What We Really Want for Mother’s Day…

Mother’s Day is coming and as much as we cherish the hand-painted “World’s Best Mom” mug that we received 20 years ago, there are so many thoughtful yet unique items that we really wish someone would give us! Check out the items we’ve picked out for our girlfriends this year and what we wish someone would give us!


Cuzen Matcha Maker Starter Kit

Modern and sleek matcha tea maker with a white body and a cylindrical silver top, placed on a wooden surface. The front of the machine has a circular cutout where a glass cup filled with green matcha tea is positioned. Next to the matcha maker, there is a ceramic bowl containing three different colored matcha tea packets: one green, one gold, and one white. The background is a smooth gray wall, adding to the minimalist aesthetic.

Calling all matcha lovers! Cuzen Matcha is an innovative at-home matcha system that replicates the sacred ritual of making matcha, producing freshly ground matcha from organic shade-grown leaves via a beautifully designed machine. It is fast and easy to use, making it a great alternative to a daily cup of coffee.

It’s a grown-up version of an Etch A Sketch. Inspired by the Zen idea of living in the moment, the Buddha Board is a screen-free mindfulness tool for “painting” with water. After she creates her design, the water slowly evaporates providing a clean slate to begin again. No shaking required!! It comes in both full and travel sizes so she can easily take it on the go.

Flowers are proven to bring joy and these unique floral prints are sure to make her smile! The artist creates each design by hand through a process of stamping the leaves and petals from real flowers. Each print comes with an info card that shares the symbolism of the flower or tree.
