These are the best and the most loving ideas! I will give “Spade heart pendant necklace” on the coming mother’s day. Last year, I bought a stunning jar with 31 personalized messages from KindNotes. Now, she is really excited to get the gift and I am sure that she would be expecting something new. Hope she will like a lot the idea of the necklace. Thanks for sharing!
