Hello friends…I hope you’re having a great week so far.
I can’t believe how fast April has gone by as May is just a few days away. We’ve been very busy around the house of late, with lots going on behind the scenes. I hope to be able to share details in the coming weeks, but in the meantime, I’m super excited to be partnering with one of my favorite sponsors Birch Lane to bring you a super sweet Mother’s Day gift idea, as well as a little surprise.
Putting together themed gift baskets is something I really enjoy doing as they’re practical, can look so beautiful and are relatively easy to do.
For this beautiful gift, I chose this pretty water Hyacinth woven basket and filled it with items for a day of pampering for my sweet momma. I included several spa essentials such as this beautiful Sheeran cotton bath robe and Lindt white chocolate truffles (of course!).
Some hand and nail cream, body scrubs and wash, nail polish and this adorable bumble bee soap set, which smell so pretty.
I also included some gorgeous waffle cotton bath towels.
And I also placed this little White Orchid, for a touch of glamour.
Lastly, I tied a pretty satin bow to add a bit of color, and guess what…
My friends at Birch Lane are offering you a chance to win a $250 gift card so that you can recreate your own spa basket or get a little something for yourself or your sweet momma.
You can enter via Rafflecopter below.

Thanks, Lucy! Happy Mother’s Day to all of the people who make living more beautiful with creating such wonderful displays of beautiful things that we use everyday in our lives…. Those towels are spectacular, your artful arrangement makes ordinary seem like spa… Happy Day!
Potted flowers, hanging baskets and the day spent together has been our tradition in the past.
I need new towels bad and hope to win! My favorite memory of my Mom is how she often had a hard time looking mad while scolding us kids. She often appeared to be suppressing a laugh at our antics! Now that I’m a Grandma I have had many such episodes! Being a Mom is the greatest joy and blessing! Knowing to laugh a lot helps!
I love Birch Lane. It is hard to pick but this http://www.birchlane.com/Birch-Lane-Starfish-Undersea-Pillow-Cover-BL4069.html is one of my top picks. Thank you for the opportunity.
I’ve never tried any Birch Lane things but the basket is a great idea! Hard to pick one memory of my mom but I always love thinking back on the times we have laughed so hard we have cried…at nothing. Love her
Beautiful, beautiful, Lucy!
I am not familiar with Birch Lane to have a favorite product, but I would love to find out!
What a wonderful gift basket!
The basket is so beautiful and the bee soaps are adorable!
I love ALL Birch Lane products and would be thrilled to win! I especially need new towels and so that’s my pick!
One time our older brother told us if we jumped out the 2nd floor window, with a blanket parachute, we would float! My little brother went first! I was supposed to be next but changed my mind when little brother crashed to the ground below without ever once floating! My Mom was sitting at the kitchen table, peacefully drinking coffee, when she saw her youngest fly to the ground just outside! My poor brother was fine thankfully! That was one of the many times Mom had to scold while trying to suppress a laugh!!
Oh my goodness….I’m not sure if it’s appropriate to laugh…but that is one great memory. I would have definitely said a few chosen words to one of my kids here and there…after making sure they were fine of course! Thank you for sharing such great story. Smart girl you. xo
You’re welcome!
I am in love with their beautiful sheets and bed linens. Nothing is better than getting into a beautiful cosy bed.
My favorite Birch Lane home accent is the pretty water Hyacinth woven basket!
Such a beautiful basket! I love the little soaps and the towels. I recently purchased the flower “Blossom Decorative Plates” and I love them! I always knew my Mom was special but I REALLY appreciated her after becoming a Mom myself. She raised 4 kids by herself and always put us first. With two kids myself and the support of my husband, I often wonder how she did it all.
I hope you made one of those baskets for yourself.
Waffle weave towels make me weak in the knees. My mother is my rock, and I love her. My sweetest memories are of my gramma, who was really the kindest and strongest woman.
I have fun, silly and serious memories with my Mom. One of our sweet memories is before I got married, when we use to cuddle on the couch together and watched movies.
Absolutely perfect mothers day gift. My mom never takes time to pamper herself. She really needs this!
What a beautiful gift basket! Mothers Day is still hard on me, 7 years after she passed on. She was always there for everyone, full of love and always giving to others.
My sweet memory of my mom (mother in law) is truly a blessing to me. She had taught me of what a strong, loving, caring, funny, honest, sincere, mom she is. Those values are place into to me and I will always be thankful for her and for her example to me.
I love the white waffle weave towels – they look so inviting!
Thank you for this amazing opportunity to begin with! My favorite Mothers Day surprise was last year when my children each surprised me with a visit (a little gift) of their time and family <3
My favorite is the Evelynne Mini Crystal Chandelier.
Beautiful. Your gentleness and beauty shines through your words, your art, and your blog. It is your inner beauty that your readers look forward to seeing in every post.
