While moms deserve to be honored all year round, Mother’s Day is one of the best times to show her just how much she is loved and appreciated.
Want to give her something new or unique this year? Here’s a mix of thoughtful, sentimental and practical gift ideas.
Get Mom a different kind of statement piece—a dainty necklace that’s morse-coded with her name or initials, a word, a phrase, or your personalized message.
Coatt uses slender fourteen-karat gold or gold-fill “dots” and “dashes” strung on a colored, twisted silk cord. This pairing makes for a feminine yet sleek piece that can delicately accent all kinds of outfits.

Surprise her with a personalized bamboo cutting board. This can be engraved with your choice of text, and it could be something as simple as a name or as intricate as a recipe.
Say Mom has a stack of typewritten recipe cards or likes to scribble recipes in a small notebook. All you need to do is send a scanned copy of the recipe to 3D Carving, and this will be laser engraved as is on the cutting board.
