Country Charm - Cath Kidston
Can you resist the nostalgic country charm of Cath Kidston’s creations? I feel like a picnic in the countryside right now.

Chocolate Flowers and Polka Dot Shoes
Gayle’s Chocolates
Here’s another Mother’s Day idea - You can’t go wrong with chocolates right? Especially when they come in such beautiful forms like these high-heel shoes and daisy suckers from Gayle’s Chocolates. I really love the brown and pink polka dot shoes. Kinda reminds me of the pink Jessica Simpson or black Naughty Monkey printed pumps from Victoria’s Secret, don’t you think so?

Cute Enough to Eat - Q-Pot Baby
Q-pot Baby is a newish kid’s line from Japanese food-themed accessory makers Q-pot which debuted in November 2007. It includes the same weirdly cute dessert-inspired accessories from the main line with the addition of quirky chocolate and biscuit print clothing in a gorgeous palette of dusky pinks and deep browns. Yummy!

Closet Romantic
Penhaligons Fragrance Collections
Continuing the theme for Mother’s Day, I love the tastefully-designed, classic fragrance collection from Penhaligons London, suitable for the classy ladies in your life. Prices are a bit steep, starting from £12.00 for the 100ml Bluebell talcum powder, but the collection looks oh-so-sweet and romantic and I’m such a sucker for lovely packaging.

Mom’s the Word
Mother’s Day Treats from Dean & Deluca
A gift-box of these red, pink and orange hand-decorated butter cookies that say “I Love Mom” is a sweet way to convey your love for Mummy dearest. Not into mushy words? Then this large pink purse bag, complete with handles, gold accents and zipper “created by a pastry chef who worked at some of the most famous pastry shops in Paris” looks like an instant hit.
I Love Mom cookies, $42, by Eleni’s for Dean & Deluca and Sweet Couture cake, $160, exclusively from Dean & Deluca.

A Puzzling Need - Pastel Rubik’s and Bedlam Cube
This morning, I decided that my life would be more complete if I had a Rubik’s cube. Not just any cube (I have two standard issue rainbow coloured cubes), it has to be a pastel one(j). Failing which, I’d settle for a platinum Bedlam cube (UK).

Simplehuman Dishrack
I like the fact that the drip tray of this dish rack from Simplehuman has a pivoting spout that drains water collecting below the rack. Oh, the matte steel with fingerprint-proof coating is sexy too.
