There are two really special holidays for first time moms: her first Mother’s Day and her first Christmas as a mother. Husbands can make these holidays extra special by choosing jewelry gifts that will serve as a reminder of her very first Christmas as a new mom.
Mother and Child Necklaces
In recent years, mother and child necklaces, charms and pendants have become very popular. There are many styles of necklaces that feature a mother and her child. These styles suit all different tastes and budgets as they are available in gold or silver and with or without gemstones or diamonds.
The basic idea is that the necklace depicts a mother and baby connected to one another. Some mother and child necklaces will show a mother holding the baby, like the 14K White Gold Mother and Child® Charm by Kay Jewelers. These necklaces are available in white gold, yellow gold or a combination of both and with or without diamonds. Prices start at $159.
Other necklaces are a more stylized heart shape, like the James Avery Mother’s Love Charm. This style of necklace is more subtle, but conveys the same sentiment of a mother’s love. James Avery’s Mothers Love Charm starts at $31 for sterling silver without a chain.
Lockets as Gifts for New Moms
Lockets are traditional new mom gifts. These are available in a variety of styles and prices as well. Lockets can be engraved for a personalized gift and can include the child’s name and birthday or another sentiment. A locket is a nice gift for a working mom because she can carry a picture of her baby close to her heart all day long.
Things Remembered is one retailer that specializes in engraving and personalizing jewelry gifts. This company has many styles of lockets available for first time moms or moms of multiple children. For example, the Mother of Pearl Heart Locket is $55 and makes a nice gift for a new mom while the Etched Four Photo Locket sells for $65 and is great for moms with more than one child. Both are sterling silver.
Birthstone Rings and Family Necklaces
Birthstone rings and family necklaces can be a great gift for a new mother, especially if the couple has plans to continue growing their family. Birthstone rings can be worn by mom and passed on to her daughter for a Sweet Sixteen gift. They can make lovely family heirlooms and be in any style or size from simple to more elaborate.
Family necklaces are a good choice for a couple who plans on having more children because a new charm can be added for each additional child. There are many different options available to create a personalized family necklace. Charms can be gold or silver, and can be in the shape of a boy or girl’s head, a round tag, or a boy or girl's shoe. Each item can be engraved with the child’s name and birthday. Birthstone baby shoe charms or booties combine the shoe charm and the child’s birthstone.
A husband can make his wife's first Christmas as a new mom a special one by choosing jewelry gifts for her. Christmas gifts for first-time moms include mother and child necklaces, lockets, birthstone rings and family necklaces. Sterling silver items are the most affordable, but jewelry gifts are available in gold and with or without gemstones and diamonds.
