Mother's Day 2026 falls on Sunday, May 10 — and if you're already in a slight panic because you haven't found a gift yet: don't worry. In this post, we share 12 ideas for personalised Mother's Day gifts with jewellery engraving, ready in 15 minutes and guaranteed to mean more than a bouquet of flowers.
Every idea can be done at any LAFENY store in Austria — no appointment, no waiting. Diamond-engraved, waterproof, from €5 per side.
Why personalised jewellery is the best Mother's Day gift
Chocolate is eaten within a week. Flowers last a few days. A gift voucher quickly ends up in a drawer.
Personalised jewellery, on the other hand, often gets worn every day — sometimes for decades. An engraved necklace with your child's name, or a message only Mum and you understand, is more than a gift. It's a reminder that goes with her everywhere.
And the best part: you don't need to spend €200. At LAFENY, beautiful, high-quality pieces start from €10 — engraving is €5 per side.
12 ideas for personalised Mother's Day gifts
1. Necklace with her children's names The classic — and for good reason. A delicate necklace with the names of all her children, in birth order. With several children, we can engrave the names side by side or one below the other. It also works beautifully with initials.
2. Pendant with a birth date A simple, elegant pendant with a child's birth date (or several). Written as 10.05.1985 or in the modern style 10/05/1985. Small, personal, always with her.
3. Bracelet with coordinates The coordinates of the hospital where the child was born. Or the family home. Or her favourite place. Coordinates are subtle — at first glance just numbers, on second glance a whole story.
4. Necklace with "Mama" in your handwriting Have your child write the word "Mama" on a piece of paper — and we'll engrave it exactly as written. A child's handwriting on a necklace is one of the most moving gifts of all.
5. Pendant with a child's drawing Has your child drawn a heart, a sun, or a stick figure? We engrave the original drawing onto a pendant. Works especially well on round or heart-shaped pendants. The drawing is reproduced exactly with the diamond tip.
6. Bracelet with a short quote A line that holds special meaning between you and your mother. Popular classics:
- "Liebste Mama"
- "For Mom"
- "Die beste Mama der Welt"
- "Ti amo, Mamma"
- A line from her favourite song or film
7. Necklace with a star sign Your mother's star sign (or her child's) as a symbol on a pendant. Twelve options, all engravable. Subtle and personal at the same time.
8. Pendant with a symbol for each child Instead of names, you can also engrave symbols — a heart for each child, a sun, a star. Nice when the names would be too long, or if you prefer something more abstract.
9. Bracelet with "Wedding day" or family dates The date of your parents' wedding. Or the birth dates of their children. Or the date of an important family moment. Multiple dates fit easily on a bracelet — €5 per side, no matter how many numbers.
10. Necklace with family initials The initials of every family member on one necklace — or on several smaller pendants on one chain. A more modern variation: just the first letters in a row, e.g. "M ♥ A ♥ L".
11. Keychain with a message If your mother doesn't wear jewellery: an engraved keychain works just as well as a personal gift. We also engrave keychains with names, dates, or messages.
12. Pendant with the word "Mama" in several languages If your mother is multilingual (or your family has international roots): "Mama" in German, "Mom" in English, "Maman" in French, "Mamma" in Italian — all on one pendant. We engrave in every language and writing system.
How much does a personalised Mother's Day gift at LAFENY cost?
The nice thing about LAFENY: prices are transparent and affordable.
- Jewellery from €10 — most pieces cost between €10 and €20
- Engraving €5 per side, no matter how many letters or symbols
- A complete gift often under €25 — fully engraved, in 15 minutes
Compare that with online retailers, where personalised jewellery quickly costs €60–150 and takes 5–10 days to deliver. At LAFENY, you walk out of the shop with the finished gift in your hand.

- Come in. At any LAFENY store (Vienna, Linz, Vösendorf). No appointment needed.
- Choose your jewellery. Necklaces, bracelets, pendants, keychains — we'll help you pick.
- Discuss the engraving. Tell us what should be engraved. Bring a sample if you want to engrave a handwriting or drawing.
- Wait 15 minutes. Grab a coffee or browse the shopping centre.
- Leave with a finished gift. Diamond-engraved, waterproof, ready to give.
When should you get the Mother's Day gift?
Mother's Day 2026 is Sunday, May 10. Our recommendation:
- By May 8 at the latest — shop relaxed, all options available
- May 9 (Saturday before Mother's Day) — no problem, but the stores get a bit busier
- May 10 (Mother's Day itself) — still works, all stores open
Since engraving takes 15 minutes, a last-minute gift is perfectly possible. You don't have to order hours in advance.
Where do I find LAFENY?
LAFENY has 5 stores in Austria:
- Vienna: Donauzentrum, Shopping City Süd (SCS), Lugner City
- Linz: PlusCity
- Graz: Shopping City Seiersberg (opening October 2026)
All stores are in large shopping centres — so you can combine the gift with a relaxed shopping day.
Frequently asked questions
How long does engraving take on Mother's Day weekend? Standard is 15 minutes. In the days right before Mother's Day, it can take a bit longer as more customers are getting gifts at the same time. To be safe, plan for 30–45 minutes.
Can I also get gift wrapping? Yes. We gift-wrap every gift on request — free of charge.
What if my mother doesn't like the piece? Non-engraved jewellery can be exchanged within 14 days. Engraved jewellery is a one-of-a-kind piece and cannot be exchanged — that's why we go through the design together before engraving, so you can be sure.
Can you also engrave photos? We engrave drawings, sketches and handwriting — not photos in the classic sense. But: a photo can serve as a reference for a sketch, which we then engrave.
Which languages can you engrave? All of them. We engrave in German, English, French, Italian, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, Hebrew, Japanese, Korean, Cyrillic and many other languages and writing systems.
