MOTHER’S DAY GIFT GUIDE

The Steele Maiden: Gift GuideAs a friendly little reminder – Mother’s Day is May 10. And while flowers are always appreciated – what about a batch of homemade cookies in this sweet cake stand? Or a rose gold ring with her favorite number (or the number of kids!). Fail safe winners also include a deliciously scented candle, carry everywhere tote bag, and pretty printed scarf.
