2014 Spring Fling Event – Easter and Mother’s Day Gift Ideas from Hallmark Canada #Giveaway

For Easter, Mother’s Day, and Graduation Day (to name a few!), Hallmark Canada is offering the latest in gifts, books, stationery and greeting cards. This time, My Press Pause package includes thoughtful, one-of-a-kind gift ideas for special occasions, including Easter and Mother’s Day. 

Here are some of the Easter gifts I got: 

Miniature Egg World, “Cheery Chick” with light 

This resin figurine is such a darling. It’s like a springtime version of the snow globe! Any home will truly light up with this unique creation on display. It makes a good bedtime companion when reading Easter and springtime stories to your little ones, by just turning on its light and imagining this Cheery Chick listening or participating in your stories too. The ornaments outside the egg inspires me to bake a cake that is similar to this one! 

itty bittys™ Disney® Springtime Limited Edition Plush Minnie and Mickey Mouse 

Tired of giving out sweet treats that are kids’ cavity culprits? How about giving them new little friends to play with? These Minnie and Mickey plushies are such an adorable pair for tiny hands to snuggle with. They’re great for hanging toys on an infant’s crib, until baby is able to take them along to stroller trips. And because they’re so small, they make perfect companions to a greeting card, a bouquet of flowers, or chocolates for an expecting mom. 

Hallmark knows the best things to give when it comes to special occasions dedicated to the people we love. While I leave the Easter excitement to my kids, I can’t get enough of these wonderful Mother’s Day gift ideas: 

Pics ‘n’ Props Baby’s First Holidays Activity Kit 

This is just the perfect baby shower gift! Not only does this help new moms document all the first moments in baby’s first year with the included 4×6 photo album, but also take creative shots with fun props that baby can use for photo-ops in every special occasion! These are 21 holiday-themed props such as hats, new year’s eve sash, and  various “My First [holiday]” signboards of various shapes and designs that mommy and baby can hold together. It’s just so handy and artsy! 

Magnetic Memo Board 

Finally, an added pop of color to our reminder wall! I love the blue-patterned burlap design of this memo board, plus the bright orange hanging satin ribbon that comes with it. It has seven square magnets of different designs too. It took no effort for everyone of us in the family to notice what’s up on our memo wall, plus our added excitement in writing and posting our random notes or photos on it. And because of this awesome change, “This family is busy, beautiful, and blessed” indeed, as what its included note card says. What a flattering gift from one family to another! 

Mother’s Day Snippets and Stories 

This creative goodie will unleash the hidden scrapbook artist in you! It’s not about how beautiful your writing or drawing is, but on what  priceless words and photos of memories you would fill it with before gifting it to the most wonderful woman in your life. It’s covered in clothed hard cover, and includes 25 colorfully designed pages, 2 glassine envelopes, and 11 embellished tags. Any mom, grandmother, teacher, or guardian will truly find joy in opening this handcrafted wire-bound family memory album. 

Thanks, Mom: Letters, Poems and Short Stories of Gratitude 

I find this book unique because it is written by Hallmark fans! Which means, you need to brace yourself before reading this, or your heart will melt in no time. I love the idea of this project, because it is so sincerely created. It’s a reflective item that any mom can relate to. It’s so versatile because the writings come in heartwarming letters, inspiring poems, and touching short stories that will warm and comfort the senses, while drinking a cup of coffee or tea. 

Desktop Sentiment Plaques 

These are such simple but momentous rewards of being a mom. It has touchingly witty messages on both sides, which says everything about the ups and downs, and the eternal motherly presence that is above it all. What else is more lovingly powerful than that? 

If you can’t find the right words to say, these Hallmark gift ideas for Mother’s Day never disappoint. Forget about expensive material gifts if you’re not yet sure about them, because moms appreciate (and even prefer) the simplest tokens and gestures of love that they long to receive from their children. Trust me, ’cause I’m one of them!
