MOTHER'S DAY GIFT BOX
With Mother’s Day right around the corner, there’s no better time to let our fabulous moms know how much we appreciate them. A personalized gift box is a great way to thank them for all they have done!
One of the best things about living in LA (besides the year-round sunshine, of course) is the many local artisanal shops and one-of-a-kind boutiques sprinkled around the city. Since our moms are oh-so special and deserve the very best, why not gift them with products that are as unique as they are!
To build your own special curated box
- Choose a wooden box or crate large enough to hold all your goodies. Nowadays, I’ve been able to find wooden crates at craft stores, garden supply stores and online shops.

Think about what your Mom enjoys and start your shopping adventure!

Everything inside my gift box is still available at local shops or online if you need a little inspiration for your own gift box. But I definitely encourage you to get out there, explore LA and create your very own custom box that says “I LOVE YOU MOM!”
