The Sewing Mom

Did you know that Mother’s Day is May 11, less than 3 weeks away?

Since becoming a mother myself 12 years ago, Mother’s Day has definitely taken on new meaning. It has really made me appreciate my own mother so much more for all she did for me and continues to do for me today even though she lives almost 1,000 miles away. We’re always sending each other little things throughout the year, but for Mother’s Day, I really like to choose something very personal, something I know she probably wouldn’t buy for herself and yet it’s something she would enjoy.

She & I are both coffee drinkers, but there are many times when we enjoy a cup of hot tea. It’s a nice soothing drink that is enjoyable and relaxing. I realize there are a number of places to buy tea, but I recently discovered FullBloomTea.com online and they carry some very unique gifts that are perfect for Mother’s Day. In addition to selling teaware, they have some neat gift sets including the “Tea for Two” set pictured here.

I think what makes these teas unique is how they are packaged and what happens to them after you poor hot water over them.  Each tea bloom come individually tied and wrapped and once the hot water is poor over them, they appear to be blooming. This is the reason that many of the gift sets come with a clear glass mug, in order to view the “blooming” drinkable bouquet of tea.

If you’re looking for something unique to give your mom or any other tea drinker, this is definitely it!
