“We all know flowers, cards and candy are a welcome sight on Mother’s Day,” says new mom Lisa Osbourne, here with 1-year-old daughter Pearl.
“However, I think any mom would appreciate something she can really use consistently or something she would love but wouldn’t buy for herself rather than something that has to be eaten or thrown away.”

As we dream of all the luxe goodies Prince William will most surely gift the Duchess of Cambridge this Valentine’s Day (somehow flowers and chocolate alone just don’t seem to cut it when you’re the future Queen!), we can’t help but also wonder what Kate Middleton will wear for the romantic occasion.
Will she do what she does best and recycle one of her fab frocks? Or will the mom-to-be reach for the maternity version of her famous navy silk engagement dress?
Although the special day is all about pink and red hues, dark dresses in rich colors are the way to go while you’re expecting according to Kate’s former stylist Nikki Pennie. Her pick: A classic blue wrap dress (a staple for the Duchess!) like David Bridal‘s Lace Cap Sleeve Dress ($149, below), which will work wonders on a woman with a beginner bump.

To design her latest Valentine’s Day dessert table, the Save the Date for Cupcakes‘s creative director Tanya Martinez teamed up with Make Life Cute for a fun twist on the traditional red-and-pink theme.
“This time around, I decided to add aqua and purple to brighten up the palette,” she says. “I love how well the vibrant colors complement each other.”
