Mother's Day Gift Guide

***This post contains affiliate links.***

This is my first year as a mother so I put together a gift guide of things I would love to get as gifts. Seemed only fair. ;)

Mother's Day Gift Guide

1. Maybe it's because I'm breastfeeding, but I'm always hungry these days. I would would love someone to give me a box of Mrs. Field's Cookies...or any food for that matter.
2. Skip the floral bouquet and give mom a floral blazer to let her know you think she's boss.
3. While pregnant, my poor feet became very neglected. An at-home pedi spa is just what I need.
4. I really have to be sure and stay hydrated these days, so this water bottle would be an awesome gift.
5. And finally, to pass the time while I'm maternity leave, I could go for a new (to me) 3DS game. Zelda for the 3DS perhaps?

OTHER IDEAS:
I think subscription services make fun gifts. Why not give mom one of these:

• Healthy and delicious snacks delivered right to her door – give your mom the gift of Nature Box (first month's subscription is FREE, say what?)
•  The best in beauty, fashion, wellness, and fitness delivered to her doorstep four times per year – FabFitFun subscription
• A monthly glam bag that she can customize to her preferences that's only $10 for amazing products – ipsy subscription

Baby Shower Gift Guides

With our baby showers coming up, I thought I'd team up with Target (affiliate) to give you some ideas for baby shower gifts that any parent would love to have when they welcome their new baby! Also, if you are expecting – first, CONGRATULATIONS! – second, you should totally sign up for Target's Baby Registry!

1. Not the most exciting gift, but definitely one that is needed, Healthcare and Grooming Kit.
2. Changing table mats. I don't have any experience in this realm yet, but I've heard the horror stories.
3. I actually have this diaper bag on my baby registry! I think a backpack is the way to go and Mr. LL can carry it around, shame free, too!
4. How cute is this little fox? Bonus, he clips onto the stroller so he won't get lost when you're on the go!
5. The world of online parents love these WubbaNub pacifers and I'm totally down with the hype.
6. The baby shower staple, Boudreaux's Butt Paste. I've never been to a shower where the mom-to-be didn't get this in some form.

SOME OTHER IDEAS

• I'm seriously considering getting the diaper & wipe subscription from Honest Co. and diapers are always welcome gifts (affiliate link).
• There's just something magical about Melissa & Doug toys. I feel like Lazy Baby could really grow her imagination and cognitive skills with them (affiliate link).
• Fisher Price pretty much has the baby gear market covered. Play mats, bouncers, rockers, swings, plus bright and shiny toys that even I'm drawn to – they have it all (affiliate link).
• I love this onesie from Etsy seller Biased Baby. My friend Sara already got it for Lazy Baby!
• Give the gift of...YOU! Whether it's in the form of: watching the baby so the new parents can get some sleep/take a shower/run an errand; cooking and bringing them a home cooked meal; offering to clean; or even just offering to run to the store for them – remember, "it takes a village."

Valentine's Day Gift Guide with Target

I'm super excited to be working with my new affiliate sponsor, Target! Just like every basic white girl, I too love Target. To share my love I thought it was perfect to share with you some Valentine gift ideas that you can find, get and/or put together at Target! Here we go (oh and in case it isn't obvious, all the links this post are affiliate links):

1. Bake your honey some sweet treats with this adorable heart cupcake pan.
2. Fall in love with these mini love pillows (each sold separately, btw).
3. Young and old (nerds like me, anyway) can appreciate some Pokémon Valentine's (plus, they come with tattoos!).
4. Let your kitties know you love them with these too cute 2-pack of Valentine mice.
5. And for the dogs in your life, how about a multi-squeak love note?
6. Get lit with this YOU + ME marquee sign.
7. I CANNOT WAIT to make a Valentine Box with Lazy Baby in the future!
8. This cactus plush is the cutest way to let someone know that you "pick" them. lolz