Blessings,
Shelley
i would love to win this for my mom…it seems she does so much for others, me included, and does very little for herself. this is would be an extraordinary gift for her. thank you for the chance to win.
that orchid….
so wonderful …
I love giving ….and getting gift baskets. I pick up little things I think would work in a basket all year long.
my favorite memory of my mom was when i was 6 years old and desperately wanted to be a ballerina and continue with dance lessons. we had an old upright piano and my mom was a very good pianist and she and my daddy thought that i would be better served in my life by earning piano than taking dance lessons. this was a huge disappointment to me. so we started. i didn’t like taking piano lessons and it seemed that every lesson was an ordeal. my mom was trying to teach me about the measures in a song and how they held the notes and how the music was divided into measures. i just didn’t understand it and i was on the verge of tears. my mom pulled out a fudge bar from her purse indicating that this was a line of music. then she cut the bar into measures and we ate it. i understood the lesson perfectly.
I really like the Longview Table Clock
Love the cute little Bee soaps (reminds me of my Dad, a beekeeper hobbyist), and also the waffle-weave towels. The perfect basket for a Mom Spa Day indeed! Any Mom would love that for sure. Thank you! =D
This is gorgeous, what a perfect gift! Birch Lane has amazing home items, it would be impossible to choose a favorite! xo
One of my favorite memories of my mom is the scent of lavender, her favorite cologne!
That’s a very thoughtful gift. 🙂 My Mom died when I was young, nearly 22 years ago, but I was just telling my daughter about her dewberry cobbler. She wasn’t the best cook but we would go pick fresh dewberries in the summer and she would make THE best cobbler .. a true Texas cobbler with a lattice crust, none of that weird biscuit stuff. 😉
Lucy, the basket it beautiful and such a great idea! My mother loves pampering as do I! Thanks for a chance to win the gift card.
What a beautiful basket, love it all!
Love it all… The orchid was a beautiful touch…the ribbon too!
my mom’s a really thoughtful person, i love getting a card in the mail from her for no reason at all. it’s the little that you appreciate.
thanks,
b
One of my favorite memories of my mom was her laugh. She could just get so tickled. I miss that laugh since she has dementia now. She has lost a lot of her emotions along with her memory.
I love the gorgeous basket you pit together for your mom..
So soft, romantic and calming.
My mom is the best and would love this.
I am a birch lane addict..haha.
One of my fave items are throw pillows..its nice to change them out seasonally.
The white lush waffle towels are nice too.
Thanks!
That basket is beautiful and everything inside is so lovely. One of my daughters is really good about giving me chocolate truffles and I always get so excited when I see them. I know your momma is going to enjoy all of the goodies and the beautiful white orchid. She is blessed to have such a thoughtful daughter. Have a Happy Mother’s Day!
Thanks for the giveaway 🙂

Thank you!
I love all the birch lane turkish towels and throw blankets!! Fun giveaway!
LOVELY BASKET! MY MOM IS NO LONGER WITH US, BUT I’LL ALWAYS REMEMBER HER SWEET WAYS !
My favorite is the Alexa White Monogrammed Bedding Collection.

Thanks for the giveaway! I really like the clocks at Birch Lane. I’ve been looking for one to style my bookcase and I love this one: http://www.birchlane.com/Frederick-Table-Clock-BL6922-BL6922.html
I really like the mercury glass candle holders.
The Birch Lane Sheeran robe looks cozy!
I like their Longview Table Clock .
Thank you for letting me know about Birch Lane! I have been searching for bathroom lighting that didn’t break the bank and fount not one but two that are in the running. Also love the Bumble Bee Gift Set which I am going to drop the hint to my daughter! Thanks for the chance at the giveaway!
I love those bee soaps, too cute.
My mom has always been my best friend and puts me and her grandsons before anyone else.
I love your pictures, so relaxing!! I would love to purchase the decorative nest and hive plates to hang them in my kitchen.
What a great idea! Love it. I like to keep things simple so Birch Lane pillows are a must.
Beautiful gift basket! I love all Birch Lane products. I feel very fortunate to have my mom in my life. We are best friends! She is a very caring and giving person.
Making a gift basket is such a perfet idea! I feel like I’m running behind on a Mothers Day gift, but this will definitely work.
Those towels look amazing!
Beautiful basket! Thank you for the inspiration!
I la la LOVE that robe <3
I honestly have never had the pleasure to experience anything from Birch Lane. What a wonderful chance to do so…everything is so gorgeous!
Thank you for the chance to win
I love the bumblebee soaps! I see they have a candle and hand towels too. I love bees, so they are perfect. Thanks for hosting the giveaway!
It’s too hard to choose just one favorite! Their side tables and botanical prints oh and that robe looks so luxurious.
My mother is no longer with me. She would have loved the Mercury Glass collection and she would have loved this gift basket.
I really like the O’Keefe glassware at Birch Lane.
I love the Birch Lane water hyacinth basket. Your Moms is so pretty!
How fun! I’d love to give this to my mom.
Anyone would be thrilled to receive such a nice gift basket. Of all the items in the basket, I’m drawn to the one that’s the most simple: the little glass bottle with the white orchids. It’s just perfect.
Lucy, Any mother would love this beautiful gift. I lost my mom almost twenty years ago but I have many, many happy memories with her on Mothers Day. I’ve been eyeing the Natalia Outdoor Rug from Birch Lane for a while….love it!
