Lets Make a Mess

A Colorful Mother’s Day Gift Basket

May 5, 2015 by Rachel 1 Comment

This past year, my mother has done so much for me and my family, and I really wanted to give her the best Mother’s Day ever. Even though she works so hard at her job every day, she spends all of her free time helping me out and supporting my endeavors, and playing with my three kids. #Bestmomsdayever #collectivebias

Even though she is more of a math person and less artsy, she has always had a huge appreciation for beautiful things and colors, and she has always inspired me to appreciate beauty all around us, and enjoy nature and colors. Whenever I see something that is an especially beautiful color, or a cool picture of things lined up in rainbow order, I want to share it with her.

Well her favorite color has always been green. She especially loves lime green, so much so that every time I see anything that is that color green I immediately think of her. I wanted to put together a very fun and memorable gift basket for her for Mother’s Day this year, but I didn’t have a ton of time or money to spend. So with the help of the “One-Stop Shop” by American Greetings at Walmart, I was able to pick out a cute green card, a Mother’s Day gift bag, green tissue paper, some Ghiradelli chocolate squares (minty green of course), and I was able to fill the gift bag with a collection of green gifts.

 

My kids also love colors, and have been helping me out with the color study type pictures I’ve been taking lately. So of course, they wanted to help out with the fun, and insisted I included some green jelly beans as a part of the gift. You can stop by Walmart and check out the convenient display and find everything you’ll need for the #bestmomsdayever, from cards and wrapping, to candy, flowers, and gifts.

 

What are some other great ideas of things to include in a colorful gift basket?

    What a fun "topic" for a gift basket. My mom's favorite color was always yellow and I think of her everytime I see something new in yellow. #client
