mother knows best

personalized bangles * giant puka ring * hawaii hoops

mother's day may still be a month away but since one of my favorite gift ideas requires a bit of lead time, today seems like a good day to share it with those of you on the lookout for something cool to give the person who gave you life. these lovely handcrafted bangles by pua jewelry can be customized with the names of your ohana's keiki making it sweet without being too sappy.

keep in mind that this is not a gift for procrastinating souls so if you dig it be sure your order is in a minimum of 2 weeks before it is time to celebrate mom. pua designer lauren hewett also has a few new goodies like this substantial puka shell ring and earrings to show your hawaii pride.

one final note - you may have noticed that pua's website is in the process of transforming into the seaweed boutique. the buzz is that lauren plans to stock the new online shop with an array of rare tropical finds in addition to her jewelry line. stay posted for more details.
