The Gifts Your Mom Actually Wants
Mother’s Day is May 11th this year, so it's time to start thinking about your gift options. But instead of thinking of Mom as the lady to whom you owe a phone call, think of her as an actual person. Is she the type of woman who appreciates a luxury perfume or the indulgence of a cult-favorite Japanese teapot? Is she the active type always on the move or a homebody who'd like to spend an afternoon painting? Or does she adore (yet never treats herself to) the finer things like French confections? The key is to think of the way she lives and then find something that would suit her. It's been a tough year ... let's treat our mothers to something special. Here are our tried-and-true gift ideas for every type of mom on your list.
