“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.

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.
