My mom collects dainty gold pieces like this, so I'd slip this coin necklace into a box lined with tissue paper for her to unwrap slowly.

Lauren Plaid Bear Wrapping Paper
For the dog mom on my list, her pup's name stitched onto a bandana is the kind of gift that gets photographed before it's even worn.
Personalized Christmas Dog Bandana
Little Luxuries to Wrap
Picture this framed above my friend's desk, her golden retriever painted mid wag right next to her coffee mug every morning.
Custom Watercolor Pet Portrait
Next dinner party I'm invited to, I'd bring these instead of wine, monogrammed so she knows exactly who thought of her.
Monogrammed Linen Cocktail Napkins, Set of 4
Velvet lined and monogrammed, this is what I'd gift the friend whose jewelry collection has outgrown every drawer she owns.
