As we grow older, our mothers become more and more precious to us. Many of us are blessed to have more than one mother in our lives: the mother who raised us, a woman who has been like a mother to us, a dear aunt or grandmother, or a friend who has become a mother herself. In this Show and Tell Me, we are showcasing a handful of sites that provide lovely gifts for the mothers in our lives.
jewelry: necklaces, pendants, earrings and jewelry sets at fantastic prices. Choose from white pearls, black pearls, Akoya, Tahitian, South Sea or Freshwater pearls. The site has a handy tutorial on types of pearls. We found pearl earrings and bracelets for under $50. If you are so inclined, we also saw some necklaces for over $25,000. One of the nice features of the site is that the piece you see in the photo is the actual piece you are buying.

Mommy Tags sells a sweet (but not cloying) line of personalized necklaces, reminiscent of dog tags. The tags are solid silver, recycled from film. The | sets come with a large "Mommy" tag, in either pure silver or with a 22k gold heart layered onto the tag. Add "Baby" tags, each personalized with the name and birthdate of the child. If you want to know how fashionable this gift is, you can check out the celebrities sporting Mommy Tags.

Spa Finder is a great way to pamper a mom. Alex gave her mother a massage and pedicure as a gift once, but her mom | really wasn't too excited about it. Much better is the Spa Finder Gift Certificate, which will enable the recipient to choose her own indulgence at the spa of her preference. Gift certificates begun at $50, and do not expire when you buy them online. Spa Finder provides a handy pricing guide to give you an idea what treatments cost. The certificates are accepted at many spas, indicated on the site by a GC next to the spa name. You can send an eCard announcing the imminent arrival of the certificate.
Happy and stress-free Mother's Day gifting this year, from
Your Girlfriends who are grateful for all the mothers in their lives,
Terri, Suzanne and Alex |
