When I have kids, I am SO getting them one of these cute insulated lunch bags!! I hope the other kids don’t make fun of them haha. Even cooler…they fold out into a placemat!!

I haven’t read Life Of Pi yet but but I’ve heard great things about it. Also, they are making a movie about it! If you want to own the hardcover deluxe edition of it, snap it up now while it’s only $5 at Amazon!!

I never thought a house could be so cute until I saw these magnets!

A set of 3 for $5 at leafty’s etsy shop

Blythe Dolls are so fun. I’m always envious of the girls who have them and how they modify and dress up their dolls! Check out etsy seller joeykblythe who makes the cutest clothes for her dolls.

This particular dress is $18 but be sure to check out her store for other great outfits.

These passport holders are soooooooooo cute! There’s a bunch of different designs. My faves:

Since Mother’s Day is coming up I thought I would do a gift guide specifically for moms. I find that as I grow older, I end up buying my mom more useful gifts since those are the ones she seems to enjoy most. In fact, this angry asian girl wallet I own pretty much sums up my mom:

hehe, I love my mom! I hope that you’ll find something fitting for your mom in this list:

Breakfast In Bed Bath & Body Set for $30 - Not enough time to make your mom breakfast in bed? Just buy her this bath set, it’s the next best thing.

Sleekstor VeggieSteam for $10.99 - My mom’s a cook and I think this steamer would be so useful! You just stick it in a pot and steam your veggies away. It’s flexible enough to fit in a variety of pots and also dishwasher safe.

Sprinkles Cupcake Mix for $14 - These famous cupcakes come in chocolate, lemon, red velvet, or vanilla. Bake your mom a batch. MMMM!

Prepara Herb Saver for $29.95 - I hate when my herbs go bad before I finish using them. I know my mom would appreciate this. We’re viet….parsley and other herbs galore!

Deodorizing Refrigerator Egg for $16.50 - Is your mom as obsessed as my mom is with cleanliness? keep her fridge smelling good with this hitech gadget. She won’t have to keep replacing her box of baking soda since this lasts for months and can be renewed by just heating it up in the oven for 30 mins.

Mom and Me Photo Frame For $29 - How cute would it be to put an old picture of your mom and yourself in this frame??

Personalized m&ms (price varies on packaging but starts at $3.99) - Is your mom an M&M lover? How perfect would this be! Each time she eats one, she’ll think of you.

Pouch Mug for $11.50 - This is so convenient if you drink tea from a tea bag. Buy a box of her favorite tea and you got yourself a great gift!

Vacu Vin Wine Saver for $9.99 - ok, so your mom’s a wine drinker instead? This will help keep her bottles of wine fresher longer.

Uncooked Mother’s Day Card for $2.50 - I love these cards. All of their Mother’s and Father’s day cards are on sale for $2.50 too!

Or a more serious card for $2.75 - Love the colors!

I just found another website that sells samples, Simply Pink. Websites like these work like this: you pay a set price and they send you a box of samples. Simple, huh? You don’t really know what you’re going to get (sometimes they show you what you might possibly get though), it’s a surprise every time! It’s a great way to try new products you wouldn’t normally buy to see if you really like them. These particular samplers have 20-25 samples in them.

Each sampler is $22.50 including shipping and goes on sale every 3rd friday of the month.

If you have Moo cards, you’ll love this new holder they are selling. It’s perfect to use for holding and dispensing your cards!

Only $4.99 at Moo