My mom passed nearly 11 years ago, my sweetest memory of her is all the time she spent with both me and my close friends, just listening to us talk about our problems and offering advice.
i love when my mom surprised me and her grandbabies with a trip to california. It ended up being a huge family reunion and it’s a memory that i’ll cherish forever.
I really really love the adorable bee soap!!!!
The gift basket is a perfect way to give someone who deserves to be pampered.
I love the Celina Bedding Collection from Birch Lane http://www.birchlane.com/Celina-Bedding-Collection-BL4030-BL4030.html
My mother passed away several years ago but she would have loved the O’Keefe glasses to use at her bridge parties.
I’d love to treat my mom to some really nice, pampering gifts because she always puts me first above all else!
I share my bed with 2 dogs and just discovered holes in my sheets. Looks like their paws digging in. I desperately need sheets and love the 500 thread count sheets.
One of favorite memories with my mom is our annual trip to county fair. Each year she would take my sister and I out of school — we never went on a weekend. It was so fun to play hookie with Mom.
Hi, I love the cotton robe and the basket….. well, actually I love it all! Happy Mother’s Day to all
Never been to Birch Lane before, but am loving it. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity. Hope I entered properly. Sometimes it’s hard to tell with no acknowledging site message.
I love those little bumblebee soaps! But I have to say that if I won, I’d want to buy all those cute nautical pillows by Birch Lane! I am obsessing over those lately!!!
I love getting my nails done with my mom, such a fun way to relax and catch up.
It wasn’t sweet at the time, but now I realize it was. My mom does not have a good singing voice and she always woke us up singing, “Good Morning, Merry Sunshine.” She has a positive attitude and wouldn’t allow talking poorly of others.
I’ve followed Craftberry Bush for some time. I know Lucy seems to have such an eye for beauty… The displays are always so beautiful, every woman would appreciate such beauty. However, I had wanted to say that the photography along with display is always the finest. Those waffle towels look beautiful, and inviting. However, I would never deserve to win, as what you have placed in this basket is just too beautiful to take out of place and mess up!! 🙂 But, give me a shot at the drawing, this grandma would bask in the beauty of all of those beautiful items!! Keep the little paintings coming! 🙂 Thanks!
The Susie quilt in white is what I would choose.
My favorite thing is to have coffee with my mama. I love just sitting and chatting.
My sweetest memory of my mom are the times we cooked together, she taught me a lot and I can pass them on to my daughter.
I like the Dixon Mirror at Birch Lane.
My mom is always doing for others.
I have wonderful memories with my mom, my favorite are when we are sewing and crafting together.
My mother always wore White Shoulders perfume. It’s interesting how a scent can carry you right back to a certain time in your life, and fill you with happy memories.
It would be really cool to win this.
Thanks for the chance to win, this looks delightful!
My favorite memory of my mom was her little giggle. She’s been gone for over 10 years and I still miss her everyday!
I really like the Mercury Glass Decorative Jar. http://www.birchlane.com/Mercury-Glass-Decorative-Jar-BL6358-BL6358.html
I would really love to have the set of 2 Greenhouse Terrariums. They really would look great in any decor.
I have my mom’s voice on a tape. That’s so special to me as she died when I was 2 months old.
Oh, how I wish my dear mother were still with us. She left this world on my birthday in 2008. However, I do have a wonderful aunt, age 97, whom I would love to pamper. This remarkable woman still lives at home and is sharp as a tack. She is such a positive person and deserves the very best. Thank you for the opportunity to perhaps do something really special for Aunt Weasie!
My mom always sends me a message each morning to have a good day.
When I think of my mom, I think of sacrifice. When I was a little girl, she had a health issue that required hospitalization. She ended up on life support and could not speak as she was intubated. She was writing notes to my dad making sure that he knew our schedule for Brownies (it was my sister’s turn to bring snacks). We had no idea how serious her illness was until we grew up and a family member told us she almost died and had received last rites that evening. So thankful she is still in my life and that I am the mom I am because of watching my mom’s example.
Love the themed baskets!!! You have amazing ideas 🙂
My Mom calls me every night..we chat about the days events..I feel blessed that I still have my Mom to talk to daily..she’s amazing and I love her so much
I love the Sadie Mirror! Very pretty home accent.
I have a beautiful memory of my mom singing a German Lullaby when I was little. I don’t remember much from my very young years but that lullaby has always comforted me when I miss my mom. Such a gorgeous basket.
i fave memory of my mom was when she handmade costumes for me and my 3 sisters each halloween, she really went all out to make them amazing for us!
I like the Stone Umbrella Planter.
Please let me know if you’re looking for a author for your site.
You have some really good posts and I believe I would be a
good asset. If you ever want to take some of the load off, I’d absolutely love to write some material for your blog in exchange for a link back to mine.
Please shoot me an e-mail if interested. Kudos!
Thank you for sharing your experience. In fact, each of us needs a good rest. It’s great that even at home you can now set up a full-fledged spa area, even a sauna. Here https://www.spiritualquest.com/saunas-salt-caves/ you can find everything you need for this. The use of an infrared cabin, as studies show, often has a beneficial effect on our body.
