Surprise Mom This Mother’s Day!

April 5, 2016 Leave a Comment

-POP (1)

 

Mother’s Day is coming up next month, and this holiday is a great time to show Mom how special she is. Here are a few ideas for celebrating Mom.

Breakfast in bed- Classic for Mother’s Day, treat your mom (or wife with your kids’ help) to a breakfast fit for a queen. Choose her favorite (pancakes, eggs, waffles, etc.) and serve with fruit, coffee and maybe even a mimosa! Deliver on a tray with flowers and a card to make her day.

Photo gift- Any Mom would adore a picture of her family! Make a photo collage, picture puzzle, or frame a favorite shot. Another special idea is creating a custom calendar, write down memories and special events, quotes.

Favorite things- Treat your Mom to her favorite things for the day. A special Starbucks drink, favorite candy, favorite flowers, the options are endless.

Let her relax- Pamper Mom with a spa day, massage, pedicure, manicure, facial or at home bubble bath.  Let her renew and unwind with some magazines or a new book, a drink and some self care.

She sparkle’s- Show Mom how much you love her with a personal jewelry gift. Great ideas are jewelry that has her kids names, initials or birthstones, jewelry with her birthstone or a classic piece that she can dress up or dress down.

 

Do you want to gift Mom special jewelry this year? Come on in to Connections and we can help you find something uniquely perfect for your Mom!

Keeping your jewelry shiny is definitely something that many strive for. Not only will it look better, but taking care of your pieces can increase their worth for the future. Here are some tips for caring for your jewelry at home. Please note, these are general cleaning instructions but use them at your own digression. If you have questions about cleaning jewelry or how to care for a particular piece, please ask us for assistance.

What you will need:

  • Soft toothbrush
  • Mild dish soap, detergent or shampoo (see instructions)
  • Soft cloth
  • Makeup brush

cleaning jewelry

Gold

Lotions and everyday dirt can clog up the prongs of rings and chains. For your gold jewelry, pour a few drops of mild dish soap into a small bowl of seltzer water or club soda. Soak your jewelry for about 5 minutes and then clean with a soft toothbrush. Rinse off with water then dry with a soft cloth.

Silver

Mix a few drops of mild dish soak with warm water. Rub the jewelry then rinse and buff with a soft cloth.

Gems

Soak your diamond ring in solution of mild liquid detergent and warm water. Use a soft toothbrush to remove dirt.

Pearls

Pearls can easily lose their gleam. Dip a small makeup brush into a mixture of water and shampoo and go over each pearl. Rinse with a damp, soft cloth. Lay flat to dry.
