Inspire your Mum with love! Help your mother achieve some of her dreams with one of our wonderful Mother’s Day gifts of inspiration and love. We are from Spain and the Spanish have marvellous gifts for Mothers Day.

Mother Earth, motherhood, the Catholic Virgin Mary, Mother of Jesus / God . . and the modern celebration of Mothers Day formalised as a holiday by President Woodrow Wilson in 1914. There are many traditions but only one important feature: Mum. And because of Mum (or Grandma), we celebrate Mother’s Day every year with Mothers Day presents and special occasions and gifts of jewellery such as necklaces and earrings.

(Of course, these gifts for Mum / Mummy are also suitable for your Grandma / Gran / Granny or Mom). Mother’s Day is a celebration honouring mothers and motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society. It is celebrated on various days in many parts of the world, most commonly in March, April or May. In England, it is the 4th Sunday of Lent.

En España el día de la Madre es el primer domingo de Mayo (In Spain, Mothers Day is the first Sunday of May). In America – the 2nd  Sunday in May.

We have lots of ideas for presents with meaning that you will not find elsewhere online.

The first celebrations of Mother’s Day go back to ancient Greece – in honour of Rhea, the mother of the gods Zeus, Poseidon and Hades. Likewise the Romans called this celebration Hilaria and it was held on March 15 in the temple of Cybele and for three days they made offerings. In England in the seventeenth century, it was called Mothering Sunday. Children attended Mass and returned home with gifts for their mothers. In addition, as many people working for wealthy households did not have the opportunity to be at home, that Sunday was given as a day off for people to visit their families.

But there’s more to Mothers Day gifts than flowers, perfume or chocolate. Our gifts have more of a personal meaning, are filled with real meaning, and they don’t need to cost very much. For example, our Inspirational Tokens such as ‘Love blessing ring’ or ‘Guardian Angel sent to watch over you’ can say so much more and cost only a few euros. And, you can add a personalised message too. They are gifts with meaning conveying messages of love.

Product Details

. . a beautiful gift to pass on wishes of safekeeping

Hand-crafted by specialist silversmiths in Galicia, northern Spain, this sweet little sterling-silver and enamel Guardian Angel charm bears a tiny scallop shell of the Camino de Santiago. The combination of the little Guardian Angel and the Concha de Vieira shell is indicative of both protection and guidance: As a gift to a friend or loved-one, the Angel symbolises a wish to have someone watch over them: The little scallop shell symbolises a journey: PLUS, on the back of this unique and inspiring piece of jewellery, is an engraved Tau Cross of St Francis - the symbol of pilgrims, or people "on a mission" or a journey.

In Spain, some 150,000 people travel to Santiago de Compostela every year from all over the world to find inspiration and/or deeper spiritual understanding. Many carry with them a scallop shell of the Way of St James, a Tau cross, or some other symbol of personal significance like the St James Cross. This necklace (hand-crafted in A Coruña, Galicia, northern Spain) has similar significance.

Info about the Way of St James

The Way of St. James criss-crosses Western Europe, arriving at Santiago through Northern Spain. It is generally regarded as a journey of the body, mind and spirit. Modern pilgrims choose to do the Camino for personal, spiritual and/or religious reasons - or simply to take time out from their busy, modern lives. For many, the walk is to find inspiration - improving their outlook on life, bringing them into closer contact with nature and expanding their cultural horizons through contact with other pilgrims. Everyone experiences the journey in a different way.



This unique guardian angel necklace with its tiny scallop shell and Tau cross, really IS a piece of jewellery with meaning, and is the perfect present to wish someone a 'buen camino' / safe journey . Comes gift-wrapped, like all our presents - and we can print a personal message on your behalf.
