Mother’s Day in a Teacup

Moms are so special to us that they have their own national holiday, which is also celebrated in more than 50 countries around the world! Every May, we get to honor our moms on Mother’s Day to thank them for all they do. Here is Mother’s Day in a Teacup!

With my simple obsession with sweet little teacups I thought I would share how I used a few vintage teacups and created gifts for a couple of gal pals. Here are a few ideas of ways to honor your mom, grandmother, or other mom that’s special to you this Mother’s Day. So, why not show mom some love with Mother’s Day in a teacup.

Where to get the teacups and mugs?

Teacups and mugs are usually a pretty inexpensive item when you shop your favorite thrift store or retail store. $1 to $5.00 for the cups and mugs and maybe $10.00 for the bouquet or even less expensive for a small bunch of planted flowers. A pretty inexpensive gift and you’ve just nailed a Mother’s Day gift. Oh, don’t forget a pretty ribbon!

What are you doing for Mom on Mother’s Day?

What are doing for mom on Mother’s Day? Making mom brunch? Maybe going for a drive to a place she loves, maybe write mom a special note. To find that perfect gift for mom, perhaps thinking “outside the box” will help to make her feel extra special this year. Sometimes it’s the little things that moms appreciate the most. Whatever it is, time spent with you would be something she would treasure.
