ETUI Glasses Leather Wine Red by ANNABOONEhandmade
A nice and thoughtful present for a mom who can never find a proper place to store her eyeglasses. Suitable for active women who are always on-the-go, this red etui is a stylish prop for keeping sunglasses or eyeglasses safe and easy to find. Very chic!
Hand made from thick leather and hand stitched with waxed yarn, this is the kind of double-duty item that can be used for other small objects as well. Think: cosmetics, lipsticks or even a cluster of pens.

The perfumes are enriched with essential oils and are hand poured. Not just that, but they are also cruelty-free and fair trade.

Moss Agate Textured Cuff by MineralogyDesign
No Christmas gift guide for mothers would be truly complete without a magnificent piece of jewelry, would it now? So here’s our pick: a superb agate cuff that is bound to make a statement. And a sizeable one at that!
Knowing that the moss agate at the center measures 30×30 mm, it’s easy to approximate the overall width of the bracelet. The cuff is adjustable, so it should fit most wrists. A superb gift to love and to wear all day and all night, this beauty will go with every outfit! And, given that this bracelet is fabricated entirely by hand, we’re pretty certain that your mom will be head over heels about it. Such a dreamy gift!
