WHAT MOM REALLY WANTS
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
With Mother’s Day approaching and an onslaught of gift guides filling our email boxes and clogging the spam filters, we thought we'd throw our selects into the ring and provide some general, evergreen guidelines for making sure you're always well prepared to make mom happy.
Q:
What does mom really want?
A:
Things that are impractical.
Things in colors she likes.
Things related to her jewelry, makeup, and whatever else is on her vanity.
Things that make her #girldinners* more fun and fancier. (*Eaten after you go to sleep.)
Things that are allocated Just For Her.
Things for her rituals. You know.
Things that help her relax – good smells, fine fabrics, pleasing patterns.
Things that make it nice or easier for you to serve her coffee or breakfast in the morning.
Things to decorate the room of her own.
Time.
Quiet.
A night out dancing.
And more than anything, a handmade card.
