By Terry Stanfield

Choosing the right gifts for Mom can be a difficult task for even the most devoted child. With literally thousands of new products flooding the market each holiday season it can be hard to find just the right present for Mom. Narrowing down your choices to six great gifts will make things much easier for you and your wallet.

When considering presents for a Mother it is important to not get caught up in the latest trends. Traditional gifts should always be considered and one of the most traditional gifts for a Mother is jewelry. Jewelry comes in many different forms making it easy to find just the right style or design for the most special woman in your life. It is also possible to customize jewelry in such a way that will increase the value and thoughtfulness of your present.

Birthstone jewelry is perfect for holidays, special occasions, and, never forget, birthdays. Giving a gift that includes the birthstone of your Mother shows that you remember that important date and took the time to find the correct birthstone.

Watches are another piece of jewelry that many people overlook when considering gifts for Mom. It is easy to forget that useful watches can make enjoyable gifts that will provide adornment while serving a needed purpose.

Traditional, lovely, and still popular, lockets are a wonderful special gift for Mom any time of the year. Placing a picture of a husband, child, or special friend inside of the locket will add a personal touch that is always appreciated.

New mothers often enjoy jewelry with a Mother and child theme. A necklace or pendent with an image of a mother holding a child is considered to be a thoughtful, touching, gift.

Rings can be a romantic mother's gift that is the perfect holiday, or Mother's Day, gift for a woman from a husband. Giving a ring set with a birthstone of favorite stone will add a personal touch to a special gift.

Engraving can also add a personal touch to any piece of jewelry given to a Mother. Adding a phrase of love, devotion, or even a personal joke will show Mom how much you care along with how much thought went into choosing and preparing the present.

Finding the right gifts for Mom does not have to be a difficult process. Giving a beautiful piece of jewelry to a beloved Mother, whether it is a ring or a watch, will show how much you really care. If you have not had a hard time choosing the right jewelry for the Mother in your life, consider adding an engraving for the right finishing touch. - 16651
