Mother's Day

Bella and I were discussing ideas over freshly brewed pressed coffee and we realized something, Mother's Day is NEXT WEEK! Eek! Because our mother is in Minnesota and we are in New York we have to get our scheming together in advance to make sure that Mom feels appreciated, loved and adored on the correct day. So what do you get for the mom that has everything...? We've put together some of our faves for moms of all ages let us know what you're doing for mother's day!

Saipua is a wonderful flower/soap/candle shop located on Van Brunt Street in Red Hook Brooklyn. We love their small shop and all of the beautiful treasures you can find!Here are a few...


Mother's Day is for mother's of ALL ages from the young to the old and we feel strongly that when Mama feels good so does everyone! We found these pieces at Victoria's Secret which is a store house for fun, flirty gifts...


Let's not forget why we celebrate Mother's Day! Because Mother's have children! And children have names... and mother's like the names of their children! Et-voila! Get all of the initials together and put together a beautiful neckalace for Mom with the intials of all of her children! Perfect! Check out this Etsy seller for wonderful one of a kinds...

or you can even go with full names...


Here's another great Etsy seller with really beautiful pottery from the small to the large that are sure Mom pleasers...



Of course there's always the classic, Flowers! For those lucky enough to live in New York, Brooklyn's very own Mimulo has elegent arranagements for all budgets, definitely check them out.


You could always put together your own arrangement from your local farmer's market. You could also give thanks to Mom with the gift that keeps on giving, potted plants. We love fresh herbs in the kitchen from the farmer's market which are also available at most hardware stores and Home Depot's in your area! Here's a link to New York farmer's markets locations and hours, enjoy!

There's always the KikiBella option. Contact us if you'd like to send Mom something special and yummy :).

Purim Breakdown

Hi Everyone!


We had a fantastic Purim filled with all sorts of yummy treats and delectable desserts. We were kept very busy with over 40 orders that went as far as California and as close as Brooklyn, NY. We even had to turn some orders away because we got so many last minute requests! Thank you to everyone who ordered from KikiBella!! We want to give a special shout out to Brooklyn baker Betsy of ninecakes Betsy really helped us out with some boxes (our box people messed up a little). She has a wonderful site of beautifully artisan cakes, though not kosher, her site is some serious eye candy. Thanks again Betsy!

We have included pictures of some of the mishloach manot that went out this year. We got some great feedback and we would love to know what you think too, drop us an e-mail or comment on a photo. KikiBella is also working on a website so stay tuned... Get in touch with us if you have any questions about KikiBella, KikiandBella@gmail.com
