Celebrating Moms with the Kohl’s Mother’s Day Sale! {Giveaway}

May 10, 2013 By Melanie Edwards

{Sponsored giveaway}

Mother’s Day is a two-fold celebration for me since I’m a mom and a daughter. I see my mom on a regular basis since I’m lucky to live near her, but I do make it a point to visit her on Mother’s Day. So, my Mother’s Day celebration is always split in two with half spent with my husband and children and the other half spent with my mom (or all of us). She’s a special lady in my life, of course – despite normal growing-up frustrations, she really has been (and continues to be) a great mami. I even told her online, so it’s official. 😉

Shopping the Kohl's Mother's Day Sale for Mother's Day Gifts

When Kohl’s asked to partner with us for a Mother’s Day celebration, I knew it would be a great way to celebrate all the great moms out there – including you! Plus, it was a good excuse to go shopping with my baby girl and pick out a great gift for her abuela – someone that is as equally dear to her as she is to me! My baby girl and I shopped the Kohl’s Mother’s Day sale and put together a nice gift for my mom. Here’s what we found:

  • Sonoma Life + Style Jar Candle in Hibiscus Flower scent (similar to this one) that my daughter thought smelled great and would make a nice addition to the other candles my mom has.
  • Two Sonoma Life + Style photo frames to fill each with a school picture of my kids. From what I could see, pretty much all photo frames were on sale for 50% off in the stores!
  • A bracelet and pair of earrings my baby girl picked out because she knows abuela likes to wear jewelry. There were a lot of sale items in the jewelry department too.

I loved shopping with my baby girl to find a great gift for my mom and it was wonderful to see her truly thinking about what her abuela likes and what we should pick out. I think my mom is going to love her gift, especially because my girl personalized it for her. Now it’s your turn to have fun shopping at Kohl’s and perhaps treat yourself to your own Mother’s Day gift! Check out the giveaway details below.

    My grandmother was the most special mom- she was like my mother, grandmother, best friend, mentor and confidant all rolled into one tiny little lady. She raised me and I when she passed away, a little piece of me went with her. Mother’s Day is always hard because she isn’t around anymore to share it with. I now have my own child and I pray that I am half the mother that my grandmother was.
