costume jewelry up to date so getting us something we can wear every day is ideal.
Things Remembered has a lot of stylish necklaces and bracelets that can easily be turned into a great Mother’s Day gift that any mom would love. Try a necklace with the birthstone and initials of each of her children’s names on them or a charm bracelet with a different charm for each special child in her life. These fashionable, yet sentimental gifts are sure to be a hit!
Photoshoot
As a mom, I take tons of pictures and videos of my kid and family. It’s more than second nature to me since my phone/camera is always nearby. The only issue is that I’m not in very many of these pictures. There are many reasons for this. For whatever reason my husband isn’t as obsessed with capturing every second of our lives as I am, (how dare he?) so usually he ends up in the pictures and I can’t say “Wait, get one with me!” before the moment passes.
Either that or the fact that after getting all of my motherly duties done, I usually look like a train wreck. Any picture evidence of this is required to be promptly destroyed. All of these reasons and many more make a scheduled photoshoot a really great idea for the trendy mom in your life.
Whether it’s at a department store photography studio or with a professional photographer, let the mom choose to take pictures alone or alongside her children. These can be super coordinated, with matching outfits or relaxed candid photos at home or at the local park. This gift of memories will be cherished for years to come.

Amazon Prime Membership
On the off chance that you know someone who isn’t an Amazon Prime-aholic, this membership would be an excellent idea. There are so many benefits to having this membership that anyone will love receiving this as a gift. After paying once a year you have access to free 2-day shipping, which alone is a godsend, but you also get access to Prime Video, Prime Music, and many other Amazon exclusives.
The best part of this is that unlike with gifting other memberships or subscription services, you only pay once and you’re done. You don’t have to deal with your card being charged monthly or remembering to cancel it after a certain amount of time. The two-day, sometimes 1-day shipping is really great for moms and women on the go. Often times we can’t make it to the store to pick up those random items we need. Amazon makes it easy by dropping them right at your door in a short amount of time. They even offer a diaper subscription service so you never forget to pick up a box!
Any of these gifts would be perfect for your wife, mother of your children, your mom or any of the other moms you are celebrating this May. Even if you decide to go with an option that isn’t on this list, remember to keep your eye out for new, trendy items that are useful and show that you are paying attention to her wants and needs.
