Last Minute Mother’s Day Gift Idea

Mother’s Day is next weekend! I’m always behind when it comes to getting my mom a gift, my sister and I always try to plan ahead but it just never happens. A pretty new fragrance seems like a no-brainer — especially when the bottle is as gorgeous as Untold by Elizabeth Arden  and I think just about every mom would love a new bottle of perfume, something she may not splurge on herself. But I thought it would make the fragrance an even more special gift to create a gift box around it — with a few items you can pull together last minute! 

Every new mom wants to be pampered (that’s me!) … I for one haven’t had a true date night since my birthday in October 2015(!!!) – so I love the idea of creating a cute little gift box with a gift card for a night out (pick up a gift card for a favorite restaurant) and a beautiful new fragrance for mom to wear out — Untold and Red Door by Elizabeth Arden are great options, you still have time to order online in time for Mother’s Day — just act quick before 5/4! 

I thought it would be nice to include a few photo prints in the gift box — since I for one rarely print out photos anymore. I love these little squares made from Instagram shots tied up with a pretty ribbon. And you can’t forget to add a few fresh flowers. 

Red Door is Elizabeth Arden’s classic, signature fragrance. It’s sophisticated and elegant… and has been a favorite of women around the world for years and years. I love the subtle red rose and freesia notes. 

Untold is a more feminine and floral fragrance — and my personal favorite… the bergamot and pear notes are lovely!
