Gift ideas for middle-aged moms

So, are we saying these gifts are only for middle-aged moms? No, of course not, but some of them are particularly good for women of a certain age and you are about to discover why.

We´ve divided our picks into the type of mom you may be considering buying a gift for.

We think the absolute best gift you can give a mother is time and attention, but a little material something doesn´t hurt either, especially if she is not the kind to buy herself what she deserves.

We hope you enjoy our gift suggestions!

This is a dream come true for the mom that wants to capture her children’s or grandchildren’s -or her own- special moments, from a completely different angle.

It is very small in size, and comes with several mounts, from a suction mount to a head mount. It wirelessly connects to your smartphone for video edition. Pretty cool.

FOR THE ROMANTIC & STYLISH MOM

Isabelle Grace Jewelry

We’ve long been fans of Isabelle Grace jewelry, that has a growing collection of effortless, elegant and timeless pieces. We especially love the latest collection of pendants and necklaces for moms.

Our personal favorite is the Bloom pendant with the lotus flower, which has “you make me bloom” inscribed in the back. A dainty and beautiful gift.

You can also get her a gift card so that she can enjoy the process of browsing and choosing her piece herself. Either way you can’t go wrong.

Nelle & Lizzy customizable jewelry

This is another of our favorite lines of jewelry, ever since they opened shop quite a few years ago.

Our personal favorites are the charm bracelets which you can design yourself and the name rings you can engrave.

These are durable (we’ve had our ring for nearly ten years and it’s going strong), and beautiful.

They keep adding more possibilities to their line of beautiful silver jewelry.

Silpada jewelry

We have a soft spot for this line of jewelry and accessories founded by two moms, that has a lot of different price points.

These are purchased through a representative that will give you personalized attention.

You can organize a party to receive free hostess jewelry, or simply order online your favorite piece for mom, or for you.

They are always updating their collections and have flash sales that you can find about by signing up to their newsletter.

Viva Fifty limited edition jewelry

These are limited editions of no more than 50 pieces each. They are designed exclusively for Viva Fifty™.

You may choose from the polished silver pendants handmade in Australia by midlife designer Andrea Isaac, that are dainty and small (30 mm in diameter), or the chunky hammered steel hearts that are also handmade, but in Haiti by artisan Jean Exuvara Jolimeau. He lives and works in a neighborhood of Croix des Bouquets called Noaille.

I have ties to Haiti and it is my pleasure to be able to showcase their one of a kind artisanship.
