Yesterday I kicked off the Mother’s Day Gift Guide series with a look at top holiday gift ideas for women to eat.

Today we’re going sappy and sentimental.  And what is more sappy and sentimental than a Mother’s Day Gift that you can put your name on?  It’s like homemade but better because the materials won’t attract bugs.

Heart Bookmark by Things Remembered
$12.00

Yeah, $12.  My mom is one of those people who still reads real live actual books made of paper.  This is something thoughtful and pretty and useful that most readers don’t think to actually buy for themselves.

Trinity Bracelet by Things Remembered
On Sale now for $29.99

The space for engraving on this bracelet is limited, so don’t expect to list the names of you and your 13 brothers.  But, in my mother’s case, a simple “Nanna” would speak volumes.

Mother and Baby Water Globe by Things Remembered
$30.00

This seems like a gift best suited for a new mother.  Dear Husbands of New Mothers, this is an appropriately sentimental and keepsake quality gift if your wife has recently had a baby.  Better still with a touching quote or poem engraved on it.  You’re welcome.

Mom Coffee Mug by Things Remembered
$12.00

Honestly – I think this is tacky as hell.  Of course, it seems exactly like the kind of gift my son would get me and insist that I use every single day.  And I would, too – and love every minute of it.

But still?  Tacky.  Do not be encouraging the purchase of this.  Seriously.

Purse Charm by Things Remembered
$20.00

Possible inscriptions for this gift:

“I love you and do not resent your shopping habit.”

“You’ve earned every pair by virtue of enduring child birth.”

“Buy yourself something pretty.”

Or, you know, something heartfelt and meaningful.

Silver Photo Mouse Pad by Things Remembered
$25.00

Huh.  This is just waiting to be used as a murder weapon.

There’s something wrong with me, isn’t there?

Black Agate Bracelet by Things Remembered
On Sale – $19.99

I actually just love this bracelet.  Maybe I’ll get my own initials engraved on it just because it’s pretty and trendy and would work really well with today’s accessories fashions…

Secret Message Bracelet by Things Remembered
$29.99

I’m sorry – are we still talking about Mother’s Day Gifts?  Why do we not buy our mothers (and wives) stuff like this more often?  It’s sappy and sentimental and cute.

Family House Frame by Things Remembered
$9.99

Yeah, it’s less than $10.  Then you just have to take the time to put the pictures in it.

You know, it’s kind of tacky – but I know a few grandmothers that would actually love this.
