Gifts for Mom's across all walks of life
https://restofthenest.com/pages/about-me
"In the midst of heartbreak from multiple miscarriages I had the idea to make a necklace out of baby's breath to help me feel close to the babies we had lost. The idea took off and eventually turned into the Rest of the Nest, a company which that exists with the sole purpose to celebrate life and honor loss. Whether it is to hold a memory close, let someone know you care or are looking for a timeless keepsake, I hope you find it here at Rest of the Nest."
Mother’s Day can be a wonderful time of year to celebrate the amazing Mom's in our lives. Specifically, those who have embarked on the journey of motherhood. Their sacrifices and devotion are often unmatched. And this holiday gives many of us the chance to say “thank you”. Thanking them for their endless hours spent caring, nurturing and loving others.
Mom’s don’t all come in the same shape or size, nor have they taken the same journey to motherhood. For some it was planned, but for others unexpected. And for some, they have hoped and prayed, yet suffered the agony of loss.
Gifts for the Hopeful, Resilient, Courageous, Expert and Brave Mom’s
Regardless of the type of Mom (or hopeful Mom to be) that you are trying to celebrate in your life this year, consider taking a moment to find a gift that reflects their unique journey to motherhood, and gives them some peace, joy or comfort.
Hopeful Mom’s
We call those hoping for their first baby, or even a rainbow baby — Hopeful Mom’s. These are the mothers who are trying to start their journey to motherhood. And they need all of the good wishes, hopes and prayers to help make that journey a reality.
- Our Engraved Locket Necklace, or Keychain is a perfect way to store a picture of a baby’s first sonogram or ultrasound.
- Our Rainbow Necklace. This is a special piece dedicated to those mothers hoping for a rainbow baby (a healthy baby born after a previous miscarriage or baby loss). We know the journey is extra hard for these mothers and the necklace is meant to be a small reminder of the miracle this next child can be.

Resilient Mom’s
One of the hardest parts of motherhood to weather is loss. These mothers have endured something no one is ever meant to endure. Because of this, we say they are Resilient.
- The forget me not seed may be small, but is a big reminder of a mother's love. Our Forget Me Not Seed Necklace represents life’s beginnings and shows how a child will always hold a special place in their Mom’ heart.
- The blue forget me not flower is a symbol of health, reflection and remembrance. So at Rest of the Nest, we have a few different jewelry pieces including this special flower. Whether it is our Blue Forget Me Not Necklace, or a Keychain, it is designed to be a subtle reminder of what once was.

Courageous Mom’s
For the mother with a full plate of juggling school activities, play dates, learning about Pokemon or Disney Princesses, there is a good chance that they are pretty Courageous. We call them this because they take on every bump, twist or turn that comes with being a mom. Doing so with grace and a smile. Regardless of the many sleepless nights, endless worry or lingering imposter syndrome. Motherhood may be a challenge, but they wouldn’t trade it for anything.
- A special gift for Mom’s in the midst of motherhood can come from one of our many engraved pieces. From a thumbprint to a hand, or even their own handwriting (this can be on packaging or any of our engraved products), a number of special moments can be captured in a special jewelry piece.
- For our courageous Mom's, we recommend our Custom Silhouette Locket Necklace. It is a special way to capture their child’s silhouette in a precious locket to hold close to them. And if there is only one child, the other side can have engraved text inside.

Expert Mom’s
For the mom's who have years of wisdom from their experience raising newborns to teenagers and beyond, we call them our Expert Mom’s.
- Any Mom can be an expert, but when looking for something sentimental, or to remind a mother of how far they have come in their journey, a personalized locket with a meaningful picture or words may fit the bill. Our Engraved Picture Necklace can have a picture of their child, them and their spouse, their own parents or anything special to hold close to their heart.

Brave Mom’s
Motherhood is not for the faint of heart. All Mom’s step-up to the challenge, demonstrating bravery as they care and nurture more than one child.
- Mom’s with more than one child, or even those who have lost a child, may appreciate our Birth Month Flower Necklace. It is a necklace where you can pick the unique combination of birth month flowers to engrave on the piece, and hold a special, yet subtle meaning in a dainty and personalized necklace.
- A twist on our original Baby’s Breath Necklace is our Pink, White or Blue Baby’s Breath Necklace. This piece can have any combination of the three colored flowers and is a beautiful way to represent the different children in a Mom’s life.
