Selecting a jewelry for anyone is an art form that takes time and careful consideration. But when it comes to choosing a present for our moms — whether for Mother’s Day, the holidays, her birthday, or just because — we’ve got to up the ante (even if she insists that all she wants is a phone call).
Our approach to selecting the perfect gift for Mom is simple and fun but will get to the heart of her personal vibe. The big question we must ask ourselves before diving into gift-giving mode is “ who is she really?” We know her as the first lady in our lives, but how does she see herself? How do others see her? Is she a zen-mama, a boss-lady, a Glam-mama or a mother of minimalism?
