The best shop small gifts for your mom, mother-in-law, or friend  is HERE!

Mothers have the most essential and demanding job when you stop and think about it. A lifetime of love and commitment to a child’s well-being is a monumental undertaking:  recognize this often, and especially on Mother’s Day.

Take the time to give a thoughtful gift.  Add to the meaning of Mother’s day by celebrating and supporting  women entrepreneurs. 

Buy gifts from family owned businesses founded by Women.

Best Shop Small gifts include these !

The best gifts are well-considered. They are selected with care and made to last. The best shop small gift guide I share today, consists of gifts from three small family businesses,  founded by women.

One such company is KC Signatures. If you have been reading my blog for a while you know this company is a favorite of mine. Nina is a visionary, a creative and dynamic woman who started her family owned business in 2005 .  Nina is  inspired by her extensive foreign travels and the skill set of each specific locale. Passionate about distinctive gifts, Nina  concentrates on artisan crafted textiles, gorgeous beach tunics and jewelry that is a cut above. She is detail oriented and it shows. Her daughter and husband join her in this splendid venture.

Gift idea no.1  is a sweet” Love” necklace in script that says it all. In precious gold over sterling this pieces is $72.00

Gift Idea No.2 is from Jemily.com,  a small but impeccably curated collection of gorgeous jewels set artfully in eighteen carat gold.
 
Swooning over a favorite collection of mine, which  captures refracted light in varied shimmering hues, boasting hand-selected gems and 18K gold,  inviting the eye to follow and delight in the delicate arc of this design aesthetic . The piece below is rare, and can be customized to be one of a kind. Jemily’s designs are worn internationally,  by women-in-the-know who value the rarity of their jewelry. A polished teardrop cabochon is a unique rutilated tourmaline.

Black.co.uk is another family owned business that carries the loveliest gifts for any woman in your life. Founded by Paula Reeves, this company was created after an illness compromised her notable career as a TV journalist  and marketing consultant. BLACK is an acronym for BLACK. LUXURY. ACCESSORIES.  CRAFTED. & KEENLY PRICED. The selection criterion is based on lasting luxury and not fashion that fades. Hmm. Sounds like a familiar credo! This company, too champions the rare and artisanal,   and boasts a great many,”  best shop small gifts.”

 Below from Black.co.uk, AT $93.91 USD,  gift N0.3 is the Crane Bird print Silk Scarf

Animal Print Italian Luxury Double Canopy Umbrella is the next shop small gift idea. PRICED AT $215.03 , gift No.4 is beyond chic!

SPLENDID SHELTER FROM THE STORMS OF LIFE. WHO COULD ASK FOR MORE!

OF COURSE, I  INCLUDE THE AFFORDABLE, TOO,  IN BEST SHOP SMALL GIFTS – AS SUGGESTIONS FOR YOUR MOM AND YOUR WALLET! THIS IMITATION PEARL AND CRYSTAL PENDANT IS $18.00,  FROM KC SIGNATURES.COM. GORGEOUS, NO? YES!

STUNNING BAROQUE PEARLS ADD LUSTER TO ANY OUTFIT.  THIS STRING IS $380 AND WOULD MAKE AN ELEGANT GIFT.

Above the pink leather earrings sport the freshest color of the season and are lightweight in this whip-stitched leather . The silk scarf is reversible from lavender to purple and the saturated colors of this luxurious layer is another wonderful gift idea.  Earrings are $29.99 and the scarf is $99.00.

Last, but not least – this selection from my gift guide is sure to please. While these earrings are costume, they are designed in rich colors, juxtaposed unexpectedly to make one fabulous pair of statement  earrings. Priced at $135.00 these would be mine if only I could wear pierced earrings!

So readers,  what are you thinking about giving your special mom, or yourself, if you are a mom. YES, I have done that! I hope you also value the ethos of the shop small movement and will consider this as you buy make your choice. Choose well for your  cherished MOM, Mother -in- law or friend who is a mother, or hoping to be. More shopping tips are here. 

What would you include in a guide for Best Shop Small Gifts for Mother’s Day?  Remember, sometimes just a home made card is sweet gesture, and an offer to do an errand is a great gift as well.  Brunch out is a good idea, too. A card in lieu of a gift is very much appreciated as any mom can tell you.  Any gift or gesture that  demonstrates sincere and grateful sentiment is perfect.

 My favorite gift is  a piece of pottery that my daughter made for me at camp. A blue heart , simply stating MOM. How I treasure it!

Tell me, what is on your wish list? Happy Monday, dear readers!
