Make Mother’s Day special this year – give her a gift she will cherish

Instead of the usual flowers, trinkets or scented candles, why not give a gift that mom can cherish forever and that will appreciate in value.  Antiques vary from just a few hundreds to tens of thousands of rands.  Whether you’re shopping for a new mother, a mother of growing children or an older mother with grandchildren, these gift ideas have something for everyone.

Gift ideas to make Mother’s Day extra special:

• Jewellery – Whether real gold or diamonds, rare gems, costume jewellery, cameos, pearls, charms or period jewellery – all women love jewellery!

• Perfume Bottles – Beautiful crystal with silver tops, miniature or commercial.

• Figurines – choose from beautiful ladies to animals; in porcelain, marble or bronze.

• Jewellery boxes, music boxes, pill boxes, powder boxes – decorative and valuable, these will look great on any dressing table.

• Picture frames – in silver – to keep that special photograph in.

• Embroidered old linen – beautifully crafted to cherish.

• Designer bags – have become retro fashion favourites.
