Hi Friends,

Mother's Day is right around the corner and with shipping delays expected, maybe it would behoove us not to procrastinate until the last minute!

There is a mix of everything and whenever possible, I have also included coupon codes for further discounts.

TEAVANA

 
 
 
 
I am a tea drinker. I drink tea everyday, several times a day. As a result, I would say that I have become a bit of a connoisseur on the subject of tea. If your mother is also a tea drinker, and preferably loose tea like me, I can guarantee you that she will be absolutely amazed by the quality and selection offered by Teavana.
 
I have a few favorites myself (Tranquil Dream and Samurai Chai Mate) but there are so many more varieties to sample (at the store) or purchase online.

Teavana is on the pricey side but I personally think that the quality matches the price and from my experience with their teas, a little goes a long way. I do recommend that you purchase the tin cans in addition to the teas (or a gift set which would include the cans) since they will deliver their teas in sealed pouches. All Teavana teas are loose (not sold in tea bag form) and have amazing fragrance as well as visible ingredients: think full flower buds, huge chunks of dried fruit etc..
 
Current Offers (as currently seen on the site):
 
At Teavana.com, all orders over $50 receive free ground shipping to locations in the U.S. and Canada [ ].
 
For a limited time, receive a free sample of our Youthberry/Wild Orange Tea Blend with every online order. Each sample is designed to create 16oz of our delicious Youthberry Wild Orange tea. [  ].
 
 
 



 
From Teavana site: Hanami is the Japanese custom of enjoying the beauty of cherry (sakura) or plum (ume) blossoms. From the end of March to early May, Sakura bloom all over Japan. Elegantly cut bamboo is the base of this enchanting green tea blend, enhancing the clean refreshing taste of cherry, pineapple, mango, rose, and hibiscus [  ] .
Each gift set includes a stoneware Sakura tea tumbler with stainless steel infuser basket, an air-tight tea tin and 6oz (170g) of Sakura Allure Green Tea.
 



 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
************************************
 


These two are my favorite Teavana Teas:
 
Samourai Chai Mate - $6.20 / 2oz.
 
The fruits in this tea gives it natural sweetness, no need to add sugar or honey. It is absolutely delightful to drink anytime of day!
 
From Teavana site: The way of the warrior is strength, skill, fairness, mercy, power, energy, and balance. Our chai embodies this spirit and is mysteriously more delicious with a caffeine-rich green mate & green rooibos blend. Cinnamon, anise, cardamom, and almond are fortified with papaya and pineapple, orange, and lemongrass- all combined to face every new day full of strength and energy. SUPERFRUIT ENHANCED. CONTAINS NUTS.
Sweet and spicy infusion of cinnamon and citrus undertones.
 

Tranquil Dream - Herbal Tea - $6.20/2oz

This is the perfect herbal tea for bed time routine.



Tranquil Dream


From the Teavana site: Relax as comfort inducing Egyptian chamomile mixes with lemongrass and hibiscus. Curl up in your favorite comfy blanket sipping orange blossoms and pleasant mint that will have you relaxed and ready for a night of the sweetest dreams.
Soothing citrus infusion with light floral undertones.


 
 

 
 
 
 
 
From the Teavana site:



Our new and improved tea maker brews the perfect cup every time! It is the most efficient, simple and clean way to steep tea. Simply add tea and water at the correct temperature, then put the tea maker on your favorite mug. The patented drain mechanism will strain the tea into your cup and keep the leaves in the tea maker. Four piece construction allows you to remove the filter for cleaning and easily reassemble. Brews 16oz (2 cups) of tea and fits cups with a 3.5 inch diameter [ ] sturdy polycarbonate that is PBA free.

VERA BRADLEY
 
 
You cannot do Mother's Day without thinking Vera Bradley! Their purses and accessories offer such great quality and practicality, they are the perfect add-on for any occasion. I personally own three Vera Bradley purses (Squared away, Mandy and Chain Bag) and love each one. The stitching quality makes them very durable and best of all, most bags are machine washable since the hardware is removable. They make great gifts that will last a long, long time, not to mention the added plus: great allure and femininity!
