Mother's Day Gift Ideas









 
 Today we are excited to be bring you some great gift ideas for Mother's Day which is just few days away! Mom's love it when their kids make them things. For this Mother's Day I (Emely) decided to make our mom a simple gift box. Since I live across seas I chose a gift box, that way it would be easy to ship. The things I used to make this gift box are as follow: a white box with a lid, some pink hay filler, some pink ribbon, card stock paper, scissors, a hole punch and a marker. Those are for the box itself, now all you have to do is buy some small gifts that you know your mom will like and fill it with all the goodies. For my mom I bought some simple cosmetics, a fancy bar of soap and a super cute roller perfume.

Mango and Strawberry Crumble
Ingredients:

Filling:
1 pound of strawberries, halved
2 medium mangoes, peeled, pitted and sliced
1/2 c coconut sugar or light brown sugar
2 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons of arrowroot flour

Topping:
2/3 cup old fashioned oats 
2/3 cup gluten free all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1/4 cup coconut sugar or light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
1 stick vegan butter, chilled, cut into cubes

Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. In a small bowl whisk together the lemon juice and arrowroot.
3. In a lager bowl combine the strawberries, mango, and coconut sugar.
4. Pour in the arrowroot mixture and gently toss until fruit is coated.
5. Pour mixture into greased baking dish.
6. Into the bowl of your food processor combine all topping ingredients except for the butter.
7. Pulse until mixed.
8. Add butter and pulse until the butter is the size of peas. 
9. Sprinkle mixture over filling and bake for 40-45 minutes or until filling is bubbling and top is light brown.
10. Serve with a dollop of coconut whip cream and fresh strawberry.

We hope you give these gifts a try and that your mom loves them!
