5 Mother's Day Gifts for a More Artful Life — Your 2022 Gift Guide
I feel like every year Mother’s Day ends up sneaking up on me, but if I am going to be honest, I am not great at remembering holidays that happen on different dates each year. This year, I was on it and paid a little bit more attention when I heard the holiday start to come up in conversations.
If you are like me and are guilty of dropping the ball when it comes to some of the smaller holidays, do not fret. I am wanting to help make the process a little easier this year for you. Not only is this a friendly reminder to purchase your Mother’s Day gifts before it’s too late, but I am also presenting you with a little shopping guide to make the hunt that much simpler.
Art Commissions for the Mother Who Loves Travel
When you are thinking about things your Mother loves, you might be considering what she enjoys and what she spends a lot of her time doing. Is she outdoorsy and love a good hike or even just walking her furry friend through the park? Is she an avid adventurer or even just enjoy traveling out of her home state when she has time to get away? I have the perfect gift for this type of woman.
The woman who is head over heels for a beautiful view, from the beach to the mountains, is sure to be an avid picture taker. Taking photos of breathtaking views and posting them on Facebook may be a common practice for her, but that should not be the end point of where her photos go. Surprise your mother this year with the most meaningful gift you can get her. Find a photo taken from her favorite travel destination and transform it into a stunning painting that she can look at forever.
One of my favorite offers I have here for my clients, is painting either their own or a loved ones photos of their favorite places. I especially love hearing the story behind why you love that specific destination. Our experiences are important and special to our lives and what makes us who we are.
Colorful Earrings for the Mom Who Loves Expressing her Style
Is your mom really into crafting her style, playing with colors in her wardrobe, or she’s just all about a good pair of statement earrings? Adding color to a fun and playful outfit is made easy when you can add a pair of brilliantly colored hand painted clay earrings. There is a wide variety of different styles of statement earrings in my shop, but Mother’s Day is right in the prime of Spring, so I am going to showcase here the earrings from my “Dais-ed” Spring earring collection.
The earrings within the “Dais-ed” Spring earring collection are all made of a lightweight polymer clay and hand painted with acrylic paint. The earrings are finished with a clear gloss coating to give them a little extra sheen. Lastly, all of these clay earrings are finished off with silver fastenings. The mother who is both girly and feminine and has a fun sense of fashion, will love a pair, or several, of the clay earrings available in my shop.
Original Landscape Art Prints for the Mom Who Loves Nature Inspired Wall Art
Is she a woman that loves adding color to her walls? Maybe she is redecorating or moved into a new house or even has an office that is just a little less than exciting to work in. She would be psyched to receive a ready-to-frame art print from my collection of original art prints. The art prints in my collection are all from original abstract paintings I have created. There are a variety of vibrant colored prints to choose from that are sure to fit her style aesthetic. Does she have a more neutral toned space? I always like to think green is a neutrals best friend, so I would suggest going with the Ozarkian Falls art print that is categorized by its brilliant green tones. Maybe she is looking to bring a wider variety of colors into her space, then I would suggest the Caves on Lake Superior art print that is teeming with beautiful colors across the board.
All of the art prints in my collection are 8 x 10 inches and are printed on a high quality sunset fibre rag paper. They are ready-to-frame as they are each matted on 11 x 14 inch window mats making your decorating process that much easier.
Artful Bullet Journal for the Mom Who Loves Jotting Things Down
Whether she is a woman who is always taking notes, making lists, is into keeping a schedule, or loves to draw, I am sure she will love a new bullet journal with a beautiful artful cover. There is a selection of 3 different, fun, and artistic journal covers of my original art with a soft matte cover. Each journal is a nice, portable size that is perfect to fit into any purse or bag, but is big enough to record anything you’d like inside its pages.
Painted Landscape Candles for the Mom Who Loves Maximalist Home Decor
When you walk into your mom’s home or office, is it full of shelves and cute end tables with adorable and stylized decor? Is she a maximalist in her style where she loves adding more unique decor pieces to her collection? Maybe she isn’t necessarily a maximalist, but loves decor inspired by nature and landscapes. This type of woman would love her own set of painted landscape candles. They can be decorated as a solo piece amongst other pieces she loves, or mix and match several candles for a whole candle display.
These hand painted landscape and patterned candles are unscented. The focus on these candles is more on the art displayed on them, then on burning them. Mixing in beautiful and unique candles with scented candles can set off a fantastic decor display that she will surely get compliments on.
Paint candles are coming soon (next week!), so sign up for my email list at the bottom of the page to make sure you don’t miss the collection release.
