Mother's Day is only a month away.
What should a new father give his wife? That is the question that many dads face.
Rather than running out at the last minute to purchase cut flowers from the florist, fathers have the opportunity to shine in the new mom's eyes by beginning a tradition that will last a lifetime.
There are gift ideas for the first big holiday celebrating motherhood that will make life easier for dads this year and in years to come.
Start a tradition! Begin with a gift that can be added to over the years.
One of the best purchases a father can make for his wife is a charm bracelet.
The first year the dad can purchase a charm bracelet with a single charm.
The charm could be a heart with the baby's name engraved on the back or perhaps the dad can give a charm that is a baby.
Most jewelry stores have a wide selection.
In years to come, the father can add a charm that is baby's first shoes as the child learns to walk or a pencil as the youngster learns to write.
There is something to add each year as the firstborn grows into adulthood.
Another great Mother's Day gift idea is to purchase a diamond heart pendant necklace.
They are not that expensive! Have the jeweler remove one of the small diamonds and replace it with the birth stone of the baby.
As the family grows, Dad can add a birth stone for each child.
What mother would not be thrilled with that? Family traditions, especially on holidays, are an important part of any family.
