How to Choose a Meaningful Mother’s Day Gift

How do you honor that person that has done “everything” for you your whole life? It wasn’t until I had my own children that I realized the amount of love, commitment and patience it takes to be a mom. The constant attention, encouragement and love that my mom (and all mothers) give their kids on a daily basis is incredible… and inspiring.

My mom has always given “everything” she had to me. But when makes her extra special is how to has also taken on that “mother” role for someone she isn’t even related to!

When my mom was pregnant with me, she was working as a high school teacher. One of her students, Becky, caught her attention. While Becky was extremely bright and hardworking, she came from a family that had fallen on tough times. Her own mom wasn’t able to care for her anymore, leaving Becky without stability and frankly facing a scary situation.

My mom was young and pregnant but when she saw when was happening, she knew she had to help. So along with my Dad, she became a foster parent and Becky came to live with them. With my mom behind her, Becky went on to graduate from high school with honors, then go to college, meet her husband and start her own family.

When it comes to choosing a Mother’s Day gift for my mom, I wanted to honor her for all the love and “mothering” she’s given me, but also thank her for showing me you don’t have to be connected by genetics to be a “mom” to someone who needs one! That’s why this sterling silver Tree of Life Necklace from Hallmark Jewelry is the perfect gift.

This stunning piece of jewelry is like the love of a mother. The trunk of the tree symbolizes support, while the branches show all the ways a mother’s love reaches. The sparkling cubic zirconia-studded leaves are reminiscent of the continual new ways a mother’s love grows. The pendant comes on a lovely 18″ cable chain with spring-ring clasp. It also comes ready for gift giving in a Hallmark box with a cloth jewelry pouch and an enclosure card reading “Love begins with family.”

My mom was thrilled to get her gorgeous Tree of Life Necklace from Hallmark Jewelry! She says will always treasure this iconic jewelry and what it stands for.
