Mother's Day {The Art of Frugal Living}
With Mother's Day, right around the corner
I wanted to offer you a bit of gift inspiration.
If you haven't read the book The 5 Love Languages, by Gary Chapman, I STRONGLY encourage you to do so!
I will help you forever know the perfect gift for your loved one, including your Mama!
Basically, the premise of the book is that we feel love mostly by one {oftentimes by a few of the
following categories}
Receiving Gifts
Acts of Service
Words of Affirmation
Physical Touch
Quality Time
Once you know how your loved one feels love you want to select a gift that fills their love tanks.
My love language is Receiving Gifts and it has taken me years to realize that just because I feel love this way, it doesn't mean everyone else does too.
I just LOVE to give gifts {and to get them of course too}!
Thank goodness my Mama and Mother in Law also have Receiving Gifts as their Love Language!
For them I used the treasure chest of goodies I have {and you do too at www.jewelkade.com/tiffanydirks}
to select Mother's Day gifts from.
Paired with 4 Hand Stamped Pewter Charms {One for each Grandchild's Initial}
Then I added Swarovski Crystal birth charms for the Grand kids.
For my Mother in Law I selected this Small Lock charm with Small Ball Necklace
We added a pewter "C" and an Antique Gold "J" {the Grandkids' initials}
&
An Antique Gold Key charm.
All of which can be found HERE.
Presentation is EVERYTHING!
I will be packaging my jewelry in these darling cans so it looks EXTRA charming!
