My idea of the perfect Mother's Day: breakfast in bed, a trip to the spa, and a gift basket that will last me the remainder of the week. Afterall, a celebration of mothers should be more than just one day, in my opinion. Mother's Day Month, anyone?
To give you a jump start on your Mother's Day wish list, I've got the gift basket covered: delicious and creative baskets from Printamentals. Printamentals.com is an e-commerce website featuring affordable and personalized specialty printing items, customized gifts and a large selection of gift baskets for any occasion or holiday. Their unique gifts that can be personalized include sporting balls, candles and even roses. They also offer gift baskets, candy bouquets, eco-friendly blooming gifts, gold plated roses, fresh roses and their newest product, the Skinny Dip all-in-one candle.
Printamentals offered to indulge me with a gift basket of my own. And being the chocoholic that I am, I selected the "Something Very Sweet" gift basket. It's described as a basket filled with love. As hectic as my life is with kids, job, household, blog, and the new pet bunny that husband got without telling me (don't get me started), I needed to take a minute to feel that love, and experience some chocolate. The basket was filled with such delights as chocolate sticks, chocolate biscotti, chocolate toffee and yogurt pretzels, and more. My favorite treats were the chocolate chip shortbread cookies and shortbread fingers, and the chocolate dipped oreos. They were as tasty as they sound. The only downside: hubby and daughter saw the gift basket, so I was forced to share. A little. I intend for Mother's Day to be very different, when I regress into my 2 year old inner-child: mine, mine, mine!
Now I just need to make those spa reservations...

I'd give it to my daughter. She is a first-time mom, and is doing a spectacular job raising my granddaughter!

I like the Delightfully Classic basket.
Printamentals.com is new to me. I like that they have a section of gifts for gardeners. I don't love the pictures of their gifts because they are small and I found myself straining to see the pics. I think they should be larger and load horizontally like other gifts sites (1-800 Flowers does)

I really wouldn't keep the Fancy Gourmet Selections for myself(I'm allergic to half the stuff in it...heh). I'd give it to my mum as she loves to have something sweet with her tea. She'd deserve it 'cause well, she's the best mum ever! :)
