Etsy Gift Guide for Mother's Day
Of Note: Etsy has started a Stand with Small Businesses Editor's Pick Page where they highlight some of the small businesses you can find on Etsy. Buying from Etsy is a great way to support small businesses around the world during this time and something I have done and will continue to do as well :). As a community, if we support each other, we'll also stand together no matter what we have to weather.

Heart Signed beautiful poster for Mother’s Day
Every Mother’s Day is a wonderful time to show your mother, aunt, friend, grandmother, or anyone that is like a mother to you. :) Granted, every day is also the perfect opportunity to show them how much you care for, love, and appreciate them! To help with finding the perfect gift for them, I have created an Etsy Gift Guide for you divided into several different types of gifts from Gifts for Every Mother, to the Fashion Mother, Crafty Mother, Foodie Mother, Travel Mother, Bookworm Mother, or Fantasy Mother and even a couple of honorable mentions of Etsy Shops I have personally bought from and recommend. :) If you think of other Mothers that love specific types of gifts let me know as I would love to add them! Also, this guide can also be used as a Christmas gift guide, a Birthday gift guide, and anytime you need a gift for someone special in your life. :)
