With Mother’s Day three days away, it’s excellent timing to start brainstorming a gift you may want to give to your mother and mother-in-law on your wedding day. While this isn’t absolutely necessary, it’s always nice to enjoy a moment with this special woman in your life. If you’re having a pre-wedding event like a rehearsal dinner or Shabbat dinner, you can give your gift then so that it’s one less thing to remember to bring and do on the big day. While moms love practical gifts like movie theater tickets, spa treatments, and certificates to their favorite stores, a more sentimental gift seems appropriate for a wedding day-related token of love. We’re not suggesting you string the contents of a box of Fruit Loops or macaroni noodles to make a homemade necklace (plus, doesn’t she still have the edible baubles from the 1980s kindergarten couture fashion line?), but we are suggesting you dive into that special place in your heart beyond the nearest Target and far from the local department store and gift something unique to a unique lady who considers you her very best gift.

This is a great gift box that’s thematically decorated for your wedding day. Mom can put tokens from the day in this box after it’s all over to preserve the memory of such things like her escort card, mini bouquet, or a ceremony program.

Let’s face it: There will be tears. They’ll be tears of happiness, but mom is totally going to lose it at some point. Prepare her — and her runny nose — for her emotional and happy day with a beautiful and personalized handkerchief that has your wedding in mind. It beats any Kleenex because it’s embroidered with a sweet message and you can add your name and date. Even if it’s never used again, it’s a touching momento to have and to hold and to blow.

Mom could totally wear this beautiful necklace on the day of the wedding and for formal occasions afterward. It’s timeless and beautifully designed. The several circles symbolize eternity and the center pearl represents a strong, maternal stone. This would make a lovely gift for any mother on her daughter’s wedding day.
