5 Must Have Mother's Day Gifts!

Mother's Day is only once a year and for 2014, it is this Sunday, May 11th!

Mother’s Day is a celebration of gratitude for the most demanding job in the world. Now that we’re past the age of making noodle art, overcooked pancakes, and handmade cards colored with crayons, the perfect gift is something that she can use and enjoy for years to come. Jack Georges can certainly help you with making the right choice for your mother.

Of course, while we think of our own mother this time of year, we can't forget all of the mothers in our lives including wives, grandmothers, aunts, and sisters and cousins with children! Jack Georges has great Mother's Day gifts for them as well.

To make Mother’s Day shopping a breeze, we put together our list of the top 5 picks so that you choose something that will stand the test of time and serve as a reminder that your gift is from the heart.

The Nevada shopper comes with top zip closure for security and a zippered inside pocket with plenty of space for whatever she needs.

The 673 Tri-fold/French purse from the Jack Georges Venezia collection combines the finest full-grain vegetable tanned Italian leather from the Tuscany region of Italy with tried and true American Napa leather. This purse has snap closure, 9 credit card slots, an ID window, pockets for holding receipts and notes, and a zippered change compartment on the back. She will love the detailing of the Croco-embossed calfskin which is individually hand stained, brushed, and tipped for a classic look. Best of all, the Italian leather will build a rich patina with time and use, adding to its appeal. It’s perfect for a mother that needs a compact wallet with a blend of practicality and style.
