Hey, mom. We love you, we appreciate you, we look up to you, but we’re still pretty bad at finding you a proper mother’s day gift that makes up for all your calls we’ve shamefully screened. And while we shouldn’t have to wait until Mother’s Day to show you our devotion, it can serve as a good reminder that you deserve to be showered with the utmost amount of love we can give.
This year, we’re going to pass over your Amazon wishlist and skip on getting you a new microwave just because we know yours is broken. Instead, we’ll be pooling together all the pennies we have to gift you something that will provide you as much joy as we felt when we opened up the myriad of toys, bikes, and shopping mall excursions you’ve given us over the years. We hope you’ll love the options ahead as much as we love you.

The mecca of Mother’s Day gifts. While we could gift her an LV bag, we know we’d eventually be “borrowing” that too. So instead, get her something that’s all her own, like this ultra-chic logo’ed hanging mirror.
