Mother's Day Gifts for Moms & Expecting Moms

In Greek mythology, Gaia is the primordial earth mother: goddess of all creation and the most direct symbol of motherhood in the ancient pantheon. Artemis, though herself a virgin goddess, was the ancient protector of women in labor, invoked at every Greek childbirth.

Beyond the goddesses, historical figures like Clytemnestra (who avenged her daughter) and Boudica (who went to war for hers) symbolize the fiercer, protective face of motherhood. All make meaningful Mother's Day gifts.

Because the oldest stories of motherhood aren't only gentle ones. Clytemnestra avenged her daughter Iphigenia. Boudica led an army against Rome after Roman soldiers attacked her daughters. Even Artemis, despite being a virgin goddess, was the protector of every Greek woman in childbirth. The kind of love that shapes and defends another person has always required ferocity. These are gifts for the women who carry both.

The Ancient Fertility & Childbirth Amulet is our most-gifted piece for new and expecting mothers — based on talismans worn in the ancient Mediterranean for protection through pregnancy. The Gaia Mini Medallion is a softer everyday alternative.

Unfortunately as a small business this is a service we can't offer. Our packages do come in gorgeous plum-colored boxes that are perfect to give as-is.
