Mother’s Jewelry: A Great [spinn]present|gift[/spin] For Dads
It often appears that moms receive all of the recognition for bearing children; whether it’s those first few newborn days or the many Mother’s Days that come after. They’re showered with flowers and gifts, and the closeness that comes with being a mom.
While women certainly have done their fair share to earn this honor, the one figure that stands in the background, having the same duty for raising a child in today’s world, is the dad. With all the flurry of activity around children and the women who bring them forth into this world, today’s new dad is often omitted from the loop—whether in terms of responsibility or in celebrating their fatherhood with commemorative gifts.
The male experience of pregnancy and fatherhood is more involved today than ever before. Books, parenting classes, and specialty shops provide today’s fathers with the information, supplies, and skills training necessary to play an active role in the birth and lifelong care of their children.
Moms often receive gifts in commemoration of their kids. Jewelry is a popular choice, given on birthdays, Mother’s Day, holidays, and anniversaries for just such a purpose. A mother’s rings — personalized with the names, birth dates, or birthstones of her children—is one of today’s most popular gifts. These and other types of mother’s jewelry provide women with wearable mementos of motherhood.
Fortunately for today’s dad, mother’s jewelry is no longer just for the female side of this couple. Men, too, are now celebrating their fatherhood and remembering their children with personalized jewelry. The term “family jewelry” has been coined to express this new category and incorporates mothers, fathers, grandparents, and siblings. Necklace pendants, charms and rings, customized with children’s’ names, birth dates, and birthstones, are now available in both feminine female designs and more understated male versions.
In a society that encourages men to become more active in the rearing and care of their children, and embraces those that do, it’s important to recognize that dad is working hard, too, and his children are also the focus of his universe. So, consider a gift of personalized family jewelry for the fathers in your life. What a wonderful way to recognize that their children are the focus of their universe too.
