With Mother’s Day fast approaching, I thought I’d do a little Mother’s Day gift guild. And since I’m addicted to anything dirty I thought I’d do a gardening theme (wow, how random!). I’m guessing your mom either loves to garden, to be in the garden or loves to cook… am I right?
I think I covered all the bases with these links, and you’ll find something awesome for yo mama!
#1 Gift: Sunset Edible Garden Cookbook
I love this cookbook! It’s a perfect go-to book for quick and super yummy recipes – along with harvesting and planting tips. Below is a pic (Cucumber Collins) of one of the many drink recipes… I thought it would be a super cute gift to give the book, along with a few plants from your favorite recipe.
The fine folks over at Sunset were kind enough to offer another { giveaway }! Hooray!
The first 5 who comment and let us know their Mother’s Day plans – wins a Sunset Edible Garden Cookbook!
If you don’t win the giveaway, you can always find the book online or most book stores.
Thanks Sunset!
#2 Gift: Garden Apothecary bath & Beauty products.
Well, duh! Of course I’m going to pimp offer my gorgeously green goodies for Mother’s Day!
Ok, we have a cooking gift down, beauty gift down… let’s get into a hard-core gardening gift!
#3 Gift: Habitat Design, custom landscape design!
How cool is this?! Habitat Design offers a custom designed landscape plan for the D.I.Y. gardener! This is perfect for the person who wants to be “hands on” in creating their landscape design. The ladies over at Habitat are awesome and experienced and just plain fun to work with!
#4 Gift: Pitcher Plants, by Rob Co!
How sick are these pitchers!? Rob is a super talented pitcher plant grower here in the Bay Area – and he has a limited selection for sale! For the best in unique pitchers you won’t find many other places – check out Rob’s blog. FYI – the pic shown is a Select Phil Faulisi clone of Sarracenia leucophylla “Purple Lips” x flava var. ornata.
#5 Gift: When all else fails, give food!
You can’t go wrong with yummy home-made treats – even if they are home-made in another person’s home!
What is your Mother’s Day plans this year?
Hi Jen! Rob told me to check out your post
Love all the great Mother’s Day gift ideas… Anyways, I guess I can be the first to comment since I’d love a copy of the book! Not sure what Mr. Co’s exact plans are for me, but this weekend we are going away for a weekend in the beautiful wine country for some R&R and alone time w/o the kids!
My Mother’s Day plans include going to the Red Bud Festival in Three Rivers, CA with my mom and family…back home for some good ole country BBQ (Mom’s favorite is chicken with plenty of homemade BBQ sauce).
And since I will be doing the cooking a cook book would be most beneficial!!
BTW love your blog Jenn!!!
Mother’s day already happened in the Uk back in March and I was lucky enough to be able to spoil my mother on her recent trip to stay with me. However, as I am a mother and one of my daughter’s will actually be home, I intend to have a walk on Montara beach or up the Mountain with her on Mothers day! Hoping the sun will be out for a BBQ in the garden later and am thinking the cucumber collins looks pretty delish….
I would love a copy Jenn! It’s killing me not to be in garden! The weeds will be taking over!
