Mother’s Day is just around the corner on Sunday, May 8, but you still have some time to spare if you haven’t gotten that perfect gift yet.

The truth is, even if you had all the time in world, finding the perfect Mother’s Day gift can be hard.

If she’s into diamonds, diamond stud earrings are a staple and a good addition to any woman’s wardrobe. Wanna go with a simple heart? Then get her a heart-shaped pendant. If she’s more a simple woman, a pair of hoop earrings are classic and go with almost every look. If she’s fashion-forward and always keeping up with the latest trends, we’ve got suggestions for that too.
