It's not hard to come up with the right Mothers Day gifts, and there is no shortage of those in the media and representing retail outlets who'll tell you what you should get. A box of chocolates and a bouquet of flowers is the standard fallback, but if your Mom collects all the latest personal tech devices and lives on the Internet, perhaps something more along the lines of personalized jewelry for the geeky mom is in order.
There are all kinds of geeks of course - not just the computer type, though they are the most numerous. A better word for "geek" however might be "aficionado," which is a Spanish word for "fan." This opens up the definition to many other interests, including music, art, literature and even sports. Let's look at a few different options and see what comes up.
Here is an example:the Mom who really likes different type fonts might appreciate a necklace with her name or initials engraved in one of her favorites. Conversely, if a "gag" gift for laugh's sake is in order, think about something in one of her least favorite fonts (Comic Sans is in real disrepute - and such a gift might wind up getting you a headlock and a noogie). There are always many beautiful and stylish fonts from which to choose, however.
Another big hit with the nerd crowd are the tiny devices that can be made part of a piece of wearable jewelry. Because of the extreme miniaturization of today's cyber-technology, devices with remarkable power can be packed into very small items, such as flash drives and other storage devices. These devices, fully compatible with any computer's USB slot, can be integrated with watches, pendants, bracelets, and even rings. You may even want to upload photos and favorite music files before presenting it.
For the scientifically-minded mom, you might consider a piece of the solar system. A piece of jewelry containing a small piece of a moon rock or a piece of Mars could be just the thing for the Mom who is a fan of astronomy.
The ultimate gift of course is one that you make yourself. The music fan would definitely appreciate something crafted from guitar strings or something from another stringed instrument.
You'll find many ideas on the World Wide Web. Earrings and other small pieces created from old discarded microchips are a popular and fun idea when it comes to crafting custom, one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces.
When it comes to buying your mother personalized jewelry, there are lots of options to consider. You might want to consider making your gift even more perfect for your mom by tying it in with one of her special interests.
