It’s my first Mother’s Day as a mother and I can not wait to spend the day with my boys! It’s got me thinking about Mother’s Day gifts though and what I want or need.
Truthfully all I want for Mother’s day is some quality cuddling time (and maybe a hot bath) but it’s always nice to dream about other things. So here is my Mother’s Day wish list.
Note: Some links contain affiliate links which means that if you purchase them I will receive a small portion of the sale. That being said I only recommend products that I know and use (or wish I used) myself.

Bath Bombs $6 I love shopping local and this MN based maker’s bath supplies are the bomb :-)
Oh Snap! Pickles $2.96 These go under the less than $10 section, but obviously you’ll want to buy the whole case, so that makes it over $30 sorry.
Chocolate $8.75 If pickles don’t make you sit back and relax then chocolate is always a good back up, plus win in supporting another local company.

love how you have this broke down into budget categories. So very fun
perfect to make our moms feel special
Great list! I love that you broke them down into dollar amounts. I personally love the simple things! Bath bombs, lip chap etc :)
I 100% agree- something small can say so much, especially when it’s well thought out! Give me time for a bath and a bag of pickles any day! HA!
So many fun products! I would love matching family luggage tags!
I know- wouldn’t matching luggage tags be so cool! I know my son would love it too!
I would love a scratch off travel map!! How fun!
I just got one and it is so much fun to do as a family after we return from a trip! Let me know if you get one (and how much fun you have with it! ;-))
