While they say good times spent with loved ones is the best gift of all, I know many busy mothers and grandmothers who would relish a relaxing afternoon just to themselves. While no one can make time stand still, you can provide them with some thoughtful trappings for a restful and restorative tea time.
This kit can be easily put together and tailored to your recipients tastes.
Just a few ideas
A Pretty decorative Box
A Pretty decorative Box
New or vintage tea cup
Selection of individual teas or container of a favorite
Silver (or silver tone) spoon
Pretty napkin or two
Boxed Cookies, savories or sweets
Local honey
packaged sugar cubes
A favorite photo
Stationary and a pen
A book, magazine or journal
Cd of favorite music
silk flowers or real if delivering in person
I bought this sturdy cardboard storage box in the decor section of my local craft store. They can be found in a variety of lovely patterns and designs
A pretty bow secures individual tea bags and a vintage spoon
an assortment of tea treats and little luxuries
I created this simple label with image from the Graphics Fairy
secure with ribbon and a silk flower
This box flips open and can be used as an impromptu writing desk
A gift Card to tea room for a future afternoon tea with friends or relatives is a fun addition
Wishing Mothers, Grandmothers, Godmothers and
"just like Mothers" Much Happiness on their Day!
We're delighted to have our Mothers Day Flower Pot Pens
