Handmade Jewelry Boxes - The Ultimate Unique Mother's Day Gifts Idea

By Steven Kass Smith

Every year it seems to be more challenging to find unique Mother s Day gifts ideas. And, even if you succeed one year, then the next year you have to top it again! Whether you are looking for unique unusual gifts for mothers or perhaps something to show your appreciation of your wife, nothing is more special or personal than a handmade wooden jewelry box.

There are very few women who wouldn't love handmade boxes for jewelry in which to store her accessories and keepsakes. Whether she's diamonds and pearls or more into costume jewelry, nearly every women feels more special when she accessorizes. However, it's hard to choose from her collection if she can't see what she has. If your mom or wife currently stores her jewelry in a shoebox in a drawer, then you simply can not go wrong with this unique handmade gift idea.

Handmade jewelry boxes made of exotic hardwoods also serve as a beautiful decorative piece in any room as well. So the jewelry box serves two functions; it organizes your special lady's jewelry and keepsakes, while also serving as a piece of art that will draw attention from every guest. The best part is, it's a gift idea that opens up more ideas for future occasions. From now on, you can add to her collection once she is able to organize the jewelry she currently owns.

It's important, however, to get something that is handmade. We live in a world of mega-stores and mass-produced items. There is just something special about a handmade gift that is not like any other in the world. Especially when it comes to a handmade wooden jewelry box; when no two grains of any two woods are ever the same, it truly does become a one-of-a-kind piece. She will know that you picked out something as special and unique as she is. No mass-produced item made in China can ever create the same feeling of appreciation again.

So, when choosing the ultimate gift to honor your mother or wife, remember to choose something unique. It will be a gift that makes her think of you every time she uses it!
