Personalized Mother’s Day Gifts with The Empire Mall

Yet another holiday is quickly approaching, and it’s one that’s near and dear to my heart. Mother’s Day is such a special day to spend with your loved ones but once you become a mom, the day takes on a whole new meaning. I have always had a special love and appreciation for my mom. I’m always so incredibly grateful for the relationship we have.

Once I became a mom myself, my appreciation for her went to an entirely new level. I gained a true understanding of the sacrifices she made and the things she had done over the years to provide the best life possible for my sisters and I. She is a wonderful example for me, now as a working mom myself, of how important it is to advocate for a work-life balance. I cannot put into words how much my mom, as a woman, means to me.

Of course I love celebrating Mother’s Day with my kids, but most of all, I enjoy finding just the right gift that will be meaningful to my own mother.

This year, I’ve partnered with The Empire Mall in Sioux Falls to share my two favorite stops for personalized and meaningful gifts for any special woman in your life.

 

Several years ago, I received my first Pandora bracelet. It’s still one of my most cherished pieces of jewelry. Pandora in The Empire Mall offers so many options for unique and beautiful jewelry. I love that you can purchase a bracelet and build upon it over time. Each charm and bead on my bracelet holds a special meaning and reminds me of a specific experience or celebration in my life.

I gave my mom her first Pandora bracelet on Mother’s Day back in 2012 when I was pregnant with Carsten. It is still one of her favorite gifts I’ve given her. It symbolizes the special relationship we have as mother and daughter as well her favorite role as ‘Nana’ for my kids.

The staff at The Empire Mall Pandora was so helpful in finding pieces that were personal to myself and my mom. I fell in love with this rose gold ring and their rose gold necklace options.

The second location within the mall that makes personalized gift shopping incredibly simple, is the Alex & Ani section within the Riddle’s Jewelry store.

My sister is the one who first told me about Alex & Ani jewelry. It’s another fabulous way to build a meaningful wearable piece that you can wear for years to come. There are countless charms that with new lines being released all of the time so there’s never a bad time to check in on the fresh bracelets and charms available.

One of the newest lines features Paris charms. These resonated with me simply because of their beauty and style. This is just one example of how personal they are designed to be. From locations to special interests (Harry Potter included!), there is something for everyone.

I’m looking forward to spending Mother’s Day with the moms in my life and celebrating the things that make them special by giving them something that is unique as they are.
