I come from a long line of tea drinkers, my mother included. It's her one real indulgence, and this Mother's Day, I plan to give her this flowering tea set.

Myself, as a mother, I would love to get a gift like this for Mother's Day! It's an indulgence, for sure, and who among us moms doesn't want a little of that? Each cute little fortune cookie shaped fizzie contains lavender essential oils, perfect for a soothing bath, and when the fizzing stops, a tiny laminated fortune floats to the top of the bathwater. Well, it IS a fortune cookie!
