Mother's Day Gifts
Brunch is booked and the card is signed, but the gift spot is still blank. Please do not panic-buy another candle, because Mom has enough of those to light a small cathedral. A Limoges Mother's Day box says you actually thought about her, because you did. It is hand-painted in France, hinged and arrives gift-boxed, so all you need to bring is your best smile and maybe a mimosa. It will sit on her dresser looking lovely long after the flowers have faded.
The designs here are wonderfully mom-shaped, mixing sentiment with a dash of whimsy. Look for keepsakes made for baby shoes and pacifiers, painted purses with antique flowers and hearts that say exactly what you mean. There are cheerful clowns holding bouquets, champagne buckets for the mom who loves a toast and even an iron and ironing board for anyone with a sense of humor about laundry day. A few pieces nod to faith and home, perfect for a mother who keeps the family close. Each hinged lid is just right for earrings, a lock of baby hair or a handwritten note.
Many mothers start collecting the moment their first Limoges box lands in their hands. It quickly becomes a tradition, with one from each kid and one for each new grandbaby. Group them by color on a mirrored vanity tray, scatter them among family photos on a bookshelf, or give the baby keepsakes their own curio shelf. They make lovely gifts for stepmoms, grandmothers and mothers-in-law too. There is always room for just one more, which is exactly what she will tell you next May.
