Let's Talk Mother's Day Gifts

In every wedding guestbook, I always write the same thing. "Dear [groom's name], When in doubt, buy her jewelry." People laugh when they see it, but I consider it a public service announcement. When it comes to the ladies in your life, there's no need to give gift-giving much thought. If it blings, it wins. Keep it simple.

Over the next week or so the internets are going to offer you lots of ideas for Mother's Day gifts: books, tote bags, pajamas, bedding, even appliances. The choices are plentiful, but ultimately unnecessary. Moms are women, and women like shiny things. It is one of the few absolutes in life. Jewelry always fits and there is both a sentimental and material value to it. You cannot go wrong.

Below are some suggestions that won't break the bank. And even if they do, what of it? This woman gave you life.

Get Your Bling On

We all like shiny things, and this segment about Harry Winston as jeweler to the stars has some serious pieces in it.

Diamond Rings And Other Bling

Earlier today I mentioned that while I am not motivated by food, many other things get me just as jazzed. Music is obvious, and jewelry is another big one. Why spend $300 on dinner when you can get yourself a bauble from Baccarat? (I actually own that piece, among others.)

It was a joy and a privilege to be able to put together a collection of amazing engagement rings for SheFinds. It's nice that we live in a time when there are so many options, from platinum to rose gold to colored stones.

If you ever wondered what the inside of my head looks like, this slideshow is pretty much it. I picked out all but two of these rings.
