6 Reasons Your Mom Will Wear This Gift — Betty Harrison
6 Reasons Your Mom Will Actually Wear This Christmas Gift
(Written by a grandmother with a whole drawer full of the other kind.)
Mom of three, grandma of five
I'm going to tell you something your mom won't.
That lovely bath set from two Christmases ago? Still in the cellophane. The candles? In the drawer. The scarf? Tag still on. I said "oh, how lovely" to every single one, and I meant the thought. But they went straight into what my husband calls "the drawer of good intentions."
Moms don't want more things. We want something that feels like it was chosen for us. Here's the one gift I've seen women my age actually wear every day.
It won't end up in the drawer
Jewelry she can wear every day doesn't get put away. A warm amber bracelet goes on in the morning with her coffee and stays on. That's the whole point of a gift, isn't it? That it gets used.
It's warm, not cold
Most of us stop wearing metal bracelets in winter because they feel like ice. Amber warms to your skin in a minute. Your mom will notice that the very first morning.
There's one for every kind of mom
Classic, bold, a little bit of sparkle, or something small for the ears. These are the pieces I'd pick:
Maud Cherry Amber Bracelet$54.99
Rest Raw Amber Earrings$39.99
Tide Honey Amber Bracelet$47.99
Saffronia Blue Amber Ring$37.99No clasp for her to fight with
If your mom's fingers aren't what they used to be, this matters more than you think. The bracelets slip over the hand. She can put it on herself, without asking anyone.
It's a gift that lasts lifetimes
Amber is fossilized tree resin, millions of years old. It doesn't tarnish and it doesn't go out of style. One day she'll hand it to her granddaughter, and that's a lovely thing to give someone.
She'll think of you every time she looks at her wrist
I wear mine every day. And every time I glance down, I think of the person who gave it to me. A bath set can't do that.
