To show you my Mother’s Day gift (for my DM!)

Hi MN, I’ve bought my DM a gift this year that I’m super excited over and I want to show everyone!! (Otherwise I’ll get too excited and give it early!!!).

For context, I’m early 20s, never had much money before for these occasions so felt like splurging a bit.
I’ve never gifted her anything like this before as she doesn’t typically wear jewellery but after the gift that I originally bought her didn’t arrive on time, I popped into a boutique in London and found this!

I’m a bit nervous as I’ve never seen my DM wear jewellery, not even a wedding ring. But I’ve put in two photos of me and her when I was a baby and also had it engraved with the year I was born (hence, the year she became a mother).

Just wondering if any of you mums to adult children would want to receive a gift like this? I’m very nervous that she won’t see the sentimental value or won’t like it 😭

Beautiful OP. I would treasure a gift like that.

Hope your mum loves it too 🥰

Gorgeous!
how do you get the photos so tiny?

Sorry I see that’s been answered

I would be over the moon if I got this. But I am also very much of the belief that it's the thought that counts. And you have put so much thought into this.

For everyone asking for updates - she really liked it! She was very happy with it and touched :)
Unfortunately for me I have to work this afternoon (hospitality) so we couldn’t go out for lunch or anything but did go for a nice walk this morning, so I think she is happy.

As she should be! What a fabulous daughter you are.
