Mother’s Day Gift Basket For Only $10

You all know I love a good gift basket, but I love an affordable one even more! I saw so many cute items at the Dollar Tree the other day, I wanted to share this simple mother’s day gift basket idea I put together.

The whole basket was under $10 and if you don’t need to buy ribbon, that would save you another buck! I actually used filler that I already had, but the Dollar Tree has this crinkle paper filler in the party section.

In the basket:

  1. Coconut and oatmeal soap- I took it out of the box and tied a piece of twin around it.
  2. A cute pen. This came in a 3-pack! I love items like this because you can split them up and use them for multiple gifts. I will be gifting one of the pens to my son’s teacher in a cute end-of-the-year gift basket!
  3. The candle section really seems to vary at the Dollar Tree but these gorgeous blue glass candles with cork lids are my current favorite. They look like an item from Target! They even have a few soy candles now!
  4. Magnetic list pads are the best. I use these for grocery shopping lists, writing notes to my son’s teacher, and keeping one in my purse for my kiddo to doodle on at restaurants. This cactus print pad was too cute to pass up!
  5. I was hesitant on buying face masks from the dollar store, but I tried this retinol mask out and I am happy to report it is fantastic ! The price can’t be beat when you get two in a box for a dollar.
  6. Mother’s Day just can’t go without a handmade touch in our family. My son finger painted this wood frame and we printed off a photo of him to place inside.
  7. Pirouline dark chocolate… need I say more??
  8. Did you know the Dollar Store will often have name-brand products?? I am not a name-brand snob by any means, but with my sensitive skin (and my son’s) we usually stay away from cheap beauty products. But this Dove nourishing hand cream is gentle on our skin! I never like to gift items I personally wouldn’t use, so this hand cream was a perfect addition to the basket.
  9. Last but not least is the galvanized tin bin that I used as the basket. These are the perfect size for gifting! They don’t take up a ton of space so they could be used as table centerpieces or on your window sill with florals. I will be using mine with a foam block and faux grass (all from the Dollar Tree) to add some Spring vibes to our guest room! (see photo below)

I also love a cute gift tag so I made three free printable tags that you can download and print here here and here.

You can use regular paper and then tape it to a thicker piece of paper or print on card stock or brown paper if you have it. Use a hole punch at the top to string your ribbon through or use double-sided tape to attach it to the front of the bin.

If you are wanting to put the tin IN something for gifting, I say skip the gift bag! I re-use all the gift bags I receive and no one ever cares. But if you don’t have a gift bag already, no need to waste the paper. Head to your local fabric store and pick out a cute print to tie up your gift instead! A bandana or a scarf would work for smaller gifts. Or buy a cute reusable tote (these are usually under $5) That way the gift recipient can use the tote over and over and won’t just throw away a paper bag. Plus, it always has that extra “wow” factor that I shamelessly love!

I have grown to really love Winter, and get excite I have grown to really love Winter, and get excited with each snow fall. But I am already dreaming of being barefoot in the grass and foraging for herbs in the forest. There's nothing better than a late Spring breeze blowing through an open window and watching the forest explode with color and life. We still have a few more months before I can enjoy those things, so until then, I'll try to savor the cozy days of hot tea, cookies, crunchy snowy walks, and candle light. 
Are you itching for Spring already or happy with the snow?

We lost power for most of the day yesterday becaus We lost power for most of the day yesterday because of a windstorm. It's kind of like our snow day when this happens, so we spent the day making a fort in the living room, reading books and playing games. It was the perfect cozy day to bring out our latest @literatikids box. This month's box was by far Liam's favorite so far. (I'll show you what we got in my stories today) 
Our favorite monthly surprise, @literatikids has been sending us some really amazing and beautiful books to add to our little library. Head to the link in my bio if you are interested in 25% off your first box! Signing up is super easy. You choose which club your kiddo would fall into (books are chosen by age and reading level) then the 5 hand-selected books arrive at your door! You get a week to try out the books, then send what you don't want back for free. So far we have loved every book we have received! 📚 
When the power came back on last night, Liam and I were actually bummed😆 I love having a tech-free day and he loves building forts and using candles for light. He also loves when I cook a meal with our camp stove at home. It was nice to have running water again, though. That I definitely missed!

Have you ever put together a book basket? I use t Have you ever put together a book basket? 
I use to do these a lot when my son was a toddler and I decided to  make one today for #mtnwildstorytime to see how my 8 year old would like it. I was very surprised that he really loved it!! Even though everything in this basket are items we already own, it all seemed new and novel to him presented in a basket. Easiest story time ever! You can make these book baskets with any picture book, and I already have about a dozen ideas to share with you! Gather up things around your house that fit the theme or setting of the book. This could be a snack mentioned in the book, toys of the characters, coloring pages, seasonal items.... 
I gathered up some bear and wolf stuffed animals, wood toys, plastic toy animals, and paper masks. 
While we read through Bear and Wolf by Daniel Salmieri, my kiddo played with the bear and wolf toys and pulled out his rock collection and toy trees and set up a little forest scene. This story takes place during the Winter, so he took some white felt and laid that on the ground for snow. Then he decided he wanted to read through his wolf facts book (wolves are his favorite animal) and we watched some educational videos online about bears and wolves.  It was a long story time but the best one we have had in awhile. 
Happy reading ! 📚

Thank you @experience_soar for sending me your CBD Thank you @experience_soar for sending me your CBD tincture duo! [#gifted] 
I need all the harmony I can get right now 🙏 
The energy enhancement tincture is peppermint and tastes real good in my morning coffee 😁 The sleep secured tincture is lemon flavored and perfect in a hot cup of chamomile at the end of a long day. The harmony blend doesn't have a flavor so can be added really to anything.  You can put a dropperful right under your tongue but I prefer adding it to beverages, myself.

I'm curious, do you use CBD daily, occasionally, or never ? (Topical or tinctures)
