Etsy // Mothers Day Gift Guide


I wax lyrical about Etsy and how fantastic they are for presents and cards for special occasions - over the years I have made over 200 purchases which should speak for itself - and I am going to do the same again as we are drawing ever closer to mothers day in the UK.

I am going to share some present ideas for all budgets later in the post (links below pictures) but I couldn't not start with the cards.

You will find a card for every type of mum on Etsy. Heartfelt and full of sentiment, to super cute to some bordering on offensive (depending on your mum's sense of humour)

These are just a few of my favourites.......


1 / 2 / 3 / 4 /

I think I will be purchasing the squirrel one for my mum and will be (subtly) point the YT one out to my husband as my daughter would love it !!

Now onto the gift guides

Mothers Day is always hard to put a gift guide together for as it is such a personal holiday.

Becuase of this, most items featured are ones that I would love to receive but the sheer volume and variety of gifts on Etsy means there really is something for everyone.

As always Etsy have put together their own gift guide for inspiration as well which you can find here so between us you won't be short for inspiration.

As always, you can find the link to each shop below the picture. 


Does your mum love to wear Jewellery ??

Perhaps she would prefer a sweet treat

Or perhaps some art for the walls 

I love looking for prints on Etsy.  There is nowhere else where you will find exactly what you want or find the person to make it for you.

Over the years I have purchased as many custom pieces as I have 'off the shelf' so if you cant see your mums favourite colour palette, movie or pop star ask the seller as they may be willing to do a custom piece just for you (and your mum)

Have you purchased your mum something from my gift guide or from Etsy

I would love to know

Etsy : The perfect place for a unique Advent Calendar

Over the past few years, I have shared with you my favourite unique Christmas cards, stocking fillers and tree decorations, all available from Etsy This year I want to share my favourite advent calendars. Maybe like me, your children are growing up and so they will appreciate a unique advent calendar for the treat it is, or maybe you would like the joy your family members get from opening their gifts to extend beyond the one day, or perhaps (also like me)  you just want to treat yourself a little bit. The possibilities with Etsy really are endless, and there are many more options than those that I am sharing, so I would highly encourage everyone to grab a cup of their favourite hot beverage and spend a fun 30 minutes persuing these sellers, and many more besides that. For the foodies, I have a list of food-based calendars  that contain items such as pork scratching and cheddar cheese, alongside those containing the more traditional chocolate options.  Cheesies Advent Ca...

Inspired by // Miles Donovan Solar System (2) C/2011

Now that we are post Christmas I am starting to think about the fashion and beauty trends for S/S 2017 and have spent many hours browsing Vogue for catwalk pictures from designers big and small. I was then separately browsing Pinterest  (as you can do for hours on end) for collage artists (my new obsession) and stumbled upon this picture which I later found out was by Miles Donovan. (c) Miles Donovan  (02/12/2011 20.20 UTC) Solar System (2) C/2011  Upon seeing this picture a light bulb went off in my head - the colour palette was nearly identical to that used by Nino Banukhadia in their Spring/Summer 2017 RTW collection. The varying shades of grey will cool yellows and khakis are beautifully offset by the warm reds used around the eyes. This is a colour palette I could incorporate into my wardrobe and makeup this season quite comfortably as it is not too far of a departure from the dark greys (and blacks) that I wear on a daily basis.

Spring Summer 2017 Beauty trends

As I mentioned the other day in my Miles Donovan post now Christmas is behind us I am starting to think about my wardrobe (clothing and beauty) for Spring/Summer. As I am keener to experiment with my makeup than my clothing (office day job and strong reliance on black clothes that cover my belly) I paid most attention to the makeup looks and have I picked a few (more) of those that I would like to try to share with you. Do you change your look each season or do you have a go-to look you stick with? What is your favourite spring/summer product? Tessa
