Unique Jewelry, Tea, and Footwear Make Memorable Mother’s Day Gifts

St. Louis, MO — With the Easter holiday in the past, it’s now time to focus on the next big holiday: Mother’s Day. This is the time to show her how much she is appreciated. Flowers, a card, a phone call, or simply spending time with her would be ideal. But for those searching for that perfect gift, Soft Surroundings (www.SoftSurroundings.com) offers a wealth of offerings that she would adore. Rather than the predictable robe or slippers, surprise her this year with a cool pair of shoes, fashion jewelry, or exotic tea.

Mom would love a great summer shoe (http://www.softsurroundings.com/Footwear/Shoes/). The talented South African craftswomen from Tsonga hand-stitch the very special Henna Thong to bring hope and prosperity to their villages. Support their efforts and give Mom an amazing gift with these supple suede sandals she'll never want to take off. Custom-crafted with a comfort foot-bed that will ease every step she takes. The thong features an exotic pattern, toe-ring and heel for a fashion statement that is anything but ordinary. Another great choice would be the Aphrodite Sandal. Soft, natural leather and gleaming copper colored aluminum hardware create a fun and alluring combination. The flower centerpiece is fastened on a flat chocolate-brown leather foot-bed. Pair it with a flowing skirt for the perfect summer look.

If Mom has a penchant for distinctive jewelry (http://www.softsurroundings.com/Accessories/Jewelry/), Soft Surroundings has fashion accessories that would appeal to the most discriminating recipient. Exotic elements from all corners of the earth create the Turquoise Tribal Necklace, rich with vibrant, contrasting colors. Large turquoise stones, reconstructed amber nuggets, red resin, Peking and Czech glass beads, and Ethiopian nickel silver combine in an eye-catching mélange on this lovely necklace. Since no two stones are alike, each necklace is a unique work of art. The romantic Shell Seeker Earrings sparkle softly in shades of cream and champagne, thanks to the dazzling assortment of Czech crystals, mother of pearl and shell-like bone ornaments that dangle from the gold-plated hoops.

Does Mom take pleasure in a cup of tea? Then she’ll enjoy hand-selected Indian "long leaf" Happy Elephant Tea (http://www.softsurroundings.com/P/16735/10/). Individual nylon bags function as infusers, allowing whole tealeaves to be brewed for complete flavor. Each tea is hand selected by Tea Master Indra Vadan Singh and comes in unique packaging that depicts centuries-old Indian artwork. Choose from the menu of classic black teas, fruit flavored black teas, green teas or herbal teas. Each tea is sold separately and includes 16 infusers with enough tea for a teapot. This tea was recently featured in “Real Simple Magazine” and on NBC's “The Today Show.”
