Tea Time Mother's Day Gift Ideas



Old-Fashioned Tea Tin with Tea

I love the look of this vintage-style tea tin! It holds ½ pound of the tea of your choice from my Sweet Necessi-Teas loose teas—English Breakfast, Oolong, Chai, Ambrosia, or Keemun.. This sturdy metal tin with its tight-fitting lid will keep your tea fresh and bring an air of nostalgia to your kitchen as well!



Vintage Bone China Tea Set—Pink Roses

Just look at this lovely bone china tea set that I found while out antiquing on Friday! The set includes 4 tea cup trios (cup, saucer, and dessert plate) plus a sweet cake or petit four plate. The set features beautiful pink roses and has 22 Karat gold trim on all 13 pieces. No chips or cracks. The cake plate has a spot in the very center where the 22 karat has worn thin (see photo). Just too lovely!

Holds a generous 10 oz. Also included in the set are a sample of one of my teas (enough for 5 cups) tied up in an organza bag, a spoon infuser, and a lovely vintage linen napkin. Too sweet!

Mother's Day Gift Ideas



Mother's Day is just around the corner and I have a few gift ideas to share. There is something for every taste and budget in my shop!




For the elegant mother--White Roses Bone China Tea Set




This exquisite tea set would be perfect for an Afternoon Tea-for-Two! The fine bone china set consists of 12 pieces: 4-cup pedestal teapot, covered sugar, creamer, 2 cup and saucer trios and a lovely tidbit tray. Each delicate piece features full-blown white roses against an ecru background. Just beautiful!



For the young at heart mother: Spring Roses Tea Set





Isn’t this a fun springtime tea set? The colors—celadon green and raspberry sherbet pink—make me giddy for the sunshine and roses that are just around the corner! The ceramic set by Sweet Ellie Designs comes with a 4-cup teapot, covered sugar, creamer, tall mug (holds 12 oz.) and 8 ½” plate. This would make a lovely Mother’s Day gift!




For the traditional mother: Old Country Roses Sculpted Rose Tea For One Set: Stackable Teacup & Teapot (12.5 oz.)




Porcelain with 22 karat gold trim. Dishwasher safe.

Royal Albert's "Old Country Roses" tableware design is one of the most popular bone china patterns of all time. It has sold over 100 million pieces since it was introduced in 1962, outselling any china pattern to date. As popular now as it was when first designed by Harold Holdcroft, Old Country Roses was inspired by English roses in full summer bloom. This lavish design, enhanced by the elegant Montrose shape, is richly decorated by hand in 22 karat gold.



For the feminine mother: Teapot Jewelry




Above is a delightful line of miniature teapot jewelry that I have just ordered for my shop. Most are made with sterling silver and colorful beads from all over the world. The handcrafted teapots are very versatile jewelry designs. They are available as single pendants, charms to add to existing charm bracelets, earrings, bracelet and necklace ensembles, and dangle pins.


While sterling silver is the most popular format, gold plated teapots are also available. Beads used range from iridescent Austrian crystal, from dazzling Czech lamp beads to hand painted Chinese blue and white porcelain, from delicate Japanese rose decals to delightful sterling silver beads. Shown here is a display of the most popular designs using fabulous beads from all over the world. (Some items shown are by special order only.)


For the mother who has everything: Sweet Necessi-Teas Tea Sampler




This tea sampler pack features five of my favorite teas—English Breakfast, Keemun, Ooolong, Chai, and Ambrosia Tea Blend. Each tea comes packed in a metal tin with tight-fitting lid to insure freshness and holds approximately 1 1/2 oz.—enough for 15 cups of tea per tin. Delicious!
For the new mother: White Roses Gift Box


This sweet hat box, filled with a few thoughtful necessi-teas, is just the right gift to make someone feel pampered and special! The large rose-themed hat box includes the following Necessi-teas: a porcelain 2-cup creamware teapot; a porcelain creamware tea cup and saucer set; a vintage napkin; teaspoon infuser; a 3 oz. tin of Ambrosia Tea; coordinating photo album (holds 200 5” x 7” size photos) and photo cup desk set—which includes a journal, address book, shopping list, notepad, and 2 pencils. Too divine! Hat Box dimensions: 15” x 6 ½”.
These are only a few of the items in my shop that would make wonderful Mother's Day gifts. Please stop in at www.SweetNecessi-Teas.com to see the rest of my items and to check availability and pricing.
Live across the country or state from your mother? I am happy to ship your gift directly to your mom and even include a handwritten gift card with your message at no additional charge. Gift wrap is available for a small fee.
