Her New Old Favorites: A Gift Guide

BY Taylor Rebhan

Fresh picks for mom this Mother’s Day.

SHE NEEDS MORE TIME ON HER HANDS

If you can’t literally give her time, at least help her keep track of it in style. From the special edition Diamond Petoskey Book—for a real special lady—to the everyday-and-night Derby, there’s a watch made just for Mom.

IF HER LOCK SCREEN IS A PICTURE OF THE DOG

The Oval Locket Pendant Necklace is the best way to stay close to Mom’s heart. Our signature oval design comes in both Sterling Silver and 14k Gold and can hold two wee photos inside the locket. Engrave the front for a personal touch that will leave a lasting impression. She’ll remember this gift from you forever. Even if she picks a picture of the dog.

FOR THE MICHIGAN MOM

No need to scour the shoreline for the perfect Petoskey. We’ve got them in every shape, size, color, and pattern in our unique Petoskey Collection, from watches to jewelry and everyday accessories.

These stones are best known as the rarified pebbles that wash up ashore on the banks of northern Lake Michigan. They originated as huge corral colony fossils, eroded by glaciers into the one-of-a-kind pieces we see today. Our Petoskey is sustainably sourced straight from a underground reef, then cut and polished by our partners in Vancouver, Washington.

Petoskey is the perfect gift for a Mom who hails from Michigan. It’s sentimental, thoughtful, and ever so stylish. From the Book—our first-ever watch to feature diamonds with Petoskey—to our thoughtfully crafted eyeglass lanyard, there are Petoskey pieces that dress up, dress down, and everything in between.

YOU ALWAYS WERE A CHARMER

The Shinola Charms Collection isn’t like other charm collections for two reasons: the Oval Clasp lets a wearer attach up to three charms at once, all while adding and removing, mixing and matching.

That means Mom can represent Michigan with her Petoskey charm, Geminis with her birthstone charm, and her love of the Eagles with a Record charm.

MAKE IT HER OWN

Thoughtful gifts start with personalization. Our Rivet Leather Collection lets you—or her—pick out engraving on the removeable raw brass rivets. Want to really spell out your love? Add more rivets.

HARD TO SHOP FOR?

Home goods to the rescue. Every Mom loves a candle, and ours are scented and hand-poured with love in Corktown, Detroit. Or try it as a room spray.

We’ve also got the coziest of Hotel robes, and amazingly soft short-sleeved sweatshirts, sewn in Detroit with American Terry cotton. And every mother deserves to feel the embrace of the alpaca wool Shinola Hotel blanket made by N.Y.-based Paris West.

You can always schedule an appointment with us at your local store. We can curate gift ideas, send directly to your recipient, and even personalize your gift.
