Gifts for her: engraved bracelets and personalised posters
A gift for a woman rarely fails for lack of taste: it fails because it could have been given to anyone. What changes that is what is engraved on it. A star sign follows from a date of birth without asking her anything. Two initials framing a symbol are more often her children’s than a couple’s. A date on a second line is as much a birth as a wedding. And two posters start from that same date and go elsewhere: the exact sky of the night of a birth, or the moon of that night. Allow €23.90 for an engraved bracelet and from €19.90 for a printed poster. And check the date: Mothering Sunday falls nowhere near the French, German or Spanish one. And for a woman who has lost someone, a bracelet of remembrance: a feather, a nickname, two years.

Star Sign Bracelet – Engraved Wood, Birthday Gift
All you need is when she was born. The sign is engraved as a symbol without its name: discreet under a sleeve, obvious to anyone who reads the twelve glyphs — and there is nothing to ask her.
€23.90
-
Two Initials and a Symbol Bracelet – Heart or Infinity Engraved
Three marks on one line: an initial, a symbol, an initial. Sold as a couple’s bracelet, it is very often ordered with two children’s initials — which is where it really belongs.
€23.90
-
Initials and Date Bracelet – Wedding Anniversary Gift
Sold as a lovers’ bracelet, it becomes something else the moment you engrave the date of a birth and a child’s initials on it. Of our couple bracelets, it is the only one that engraves a day of the calendar.
€23.90
-
Puzzle Couple Bracelet – Two Engraved Initials
Two jigsaw pieces that only make sense together, with nothing romantic about them. Mother and daughter order two alike; so do two sisters, or two friends.
€23.90
-
Personalised star map poster
The night she gave birth, the night she was born, the night before a move: the stars of that evening are calculated for the hour and place given, not picked to look pretty. A title and a dedication print underneath.
From €8.90
-
Personalised moon phase poster — the lunar month
The moon of one night at the centre, the nights of its lunar month around it. A real NASA photograph, tinted to the chosen style — the gift you can make from far away, without knowing a size.
From €8.90
-
Feather Memorial Bracelet – Name & Dates
For a woman who has lost someone: a feather across the bead, a first name or a nickname — Nana, Dad — and two years. The bracelet you give when you do not know what to say, and that is worn without anyone noticing.
€23.90

The dates, and when to order

Frequently asked questions
What do you give on Mothering Sunday if she does not want her own name on a bracelet?
The initials and symbol bracelet engraves her children’s initials, not hers: it speaks of her without naming her. The star sign bracelet engraves a single glyph, legible only to those who know the signs. Both are worn every day without announcing anything to anyone.
When does Mother’s Day fall from one country to another?
In Britain, Mothering Sunday is the fourth Sunday of Lent, in March — it moves with Easter. In the United States it is the second Sunday in May, in Germany the same, in Spain the first Sunday in May, and in France the last Sunday in May. Ordering to the British date for a French mother is six weeks early.
What should be engraved for a birth rather than a wedding?
The initials and date bracelet takes either, but the star map poster settles it: it needs the place and the hour, which are known for a birth and rarely for a wedding. For a birth, the moon phase poster works too and asks only for the date.
Can you give to a mother and a daughter without giving the same thing twice?
The jigsaw bracelet is made for that: two pieces that only complete each other, each in its own size and cord colour. It is not a lovers’ bracelet — nothing about it is romantic, it is a tie, and it reads as one.
What works when you live far away and do not know her size?
A poster: it raises no question of wrist size, and the print-it-yourself file lets you give it even when a parcel would not arrive in time. The star map needs a date, a place and an hour; the moon phase needs only a date.
