make it special for mom: jewelry

Mother's Day is coming May 8th--are you ready? Are you going to give your mother the sweet, thoughtful gift she deserves...or are you going to give her the same old tired presents you've been giving her since you were a kid? Your mother loves you no matter how lame your presents are, but if you really want to wow her this Mother's Day, make these standard Mom gifts extra special with our Mom-approved advice! We talk about jewelry a lot here on our blog (what can I say? Write what you love) and jewelry has long been a traditional Mother's Day gift. We have a wide range of styles here at The Afternoon and you'll be sure to find something beautiful to show your mom you care. But if you want to go above and beyond, there is no more special jewelry than that which comes from the Priceless Prints kit. The kit allows you to take the fingerprints of a loved one to send to the artist, who produces a .999 fine silver fingerprint pendant, imprinted with initials of your choosing on the reverse. These are not reproductions, but the actual fingerprint that is made at the time of imprinting into the clay - no two are ever alike. This is a great gift for new moms to capture the preciously tiny fingerprints of their newborns; but if you're a bit older (and not so tiny), you can buy it for your own mom, too! She can use your fingerprint or you can use hers...the Priceless Prints are a beautiful reminder of loved ones. Make an investment and get her one for all your siblings, or just get her one for you. You know you're her favorite...or at least, you will be, after giving her a Priceless Print!
