Mother's Day is sneaking up on us. For those of us who haven't gotten their mom anything yet, Etsy.com is a good place to start. I love the idea of buying from small businesses or individuals, who have some passion about what they are creating...instead of coming from some mass production factory in Asia. Often the quality of the items is better, and the prices are reasonable (depending on what you buy). Be careful of who you choose to buy from if you are looking for genuine hand made items. There are still sellers sneaking on to Etsy who claim their items are handmade, but when you take a closer look, they are selling mass produced junk. It's been an ongoing issue with Etsy, but I don't see them going away in the near future. Just be aware that fakers exist!
For inspiration, I made a treasury collection called "Orange you glad your mom is awesome?". Hopefully this will give some of my fellow "last minute Annie's" some motivation to pick out a good gift for their mother, aunt, wife, or grandmother.
I also made a treasury the other day, specifically to celebrate my mother, based on her interests and fun attitude! Celebrate Your Mother
Good luck and happy hunting for just the right gift!
