Mother's Day is Right Around the Corner!

Here's and fun and unique gift idea to show your Mom just how much you care!
Start with the classic L.L.Bean Monogram Tote Bag, not only is this  a durable bag which will last your mom a lifetime, but it's the perfect way to bring together the rest of this creative gift! Since we all know April showers bring May Flowers, Mother's Day at the beginning of May is the perfect way to equip your mom with all the gardening essentials!
One of the first items you could potentially add to this Mother's Day gardening kit is a nice pair of comfortable gardening gloves. This iconic floral pattern Laura Ashley Home-Gardening pair is perfect to add to your bag!

While we all know our mom's secretly love playing in the dirt, this Garden Tool Set includes a cultivator, bypass cutter, and spade- exactly the tools she'll be looking to pull from her bag during an afternoon spent working in the flower beds! 
One of the most fun decisions you can make when thinking about what to include in your bag, is what type of bulb you will give her to eventually plant! Keeping in mind the season is spring- you'll want a bulb that is seasonally fit. Bulbs to Blooms is a great site not only for purchasing bulbs but it includes wonderful information on seasonal planting. 
To top off your gift with just one last bit of sentiment- head to your local florists and pick up a fresh cut bouquet of the fully bloomed flowers you chose to include as bulbs for her to plant! This not only gives her something beautiful to set out somewhere in the house but shows her just what her bulbs will look like once they've come full circle! I've chosen to show Gladiolus here, a gorgeous spring bloom available in a variety of colors.

This gift idea is very flexible and can be as complex or simple as you choose, with many different options on what you could potentially include this is a perfect gift that can easily be personalized to best fit your mom's taste. The thoughtfulness behind this idea will definitely show your mom just how you care, and its's unique nature will show your out of the box thinking to come up with something special for your mom on this Mother's Day! & As always, don't forget that a card with thoughtfully written sentiment inside goes a long way :)
