Gift No. 30: Waxing Poetic jewelry

12/28/11 10:40

For the past few weeks, we've brought you 29 gift ideas for the littler ones in your life. We've suggested technological toys, building blocks and even flying fish. And now, dear moms, we've got something special just for you. So bookmark this page!

Whether you're a mom-to-be or a mother of three, just thinking of having kids or a loving grandmother to many, all women can appreciate unique jewelry. Waxing Poetic is customizable keepsake jewelry made by Balinese crafters. One look, and we're pretty sure you're going to love what you see.

The mom in me is drawing me to the "Bundled by Love Nest Charm," made specifically for "mama birds." The sterling silver nests hold wee and darling eggs (in the form of hearts), which represent your children or any other loved ones. But the rings, "endless loops of love and meaning," as they describe them, are also très chic. Charmed by necklaces or bracelet collections? Then you must seek out their fabulous selection of both, ones you'll certainly build upon.

View their entire collection online at www.waxingpoetic.com or visit The Mole Hole, Cubbyhole, City Art Works of Blis to fall in love in person.
