(10) This Hen + Chick Grow Kit ($59.95) is AWESOME! Love it! What a perfect way to pay tribute to your family’s “Mother Hen”. These ceramic hen and chick shaped planters are paired with the succulent species of sempervivum which is commonly known as “hen and chicks”.

(12) These pearl “peas” are nestled inside their pod in this lovely Sterling Silver Pea In A Pod Necklace ($69.95-$79.95). New York jewelry designer Michael Michaud was inspired by the real deal when he created this realistic necklace. This pendant may be ordered with one, two, three, or four freshwater pearls to represent each child.

For the Mom who loves classy and simple jewelry.

 

 

(13) What a fun way to ”catch” sunlight, and then release it as a peaceful glow into the night air. These hand-blown glass Solar Lights ($25 each) can be displayed on a patio table, nestled along a walkway, or hung from a hook. They each provide an ambient glow that catches the bright colors of the swirled glass enclosure. Each light’s silvery cap conceals a solar panel, which powers the long-lasting, energy-efficient LED bulb inside. A sensor in the lid automatically turns the light on when it’s dark.

For the Mom who enjoys a relaxing evening spent outside.
