Kelly's Klicks: Mother's Day Gifts 2005

Q. Mother's Day seems so early this year and, once again, I have no idea what to get my Mom. Do you have any fun, unique gift ideas?

A. Remember the days when we would make our Moms gifts and she would love them simply because they were made by our own lil hands? Well, those days may be but a distant memory, but it doesn't mean that Mom still wouldn't love something unique and handmade (just maybe not by you -- no offense, but your glue stick and felt creations may have had their day in the sun!). Check out the following great gifts, all handmade by fab designers and artists, that just might make Mom smile as much as she did when you were in kindergarten!

Customized Frames and Albums
Find a fave photo (or a handful) of you and Mom together and frame it in a beautiful personalized Rissy Lyn frame. Handmade in Manhattan by designer Marissa Klein, the cherry print and strawberry print frames ($28-$88) and new customized photo albums are a dose of delicious for spring and have a wonderful shabby chic aesthetic. Find Mom a perfect frame or album at rissylyn.com.

Gorgeous Jewels
I've yet to meet a woman who doesn't like getting jewelry, present company included. And I've yet to find anyone who doesn't love the delicate yet bold creations by Brooklyn-based designer Rena Tom. The spring 2005 From the Garden collection is full of forward-thinking but timeless pieces. One fave? The Chime Necklace, made of brightly glowing green fluorite drops that dangle like wind chimes from 14K gold-filled chain ($55). The Dragonfly Earrings, crafted with faceted amethyst stones that are twisted on 14K gold-filled wire, and combined with a dangle of tiny seed pearls, are sure to be a hit too ($70). Check out the surprisingly affordable collection at renatom.com.

Handbag Heaven
I'm fairly certain it's a proven medical fact that a woman can never have too many handbags. Surprise Mom with a one-of-a-kind or limited-edition creation by New Jersey-based designer Raquel Caruso of Sew Pretty. Whipping up wow-worthy clutches and totes from vintage fabric, Mom's sure to appreciate the nod to old and new (prices range from $40-$98). Scope out all the handmade pretties at sewprettyonline.com.

Special Stationery
Mom's super special and desrves stationery that's just as special. Treat her to her very own personlized floral stationaey or spoil her with a subscription to the Stationery of the Month Club. You know she'll flip for anything that encourages you and her to correspond more often! Peruse tons of pretty options at chelseapaper.com.

Plus, use this link and enter code KAX4D5 at checkout and receive $8 off $25 of fab floral stationery gifts for Mother's Day! Expires 5-9-05.

Or, use this link and enter in code KHH8D5 and receive $10 off $50! Expires 5-9-05.
