This year will be my first Mother’s Day as a Mummy. Last year I missed out by 20 days! (not that I am bitter!). Therefore, I intend to make the most of it. Earlier in the week I blogged about homemade Mother’s Day ideas. However, Mr Hubby is not crafty, so I thought a spot of online window shopping was in order to get my wish list together. Here is what I am lusting after for Mother’s Day.
1. Butterfly Scarf – Not on the High Street £15 / 2. Betty & Betts Red Leather Shoulder Bag www.handpickedcollection.com £145 / 3. Fingerprint Necklace www.preciousfingerprintjewellery.com £85 / 4. Me To You Bear www.metoyou.com £10 / 5. Personalised Cake tin www.handpickedcollection.com £39.99 / 6. Kitchen Aid Artisan Mixer John Lewis £429 / 7. Bracelet Pandora £245
OK, so I know I have aimed a little high on a couple of these picks, but I wanted to include a range…… and you never know Mr Hubby might read this and feel generous!
I love scarves and you can never really have too many, although Mr Hubby would probably disagree…. Anyway I love this pretty one, the butterflies are perfect for Summer. Another thing you can’t ever have too many of is handbags and how lovely is this shoulder bag from Betty & Betts?! Lush! The thing I probably want most of all is a fingerprint necklace. I meant to get one done soon after Baby was born, but you know how things go, I would really love one now. Baby loves teddy bears and so I am sure she would like to get me this Me To You teddy! For £10 she could probably even pay for it out of her pocket money! I adore this personalised cake tin, perfect retro look. Something that I probably will never have, but I always lust after is a Kitchen Aid Mixer like this and such an amazingly awesome colour! Finally I found this Pandora bracelet, which I thought was a nice alternative a pure silver bracelet, which I would normally be drawn to.
So what are you hoping for this mother’s day?
If you enjoy reading my blog I would be so grateful if you would nominate me in the Mad Blog Awards (before 14th March).
(So far I have been nominated for Best Baby Blog, Best New Blog and Blog of the Year, so any additional nom’s in those categories would be so lovely xx)

I have quite the stash of the Me to You from Mother’s Day over the years ^_^
A great wish list! I see a few things there that I want!!

I hope you get what you want 🙂 x
Great post, love the bag and the mixer. Have a fabulous first Mummys day xx
Author
Thank you! It’s Baby’s 1st birthday on mother’s day too! x
I’d love a kitchen aid, not sure I’ll ever get one though
Author
Me neither! x
That Kitchen Aid mixer really needs to come and live with me. I have a lovely Kenwood one but it’s not as pretty as that lol
Author
It is so nice x
Have a wonderful first Mother’s Day! All I really want for myself is an undisturbed lie in. I’m aiming high!
Author
Thank you. Yes that would be nice x
All I am hoping for is a lay in!!! Easily pleased me!! 🙂
Author
That would be lovely x
I have a white KMix and would not be without it, Great list
Author
Oh I am jealous x
I love that bag….such a great colour…hmmm, might have to drop a few hints I think!! 🙂
Author
I am a little bit in love with the bag 🙂 x
Nice choice and you’re aiming high, I like it! My kids like to go and choose their own presents with daddy, now they’re older and so I usually get a mug (from my son) and lots of little trinkety things from my girls. Not that I’m complaining – they’re lovely – but this year I have hinted massively for an Orly Keily bag!
Author
Finger’s crossed for you! You have got to aim high 😉 x
Would love all of that for mothers day…bit most of all I just want a lie in!
Author
Yes that would be lovely x
Great list! Love the bag and the butterfly scarf – saw one recently funnily enough albeit a slightly different style. Fingers crossed for gifts 🙂
Author
I hope you get spoilt x
Beautiful gift ideas, to be honest I’d be over the moon with a lie in! Or a spa day but I won’t be that lucky!!
Author
A lie in is a popular choice x
The butterfly scarf is to die for (and clearly affordable!). The mixer is another thing on my wishlist but a tad more expensive….hmmm!
Author
Lovely isn’t it! x
I’d love a KitchenAid… but I doubt I’ll get anything, as my husband is fairly bollo at Mothers’ Day. But I AM going to see The Cure the night before, so I don’t actually mind this year.
Author
Ooh have fun! x
Some lovely choices! I love that scarf, that bag and that mixer! Think I will be dropping a few hints!
Author
I hope you get all 3! 🙂 x
I only ever want lie in!
Author
Would be nice x
Great choices! I have a finger print jewellery but mine is from Petite Precious Prints and is more reasonably priced for a thicker polished pure silver charm. A coffee machine would be great for me 🙂 x
Author
I will have a look at PPP, thanks for the heads up x
Ooh that scarf is lovely!
This mother’s day I would love cuddles and a lie-in, a naughty brunch, then an afternoon with MY mummy, without any kids (maybe a facial?)…
Author
Sounds bliss! I might buy the scarf myself! x
Kitchen Aid, yes please 🙂 This year I have hinted at a very kitsch unicorn that you put cake sprinkles in and I will be over the moon with that.
Author
Ah that sounds cute! x
Ah a Kitchen Aid *swoon* I always wanted one of those fingerprint necklaces, but there was always something more important to pay for and I couldn’t justify the expense to myself. Wouldn’t mind if someone else got it for me though 🙂
Author
Me too 🙂 x
I like your style. The scarf is so pretty and it would be lovely to have something pretty but I do love home-made gifts and OH is really good with making the time to do something (however unsuccessful) and I really appreciate their attempts. Prepare to be emotional. My first Mother’s Day I was a wreck!
Author
Thanks! I will, It’s Baby’s 1st birthday too! x
Brilliant list! I hope you enjoy Mother’s Day 🙂
Author
Thanks, you too x
I would love a kitcheaid – its been top of my list for years. I do like the scarf too
Author
I will never get one, but doesn’t stop me lusting after it x
Ohhh wow love no2 that red bag.x
Author
Me too! x
I had a lovely scarf from my sister in law for Christmas and I’ve never had chance to wear it because one or other of the girls wears it everyday!
My lot know that books and garden ornaments are firm favourites when it comes to mother’s day for me 🙂
Author
Ah bless them x
Why am I drawn to number 6 over number 2?! Must be the colour… Happy first Mother’s Day, hope it’s everything you hope for.
Author
I would like them both! 🙂 Thank you x
I don’t mind presents, but tbh, just a lovely hand-made card and a bunch of flowers makes my Mother’s Day.
Author
I hope you get them x
Great list. I’ve got two silver pandora bracelets so a leather one would be very nice : )
Author
They are really pretty x
Unfortunately I’ve never had anything for Mother’s Day, not even a card. My cherubs are 7 and 4 and their dad never used to mention it when he was around. I have took your ideas for gifts to give out though
If there was some weird magical universe and I could have something, I would love a lie in, cooked English breakfast, an appointment at the hair dressers and a massage. Mmm. Lovely
Author
Aw that’s sad, I hope you get something x
Love the scarf
Author
It’s so pretty isn’t it x
Oh yes! Kitchen Aid Artisan Mixer – I want one too…. please… especially the red one
Author
They are so amazing x
Yes yes yes – everyone needs a Kitchen Aid – mine changed my life! 🙂
Author
It is so lovely x
I love the handbag, so bright and cheerful. x
Author
It’s so beautiful x
