“Getting to be a mom is the best Mother’s Day gift in and of itself.” We all know the deferential cliche moms trot out when asked about Mother’s Day gifts. But they’re lying. The real answer isn’t complicated or expensive: we just want to feel appreciated. Figuring out how to do that can be a challenge, but not with a little inspiration.
Mother’s Day is Sunday 10 May. To jog your creativity, we asked several moms, grandmothers and even a great-grandmother from all walks of life about the best Mother’s Day gifts they’ve ever received. Think: personalized anything and everything, photos of mom and her favorite people (because she shouldn’t have to be relegated to behind the camera) and gadgets that make her day a little easier. And to round out the list, Filter staffers chimed in with a few of the hits among moms in their lives.
