Handmade Luxury: Mother's Day Gifts

Psst, pencil it in your calendar and etch it into memory: Mother's Day is Sunday, May 13, 2012.

Perhaps, in years past, Mother's Day has slipped your mind, and you've ended up buying last minute delivery of overpriced flowers of questionable quality. This year, think ahead and pick out a handmade gift that will wow Mom. She'll appreciate the difference.

Here is a selection of artisan-crafted gifts, little luxuries made especially for Mother.


Dew Post Earrings
Were you a difficult child? Did you put poor Mother through the wringer of worry more times than necessary? Reward her for years of blood, sweat, and tears with these hammered sterling silver earrings by My Sunset Road


Hive Cuff
Even though her little bees are busy working the fields on their own, the Big Mama-bee keeps the home-hive humming. Give the queen bee of your family this gorgeous metal-worked bracelet by DesignERica to let her know where ever she is--is home.



Belgian Linen Pillow
Mom has bolstered you with warmth and comfort since you were a wee thing. Now you can return the favor with this luxurious linen pillow by Namoo.


Nest Necklace
Note to Dad. Although every young mother loves her progeny's crayon-colored cards and preschool pinch pots, a special treasure on Mother's Day is always a happy surprise. The perfect gift for the mother of small children, this charming silver necklace by Lisa Hopkins honors her love and care tending the nest.


Mini Spout Vase
Just the right size for posies picked by tiny hands. this dear ceramic vase by Whitney Smith makes a lovely Mother's day gift. Even without flowers, it's a sweet reminder of field daisies, buttercups, primroses, violets--the messy bouquets of childhood.
