I've always found great joy in making and giving, so it's no surprise that I have always enjoy wrapping the gifts too. I truly believe that heartfelt gift wrap makes the recipient feel appreciated and cherished before they've even seen what's inside. I'm sharing my process here in hopes of encouraging you to forgo the shiny metallic bag of bows and nylon ribbon and, instead, forage for natural materials to top your gifts this year. There is so much inspiration in nature just there for the taking to act as gentle subtleties of the season you're celebrating.
I created The Meaningful Mother’s Day Planter and accompanying tutorial as a tribute to all those who fill a motherhood role as well as to you, who feel called to give something meaningful to a mother or mother figure. As the creator of this planter, you will customize it to create a seasonal gift, inspired by the mother or mother figure in your life, that is overflowing with sentiment and usefulness.
Wittingly named by my Jeopardy-loving husband after the category “Potent Potables” on the show, this pot is the perfect hostess gift! A classic planter is filled with starter herbs that can be used to infuse, muddle, shake and garnish your favorite cocktails, lemonades, and other botanical drinks.
Last year, I filled terra cotta pots with handmade botanical gifts from herbs and flowers I grew in my garden and gifted them to friends as we parted ways after our annual holiday party. They were so well received that I decided to make them again this year. And so a new tradition began.
This is one of my favorite self-care recipes and can be made in just minutes. I incorporate eucalyptus oil for its beneficial properties, including soothing dry irritated skin, protecting against infection, and rejuvenating sore muscles. I chose spearmint oil both to aid in reducing fever, fatigue, inflammation, and nasal congestion. Goat milk bath was chosen to moisturize and nourish skin.
