear items are fabulous because they let you throw a colorful dress, pants or skirt over your swimsuit and immediately be “street ready.” The above style is called the Cove Wrap Skirt in Radiant Floral. It’s priced at $124 and has coordinated pieces worth looking into as well. Order here: Mimi Flamingo Cove Wrap Skirt.

Buying a swimsuit for your mom is a great gift choice if your she loves to swim or simply lay around on a beach and relax. I don’t have to tell you that both Miraclesuit and its sister brand Magicsuit offer shaping, comfort and truly unique styles (that’s why nearly every major department store carries them)! Pictured above is the Magicsuit Louise One-Piece in the Shell Beach pattern. This suit typifies stylish and functional swimwear in my opinion–and every woman wants the best of both those worlds. The Louise suit features a surplice neckline, adjustable straps with jewelry like beads on them, and strategic shirring at the midsection. It is made of a high-quality blend of polyester, spandex, and nylon, ensuring durability and comfort. It’s fully lined for additional coverage and support. (There’s a matching coverup, by the way.) Order here for $188: Miraclesuit Louise One-Piece.

Ada Diamonds was recently acquired by Sasha Primak, a name synonymous with fine jewelry craftsmanship since 1972. This marks a powerful new chapter where cutting-edge innovation meets timeless artistry, and it comes at a pivotal moment for the jewelry world. Lab-grown diamonds now account for nearly 50% of engagement ring center stones sold in the U.S., and fashion demand continues to grow rapidly. When you see the drop dead gorgeous and super reasonably priced 14 K gold and lab diamond pieces available for $350 to $500, you’ll drop what you’re doing and go onto the ADA site to pick up something for Mother’s Day. Everything in the Delicate line is timeless and modern at the same time and all pieces come in yellow, white or rose gold. I was so excited to recently get a tour of the high end “assembly line” of jewelry making ranging from design to production over at the now combined ADA and Primak offices with the personable COO David Primak explaining each step along the way. I had never seen fine jewelry production up close and personal like that before and I am very grateful for that opportunity! Back to the subject of Mother’s Day gifts, though—my top ADA pick is this stunning .21 carat and 14K white gold necklace from the Delicate Collection which costs only $500! Here’s the link and special overnight delivery can be added if you are really under the wire: Ada Diamond Bar Pendant Necklace.
