ComeOn Clothing

With Mother’s Day just around the corner, I have a lot of shopping that I need to start doing. I still buy presents for my own mother, even though she is the woman who has everything, and I also shop for my aunt. On top of that, I have my own wife to shop for, and with all five of our children, essentially I will need to come up with six presents, myself included, of course, for all three women. That can be a daunting and expensive task, so I need to be able to find things that are unique and affordable.

I am lucky in that my older children can be trusted to make the cards for everyone, and that will save a lot of money, but I still need to come up with the presents. All three of these ladies have very different tastes. My mother loves jewelry. Rings, necklaces, and bracelets are all things that she enjoys. My aunt, on the other hand, likes nicknacks, with an emphasis on anything with a butterfly motif. My wife is more of a tomboy, and does not wear a lot of jewelry or want a lot of nicknacks. Just the same, I know that she has wanted something to commemorate each of her children, and while looking online, I think I found just the right thing.

For my wife, I will get a simple ring, with the birthstones of each of our children encrusted on the surface. It is simple enough that she will love it, and meaningful enough that she will always cherish it.

For my mother, I plan to buy a ladder necklace that has a plate for all of the names of her grandchildren. That will include my five and the two that my sister have, and while that will make for a long ladder, I think she will really enjoy it and enjoy wearing it when she wants to show off her posterity to her friends.

For my aunt, I think I will get a charm bracelet with a butterfly charm for each of her grandchildren. She has three of her own, and I think she will really like the fusion of ideas between her favorite motif and her favorite people. My children will make all of the cards, I will order the rest online, and everything will be ready well in advance of Mother’s Day.
