Can you believe we’re nearly to Mother’s Day? (This is when most of you are like, “Oh shit! It’s in two weeks!”) Most of you who follow me closely know that my mom passed away almost 10 years ago, but this gift is what I wish existed when she was still alive. If I could go back, I wouldn’t want to give her the materialistic things that I did–which she never used anyway. (I’m looking at you box set of Seinfeld DVDs that sat on her dresser while she instead watched the syndicated episodes on TV. LOL). This gift has meaning–it tells her all of the things I wish I could have told her. It’s called a Little Love Jar, and it’s literally the best Mother’s Day gift you’ll ever give your mom.

So what is this Little Love Jar thing? I’ll break that down, but heads up! Stick around to the end of this post because I’m giving a jar away to one lucky winner–the details to enter are at the bottom of this post. Basically, a Little Love Jar is a jar full of kind notes from a person’s friends and family packaged beautifully and sent to the receiver of the gift. I met the owner of this small business, Corrin Madden, last year and couldn’t get over the positivity and love she’s trying to create in the world. Here’s how it works:

Step 1: Purchase a jar from the Little Love Jar online shop, and receive a custom link. This link allows you and family/friends to write up to three kind/funny/sweet messages to the person you’re giving the gift to.

Step 2: Send the link to family and friends so they can submit their heartfelt notes online.

Step 3: Sit back while Little Love Jar collects, prints, cuts and folds each note and fills up a love jar with them. They’ll package it beautifully and ship it to the gift receiver’s doorstep.

Step 4: Prepare yourself for happy tears. I mean it! I gifted this to my aunt, who has basically become a second mom to me after my mom passed, for Christmas. She is not an emotional person–I’ve rarely seen her cry. And as soon as she popped open the jar and read the first message, she was ugly crying happy tears. She later told me that it was the sweetest gift she had ever received in her life.
