We’re Here to Help You Find the Perfect Gift for Mom

Every year at Padis, Mother’s Day – this year on May 12th – brings us special opportunities to be part of celebrating the important women in your lives. Making recommendations that’ll make her smile? That’s our happy place. 

We recognize and celebrate that there are all kinds of moms in our lives for Mother’s Day: working moms, young moms, single moms, stepmoms, like-a-moms, grandmas, great-grandmas, and the list continues. So for all of the different moms we know and love, here are our top recommendations for gifts to show your love this Mother’s Day:

Initial and Nameplate Jewelry

This Mother’s Day, express your heartfelt appreciation with a personalized necklace, a timeless token of affection that she’ll treasure forever. Show mom you love her with a message written in gold and diamonds! We love custom, personalized necklaces because they quickly become a staple in any woman’s jewelry collection AND they’re meaningful! We have a number of options to select from. Depending on how many names, birthstones, initials, or messages you want to engrave, choose either a nameplate or diamond initial necklace.

Whether adorned with birthstones representing each child or featuring a delicate pendant with a significant symbol, personalized necklaces offer a unique and thoughtful way to celebrate the incomparable bond between a mother and her children. With each glance at this personalized piece, she’ll be reminded of the unconditional love and appreciation that fills her life, making it a gift a truly unforgettable gift. 

Diamond Stud Earrings

For Mother’s Day, consider the timeless elegance of diamond earrings, whether lab-grown or natural. You can’t go wrong with the timeless, essential gift of diamond studs available in all metal colors! Lab-grown diamonds are crafted with technology to mirror the brilliance of their natural counterparts. These diamonds, grown under controlled conditions, boast the same exceptional quality and beauty as those formed deep within the earth. Alternatively, natural diamond earrings carry a unique allure, showcasing the marvels of nature’s craftsmanship over millennia. Both options radiate sophistication and love, making them perfect gifts to celebrate and cherish the remarkable mothers in our lives.

We recommend it to every spouse who asks us what they should get for their partner if they don’t have them already. Even if she already has a pair from us, Padis offers a Lifetime Trade Up so that they can grow with her and with your love as the years go by!

Preloved- Luxury Handbags

New to Padis are spectacular pre-owned luxury handbags including brands like Gucci, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and more. Not only is this a more affordable and sustainable way to shop for luxury handbags, but they’re also in great condition. We have a variety of colors, shapes, and sizes for whatever she’s had her eye on lately!

Thanks for reading our Mother’s Day gift guide from Padis Jewelry! 

This list is our inspiration for your gift-giving but by no means features all the amazing options of necklaces, earrings, rings, bracelets, and more we have in-store and online. Please note our online inventory doesn’t feature everything we carry so there are tons more gifts to discover in-store.

Come and visit us at our Walnut Creek, San Francisco or Napa locations! We would love to meet you and talk about the special women in your life so we can pair each of them with a great gift that makes them feel celebrated this Mother’s Day. Make sure to ask about special pricing, flexible payment plans as well as interest-free financing. 

From our family to yours, we wish your family a very happy Mother’s Day celebration!
