#MothersDayGiftGuide - Live Plant Subscription from Succulents Box!

 *DISCLOSURE* Thank you to Succulents Box for providing product samples in order to facilitate this post.  All thoughts are strictly my own. 

Is your mom a plant lover?  If so, Succulents Box would make a great gift idea this Mother's Day!  

Succulents Box currently offers more than 300 varieties of succulents (both popular and rare ones) along with 5 monthly subscription boxes.  They also sell gorgeous air plants!

Succulents are known for their elegant beauty, but also for their affordability and environmental friendliness. They live much longer and require much less care than flowers and are a sustainable choice for home decorations and gifts. Succulents are known for their amazing ability to thrive in poor soils and low-water conditions, making them the perfect gift for even those who don't have a green thumb.

Succulents Box delivers well-packaged succulents with information cards on each variety and their needs.  We were sent four potted succulents to feature.  Check them out:

Haworthia Fasciata 'Zebra Haworthia

Aeonium Green Platters

Senecio radicans String of Bananas

Haworthia Cooperi

As you can see, they all looked great upon arrival and even better after about a week of acclimating:

These came in cute little clay pots and I up potted them to a planter box.  They look great either way!

Succulents Box offers a variety of subscription options for succulents and air plants including 1-4 plants in or not in clay pots with varying price points. They have gifts starting at $5.50 per month and discounts when you sign up for more than one month.

What mom wouldn't love a little bit of easy to care for plant sunshine in her life?  Grab an awesome Mother's Day gift from Succulents Box this year!

Scholastic Spring Books for Little Ones!

*DISCLOSURE* Thank you to Scholastic for providing product samples in order to facilitate this post.  All thoughts are strictly my own. 

Check out a few of our favorite Scholastic new releases for little ones this Spring:  

The Little Butterfly That Could

By Ross Burach  Illustrator Ross Burach

This sequel to The Very Impatient Caterpillar is a playful parody on butterfly migration - delivered with hilarity and heart. It pays loving homage to every child's struggle to spread their wings and gain confidence and independence. Bursting with jokes, heart, STEM tie-ins about butterfly migration, and relatable social-emotional themes, including persistence and growth mindset - this is sure to be a read-aloud favorite!

Chicken Little: The Real and Totally True Tale

By Sam Wedelich  Illustrator Sam Wedelich

Who are you calling little?

"Whimsy reigns in Wedelich's debut picture book... A spry readaloud that will entertain adults and listeners in equal measure." -- Publishers Weekly

Chicken Little is NOT afraid of anything. Well, okay, maybe a mysterious BONK to the head can produce panic. But only momentarily. It's not as though she meant to send the barnyard into a tailspin, thinking that the sky was falling. How ridiculous! But can she calm her feathered friends with facts and reason?

A timeless favorite becomes a clever cautionary tale in this FUNNY, fresh, and timely picture book debut by cartoonist, Sam Wedelich!

Chicken Little and the Big Bad Wolf

By Sam Wedelich  Illustrator Sam Wedelich

Chicken Little is NOT afraid of anything, not even a wolf. No matter how big or bad he is.

In fact, she’s never even seen a wolf.

So when a real wolf shows up, what’s a fretful fowl to do: join the frenzied flock and fly the coop? Or do a little sleuthing to find out if this newcomer is as bad as his reputation?

The irresistible heroine from Chicken Little: The Real and Totally True Tale goes toe-to-toe with another favorite fairy tale character in this brilliant comedy of errors spun with sly wisdom.

These glasses resist condensation formation, so they won't sweat and leave a mess or a ring on a tabletop.  

These stunning highball glasses are made for everyday use and are dishwasher, microwave, and freezer safe.

Eparé Clear Ice System

This is a clear ice cube making system featuring smart design and a durable build. 

Directional freezing forces air and impurities to the insulated tray bottom and out of the ice cubes so the remaining ice is clear and pristine.

This system creates big, beautiful 2 inch-square clear ice blocks for use in your favorite cocktails, whiskies and more. 

The compact size of the system makes a small footprint in the freezer.  Feet are built into the bottom of the base so the trays won't get stuck on floor of freezer.  The upper tray is designed with flexible materials, pop-out buttons are built in beneath the cubes for easy ejection.  Check out the comparison of the top (square) cube from the Clear Ice System versus the bottom (round) cube from a standard ice mold:

Pretty impressive!

Eparé creates kitchen accessories and lifestyle goods with a focus on functional design. They deliver versatile products at affordable price points coupled with a lifetime warranty.  You can find these two awesome products and many more useful kitchen and bar tools that Mom is sure to love at Eparé.
