Mother's Day Gifts: My Top Picks and My Favorite Gift of All

Mother's Day is this Sunday, May 11th, so I wanted to share some of my favorite gift ideas in case you need to drop a hint to someone special. My husband knows to check my Pinterest page for suggestions, or I’ll simply email him saying, "I love this!" Pretty subtle, right? (Not really!) But I have received some of the sweetest gifts from my boys. For my first Mother's Day, I got a Three Sisters Charm Necklace with Mario’s name, the second year, I received 3D heart art, and last year, I got Tom Binn safety pin earrings and a Jacquie Aiche Love Ear Cuff with a diamond (which my husband picked out on his own!). But... the best gift of all? My son Mario!

I Love this Mom's Gazette from Martha Stewart to honor mom by publishing your own Mother's Day newspaper. Your little one can give it to Mom with Breakfast in Bed or with her Morning Coffee. All you need to do is  print the newspaper clip art, fill in, and add a drawing or a photo.

This SuzyShoppe Mother's Day Gift - 3D Heart Art is the gift I received on my 2nd Mother's Day. This personalized Mother's Day Gift is a simple and elegant signed art piece made from red or ivory paper hearts to let you or your mom know she is loved and appreciated. 

This Anya Hindmarch I Love You Pouch is a leather pouch inscribed with a gold-tone "I Love You" on the front and a jewel detail.

I am obsessed with this J.Crew DOWNING TOTE IN HEART PERFORATED LEATHER right now because I love hearts, and as a mom I always need a tote to haul around all of mine and my families "stuff". And this tote is roomy and easy in soft leather that is perforated all over with tiny hearts. 

This Venessa Arizaga Momma Bear Bracelet is on my "I Love This" list to my husband this year :-). It has brass hardware with adjustable brown threadwork and super cute ceramic charms.

This Kate Spade New York Mom Said So Idiom Bangle is a rhodium-plated or 12k gold–plated metal bangle.  The outer engravings are: "go play outside," "sit up straight," "say thank you," "do your homework," "play nice," and "say please", and "mom said so" is engraved on the inside.

This Nora Kogan "Mama" ring is shown above in sterling silver with one diamond next to the engraving (my husband gave me this ring for Valentine's Day this year... and I absolutely LOVE IT :-). The ring is also available in 14k and 18k white gold.

This Three Sisters personalized birthstone necklace is a classic - the perfect mommy tag necklace! People are sure to stop you and ask you all about it. This necklace looks so cool layered with other pieces and can be worn at night or day. It's so versatile. Mother's Day orders needed to be placed by May 1st, but trust me this necklace is worth the wait!

This Sydney Evan Diamond and 14K Yellow Gold "Mom" Necklace is the creme de la creme "mom" necklace. Why spell mom's name out in lights when you can spell it out in diamonds? It is a dazzling necklace!
