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 Calendar £32.50

Etsy Holiday Gift Guide #1 Christmas cards

It is clear by now to anyone who knows me that I LOVE Etsy and it is always my first port of call if I need to purchase something specific or even if I just want to window shop. With Christmas on the horizon, my love for Etsy deepens as it is, in my opinion, the best place to get unique and personal Christmas presents. Over the next few weeks I will be sharing som e of my favourite Christmas present picks , which Etsy have already started doing over on the  Etsy Editors' Pick's page , but for today I wanted to share some of my favourite Christmas cards. If you have never shopped on Etsy before and wanted to dip your toes into the water before investing in a bigger piece, purchasing a Christmas card would be the ideal way to start. Nowhere on the internet or the high street will you get such amazing selection. Whether you want funny or soppy or pop culture based or even vaguely scary (I'm thinking Krampus cards) Etsy will have your back. He

Get That Glow // Highlighters with a twist

Gone are the days that highlighting was left to the professional makeup artists on magazine shoots. Now highlighting is a day to day occurrence for most of us I love that the trend has evolved enough to provide those of us who don't want a gold champagne shimmer. Some of us are aiming for extraterrestrial realness (maybe that's just me) so the colours now available are perfect and when they come in a palette as beautiful as the  Blacklight Highlight - 6 Color Palette from BH Cosmetics (and for only $16.99 !!!) you really can't go wrong. Whilst I try and sort the area in my room for shooting beauty pictures I thought I would share just a few of the items on my highlight wishlist. Are there any highlighters on your wishlist at the moment? Tessa
