What Does Mom Want?

May 1, 2015                                                                         Written by Elise                                                                                                                                                                               Mother's Day is May 10th this year. It can be difficult to think of gifts to give, especially to mom. We asked some of our employees, who are mothers, to tell us what they'd love to receive from our store as a Mother's Day gift.

Cindy's favorite was this piece of decor from our store. We have lots of great items like this, so it was a tough pick but this one won in the end. She loves the colors and the message. She hopes her kids think of her as mother and friend as well!

Dani said her favorite treat in the store is an old-fashioned candy once lovingly called "Chicken Bones": Coconut Crunch Bars. It's thought the candies were called chicken bones because they look somewhat similar to fried chicken, but they certainly don't have any chicken or bones in them! They're made of peanut butter and coconut. These would make a great gift!

Brandy told us she likes the Naked Bee lotions we carry in the store. Their lotion is 70% organic, contains no dyes, and (in addition to some other great benefits) the company has never tested their products on animals. Besides those things, the lotions definitely smell and feel great! We carry their orange honey blossom, lavender, and grapefruit blossom scents.

When we asked Sandy what she thought would be a perfect Mother's Day gift, she was quick with her answer: Chocolate Covered Cinnamon Bears. These are big sellers around any holiday. The cinnamon bears we all love paired with a layer of rich chocolate make for an almost addictive candy.




Melissa's pick this Mother's Day is this collection of Disney collectibles. We've got figurines from quite a few movies, including Beauty and the Beast, Frozen, Cinderella, Tangled, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, The Little Mermaid, and The Wizard of Oz.


We hope these Mother's Day employee picks from Western Nut's mothers will help you out while shopping for gifts this year, and that you have a wonderful holiday with your family. Stay safe and have fun!
